Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 356

Petra was deep in her memories when the smile on her face disappeared. “His parents thought that I, with my puny, ordinary background, was not even worthy enough to shine his shoes. Marrying him was totally out of the equation. But I refused to submit. I was like a fool, declaring majestic words and flowery promises before them. We were like fools telling them how in love we were with each other, how we could not live without each other, yet they didn’t care. Alas, he couldn't stand the pressure from his parents, and he relented."

When she reached that part of her speech, her eyes were red. I looked at her coldly, and I did not say anything.

Petra sniffled. "I was so mad I left him and went overseas. I wanted to build my own career to prove to his parents that what I had said was not just a bunch o f glorified lies, and I also wanted him to regret relenting to his parent's wishes. At the time, I didn't know I was pregnant. When I found out, I contemplated whether I should proceed with an abortion, but I decided against it. I loved him, so I couldn’t bear to abort our baby. Do you know how hard it was for a pregnant woman to survive overseas?” "I remember your loss of the baby happened locally,

President White." I chimed in apathetically.

Petra nodded. "I wanted to build a successful career, s o I couldn't take care of the child. I sent her back, hoping he would take care of her for the time being. What I didn't expect was for his parents to be so cruel. They threw her away. By the time I found out, it was too late. I couldn't find her. I couldn't find her for ten whole years."

I saw how in pain she was, and I gritted my teeth. "It seems like President White understands the importance of a baby to their mother. So, how could you be so cruel and let my baby die, President White?"

"Compared to your baby, my baby's more important." Petra's expressions were no longer kind. "I swore that i f I could get Cindy back, I would give her whatever she wanted, no matter the price I had to pay. Wanda Lane, I gave you a chance. As long as you left Theo Grant, I would spare your child.”

"Looks like you're admitting to being guilty." I barked coldly as I tried to suppress the flames of rage that were fanning in my heart.

I knew she was one of the murderers, and there was a possibility she was the mastermind behind the entire thing.

Petra cocked her eyebrows. "Does it matter if I admit t o it or not?"

"You're really as cruel as your daughter. Though in stricter words, it should be that your daughter has perfectly inherited your cruelty. That’s a vibrant life right there. How could you feel no remorse even after taking his life, so much so that you still think it’s my fault, that my decision was the cause of his death?” M y hands were tightly balled into fists, my fingernails digging deep into my flesh. "Petra White, aren't you afraid of karma? Aren't you worried that karma will turn around and bite Cindy in the *ss, especially targeting that baby she's carrying in her belly right now?"

How selfish and despicable could she be to exclaim words like 'the victim was at fault'? I had finally learned the true colors of this woman named Petra White. The suffering she had gone through, the pain Cindy had gone through, how had that become the reason and the excuse for her to hurt others?

"I have never believed in karma.” Petra sneered." You'd better know your place and not play any little tricks, or I'll squash you as easily as I can squash an ant."

"How powerful of you, President White.” I was so angry I laughed. "In your eyes, human life is as worthless as a blank piece of paper. So, if you want m y life, go ahead and take it. The only reason I’m alive is to avenge him. You should be well aware of the extent of madness a mother will go to for their child, President White. So, let’s wait and see how many layers of flesh I can bite off of you for my baby."

"You can brag pretty well, I see.” Petra’s face was filled with disdain. "Why don’t you weigh up how much you're really worth?" “I'm not worth anything," I smirked. "Your daughter has you as her support, and you have your man as your support. Naturally, I have my support too.

Unfortunately, my support seems to be a lot stronger than yours, so to each their own special abilities.”

Petra’s nose was in the air as she haughtily lifted her chin, "dust Carlson and Yvonne Schuman?”

This woman had been so arrogant for so long that she really thought she was the most powerful being under the sun.
