Chapter 863: Give Birth to the Child, and This Building Is Yours
"Have a glass of warm water." Hailey Hale poured a glass of water, "Do you need me to help you up?"Melissa Merce didn’t want to accept the kindness, but she was too thirsty, so she propped herself up to sit.
Zachary Merce and Claudia stood outside the glass window watching this scene, feeling somewhat touched inside.
Hailey tried to stay optimistic and asked with a smile, "Hey, want to be friends?"
"Who wants to be friends with you?" Melissa glared at her, "A weasel wishing the chicken a Happy New Year definitely has bad intentions."
"You’re really a pretty chicken." Hailey said without getting angry, "Even with a bandage on your head, you’re still beautiful."
Melissa was both angry and annoyed, not wanting to pay her any attention at all.
After leaving the detention center, Monica Usher was taken by Lydia Ingram to a brand-new luxurious mansion, its splendor secretly amazed her, and it was newly renovated.
"Give birth to the child, and this building will be yours."
In the spacious living room, Lydia Ingram sat on a custom-made sofa, legs crossed, with a clear attitude, "I want this child, and you must deliver it."
An unyielding tone that didn’t accept objections or negotiations, it greatly irked Monica Usher.
She focused her gaze on him, feeling a bit upset, just as she was about to say something, she heard footsteps coming from behind and turned her eyes.
She saw seven or eight maids coming down a spiral staircase, each not young, about forty to fifty years old, and they didn’t look kind, reminiscent of a sinister nanny.
Lydia Ingram sat on the sofa, his gaze unwaveringly fixed on her.
"Hello, President Ingram, everything upstairs is tidied up." The servants said in unison, "If Mrs. Ingram needs anything, you can instruct us, we will serve you wholeheartedly for these ten months."
Meeting Lydia Ingram’s determined and cold gaze, Monica Usher suddenly realized, she was being kept.
Even if she wanted to get rid of the child, there was no chance, was there?
To prove what she thought, Monica Usher took a step towards the door.
As she reached the entrance, a few old maids blocked her way, "What’s Mrs. Ingram planning to do? Just tell us what you need." They were all fierce and threatening.
"Mrs. Ingram, hasn’t Mr. Ingram explained it to you?" Another one spoke, "You cannot leave here before the child is born."
Monica Usher turned her eyes to meet Lydia Ingram’s gaze, "What do you mean? Do you know your actions are illegal?"
"I’ve done more illegal things than you can imagine, it’s normal for me." Lydia Ingram chuckled, "It’s not easy for you to carry a child, I’ve reached an age where I hope to have an heir to inherit."
"Don’t manipulate my emotions." Monica Usher’s eyes turned cold.
"I’ve had my fun in my youth, now I want stability, if you’re willing to marry me, I’ll arrange the wedding immediately." Lydia Ingram said without any humor.
Monica Usher looked at him coldly and weakly, lifted her steps, and headed upstairs.
The man she loved was Justin Kingston, how could she marry this old fox Lydia Ingram?
She wanted the child, but she would never give it to him! For these ten months, she would stay well-fed and well-treated!
As long as Monica Usher didn’t leave the house, no one would stop her, the entire mansion would eventually be hers, so she went upstairs to rest, it was her freedom.
Lydia Ingram was very busy, he got up and instructed, "Even if she dies, make sure she dies here, understood?"
"Rest assured, President Ingram, we won’t let her leave a single step."
At the Kingston Group, inside the elegant and luxurious CEO’s office.
"CEO Kingston, Lydia Ingram has taken Monica Usher into a private mansion on Sycamore Road, which according to our investigation is his latest property purchase, and he hired eight nannies from a postpartum care center for round-the-clock care, I’ve placed someone inside."
A man stood beside the desk reporting.
Justin Kingston looked up at him, "Make sure she’s careful, don’t expose her identity, we may not find the information we need on Monica Usher, considering Lydia Ingram is overly cunning."
"Just keep monitoring, just in case anything happens."
"Alright."
In Veridia, in a hospital ward.
Melissa Merce sat at the head of the bed, eating the breakfast Finn Morgan bought, feeling very sweet inside, "When can I be discharged?"
With so many people around her, she felt very uncomfortable, "Finn Morgan can stay, the rest of you can go back."
