Super Mommy and Her Triplets

Chapter 636 Abortion And Captivity

Really? But what if God wants to take Lionel's life? What should I do then? Is that something Bay can control?

“I know my relationship with him won't end on a good note, so I divorced him, kept my distance, and even swore

not to see him again. So why? Why does God want to torture us like this? Why?”

Victoria buried her face against Zeke's chest and bawled.

Zeke sighed.

Swearing never to meet again isn't going to ensure a clean break over the love and hate between two people.

There are so many things that don't go our way. Who in this world can control their own fate? And live freely as

they desire?

“It'll be all right because Lionel knew you won't live without him. He'll fight for his life just so you'll live too. Don't

worry too much, for he'll overcome this with willpower. Bay's skills are top-notch. Remember when Mrs. Luther was

badly hurt? Didn't Bay save her from the brink of death all the same? Plus, Lionel only had the edge of a knife graze

his heart. The injury wasn't too severe. Even though his heart was wounded, I believe he will gain full recovery with

Bay's superb medical skills. Rest assured. We'll see how he fares after the surgery.”

Victoria was exhausted mentally and physically from her recent miscarriage and the troubles she went through.

Once Lionel was rolled into the operation theater, she felt as though the remaining energy within her body had

drained along with him. Her knees wobbled as she crumpled into Zeke's arms.

...

In the Hoffman residence, a loud slap echoed across the living room.

Raymond's strike sent Juliana falling toward the couch.

“Answer me! Who planted that seed in your belly?”

Philip and Tucker looked down at Juliana with disdain and malicious grins. Their cold eyes filled with triumph for the

success of their plot.

We were right. The baby in the little b*tch's belly is a bast*rd. This is perfect! Since she's the one asking for it, she

can't blame us for disregarding familial ties. As an heir, she is bearing an unknown man's b*stard, let alone having

sexual relations with an outsider. The charges are d*mning regardless if she's the daughter of the head of the

family. She'll need to be punished for breaking the family's rules. It's too late even if she agrees to abort her baby

now. She has already lost the right to succeed as the head of the family. Only one outcome awaits if she refuses to

abort the baby—ex-communication. She'll also be stripped of her identity as a member of the Hoffman family.

Juliana covered her cheek and narrowed her eyes, casting a cutting gaze at the father and son.

She never thought the two would be so despicable to resort to underhanded tactics.

They actually took a few samples of her amniotic fluid, secretly sent them to people they trusted outside of the

family, and had them done four different DNA tests.

If I manage to cease the first attempt, will I be able to stop the second, third, or fourth? Now that the truth of my

pregnancy has been revealed, I know my outcome will be dire, but before I leave the family, I won't let these two

enjoy their success.

“Excellent plot, Uncle Philip. I'm thoroughly impressed. I can't blame you, though. I can only condemn myself for

being too naive and downplaying your shamelessness. As you hoped, now that my pregnancy with an illegitimate

child has come to light, tell me, what do you have in mind for me?”

“What do we have in mind for you?” The corners of Tucker's lips curled into a cold grin. “The family trusted you and

was ready to hand over the authority as the head of the family to you. Yet, you conspired with some stranger to

seize the entire Hoffman family. Your motive is execrable! Don't think you're exempted from punishments just

because you're Mr. Raymond's daughter. Now that it's true you carry a bast*rd in your belly, you can no longer

deny it. Even though we don't have the right to kill you, we own the right to abort the dastardly creature within you

and keep you in captivity for the rest of your life.”

Juliana returned a cold smile. “What right do you have to abort my baby and keep me captive? According to family

rules, you can only ex-communicate me from the family if I bear the child with someone outside of the family.”

Raymond's brows furrowed at her remarks.

He didn't have a son. Instead, he had two daughters. Initially, his elder daughter held the succession right, but she

disappointed him by breaking the family rules and was finally excommunicated.

With his younger daughter's sunny disposition, a strong sense of decorum, and intelligence, he presumed she could

bear the responsibility as the head of the family.

The last thing he expected of her was to walk the same path as her sister.

How could it not hurt him as their father? How could he not be filled with disappointment?

They did the same thing. Have they ever considered my feelings as their father? Do they know how much I've given

in order to help them gain the position as the heir? Yet, every one of them is a disappointment. They gave the

others a chance to discover their weakness. How can I be biased toward them as the head of the family?

Tucker turned to his father and cast him a signal.

Philip immediately collected himself and urged, “You failed at educating your daughters and allowed such a

situation to occur repeatedly in our family. Our family's reputation as a whole has been dragged through the mud

by your daughters. What should we do if we don't dole out severe punishments and the rest of the family members

follow in their footsteps? How should we manage family affairs in the future? My take on this is to penalize her

harshly and not let her off so easily. It'll also serve as a warning to those within the family to think twice before

breaking the rules.”

The crease between Raymond's brows deepened. His eyes narrowed as he asked, “How do you plan to punish her?

You can say it as it is without beating around the bush. You should know my character well enough that I won't ever

be biased toward anyone, including my daughter, as the head of the family.”

Philip inclined his head. “Let's do as Tucker suggested. Abort the baby in her belly, then confine her. She won't be

allowed to take even a step out of family grounds.”

What a joke! That brat is carrying a child of the Shurmer family. If she leaves our family, she'll conspire with Zeke to

go against us. We won't have the power to withstand their onslaught even if all of the Hoffman family members

back us up. With a marriage between the Shurmer and Luther families, the Shurmer family now has Bailey.

That woman isn't some bimbo. She has an enormous backing supporting her. If we insist on clashing heads with

her, the Hoffman family won't be gaining any benefits. In short, I still think the best option will be aborting the

bast*rd in that b*tch's belly to prevent any possible scheme which will bite us back in our butt. I can't let her leave

the Hoffman family and meet up with Zeke while carrying a bast*rd. If they collude, a massive calamity awaits the

Hoffman family.

Juliana struggled to sit up. With a clenched jaw, she spat, “You can't touch the baby because Master already knew it

belonged to Zeke. If you dare to harm it, the Shurmer and Luther family, including Master, won't let you off.”
