Chapter 177 I Am Your Father!
"What?"
Glenn froze.
When Thea heard this, panic washed over her.
She stared at Bianca in disbelief—how could she know?
Glenn seemed to suddenly realize something. He immediately grabbed his phone and placed a call. After getting feedback from the other end, he turned and left without sparing Thea a glance.
Thea stood frozen in place, hearing Bianca say mockingly in a low voice,
"Thea, if you leave now, maybe my father won't catch you. Otherwise... you know my father's temper—he'll definitely teach you a lesson."
After they left, Bianca stretched.
Dealing with those two was really exhausting.
"Bianca, I've already privately bought back all the shares that Thea sold off."
Terrence stated the facts directly, leaving the choice to Bianca.
But Bianca reached out her small hand from beneath the covers and beckoned to Terrence with her finger. As soon as Terrence got close, her hand slid under his shirt, skillfully finding the neat muscle lines on his abs.
Terrence's body stiffened, heat flaring in his eyes.
"Bianca, your body hasn't fully recovered yet. You're playing with fire."
Bianca raised her eyebrows slightly.
"My body is pretty much better. Don't you... want to?"
Terrence suddenly stood up, his gaze locked on her, a faint smile tugging at his lips.
"Bianca..." An intimate atmosphere slowly filled the air as Terrence's eyes remained fixed on her.
"The test results are in, Mr. Anderson..."
Barry walked in holding the test report, just in time to see them very close together.
His expression instantly turned amused.
Did he just accidentally ruin things?
Barry coughed awkwardly but still gathered the courage to hand over the report.
"Mrs. Anderson is pregnant."
As soon as the words left his mouth, both Terrence and Bianca froze, their earlier irritation at being interrupted instantly vanishing.
Bianca immediately pushed Terrence away and took the report from Barry. After seeing the words clearly, her hand trembled slightly as she pressed it against her abdomen.
This child.
It was her and Terrence's child.
"Terrence, we're having a baby." She grabbed his hand.
Terrence said seriously, "I'll arrange the wedding right away!"
They had already gotten their marriage certificate, but the wedding had to happen before the baby was born. His woman would not suffer any grievances.
Bianca naturally had no objections. They were already husband and wife; they just needed to hold a ceremony.
Terrence immediately instructed Barry to make arrangements.
Fortunately, Barry already had a plan and got to work on the wedding right away.
After Barry left, Terrence reached out to hold Bianca, but she pushed him away with a slap.
Terrence pressed his lips together, somewhat displeased. "Bianca."
"I'm carrying a baby! Don't affect the baby."
Terrence was even more unhappy.
As soon as the child appeared, his position in Bianca's heart seemed to drop even lower.
Bianca's thoughts were entirely on the baby. Her palm was pressed against her abdomen, as if she could feel a faint heartbeat inside.
After Jasmine returned to her dorm, she was clearly in bad shape, sitting in her chair, looking at her phone, and sighing from time to time.
She knew Donny.
Although they hadn't seen each other for a while, Jasmine recognized him at first sight.
But she was too ordinary. Donny probably didn't recognize her, which wasn't surprising. Donny was good-looking with a great family background—such an excellent person, why would he remember her?
Still, there was a girlish flutter in her heart.
Jasmine thought about it and finally decided not to dwell on it anymore.
Bianca had said that Donny already had a fiancée, so it was better to keep her distance to avoid accidentally becoming the other woman.
So when she received a call from an unknown number with someone claiming to be Donny, Jasmine hung up almost without hesitation.
Of course, her hand moved faster than her brain.
Only her rapid breathing filled the dorm room.
On the day Bianca was discharged from the hospital, Glenn called through clenched teeth.
"Bianca, why are most of the company shares in your hands?"
"Just had money to spare, bought them when I saw them. What other reason could there be?"
Bianca's answer made Glenn furious.
"You—"
"Mr. Rodriguez." Bianca cut off his anger.
"Now I should be the largest shareholder of the Rodriguez Group, so I might have to trouble Mr. Rodriguez to sort things out and give up your position."
"Bianca, you're dreaming!"
Glenn roared.
"Whether I'm dreaming or not, you know deep down."
After Glenn hung up, he immediately called Thea, but it showed her phone was off. His expression grew even more tense.
Three days later, Thea was brought back to the Rodriguez Mansion. Glenn fixed his gaze on her.
"Thea, you're ruthless enough—selling off all the company shares!"
Thea looked at him and said coldly, "Can you blame me? Glenn, in all our years of marriage, have you ever thought about leaving me any way out?"
"Didn't leave you a way out?" Glenn's expression darkened. He suddenly struck her repeatedly. Before Thea could react, her scalp burned with pain—Glenn seized her hair and shoved her into the servants' quarters.
The servants' quarters had no windows. Glenn closed the door, and the moment he turned on the light, Thea had no way to escape and could only watch him approach.
Thea gritted her teeth. "Glenn, what do you want!"
"You let all the shares fall into Bianca's hands, and you're asking me what I want? Thea, I really regret marrying you. A mistress never deserves to be a wife, and the daughter you raised is useless, too!"
Glenn struck her several more times. Thea tried to dodge but had nowhere to go, tried to fight back but had no advantage in strength.
Her once well-maintained face became red and swollen, completely losing its polished appearance.
Looking at Glenn, Thea nearly broke down.
"What gives you the right! What gives you the right to hit me like this!"
Her resistance was almost ineffective.
For the next few days, Thea couldn't leave the room. Glenn didn't even send food or water. After a long time, she lay on the bed like a lifeless creature, without even the strength to get up.
Meanwhile, Bianca finally arrived at the Rodriguez Group as the largest shareholder, demanding that Glenn step down.
Glenn naturally wouldn't give up easily.
"Bianca, I'm your father. Aren't you afraid of karma for doing this!"
