Tears fell from Mina's eyes in large drops.

"No, Marcus, I beg you..."

"I won't soften my heart this time."

Marcus's voice was cold and hard.

He gripped Mina's wrist with one hand.

With his other hand, he gently stroked her hair.

"The child is gone, and the rumors will naturally die down."

"We will live a good life from now on..."

"Marcus! No!!"

Mina struggled desperately, her voice hoarse.

"I beg you! Don't do this!"

Marcus said nothing more.

He directly dragged her towards the guest bedroom.

In the living room, Ethan, Charles, and Penelope stood frozen.

All three looked in the direction they had left, their faces full of shock.

Penelope glanced at Ethan and coughed lightly.

"Third Brother, is the child really not Big Brother's?"

Ethan looked troubled, hesitating to speak.

He had never been good at hiding his thoughts.

Penelope understood.

Her guess was indeed correct.

Charles couldn't help but speak.

"Has Big Brother become suspicious?"

"Was he tricked by Mina?"

Ethan snorted coldly.

"She was improper before marriage."

"I really don't understand why Big Brother married such a woman."

"And Third Uncle, he..."

"What about Third Uncle?"

Third Master's voice suddenly sounded.

Ethan immediately stiffened.

He slowly turned around, forcing a flattering smile.

"Third Uncle, you are wise and mighty, elegant and graceful!"

Third Master frowned.

"Stop the flattery."

He looked upstairs.

"Where are your Big Brother and sister-in-law?"

Ethan was stunned, his eyes darting towards the guest room.

Third Master frowned.

"What's going on?"

Ethan coughed lightly.

"Big Brother and sister-in-law are in the guest room."

"What are they doing in the guest room?"

Third Master spoke as he walked towards the guest room.

Penelope hurriedly stopped him.

"Third Uncle, the newlyweds are having some private talk."

"We better not disturb them."

Third Master nodded and sat down on the sofa.

Soon after, Marcus's parents arrived.

Third Master greeted them.

"Big Brother, sister-in-law."

Marcus's father was very polite to his third brother.

He smiled and nodded, then looked around.

"Where is Chimo? Why hasn't he come yet?"

"This child is so unreasonable, actually making Third Uncle wait for him?"

Marcus's mother quickly explained to Third Master.

"He must have been delayed by something."

Third Master waved his hand, signaling for them to sit down.

Penelope's gaze remained fixed on the guest room direction.

Mina married into the family by relying on the child.

If the child was gone, her uncle and aunt would never tolerate her!

They had dared to challenge her before the marriage.

Now let Mina taste the feeling of being isolated and helpless!

A nanny brought over a bowl of medicine.

A strong bitter smell filled the living room.

Third Master, Marcus's father, and mother all saw the nanny carrying the medicine towards the guest room.

Marcus's mother stood up nervously.

"What medicine is this?"

"Is Minmin unwell?"

"She is pregnant and can't take medicine randomly!"

She stood up to leave but was pulled back by Penelope.

"Aunt, there is something I didn't want to say, but now I have to."

She took out her phone and handed a document to Marcus's mother.

Marcus's mother glanced at it and immediately pushed it away.

"What filthy thing!"

"Penelope, where did you get this at such a young age?"

Penelope looked embarrassed, then straightened her expression.

"This is circulating in our circle."

"It's about sister-in-law!"

Marcus's mother was stunned.

"What?"

Penelope glanced at Ethan.

"Everyone says this was written by Justin."

"He admitted personally that he had a one-night stand with sister-in-law over two months ago."

"Big Brother heard this and dragged sister-in-law to the guest room."

"He had the nanny bring abortion medicine..."

Penelope pretended to be worried.

"Aunt, even if sister-in-law really had something with Justin, it was a mistake before marriage."

"Isn't Big Brother being too harsh?"

Ethan couldn't help but speak.

"How is Big Brother being too harsh?"

"She married in pregnant with another man's child, making Big Brother a cuckold."

"Just getting rid of the child is already being polite!"

Penelope pretended to be surprised.

"Third Brother, what do you mean by that?"

"Is the child really not Big Brother's?"

Marcus's mother, who was about to rush over, stopped in her tracks.

She looked at Ethan.

Ethan choked, unable to speak for a long time.

Finally, he said, "Yes, it's not."

"Big Brother is doing the right thing. He should do this!"

"To avoid damaging the family's reputation!"

Penelope pressed further.

"How do you know it's not?"

Ethan kept his mouth shut this time.

"Anyway, I know. Don't ask how I know!"

Marcus's father and mother exchanged a look, their eyes full of worry.

If the child really wasn't Marcus's, should they still stop it?

...

In the guest room.

Marcus trapped Mina on the sofa, staring at her intently.

His eyes were bloodshot.

Mina was still begging.

"Marcus, no, this child is really yours!"

Marcus found it utterly ironic.

He had believed Mina's lies, which was why he kept going to the hospital for checks.

But every result came back as oligospermia...

It couldn't be that three hospitals were all lying to him!

The one lying to him could only be Mina.

He watched Mina begging bitterly.

Suddenly, he grabbed her neck.

"Mina, shut up! I won't believe you again!"

Mina's voice cut off abruptly.

Her eyes were red, tears welling as she looked at Marcus.

Marcus leaned in closer.

"Minmin, get rid of the child."

"Behave properly from now on, and I will treat you well..."

Mina closed her eyes in pain.

Two clear tears streamed down.

She lowered her head in resignation.

At that moment, the guest room door was kicked open with a bang!!
