Get Out

Alexander Vance and Third Master Valentine both looked at Marcus Valentine, who had barged in suddenly.

Their expressions were stern, and they spoke in unison.

"Get out."

"Get out."

Marcus Valentine was speechless.

The corner of his mouth twitched.

He couldn't help but mutter, "The two of you have such默契. If I didn't know better, I'd think you were real brothers!"

"Third Uncle, I know you admire Alexander and want him to marry a Valentine daughter."

"I want him to marry my cousin too, so I can act like his older brother-in-law!"

"You can do it!"

After saying this, Marcus sheepishly took a step back.

His interruption eased the tense atmosphere slightly.

Alexander looked back at Third Master Valentine.

"Thank you for your high opinion of me."

Third Master Valentine sneered.

"Don't think a polite remark will make me spare that love child."

"I came here to clear all obstacles for Miss Nan."

Alexander sighed softly.

"I understand you want to protect Mrs. Ashcroft."

"But Evelyn is my wife. Protecting her is my responsibility too."

"Third Master, I'm afraid I must offend you this time."

Third Master Valentine narrowed his eyes, his gaze sharp as a blade.

"Then let's see."

The situation downstairs was tense and hostile.

Upstairs in the hospital room, Evelyn Ross stood by the window.

She looked toward the parking lot, worried about Alexander.

Footsteps suddenly approached.

Evelyn turned and saw Linda Lowell rush into the room.

Linda first looked at William Ashcroft.

Seeing his weak state, her pupils contracted with heartache.

She walked to William's bedside.

"William, you…"

"Get out."

William's voice was weak but carried an undeniable chill.

Linda awkwardly stepped back two steps.

Then she glared viciously at Evelyn.

She rushed to Evelyn and raised her hand to strike.

"You wretched girl!"

"I heard you caused Isabella to miscarry?"

"The Ashcroft family raised you all these years!"

"Isabella is your mistress! How could you treat her like this?"

"I'll beat you to death!"

Before her slap could land, Evelyn grabbed her wrist and pushed her away forcefully.

Evelyn looked at her coldly.

"Stop trying to control me with that old routine."

"I've grown up, Linda Lowell."

"We have nothing to do with each other anymore!"

"Nothing to do?"

Linda laughed scornfully.

"I'm your mother! How can we have nothing to do with each other?"

"Evelyn Ross, you have my blood flowing in your veins!"

"If you want to sever ties, unless you drain all your blood!"

"You can't do that!"

"If you can't give me your life, you have to obey me!"

"Now, immediately, go apologize to Isabella!"

"Kneel and beg for her forgiveness!"

"If she doesn't forgive you, go remove your uterus yourself as compensation!"

Evelyn stared in shock, her eyes wide.

She almost thought she had misheard.

Though she had long known Linda didn't like her and despised her, she never imagined she could say something so heartless!

Remove her uterus? Just to seek Isabella's forgiveness?

She couldn't help but laugh.

Her smile was bitter, yet with a sense of release.

Yes, her mother had never loved her.

Seeing her unmoved, Linda said sharply, "Did you hear me?"

"I'll schedule the surgery for you right now!"

"You made Isabella lose a child!"

"I'll make you unable to bear children for life as punishment!"

She grabbed Evelyn's arm, trying to drag her out.

Evelyn stood firm, not moving.

Linda turned back angrily.

"Evelyn Ross! How dare you disobey me?"

"Kneel down for me!"

"Kneel down…"

These two words were what Evelyn had heard most often growing up.

Every time Linda was angry, these were the first words she said.

Then she would take out her homemade whip and lash Evelyn fiercely!

Evelyn's eyes turned colder.

"Linda Lowell, I won't listen to you anymore."

"What did you call me?"

"Ungrateful daughter! White trash!"

"I gave birth to you, and this is how you treat me?"

"Evelyn Ross, believe me, I'll call the police right now!"

"I'll sue you for not supporting me!"

"I'll make you go to jail!"

Linda hopped mad with rage.

Her shrill voice echoed through the hallway…

In Isabella's room.

Hearing the faint commotion, Isabella immediately threw off the covers and got out of bed.

"What's wrong with my mom? I'll go see…"

Julian Evans supported her arm.

"I'll go with you."

Isabella paused slightly.

"Okay."

They soon arrived at Mrs. Ashcroft's room door.

As soon as they entered, they heard Linda's howling.

"You beast! Love child! How dare you treat Miss Isabella like this?"

"You have no conscience!"

Isabella spoke immediately.

"Aunt Linda? What are you doing here?"

Hearing her voice, Linda turned and knelt before Isabella with a thud.

"Miss Isabella, it's all Evelyn's fault!"

"I apologize on her behalf!"

"She must be jealous of you and Young Master Evans!"

"That's why she did this!"

"Don't worry, I'll definitely make her give you an explanation!"

Isabella's eyes flickered.

"Aunt Linda, don't say that…"

"After all, she is Father's daughter, my sister…"

"Forget it, I won't pursue it."

Julian immediately said, "Isabella, no! I disagree!"

"She must give an explanation for this!"

Isabella sighed.

"Julian, my mother is still unconscious."

"She usually likes Evelyn."

"I don't want her to be sad when she wakes up and finds out about this…"

Julian was taken aback.

Linda immediately looked at Evelyn.

"Did you hear that?"

"Hurry up and thank Miss Isabella!"

"She is magnanimous and can let something like this go…"

"Kowtow to her right now!"

Evelyn remained motionless and sneered.

"Not bad acting."

Julian was instantly furious.

"Evelyn Ross, that's enough!!"

"Isabella keeps conceding, but all she gets is your pushing further!"

"I knew it! Love children like you are all ungrateful white trash!"

"Your appetite just gets bigger and bigger! utterly shameless!"

"I'm telling you, even if Isabella doesn't pursue it, I will!"

"You killed my child! I'm not done with you!"

"Your child?" Evelyn sneered.

"Wait for the test report to come out, then see if it's really your child!"

Julian scoffed.

"Still stubborn even now!"

Before he finished speaking, Thomas Watson hurried in with the DNA test report.

"Miss Ross, the urgent DNA comparison between the embryo and Julian Evans that Sir requested is done!"

"The results are out!"

Evelyn's peach blossom eyes lifted slightly.

Isabella's pupils constricted sharply!

Wasn't it supposed to take three more hours?!

Why was it early?!
