Chapter 3

Samuel’s own skills were far too weak to persuade the board of directors.

Marrying my sister was a trick to use her status as the oldest daughter of the Prescott Family to lock in my role inside the Callaghan Group.

Now, with backing from his wife’s father, he became the next in line of the Callaghan Group and now he wanted to abandon my sister to chase real love.

There was no such thing as an easy gain.

My sister wasn’t fighting for anything, but I had to seek fairness for her.

I took my sister to the hospital for a pregnancy check and we happened to meet Samuel with Amara outside the OB-GYN.

Amara, holding a pregnancy test showing two lines, walked proudly toward us in her high heels.

“I’m pregnant as well!”

“Grandpa said his shares will only go to his first great-grandson.”

“As for who gives birth to Grandpa’s great-grandson, that depends on luck!”

My sister’s eyes turned red instantly.

She lowered her head, her shoulders shaking a little.

Samuel had no love for her, but she had feelings for him; otherwise, she would never have agreed to the arranged wedding at the start.

Her husband had taken his lover to the hospital for a pregnancy check.

The mistress even walked over to her and tried to upset her.

How could she not feel hurt?

The announcement started calling numbers and Amara proudly hooked her arm through Samuel’s arm, turned around and walked into the examination room.

My sister leaned back on the cold metal chair, her hands tightly clenched, staying quiet.

I asked her, “Do you want a divorce?”

My sister shook her head. “No, the Prescott Family has already been joined with the Callaghan Family. My parents worked for their whole lives inside the Callaghan Family. If I divorce now, it means giving up everything!”

I nodded. “Then don’t divorce. I have a way to make him hand over everything that belongs to you, principal and interest!”

My sister shook her head and looked at me in shock.

She likely never thought that I, as Samuel’s mother, would say something like this.

After the pregnancy check, the driver took us back home.

Samuel, using pregnancy care as an excuse, forced Amara to move into the Callaghan Family’s old house.

Also, the room was set right next to my sister’s. Late at night, my sister could even hear the two of them moaning.

“Sister Vespera, I have thought it over. Since we both love Samuel, why can’t we live together calmly?”

“From now on, we will stay under the same roof, so please look after me well!”

“To show that I mean it, this is a present for you. You won’t mind, right?”

The box opened, showing a sandalwood bracelet.

“Sandalwood helps calm the body and is good for the fetus. Here, let me put it on you myself!”

In the living room, Amara held my sister’s hand and strongly pushed the bracelet onto her wrist.

My sister tried to pull away, but she couldn’t fight Amara’s strength.

“Stop!” I came down the spiral staircase and stopped Amara.

“This is a very nice gift for Sister Vespera!” Amara explained.

I moved closer step by step, grabbed the bracelet from Amara’s hand and tossed it into the trash bin.

“Hey, this is a sandalwood bracelet!” Amara quickly tried to stop me.

I turned toward her and stared at her hard.

“Sandalwood or scent powder?”

Amara felt a brief flash of guilt, then quickly acted boldly. “I got it from a church, so of course it is sandalwood…”

I cut her off right away. “Should I have it checked?”

Amara swallowed the rest of her excuse.

“Wearing scent powder for a long time can cause a pregnancy loss, don’t you even know such simple common knowledge?”

Amara let out a low laugh, her tone meant to provoke.

“So what if I know?”

“I want her unborn baby to die!”

“No one will take even one thing from my son or me!”
