Chapter 19: The Threat Perhaps
Zac knew that he was the father, but he really didn't want the child.
Either way, Patricia had never asked him to take responsibility for it! She just wanted to bring up the baby on her own.
Why did he so badly want to deprive her of her only chance at happiness? Did he have to be so cruel to her? Tears welled up in her eyes, but she bit her red lips tightly to keep them from falling.
The love for Zac that she had hidden in her heart since she was a child was slowly beginning to waver.
Zac walked up to Patricia and stared at her coldly.
When he noticed the tears in her eyes, his heart softened a little, and he felt a hint of pity.
But he quickly ignored it.
The child in her womb was nothing but proof of him being cuckolded.
He had to deal with it no matter what.
"Why are you looking at me like that? You're the one who dared to do such a dirty thing.You should have known that you'll have to face the consequences one day! Since you can't avoid your fate, don't waste your time anymore.Go to the hospital with me and have an abortion.If you do as I say, I can consider fulfilling your request just now, he said coolly, ignoring the pain in her eyes.
Hearing these words, Patricia felt like she was being pushed into the abyss of hell without any mercy.
Was he asking her to trade her child's life for her own peace of mind in the future? She had never expected this man to be so cold- blooded! How could he hurt his own child? Hatred slowly took root in her heart and grew with despair.
Zac took her silence to mean that she agreed with him, so he reached out to pull her.
"Since you have no objection, let's go now!"
But Patricia subconsciously dodged his hand and protectively placed her hands on her belly.
A touch of self-mockery appeared on her pale face.
"Zac, we are divorced.The baby in my belly has nothing to do with you now.Why do you keep asking me to have an abortion? Let me tell you this, even if you are in charge of the world, you can never be in charge of me.I won't listen to you even if I die!"
As she spoke, she stretched out her hands to push him away.
It was not until then that she realized how stupid she had been to come here to confront Zac today.
A selfish and cold-blooded man like him would obviously never care about the lives of others! However, Zac stood still as if his feet were rooted to the spot.
No matter how hard Patricia pushed him, he didn't budge at all.
Fear seeped into Patricia's veins again.
She knew for sure that she had made a mistake coming here.
Now, all she wanted to do was somehow leave.
And she really wanted to protect her baby! If Zac insisted on making her life hell, she was even willing to leave her home and her mother behind, and live a quiet life with her child in some remote corner of the world.
Zac lowered his head and looked at Patricia, who only came up to his shoulders.
The fact that this tiny woman was trying to push him away made his anger soar instantly.
She had never dared to breathe a word in front of him, let alone argue with him, in the past three years.
But now, she even dared to resist him because of the baby in her belly.
She had gotten so bold! He really needed to teach her a lesson and put her back in her place.
With that thought, Zac suddenly grabbed her wrist and dragged her to the door.
Patricia's heart leapt to her throat.
She knew what this man was going to do.
"No, no! I won't go!"
Shaking her head with fearful tears in her eyes, Patricia tried her best to stand her ground and get rid of his hand.
But how could she possibly be a match for the tall and powerful man? Despite all her efforts, she was dragged all the way to his Bugatti Veyron.
Zac opened the door and rudely pushed her into the front passenger seat.
In a fit of panic, she jumped up and accidentally banged her head on the roof of the car.
But she was so bent on escaping that she didn't even notice the pain.
Right after Zac closed the door and walked around the car to get into the driver's seat, Patricia quickly opened the door again, jumped out of the car, and ran towards the gate of the Oakleaf Villa.
However, she hadn't even run five meters when she heard Zac's cold voice behind her.
"If the Sampson family loses all its assets, don't you think your grandfather will rise from his grave just to scold you for being an unfilial descendant of the Sampson family? Besides, the Lowell family's assets will also vanish into thin air, and your mother will be kicked out because of you! But if you're not afraid of all these things, just go.
You know, I have no qualms about taking over the business of my ex-wife's stepfather, let alone the business of her own family.
Actually, I've been interested in the Sampson family's business for a long time.
Of course, I will tell both families why I'm doing all this.
What will they think if they come to know about what you did?"
These words stopped Patricia cold in her tracks.
She slowly turned around with her face covered in tears.
Her trembling lips parted to speak, but in the end, she said nothing.
Feeling ‘utterly defeated, she walked step by step towards the Bugatti Veyron and the man that she wished she never had to see again.
Every step was as painful as walking on needles.
The despair drowned her in an instant until she was buried deeply.
She desperately wanted to find a life-saving straw, but she knew that at this moment, her only escape was to take her own life.
Seeing that she came back obediently, Zac was satisfied, and a smug smile appeared on his face.
He knew that threatening her like this would definitely work.
She could give up the assets that he had offered her, but she could never give up the assets of her dead grandfather and her weak mother! Zac knew her weak spots.
Her grandfather's death was a scar in Patricia's heart that she never wanted to mention.
It was what made the Sampson family hate her this much.
It could never be healed or touched.
The moment it was touched, she felt like she was being torn apart alive.
Moreover, if her poor mother was really kicked out of the Lowell family, Patricia would forever feel guilty for it.
When she was a child, she had been an unfilial granddaughter for straying from her grandfather's side and not saving him in time.
She was also an unfilial daughter for not taking care of her mother well.
Now, if the assets of the Sampson family and the Lowell family were both seized because of her, wouldn't she be the biggest villain in the world? ' Although the car was only a few steps away, Patricia felt as if she had walked for a century.
The Bugatti Veyron was like a devil's claw that pulled her into hell, and behind the devil's claw stood a person that she wanted to resist but did not have the strength to.

she said softly as she opened the car door.
Her shoulders were drooped, and her body looked lifeless all of a sudden.
Even though fresh tears kept springing to her eyes, she stubbornly chose to hold them back.
Since it was impossible to change her fate, she would just let it be.
But she swore to herself that one day, she would definitely make Zac regret what he did to her today!
