“Now there, Miss Emily, Save your words for the police, the judge, and the Duke’s lawyer.”

Emily’s eyes widened, her face full of fear.

“No! No! You can’t do this to me! I’m still pregnant with the Duke’s child! He’ll be the little prince of the royal family! You can’t do this to him! Your conscience shouldn’t allow you to do this to an unborn child and a pregnant woman!”

Duke Eton nodded. “My conscience can’t stand for it, but the law can. You’ve committed a crime, and you will be held responsible. Do you think that just because you’re pregnant, the law can’t touch you? You can still get a life sentence. Your child will be born in prison, and I’ll take them away from you after you give birth.”

“No!” Emily screamed. “He’s my child! You don’t have the right to take him away!”

“Even though he’s your child, won’t you be in prison? Emily, you’re about to face what will probably be a life sentence. Even if your child is born, you won’t be able to raise him. There are only three places he can go. He can go to heaven after being aborted, or be born and become a ward of the state, or I can take him. If I take him, though, he won’t be part of the royal bloodline. He’s just the living proof of your times. The royal family can not tolerate such a stain.”

When Emily heard this, she felt as if she had fallen into an icy pool. She felt as if she had been frozen.

She held her head in pain and pleaded. “Please don’t do this to me! Please don’t be so cruel! No matter what, that’s your child inside me! He’s your flesh and blood! Sunny isn’t your daughter. She isn’t related to you at all. If you can be so good to her, why can’t you let me go on the account that I’m pregnant with your baby and that the child will be born in only a few more months? I don’t need my status anymore. I-I’m willing to break up with you. All I ask is that you’ll let me live and give birth to this child safely!”

“No, I can’t allow that!” Duke Eton rejected the option without hesitation.

“My child will have to be the product of me and his mother’s love, not a bargaining chip for a woman like you. You’re greedy and insatiable! If I let you go and wait for you to give birth to the child, will you live out the rest of your days quietly? You might go crazy and let the whole world know that I have an illegitimate child. You’d force the royal family to admit it.”

Hearing Duke Eton’s words, Emily thought that she still had a chance. Her eyes lit up, and she begged. “No, I won’t do that! I definitely won’t!”

“Emily, let me ask you this. How do you know Su Fei?” Nangong Nuan forgot to ask earlier. Although it was not that important, she still wanted to know.

Emily thought that she really had a chance at redemption now.She was not going to hide anything now! She needed her kin in the royal bloodline!

“Two days ago, the Duke took me to attend a charity auction. Before the auction started, there was a buffet outside. The Duke had been pestering me, so I wandered around and ended up in an isolated corner. I overheard Su Fei talking to her cousin.”
