<h4>Chapter 246: Marriage at Number 246?</h4>


    As Chloe Simpson spoke, not only Alexander Johnson, but even Gabrie Dyer, who was kneeling on the ground, snapped her head up to look at her.


    Gabrie could never have imagined that Chloe actually agreed to Master Johnson’s suggestion to keep the child while abandoning the mother.


    She couldn’t help but clench her fists tightly.


    If Chloe agreed to keeping the child while abandoning the mother, wouldn’t her entire n fall apart?


    If Chloe agreed, Alexander obviously wouldn’t resist Master Johnson anymore.


    Of course, the person who found this most uneptable was Alexander.


    His fists were clenched so tightly that the veins on the back of his hands bulged one by one, raging.


    Did this woman even understand what keeping the child while abandoning the mother truly meant?


    "You agree?"


    Soren Johnson was briefly stunned, also not expecting Chloe to agree so decisively. "Miss Simpson, do you know what keeping the child while abandoning the mother implies?"


    "Master Johnson, no matter what it implies, I agree. I only have one request—whatever happened between me and the Eldest Young Master, it was my fault. Please don’t make things difficult for my family."


    Soren chuckled suddenly after hearing her words, "Hehehehe! Youngdy, what kind of people do you think the Johnson Family are? Hm? Almighty despots who treat lives like grass beneath their feet?"


    "Don’t worry, your family will remain untouched by the Johnson Family. You also won’t be targeted. However, you must understand, with your status, it’s impossible for you to step through the Johnson Family’s doors."


    "As for the child in your womb, it’s Johnson Family bloodline. It carries Johnson blood and must stay with the Johnson Family. From today until delivery, you must stay under the Johnson Family’s watchful eye."


    "After the child is born, the Johnson Family can give you a sum of money—enough to ensure your materialfort for the rest of your life. But as for the child, pretend you were never its mother, keep this secret buried deep inside, and never mention it again for as long as you live."


    "Of course, externally, the Johnson Family will im that the affair between you and Alexander was a misunderstanding—a deliberate smear campaign by rival businesses targeting the Johnson Family to trend online."


    After Soren finished speaking, Chloe was utterly stunned.


    "!"


    To be honest, when she first heard the term "keeping the child while abandoning the mother," her instinctive thought was that she didn’t have much time left to live.


    But she hadn’t expected things to turn out this way.


    "Alright." Chloe considered for a moment and nodded her agreement.


    Because she had no reason not to agree.


    This oue was actually much better than she dared to hope for.


    "Alright, Alexander, since she’s yours and the child is yours, take her home. During this time, find someone to take good care of Miss Simpson, and make sure she delivers the child safely."


    Seeing Chloe agree, Soren directed Alexander to take her away.


    "Yes, Grandpa."


    Alexander was also stunned; when he’d first heard the suggestion to keep the child while abandoning the mother, he truly thought Master Johnson would harm Chloe. He hadn’t expected Master Johnson would only insist she deliver the baby and then leave.


    At the moment, it seemed this was likely the most significant concession Master Johnson could make.


    "Alright, you can get up now."


    Soren nced at Gabrie, who was still kneeling on the ground, and gave the order.


    Gabrie nodded. "Alright, Dad. Thank you for not holding things against Alexander."


    Just as she finished speaking, the butler rushed in.


    "Master Johnson, Miss Wilson is here."


    "Where is she?"


    Soren frowned. Why did it have to be so coincidental that she came at this moment?


    The butler bowed respectfully. "She’s already at the door."


    "Let her in." Soren’s expression darkened slightly as he gave the instruction.


    The affair between Alexander and Chloe had already gone viral; there was no way to hide it from the Wilson Family.


    The inevitable was bound to happen!


    "Yes, Master Johnson."


    The butler responded and retreated, returning two minutester with Selene Wilson.


    "Miss Wilson, pleasee in."


    As Selene entered the living room, she saw Gabrie, Alexander, Chloe, Master Johnson, and the matriarch all present. She smiled faintly.


    "Oh, Miss Simpson is here too. What a coincidence. Since we’ve run into each other, I won’t beat around the bush. Master Johnson, I have always liked you and wanted to be your granddaughter-inw."


    "But now it seems I don’t have that luck anymore. Miss Simpson already has a child. Next up, won’t it be marriage due to pregnancy? I think it’s best to cancel my engagement with Young Mister Johnson."
