Sharon clutched Loretta’s hand and spoke in a pitiful tone. “Mom, I really do want to have this baby for the Luke family, but not long ago I was set up and ended up spending the night with a beggar. I didn’t actually lose my innocence, but my reputation has still taken a hit. If I have this child, people will laugh at him. Mom, maybe I shouldn’t keep this baby after all. And besides, Jensen thinks it’s humiliating and wants to divorce me. Don’t worry–once I end the pregnancy, I’ll finalize the divorce; I won’t drag the Luke family into it.”

Loretta’s face darkened immediately.

“What nonsense are you spouting? Abort the baby? Divorce? You’re almost three months along; you can’t just toss this around lightly.”

After soothing Sharon, Loretta turned sharply toward Jensen, her eyes flashing.

“Deal with Sharon’s scandal at once. No matter what, you’re still the president of Luke Corp. As president, you can’t let the company suffer; as a man, you need to protect your wife. She’s pregnant, and yet you let her feel so wronged–Jensen, what are you thinking?”

Jensen wasn’t moved by Loretta’s stern rebuke.

He only stared coldly at Sharon, his gaze so sharp she didn’t dare meet his eyes. Didn’t lose her innocence? How could she even say that out loud? So many reporters had seen it; even if I managed to cover it up, could I control what people thought? The fact remained–I had been cuckolded by a beggar.

And divorce? When had I ever brought up divorce to Sharon? I hadn’t realized before just how brazen Sharon could be; now I was finally seeing it for myself. So when she’d once tearfully claimed Natalie had wronged her, had that too been her scheming and manipulation?

Jensen almost laughed.

He had actually lost Natalie for someone like this.

Sharon knew her words would only fuel Jensen’s disgust, but she had no choice.

Jordan wanted to send her abroad, Quincy kept his distance after the poisoning incident, and she couldn’t go back to her family home.

Now even Jensen was planning to send her overseas just to pursue Natalie. What else could she do?

At least fate had smiled on her this time–she was pregnant with Jensen’s child. This baby was her only lifeline. If she could hold onto Loretta, she could secure her place in the Luke family.

Once she gave birth, no matter if it was a boy or a girl, she’d be seen as a benefactor to the family; even if Jensen wanted to cast her aside, he’d have to think twice for the sake of the child.

Sharon lowered her head, lost in thought. To Loretta, it looked like she was too aggrieved to even meet Jensen’s eyes.

Angered, Loretta shoved Jensen lightly.

“Look what you’ve done to your wife! I’m warning you–get your act together. Sharon’s pregnant now; you need to take better care of her. If nothing else, let her stay in the hospital for a few days, then I’ll bring her back to the Luke residence. And you–you’ll come stay there

too.”

Sharon’s heart leapt with joy.

Jensen, however, frowned deeply.

“Mom, things at the company are a mess right now; I really don’t have time to move back to the Luke residence.”

Loretta knew how bad things were at the company. She sighed. “Even so, Sharon’s situation still needs to be dealt with. It’s not just about your reputation; the Luke family can’t afford to lose face. Those reporters may be difficult, but there’s nothing money can’t fix. If we have to bleed a little, so be it.”

Jensen didn’t want to speak; irritation pressed heavy on him.

Sharon seized the chance. “Mom, my situation isn’t really the main problem. Luke Corp’s biggest headache right now is Ms. Sunny cutting ties. She’s demanding Jensen compensate her

The moment Jensen heard her slyly bring up Natalie, his voice thundered in a low growl.

But Loretta had already latched onto it, her brows knitting tightly.
