And The Daddy Is… The Infertile Guy?! ( Vitality ) -
Chapter 146
Chapter 146
Speculation was rife that as soon as the press conference ended, Gwendolyn would be taken away in cuffs.
In front of TV screens across town, familles gathered to watch.
Jeannie and Roselind were glued to the live broadcast, while Jameson seemed a bit distracted.
“Mom, you think Gwen will be okay, night?” Jeannie’s heart was racing, and Howard had insisted she not visit the hospital these past few days.
Roseland soothed, patting her hand, “Howard will figu
figure something
out”
She refused to believe Gwendolyn was capable of the accusations.
“That’s a relief. Vivien must be gloating herself silly. Even after her miscarriage, she’s not resting, hinting on social media that Gwen’s going to jail, saying Howard’s going to leave her. Sour grapes, that’s all it is. That Bainbridge guy isn’t half the man Howard is.”
Jeannie couldn’t hide her disdain for that pair.
Roselind offered a few words of comfort but couldn’t help noticing something off about her husband, Jameson, who had been leaving the house far too often lately.
Over at the Lopez household.
Mrs. Lopez reclined in her chair, while her daughter–in–law, Ashley Mitchell, cradled her newborn and joined her for the press conference. “Gwendolyn’s a good doctor, kind–hearted and skilled,” Mrs. Lopez remarked. “That Bill, he’s always seemed shady. No matter the outcome, we Lopezes will stand by her”
Ashley nodded in agreement. “Definitely. Dr. Quigley was a godsend during the baby’s delivery. We owe her a lot.”
The Lopezes and Gwendolyn shared a bond.
The mood at the Sawyer residence was quite different.
Vivien lay on the couch, her hand on her stomach, while Herman and Gemma sat nearby.
“Gemma, you were right to disown Gwendyn in public. Imagine the shame for our Sawyer name if she’s convicted,” Vivien said with a sneer. Gwendolyn was as good as behind bars.
Gemma served her a bowl of sweet almond pudding, patiently saying, “Vivien, eat up and get stronger. You’re my only daughter, and Gwendolyn means nothing to us.”
She smiled, trying to please Vivien
Herman commented dryly, “Looks like Gwendolyns out of luck. Howard’s star is on the rise, and he’ll surely divorce that country bumpkin. The Mrs. President of Summit Corp position will soon be up for grabs.”
Viviens eyes gleamed at the thought
“Dad, what about giving me that spot? Bainbridge and I haven’t tied the knot yet.”
She was supposed to be with Howard, if not for Gwendolyn’s interference
Now, with a rift between her and Bainbridge and after losing the baby, she didn’t mind Howard’s disabilities or that he was divorced.
Herman frowned, “Don’t delude yourself. Better stick with Bainbridge. Half the heiresses in Bayridge City are throwing themselves at him. Without Gwendolyn, there will be others, like that Hamilton girl.”
Vivien’s entitlement knew no bounds.
“Dad. Bainbridge has been seeing other women” Vivien cried out, infuriated, “He’s been with that tramp Fanny, deliberately humiliating
me
“Men will be men,” Herman advised, “As long as he’s in a position of power, you benefit too. He’s been trying to make amends, and just give him a chance to make it up to you.”
Bainbridge would eventually inherit 30% shares of the Chadwick Group.
Gemma was left feeling uneasy by Herman’s words, suspecting he might have a mistress.
Vivien huffed but didn’t argue.
“It’s all Gwendolyn’s fault my life is ruined. Let’s just watch. I want to see her get arrested with my
As the town held its breath
At 10,30 AM sharp, the Bayridge Hospital press conference began.
