Chapter 318: Chapter 318: Caught in Their Own Web
"What?"
"The child is gone?"
Eleanor Gage and Stephen Stone seemed to be greatly shocked.
Especially Eleanor Gage, who took several steps back.
She didn’t like Vivian Lynn, that’s true, but she was still looking forward to her grandchild’s arrival.
After all, she had envied her peers taking their grandchildren to the park play, having breakfast together on weekends for a long time.
She thought she could soon enjoy this kind of joy too.
But Vivian Lynn’s words were a devastating blow, almost making her lose the strength to stand, collapsing to the ground.
Stephen Stone, however, had no intention of helping her up, instead rushing directly to Vivian Lynn.
His eyes were bloodshot, hysterical: "How exactly did the child disappear?"
Although he had been fooling around and flirting outside lately, he was still hoping for this little life to arrive.
And instinct told him that without the child, he and Vivian Lynn were impossible.
No matter how he accused her, Vivian remained unusually indifferent: "How did the child disappear? I got rid of it."
"Why?"
"He was innocent. Why did you get rid of him?"
Stephen Stone continued to roar.
Eleanor Gage also sternly questioned: "How can you be so heartless, give me back my grandchild!"
"I’m not heartless. A child that is not expected, what does it matter if they come into the world?" Vivian Lynn coldly smirked.
Eleanor tried to justify: "No, it’s not that I don’t expect this child. I just..."
She just felt that Vivian Lynn had never studied abroad, not reaching their family’s high standards.
So she wanted to mentally suppress Vivian Lynn, striving to control Vivian Lynn, and even the Wisteria TV behind her.
But she didn’t expect, she tied herself up...
Before she could finish, Vivian Lynn interrupted.
"Your thoughts have nothing to do with me. I only know that if the child is born into your family, they would be ruined sooner or later."
Under the influence of Eleanor Gage and Stephen Stone, the child would definitely become selfish.
If one day Vivian Lynn were truly gone from this world, the child’s future would be even more worrying.
"But you can’t decide this alone, after all, half of his blood is from our Stone Family."
After Eleanor’s exclamations, she quickly circled back to the main topic.
"Anyway, regretting what has been done is useless. Let’s talk about the marriage, as long as you now invest five hundred million in our family, I will give you a dowry of two hundred thousand and a set of pure gold jewelry."
The child is gone, but it’s never too late to have one in the future.
But if the chain restaurant goes bankrupt, the whole family will struggle to survive.
As for Vivian Lynn’s earlier declaration not to marry Stephen Stone, Eleanor Gage dismissed it entirely.
In her eyes, Stephen Stone was a top student who studied abroad.
If Vivian Lynn misses Stephen Stone, where will she find such a high-educated husband?
So Vivian Lynn surely still wants to reconcile with Stephen Stone, as long as she makes a slight compromise.
Then, not long after Eleanor’s words fell, Vivian Lynn threw these words out.
"Ms. Gage, please listen carefully, I’ll say it once more. In this lifetime, I, Vivian Lynn, would marry anyone but the Stone Family, or I’ll be cursed by the heavens. So don’t dream that I’ll invest in your family."
Hearing Vivian Lynn’s fierce vow, combined with the determination in her eyes at the moment, Eleanor Gage finally realized how serious the situation was.
Not only her, but even Stephen Stone knew Vivian Lynn was serious.
"Vivian, I was wrong. Could you give me a chance to make it up to you?" Stephen Stone began to plead.
After his reckless behavior, the more he realized Vivian Lynn’s worth, now he truly wanted to stay by her side.
"Yes, Vivian, we were wrong. I didn’t handle the child’s matter well, I shouldn’t have been stingy and refused the dowry or wedding. If you’re angry, you can hit me, and I won’t have any complaints..."
Eleanor Gage also begged for forgiveness, even kneeling before Vivian Lynn at one point.
Because she knows better than anyone how huge the losses of the chain restaurant are this time.
Other than Vivian Lynn, no one can help them.
Vivian Lynn, however, ignored the apologies and pleas, directly calling the company security to escort the noisy mother and son out, emphasizing: "From now on, these two are never allowed to step into Wisteria TV."
