The Headline Queen: President Hawthorne is Her Die-Hard Fan!

Chapter 483: The Child for You

"I know you can’t have children because of a previous abortion. I can give birth to this child for you, as long as you promise to treat him well and consider him your own."Sarah Sutton was well aware that with her circumstances, she couldn’t possibly provide a better future for this child.

But it would be different with Paige Sterling; Paige was so wealthy that not only could she give this child the best of everything, but eventually everything Paige had would belong to this child.

Moreover, Paige loved Julian Hawthorne so much, and since she herself couldn’t have children, she would surely treat this child as her own.

She could agree to let Paige raise the child, and when the child grew up, she’d secretly tell him the truth. Would the child deny her, his biological mother?

At that time, she could let him find a good nursing home for Paige as thanks for raising him, and that would be enough repayment.

Sarah thought she had devised a brilliant plan. She stared at Paige, "Miss Sterling, the doctor said this child is a boy. He will inherit your legacy, share your burdens, and be filial to you..."

Who the heck can tell if it’s a boy or a girl in just two months?

And what kind of hospital is so daring to tell a pregnant woman the child’s gender?

Especially seeing Sarah’s face full of pity as if she was doing Paige a favor, Paige couldn’t help but twitch her lips.

Why did everyone assume she couldn’t have children and speak to her in such a sympathetic tone?

She really wasn’t that pitiful.

Paige placed her hand on the steering wheel and said, "Whether I can have children or not, I don’t care for other people’s kids and won’t raise them. Do you understand, Miss Sutton?"

Sarah frowned, thinking Paige was being unreasonable. What kind of wife behaves like this?

"Miss Sterling, this isn’t someone else’s child; it’s President Hawthorne’s! Now that he’s in trouble, can’t you even take in his flesh and blood?"

Paige laughed, "I haven’t done anything to your child, so how am I not taking him in?"

Sarah pressed on, "Then why don’t you want to raise him? You know my situation; the child with me would suffer, barely survive, while you, with so much money, raising a child is just incidental!"

"It’s my business that I have money. What does it have to do with you? Why should I raise your child? If you can’t afford a child, you shouldn’t have one. You want to have a child and then throw it to someone else to raise. Are you shameless?"

Sarah’s face turned red, and tears welled up, "How can you say that? Which mother doesn’t love her child? If I weren’t desperate, would I give my own child to someone else to raise? Miss Sterling, please have some mercy on me. If I had another way, I wouldn’t trouble you..."

Paige remained indifferent, "You can choose not to have the child."

Sarah, "No way, this is Mr. Hawthorne’s child. I can’t give him up. Mr. Hawthorne would be disappointed if he knew!"

Paige wanted to roll her eyes, wondering how there could be such a fool in the world.

"Suit yourself. The child is yours. Whether you want to have it or not is your decision. Don’t bother me. I have no interest in raising someone else’s child."

With that, Paige ignored her and prepared to close the car window.

If Sarah didn’t remove her hand, it would get caught, and Paige clearly didn’t care.

Sarah looked anxious, "Miss Sterling, Miss Sterling, don’t be like this, the child is innocent..."

Paige, "..." Heh.

Sarah watched as Paige drove into the Sterling Family home, feeling dissatisfied.

But she didn’t dare make too much of a scene here. If Nanny Sutton saw and called her family, it would be bad.

Finally having a chance to leap up the social ladder, Sarah didn’t want to give up so easily.

Even though Julian Hawthorne was caught, so what? The child in her belly was a Hawthorne child, that was a fact.

Since Paige wouldn’t help her, she’d go to the Hawthorne Family. She couldn’t believe they’d let their descendant wander outside.

Sarah didn’t know where the Hawthorne Family was, so she could only wait at the Hawthorne Group, where she eventually encountered Simon Hawthorne.

She blocked Simon’s path and said the child was Julian’s, hoping Simon would give her a place to stay to have the child.

At that time, Simon was with a few other company presidents, about to go for dinner, and Sarah’s sudden statement made Simon feel the other’s gazes turn meaningful.

Now Simon knew that his eldest brother wasn’t his biological brother, and naturally understood that the woman claiming to carry Julian’s child was definitely not.

But others wouldn’t think so, given Julian’s notorious reputation now.

He looked sullenly at the woman, "I don’t know whose child you’re carrying, but it’s definitely not a Hawthorne. I advise you to watch your mouth and not spread nonsense."

Then he ignored Sarah.

Sarah couldn’t believe the Hawthorne Family would also treat her like this.

Was it really true that when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter? Now that Julian was caught, were they all abandoning him?

How could these people be so heartless?

With no help, Sarah suddenly remembered a family ethics show she often watched at home with her parents.

This show thrived on bizarre events as gimmicks—things like mistresses moving in, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflicts, abandoned daughters clashing with their parents. The plots were as melodramatic and world-shattering as they could be.

The show would invite the people involved onto the stage for conflict resolution.

However, no matter how deep the hatred beforehand, after the show’s mediation, both sides would shake hands and happily become a family.

Mistress and legitimate wife? Doesn’t exist. After mediation, we’re one family. Why trouble other women? Mistresses are pitiful too; the wife should understand.

Mother-in-law conflict? Tough mother-in-law? Doesn’t exist. How hard the mother-in-law worked to raise her son! As a daughter-in-law, how can you complain? You should willingly give with no regrets, treating the mother-in-law as your own and repaying her effort in raising her son, no matter her temper.

Abandoned daughter unwilling to support parents? Doesn’t exist. It was so hard for the mother to give birth to you! The greatest thing in the world is motherly love. A mother had no choice but to abandon you; how can you resent her or refuse to support them? Parents are never wrong; you should forgive, provide for them, and even buy your brother a house and car. That’s a good daughter...

Despite ruining worldviews, it was loved by the middle-aged and elderly. Regardless of complaints from younger audiences, the show remained popular, corrupting minds.

Sarah thought that if she could expose this to the show and let them know the child was Julian’s, then the Hawthorne Family and Paige would surely come forward, right? With the show’s mediation, one party would surely agree to take in the child.

After all, she’d seen the show’s mediation skills — no matter the conflict beforehand, they’d end up shaking hands.

Sarah felt hopeful and went to the TV station to contact the show.

Initially uninterested, the show immediately picked up on a business opportunity upon learning her child was Julian’s.

Julian Hawthorne was already criticized as a scumbag online; if the show exposed that he had an illegitimate child, it would become viral.
