?Chapter 614:
ra said it like it was perfectly reasonable, as if her daughter and soon-to-be inws owed her just because she gave birth to Doreen.
Jazlyn had heard enough. The anger bubbling inside her was now fully on the surface.
She had once thought Doreen could be useful with a bit of guidance—maybe even serve as a weapon against Ste one day. But after what she just witnessed, she realized she’dpletely misjudged the girl. Doreen was worse than Ste, far worse.
Her voice went cold. “Doreen, you never mentioned any of this before.”
Seeing that there was no hiding it anymore, Doreen dropped the gentle, innocent act and looked at Jazlyn with an unbothered calm. “I never lied to you. You just never asked about my family.”
Jazlyn raised her hand, pointing at Doreen as her body trembled with rage. “You. You!”
But Doreen didn’t flinch. She stayed calm and said, “Mrs. Walsh, I haven’t done anything wrong. I’m pregnant with your son’s child. If you think I’m not good enough, that’s fine—I’ll end the pregnancy right now. Just so you know, it’s a healthy baby.”
That hit Jazlyn like a punch to the chest. Her eyes flew wide open—not just with rage, but with fear too. The baby was the one thing she cared most about.
Doreen, knowing this, didn’t hold back. “Now that everything’s out in the open, let’s just be honest with each other. Give my mom a million, and I’ll give birth to the child for your family. Sound fair?”
To her, a baby in exchange for a million sounded like a reasonable deal. But Jazlyn didn’t even have that much money in her ount. How was she supposed toe up with it?
“Don’t push your luck, Doreen!”
“I’m not being greedy,” Doreen replied calmly. “But if you won’t agree, that’s fine too. I’ll pack my things, leave this house, and head straight to the hospital.”<fn688d> Checktest chapters at Find~Novel</fn688d>
With that, she turned and started walking upstairs.
Jazlyn’s heart clenched at the thought of losing the baby. She rushed after her and stopped at the bedroom door. “Fine! I’ll give you the million you want.”

Doreen’s face lit up instantly. She thought she had sealed the deal. But then ra’s voice rang out from the first floor. “One million? That’s just the beginning! We still need a house, a car, and everything else thates with marriage. Don’t think we’ll settle for less!”
Jazlyn’s expression turned from tense to furious. She had just agreed to give a million, and now ra was asking for even more? She shot a sharp re at Doreen. “Don’t take it too far.”
Doreen knew her mother had crossed a line, but she still tried to keep things going.
“Mrs. Walsh, everything my mom said is normal. Any decent family gives these things when their son gets married.”
Jazlyn sneered with augh. “I’m not stopping you from marrying into the Walsh family. But have you asked Marc? Does he even want to marry you?”
The moment ra heard that, she bolted up the stairs and shouted, “What’s that supposed to mean? Your son knocks up my daughter and refuses to take responsibility? No—”
Way! If that’s the case, we’re going for an abortion right now!”
The repeated threats about abortion finally pushed Jazlyn over the edge. “Fine! Go do it. Get rid of the baby. After that, don’t expect anything from us ever again!”
