So, did he have to thank her for this "honor"?
Even after being humiliated like this, Teagan didn't turn around and storm off.
Jane, of course, knew the purpose of his visit. She straightforwardly stated her demand.
Very simple, she wanted Teagan and Nora to break off the engagement.
Upon hearing this, Teagan's heart leapt with joy. He believed that the woman still had feelings for him.
As long as that was the case, he could regain his shares. So, he readily agreed to Jane's request, grasping her hand with deep affection, saying, "It's not a problem, Jane, trust me. Nora had a miscarriage, and from now on, I won't see her again. We will have our own child as well."
A child?
Internally, Jane ridiculed his unfounded confidence.
She had already undergone a sterilization procedure; it was impossible for her to become pregnant. And even if he wanted a child, it wouldn't be his.
"Alright, I'll wait for you to break off the engagement with Nora first," she said.
"I have some matters to attend to, so you can leave first."
Before she finished speaking, Jane heartlessly issued an eviction order, driving Teagan out of her office.
Teagan took a deep breath, trying hard not to get angry, but his tightly clenched fist betrayed his true emotions.
Veins bulged on the back of his hand, thick and sinewy, with muscles knotted.
"Alright, Jane, just wait for me. Tomorrow morning, I'll show you my actions and determination."
Outside the door, an annoying male voice came, but Jane paid no attention, lowering her head to focus on the documents and immersing herself in work.
Hospital.
The glaring lights formed a white halo in front of Nora's eyes and kept expanding.
Nora was awakened by a loud and piercing conversation in her ears.
The loud and sharp voice was unmistakably her mother, Malaya. "Look at this child, what has she become now? It's all your fault, insisting on the marriage alliance with the Parry family!"
George held a cigarette in his mouth and spoke in a low and muffled voice, weakly saying, "Who knew the Parry family would suddenly go bankrupt? It's fortunate that I sold the shares quickly this time; otherwise, the Lawrence family would also suffer."
"And you still have the nerve to speak! You suddenly sold the shares, making it difficult for us to actively propose breaking off the engagement. Nora had a miscarriage now, and Teagan is using this as leverage, refusing to compensate us."
"He can't evade giving compensation since the child is his. By the way, I heard that his ex-girlfriend Jane had hooked up with Master Vincent, I don't know if it's true or not."
Upon hearing this, Malaya became interested, her eyes brightening.
"Where did you hear this news? Is it reliable?"
George furrowed his eyebrows. He didn't know, but... Jane indeed bought 90% of the Parry Group's shares.
While the two argued, Sean on the side squinted his eyes and yawned.
His college entrance exams were over, and he had a three-month vacation. Every day, he stayed up late playing games and slept heavily during the day.
Dark circles had formed under his eyes, deepening the eye sockets.
He looked utterly listless, resembling those drug addicts.
He didn't show any interest in his parents' bickering until his gaze fell on the woman lying unconscious on the hospital bed, making him freeze for a second.
A soft sigh escaped his lips.
