Mathangi zalled he secretary into the office and said enidly, “Contact Steven and have him prepare to attack Nata”


    The secretary, Troy Cantril noticed the cracked scree of his phone on the floor and replied,” Understood, Mi Preston. I’ll handle it right away


    He picked up the phone, left the office, and immediately ordered a new one to be delivered.


    When Steven received the call, he was at a prenatal check–up with his girlfriend.


    Learning that he needed to attack N, he hesitated. After all, Nathaniel had only instructed him to scare N, not to harm het.


    Noticing Steven’s hesitation, Troy said coldly, “Mr. Abney, do you think that money was easy toe by<i>?</i><i>” </i>


    When Nathaniel first approached Steven, he was struggling to meet a request for 80,000 dors from his girlfriend’s parents. They had threatened to force her to have an abortion if he couldn’te up with the


    money


    Nathaniel had found and given him 150,000 dors to track and harass N. Nathaniel had also


    disclosed that N was the daughter of the owner of Harris Pharmaceuticals, whose ident had killed his grandfather, making her an enemy.


    In reality, Steven knew N wasn’t responsible for the <b>ident</b>. After the incident, Harris Pharmaceuticals went bankrupt but providedpensation.


    For the sake of <b>his </b>child, however, he <b>had </b>reluctantly agreed to the <b>task</b>.


    Now, being asked to attack N<b>, </b>he deeply regretted having been so foolish.


    “Mr. Cantrill, this is <b>a </b>crime. I’ll return the money. I’m not doing this anymore,” Steven said.


    Troy sneered. “You think that money was easy to get? If you back out now, you’ll only have yourself to me if anything happens to your girlfriend or the baby”


    Steven’s face darkened “Are you threatening me?”


    “All I can say is that <b>you </b><b>have </b>too many weaknesses. From the moment you epted that <b>card</b>, you had no choice. Choose between N and your girlfriend and child,” Troy said.


    With that, Troy hung up. It was clear that <b>choosing </b>between an <b>insignificant </b>woman and his girlfriend and child was an easy decision, even for a fool.


    Steven was furious, his calloused hands nearly crushing his phone. If he could turn back time, he would never have taken that card!


    “Steven, here’s thetest ultrasound. Look, these are the baby’s hands and feet. So cute,” Cam Swan, his girlfriend, said, presenting the check–up report.


    Steven nced at the report, his eyes reddening with tears.


    Noticing his distress, Cam couldn’t resist teasing, “What’s wrong? Why are you crying? Shouldn’t you be


    happy?


    “In two months, our baby will be born. After the wedding. I’ll give you the money I’ve been secretly saving. We can move into a rented ce and start our life as a family of three. By the way, where did you get all that money my parents requested?”


    Steven forced a smile. “I told you before, my grandfather died in an ident at work, and that money was from thepensation.”


    Guilt softened Cam’s gaze. She took his hand and said softly, “I’m sorry. After we get married, I’ll work hard too. We’ll earn that money back sooner orter.”


    “Yeah, let’s go,” Steven replied.


    As he supported Cam out of the hospital, she excitedly talked about their future.


    Normally, Steven would join in the conversation about their ns, but today he was… All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.
