Chapter: 700
Brian’s expression hardened as he retorted, “Eleanor, I can offer you any amount of money. Get an
abortion.”
Eleanor’s smile froze at Brian’s words. “No, Mr. Hughes. It is a gift from God, the fruit of our love.
Surely, you can’t be so cruel.”
But Brian only shot her another cold, piercing look. “Are you trying to use the child to blackmail me?”
A glint of alarm flashed in Eleanor’s eyes. “I…”
“Let me be blunt. I do not like you, Eleanor. And even if by some godforsaken reason, I married you,

Brian didn’t mince his words at all.
Eleanor moved closer and took his hand. “Love can come later, we will develop it slowly. I like you, Mr.
Hughes. If you give me a chance, I guarantee that I can make you fall in love with me. We will be one
happy family.”
“Never. I can give you whatever you demand, but I will never marry you,” Brian declared, shaking her
hand away as if it was something disgusting. “In fact, I will make an appointment with the best
gynecologist right now and schedule your operation for tomorrow. Don’t worry, I will compensate you
once the deed is done. I will also continue to sponsor you until you become a famous celebrity.”
He didn’t even wait for her to respond, and just strode away.
Eleanor watched him go, her hands clenching into fists.

And yet Brian was insisting that she have an abortion
Was there really no way she could Leverage her child?
Just then, her assistant, Moira entered.
“Eleanor, are you pregnant with Mr. Hughes’ child?”
Eleanor’s lips twitched. Her hands moved to her belly as she lay back on the bed, neither admitting nor

Moira continued to prattle on to herself. “Are you two getting married soon? Eleanor, you know that the
Hughes family is the most powerful force in Wragos. Once you become Mr. Hughes’ wife, no one will
dare to look down on you again.”
Eleanor’s heart skipped a beat, and a renewed determination surged in her chest.
Right!
She still had one golden ticket to force Brian’s hand!
What was the point of being touted as the best actress if she couldn’t even use her talent to her
advantage?
She wouldn’t be the first actress to use her title and popularity in order to secure a marriage into a
wealthy family.
