Marcus Valentine finished signing.

The pen scratched softly against the paper.

He stared at the document.

His fingertips trembled slightly.

Mina Sherwood reached over and took one copy.

She kept her eyes downcast.

She carefully placed the divorce agreement into her bag.

She turned to look out the window.

Mrs. Sherwood watched Marcus's devastated expression.

She sighed inwardly.

The Valentine family was known for their deep passions.

She had always known this.

The Third Master Valentine never married.

His heart belonged to Sophia Ashcroft.

Her own husband had been utterly devoted to her.

Marcus was like this.

Clearly, he had fallen for Mina.

He was even willing to claim the child as his own.

It was a pity...

They simply had no fate together.

Other matters could be tolerated.

But the scandal surrounding this child had spread throughout the city.

To simply accept it...

Mr. Valentine frowned deeply.

He couldn't hold back his reproach. "Mina, the Valentines have treated you well. How could you do such a thing?"

He then turned to Marcus. "And you! If the child isn't yours, why did you save her back then? And end up forced to marry her! Have you lost your mind!"

Mina remained silent.

Marcus pressed his lips together tightly.

A dead silence filled the car.

No one noticed.

Marcus's fists were clenched.

A cold aura radiated from him.

The car arrived at the hospital.

Mr. and Mrs. Valentine had just gotten out.

Marcus slammed the car door shut.

He barked at the driver, "Get out!"

The driver was stunned.

He got out instinctively.

Marcus locked all the doors.

A sharp click echoed.

The windows were sealed from the outside.

His eyes bloodshot, he looked at Mina.

Mina was wary. "What are you doing?"

Marcus's voice was low. "Is the paternity test absolutely necessary?"

Mina was taken aback.

Marcus sneered. "Before, you needed a father for the child's registration, so you found me, the perfect fool. Now you're in a hurry to ditch me. Did the real father come back? Or have you hooked up with him again?"

Mina said urgently, "I haven't—"

Before she could finish.

Marcus kissed her fiercely.

A dark rage surged within Marcus.

Anger made him lose control.

He was about to erupt right here!

Mina pushed him desperately. "Marcus, let go! There are reporters outside—"

Marcus ignored her.

He bit her lip.

Sucking hard.

As if he wanted to devour her whole.

Outside.

Mr. and Mrs. Valentine tried to see inside.

But the windows were tinted.

They couldn't see a thing from outside.

Mrs. Sherwood knocked on the window. "Marcus, what are you doing?"

Marcus didn't respond.

He overpowered Mina.

He wanted to possess her with a near madness.

Mina struggled. "Marcus, we signed the divorce agreement!"

"So what?!"

Marcus's large hand pressed against Mina's abdomen.

He applied slight pressure.

Mina's pupils constricted violently. "Marcus, what are you doing?!"

"Since you're leaving me for this child."

"Then let it disappear."

Marcus increased the pressure of his hand.

Mina was terrified. "Marcus, stop! The child is really yours!"

"Three test reports! All say azoospermia! Are you still lying to me?"

Marcus stared at her intently. "I went to three different hospitals for testing like a complete joke! Mina, I actually believed your nonsense!"

He gritted his teeth. "Didn't you say you liked me? You sounded so sincere talking to the reporters just now. So what's wrong with getting rid of the child for me?"

Tears streamed down Mina's face. "Marcus, you bastard!!"

Marcus scoffed. "Yes, I'm a bastard! I admit it! Mina, I've taken a liking to you, so this child cannot stay! I won't be soft-hearted today!"

Feeling the increased pressure from his hand.

Mina cried out in despair. "Marcus, no... the child is really yours..."

"Stop trying to哄 me... I know you're waiting for Grace and Alexander to save you, but they won't make it in time..."

Marcus used his body to pin her legs down.

He pulled a white pill from his pocket. "I asked the doctor. Taking this won't be painful. The child will come down quickly. Mina, without this child, we'll have no ties left. If you like children, we can adopt later. If you really want to give birth, we can choose优质基因 from a sperm bank too."

"But this bastard child, no way!"

Marcus forced Mina's mouth open.

He shoved the pill inside.

Mina desperately tried to spit it out.

Marcus covered her mouth.

The pill slid down her throat.

She couldn't spit it out at all.

She looked绝望ly at the crazed Marcus.

Her hands pounded against him.

She made muffled pleas for mercy.

It was useless.

Marcus was determined.

He wouldn't let go.

After what felt like an eternity.

The pill was finally swallowed.

Marcus released his hand.

Mina immediately pushed him away.

She reached into her throat.

But it was too late.

Everything was too late.

Tears poured down.

Her face was full of despair.

Her whole body trembled.

A dull ache spread through her lower abdomen.

Mina cried out in anguish, "Marcus, you will regret this!"

"I won't."

Marcus looked at her firmly. "I'd rather you hate me for a lifetime than let you go!"

Mina clenched her fists. "Can we do the paternity test now?"
