Chapter 292: Chapter 292: Pinning the Blame on Him?
Nathan Jacobs was a bit bewildered.
"Pregnant?"
Previously, when he had lost his power and was being played by Nina Quinn, he indeed hoped to use the child to control Nina, and thereby seize control of the entire Quinn Family, getting them to support him in becoming the head of the Jacobs Family.
But after the livestream incident, he no longer hoped for a child, and he was even more reluctant to have any relations with Nina Quinn.
Not only because of Nina Quinn’s decisiveness after the incident, but also because she knew his past from the livestream...
That was the biggest stain in his life, the thing he least wanted to recall for the rest of his life.
But as long as Nina Quinn kept appearing in front of him, he couldn’t forget these things.
This was also the reason he ultimately accepted Nina Quinn breaking up with him unilaterally.
He thought that once his uncle arranged for him to take over the Aethelgard branch of the Jacobs Group, he would never return to the country.
He planned to make the Aethelgard branch of the Jacobs Group bigger and stronger, detach himself from the Jacobs Family, and then marry a noble lady from Aethelgard, so that no one would know about the embarrassing livestream incident.
From now on, his life would only be filled with glory and brilliance.
The dirty past would be completely covered up.
But little did he expect that when he was already prepared to welcome a bright new life, Nina Quinn would throw such a bomb at him.
"Don’t joke about something like this, it’s not funny at all."
Nathan Jacobs subconsciously tried to deny it all.
But Nina Quinn, with tears in her eyes, said, "It’s no joke, I really am pregnant."
At the moment, she had no desire to be involved with Nathan Jacobs, after all, she had a promising future waiting for her.
But seeing Nathan Jacobs more afraid of getting involved than she was, how could she not feel aggrieved?
Nathan Jacobs still resisted the idea of being a father: "Then it’s absolutely not my child. Haven’t you been with Justin lately?"
Indeed, the recent affair between Justin Callahan and Nina Quinn wasn’t a secret in their circles.
And based on Nathan Jacobs’ understanding of Nina Quinn, she must have slept with Justin, after all, that’s how casually she had slept with Nathan back then.
Thinking of this, Nathan Jacobs concluded that the child must have been conceived by Nina Quinn and Justin Callahan.
The result was that Justin didn’t dare own up to it, and Nina wanted to pin the child on him!
"I’ve only been with him for a month, but the child is already three months old, so it’s yours!"
The sweet nothings from the past seemed still to echo in her ears, but this man vehemently denied the child was his.
Nina Quinn felt more and more that this man was shameless.
But fate had entangled them messily because of the child!
Seeing Nathan Jacobs still in disbelief, Nina Quinn simply threw her ultrasound results in front of him.
"Take a good look, so you don’t accuse me of framing you and making you an unwitting dad."
Nathan Jacobs quickly scanned the contents, confirming the child was indeed three months along, his face turning ashen.
Fate truly loves to toy with people.
When he racked his brains to have a child with Nina Quinn, no child came forth.
Yet when he desperately wished to distance himself from Nina Quinn, they ended up with a child...
After much deliberation, Nathan Jacobs still made a decision: "I can’t marry you, let’s terminate the pregnancy."
He couldn’t face Nina Quinn for the rest of his life, or else his life would be ruined.
"I don’t want to marry you either, but the child... my body is in a peculiar condition, and removing it might leave me infertile forever."
A child who might become a hindrance on her path to success, of course Nina Quinn wouldn’t particularly cherish.
But losing the child might also rob her of her qualification to become a mother, leaving Nina Quinn in a daze.
"Are you planning to be a single mom then?"
"Am I crazy?" Nina Quinn understood how difficult single motherhood was.
Someone like her, who only wanted to lie back and enjoy a good life, could never choose a path that would exhaust her with no benefits in return.
Both selfish individuals fell into contemplation at this moment.
Just then, Nathan Jacobs had a sudden idea.
"What if... we pin the child on Justin?"
