After all, before knowing that N couldn’t have children, Jordyn wouldn’t have dared to provoke N while pregnant. rk hadn’t exposed Jordyn’s clumsy acting in front of N just now simply because she was carrying his child. That didn’t mean he was a fool.


    Jordyn’s fingers trembled as she bit her lip, tearfully looking at him. “rk, I didn’t mean that…”


    Impatience shed in rk’s eyes. “You better really didn’t.”


    Jordyn bit her lip, sounding disappointed. “Were you… Using me to test Ms. Jayston just now?”


    rk knew she had plotted against N but hadn’t exposed her. She had thought he had feelings for her, but it turned out she had deceived herself.


    rk pinched Jordyn’s chin, his gaze full of disdain. “You’d better straighten yourself out. I like smart women, but being too clever is just stupid.”


    As Jordyn froze, rk released her and walked away.


    Tears fell from Jordyn’s eyes as she watched him leave. Subconsciously, she touched her abdomen. Although she knew she could not beat N now, she had a trump card with this baby.


    One day, she and the child would weigh more than N in rk’s heart. He hadn’t paid any attention to N while they were hospitalized together because she was feeling unwell from the pregnancy.


    As Jordyn thought about it, determination shed in her eyes.


    In another VIP ward on the same hospital floor, Lucia was infuriated upon hearing that N had been discharged. They had both fallen down the stairs, but why had she ended up with multiple fractures, bruises all over, <b>and </b><b>a </b>moderate concussion, while N only had minor scratches and a mild concussion”


    <b>Lucia </b>had initially thought about using N as a shield when they fell, but instead, she had ended <b>up </b>being the one sacrificed for N. The more she dwelled on it, the angrier she became..


    A series of knocks sounded on the door. Irritated, Lucia asked, “Who is it?”


    The door opened, and Keh walked in with a fruit basket and an ingratiating look. “Ms. Pord, I heard you were hospitalized, so I came to see you.”


    Lucia was already annoyed, so her mood worsened at the sight of Keh, “What are you doing here?”


    Even her service staff wouldn’t ept such a shabby fruit basket, let alone her.


    Keh ced the fruit basket down and sat beside the hospital bed. “Ms. Pord, the money you gave mest time is almost gone… My wife’s medical bills…I can’t keep up with them…”


    Lucia frowned coldly. “I gave you 15,000 dors, and you’re telling me you’re out of money in just a few days? Do you think I’m an ATM?”


    Keh, feeling guilty, awkwardly replied, “I thought I shouldn’t always bother you… so I took some to the casino to try my luck. If I had won, I wouldn’t have toe to you again. I didn’t expect my luck to be so bad…”


    Lucia snickered. “What does that have to do with me? Given my rtionship with Mabel, giving you 15,000 dors was already more than generous.”


    Keh scowled as Lucia refused to give him more money. “Ms. Pord, are you nning to cut us off? Don’t forget, Mabel went to jail for helping you. If she hadn’t done so, I wouldn’t have needed toe to you for money.


    “If you cut us off, I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep quiet about what Mabel and I did for you.”


    Lucia’s expression grew cold, and a murderous intent surged in her eyes. A middle–aged man with no background dared to threaten her now.


    Keeping her head down, she suddenly devised a n. If executed correctly, she could deal with both N and Keh.


    She looked up at Keh with a smile.


    “How could I cut you off? It’s just that I don’t have much money myself. But if you’re willing to listen to me, I’ll make sure you get more money than you could ever spend in a lifetime.”
