In that moment, Christopher felt an overwhelming desire to end it all.


    He was taken aback by Donald’s unexpected defense of Hannah.


    This caught himpletely off guard and made him deeply ufortable.


    For half of his life, Christopher had lived with pride and arrogance, never once facing the humiliation of being a cuckold. Now, he found himself in a situation where not only was he being cheated on, but his wife was also pregnant with another man’s child.


    What troubled him the most was the realization that divorce was not an option.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Wasn’t this just condemning him to a life of humiliation?


    At that moment, his hatred for Hannah boiled within him. Yet, he managed to calm himself after recalling Donald’s words.


    He understood that defying Donald was not an option; doing so would spell disaster not just for himself, but for the entire Wilson family as well.


    Donald was their only lifeline. Offending him could lead to the Wilson family being expelled from the vi at Thompson First, leaving them destitute and homeless.


    To ensure their survival and protect the Wilson Group and their residence, Christopher felt he had no choice but to endure the pain of his situation.<fn4ecb> Read full story at fι?dnοvel</fn4ecb>


    Living with Hannah felt unbearable, as if he were on the brink of copse.


    Yet, survival necessitatedpromise.


    Through gritted teeth, he addressed Hannah, “I won’t divorce you, but you must terminate the pregnancy!”


    Lady Wilson, with a cold demeanor, nodded in agreement, saying, “The Wilson family will not ept a bastard child. You need to have an abortion.”


    Hannah felt a sense of relief at the concessions made by the Wilson family. In truth, she was not keen on bringing this child into the world.


    After all, it was a repugnant, middle-aged man who had gotten her pregnant, one who also brought with him a slew of venereal diseases.


    The mere thought of this made Hannah want tosh out at her supervisor.


    Quickly, she responded, “Don’t worry; I’ve already scheduled the abortion for Monday. I will not give birth to this child.”


    Lady Wilson replied coldly, “That’s the best course of action!”


    Feeling emotional, Hannah said, “You all should try to understand my position. I’ve endured so much suffering in the ck coal mine. The only reason I managed to survive those days was because of all of you—because you are my family…”


    Her sincere confession, however, only made Christopher feel sick and repulsed. He retorted coldly, “Enough with the victim act. You’ve gained so much already. If it weren’t for Mr. Webb standing up for you, you would have been out the door by now!”


    Seeing the anger radiating from Christopher, Hannah dropped her emotional facade and said, “Christopher, I’m offering you a chance for a better life. If you persist in bringing shame upon yourself, then I, Hannah, will not back down!”


    Furious, Christopher opened his mouth to scold her again, but Lady Wilson interrupted sharply, “Enough! Stop this at once!”


    With that, Christopher fell silent.


    Lady Wilson continued coldly, “Everyone needs to calm down. This is a minor issue. Why are you making so much noise? Mr. Webb has already spoken, and yet you’re still stirring trouble? Do you want to see the Wilson family torn apart?”


    To Lady Wilson, no matter how significant the issue, it had to be set aside if it threatened her position in the vi at Thompson First or the revival of the Wilson Group.


    Both Christopher and Hannah wore awkward expressions, though Hannah could not hide her triumphant demeanor.


    She recognized that Lady Wilson had already made concessions.


    With a darkening expression, Lady Wilson stated, “Our family has endured much. We should be willing to let go of certain things now.”
