After Having a Dream, I Became Pregnant with a Billionaire's Child-Chapter 220 - 215

Emily Parker only felt a sudden sharp pain on her scalp, as if her skin was being forcibly torn off, and a flash of anger crossed her eyes.

Before she had time to react, a strong arm yanked her into a hard chest.

The next second, accompanied by a dull grunt, a long, sturdy leg swiftly kicked heavily at Adeline’s knee.

Adeline let out a miserable cry of "Ouch," her legs went weak, and she collapsed heavily to the ground, her knees hitting the surface, scraping the skin, causing trickles of blood.

Before Adeline could recover, her hair was violently yanked, forcing her head up.

She looked up, only to meet Carlos’s cold, stern face. His gaze was so chilling it felt like it could freeze someone. Adeline’s face turned pale with fear, her lips trembled, stuttering,

"Master, Master Carter!"

Carlos looked down at her, his eyes full of disgust and warning, his thin lips parted slightly as he coldly spat out a sentence,

"Who said she was a homewrecker? She’s my wife."

His voice was deep, yet it echoed around like the toll of a bell, indisputable.

Adeline was struck dumb with fear, her face drained of color, her lips moved but she couldn’t form a single coherent word.

"Master Carter, I... I really didn’t know she was your..."

She stammered an explanation, her voice filled with terror and panic, while glancing spitefully at Emily Parker. That venomous look didn’t escape Emily’s notice.

The curious stares from around felt like a thousand needles, but at this moment, all Adeline wanted was to escape quickly.

She scrambled up from the ground using both hands and feet, her steps stumbling as she nearly fell again, and fled in a panic, her figure looking especially wretched.

"Are you okay?"

Carlos looked at Emily Parker, his eyes full of concern, with a hint of remorse in his tone.

He silently blamed himself for being so careless, leaving Emily alone there and almost causing her grievance.

Emily also felt surprised, knowing well that Carlos was never one to be rough with women.

But this time, for her, he had made an exception.

It should have been touching, but thinking of Rainny White, Emily felt a heavy stone pressing on her heart.

Her eyes dimmed slightly. She gently extended her hand, pushing Carlos’s arm away.

"I’m fine, I’ll just head in for the check-up."

Emily turned her head aside, avoiding Carlos’s gaze, a trace of detectable distance in her words, and quickly walked into the examination room, her hurried figure looked like she was fleeing from something.

In the parking lot, Adeline was limping along, each step tugging at her injured knee, causing her to frown in pain.

"Just a little more and I could have gotten rid of that woman’s child."

She cursed under her breath, her eyes filled with nearly insane resentment.

The sight of Carlos protecting Emily Parker kept replaying in her mind, and her hatred grew stronger.

If it weren’t for Emily Parker, that night in the cinema, it would have been her who spent the night with Junior President Carter and ended up pregnant with his child.

She had prepared for this opportunity for a long time, dressing up meticulously, hoping she could turn from a nobody into someone important, but then Emily Parker unexpectedly interfered.

It was no coincidence that she appeared at the hospital today. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

A few days ago, a mysterious person contacted her. The voice on the other end was cold, promising that if she could get rid of the child in Emily Parker’s belly, she’d get ten million and the resources to become an online star again.

The enormous reward and the lure of returning to her peak blinded Adeline. She agreed without hesitation, lying in wait at the hospital early, looking for a chance to strike. But she failed and was harshly taught a lesson by Carlos, which filled her with hatred.

Not long after she started walking, suddenly, everything went black before her eyes.

A foul-smelling black garbage bag was abruptly pulled over her head, the pungent smell instantly invading her nostrils.

Before she could react, a sharp pain came from her scalp as someone yanked her hair like lifting a chick, and her head was slammed hard against a nearby wall.

With a dull thud, stars exploded before her eyes, her head buzzed loudly.

"Speak, who sent you to the hospital to look for Emily Parker?"

A cold, androgynous voice, as if from hell, echoed in her ear.

The voice carried no warmth, sending a shiver down Adeline’s spine. Fear overwhelmed her like a tide.

Her legs turned to jelly, her whole body trembled like a sieve, and her teeth began to chatter uncontrollably, but she couldn’t utter a single word.
