Chapter 732 Jennifer Is Pregnant
Amelia looked at them as they walked up to the third floor. She vaguely remembered that the gynecology department was located on that very floor. As Jennifer was a lady, it was either Jennifer had contracted a genital disease or she was pregnant. After considering Jennifer’s physical condition, Amelia reckoned that the probability of her being pregnant was significantly higher.
Amelia had not wanted to follow her, but the moment she thought of Carter, she decided to secretly do just that. However, before she could even make a move, Jolin, who was standing behind her, grabbed her hand and said, “I’ll go and check it out, Mrs. Clinton. I’ll be sure to tell you what those two are doing.”
It was only then that Amelia remembered there was someone following her.
“Thank you, Jolin.” Amelia’s face burned with embarrassment when she thought of how she had behaved like the paparazzi because of her curiosity.
“Don’t worry about it, Mrs. Clinton. Go on up. I’ll go and take a look.”
Amelia nodded in response, then went upstairs with Tony in her arms, while Jolin went to the third floor. Jolin had been planning on searching around the area, but she managed to spot Jennifer entering a room, and June was nowhere to be found. She walked over and saw that Jennifer had gone for an ultrasound. It was to check if she was pregnant or not.
With her eyes narrowed, she walked over to the side. Suddenly, she halted in her tracks in front of a door that was left ajar.
Through the gap in the door, Jolin found June, whom she was trying to find. June was currently on the phone with someone. “Felix, what is the progress on the project that we snatched from Clinton Corporations? All right. Hurry up with it. I want to make sure that b*stard, Oscar suffers a great loss. He has humiliated me countless times, and I want him to receive the same treatment. There’s still a long way to go for him if he wants to fight—”
Before June could even finish his sentence, he was kicked to the ground by a dark figure. Shocked, he could not even defend himself from being punched multiple times across the face. During the commotion, June’s phone was thrown to the side.
After being punched several times, June snapped back to reality and managed to see who was attacking him. Perhaps it was because of the pent-up rage that had stimulated such force within him or it was because he had been practicing boxing recently that he managed to push Jolin off in one move and get up from the ground.
June held his face, which had been beaten up as he glared at Jolin murderously. “You b*tch, you’ve been attacking me again and again, and I’ve put up with you for too long. Just you wait. I’ll report you to the police. I’ll make sure that you rot in jail.”
Jolin pursed her lips as she looked at June with mockery in her eyes. “Go ahead. But before you do, I’m still going to punch you senseless. There’s no need for me to be polite to a sc*m like you who steals other people’s hard work. Oh, one more thing—the organization that I am working with works closely with the police. Even if you report me, I think I can still come out unscathed.” In other words, even if June were to call the police, it would be for naught, for nothing would happen to Jolin.
June gritted his teeth in anger. The woman in front of him had clearly come to screw him up. Jolin had caused him to suffer so much, and it was so insulting to his ego. However, if he wanted to attack her, he would not be able to win at all. He would only end up being beaten instead.
The more June thought about it, the more frustrated he became. He wanted to report Jolin to the police, but in this country, he was not as powerful as the Clintons. Although he was from the Aderton family, he was not the only heir. If he were to call and ask for their help, not only would he show how incompetent he was, but he would also be scorned by his cousins. The elders of the family would then judge his capabilities. When the time came, his rights of inheritance would no longer be as stable. Therefore, the Adertons could not find out about him getting beaten up. If they knew that he had been attacked in Chanaea, his relatives would not feel sorry for him at all. They would mock him instead.
In those few seconds, all kinds of thoughts raced through June’s mind. In the end, he concluded that he could not call the police like a wuss. These matters could only be solved in private. Otherwise, even if Jolin were put behind bars, Oscar could definitely bail her out.
As there was no other way, June could only swallow his anger. The only way to teach them a lesson was to destroy the Clintons. With that, no one would ever dare to mess with him anymore.
Jolin crossed her arms in front of her chest. “Aren’t you going to call the police?” she said scornfully.
June gritted his teeth and could no longer maintain his gentlemanly appearance. “Don’t you push your luck, Jolin. If you end up in my hands, I will make sure you regret what you’ve done,” he threatened in a low voice.
Jolin shrugged, unaffected by his threats. “Well, I look forward to that. However, I should warn you to stop doing such shameful actions. I think you should not be considered as an heir to the Aderton family, but as a lowly hooligan. If you want to win Mr. Clinton, do it fair and square. Even if you sent someone to steal his documents, and even if you completed the project, you are only fighting a one-sided battle. But we’ll see if you can actually complete it well. No matter how much you compare yourself to Mr. Clinton, you will always be lower than him. Stop daydreaming about beating Mr. Clinton. You’re just a loser and nothing more.”
June’s expression darkened, but Jolin could not care less about his feelings.
After mocking him a few more times, she left.
“Just you wait, Oscar. I’ll make sure that I’ll defeat you one day. When Oscar goes bankrupt, I’ll see who will be able to protect you then, Jolin,” June said through clenched teeth as a malicious glint flashed across his eyes.
Jolin’s constant humiliation was more than enough for hatred to take over his entire heart. The conflict between Oscar and him had been growing just like a snowball that rolled down the hill.
Jolin could not be bothered about June’s hatred toward her. In her eyes, Oscar was more than competent. June was just like a clown jumping up and down in front of him. He was like a drop of water that could not cause even a wave in the ocean. As long as they had a hold over him, they did not need to be afraid of what he could possibly do.
If June knew that he was nothing but a clown in Jolin’s eyes, he would definitely fly into a rage and die of anger. It was fortunate that he did not, for he was still alive and well.
June took a deep breath and tried to relax. He then walked out of the room and waited outside the ultrasound room. Once Jennifer exited, he quickly asked, “You’re not pregnant, right?”
Jennifer only smiled coldly. “Don’t worry, June. I’m not. The doctor said that it was probably food poisoning that caused me to feel nauseous. It’ll go away once I eat some medicine. Just as how you don’t want to be the father of my child, I don’t want to be pregnant with your child as well. It will be best if we remain as business partners. Anyway, you should comfort Cassie. I don’t want her barging into my office and creating a ruckus. I don’t want to be called a vixen. I hate that feeling.”
June, who was already frustrated with what had happened, simply nodded in response.
“Let’s go,” he said as he covered his face.
It was only then that Jennifer noticed the bruises on June’s face. She asked casually, “What happened to your face? I just went in for a checkup, and you’ve fought with someone? Didn’t I tell you that being impulsive is dangerous? Why are you still as careless as ever? I have no idea how you manage to live this long—no, I should ask myself why I chose such a stupid man to work with.”
June felt even angrier at her comment as his face turned red.
“That’s enough, Jennifer. We are in the same boat now, and we used to be in a relationship. It’s all right that you don’t comfort me, but why are you mocking me? Don’t test my patience. I won’t be held responsible if I decide to stop this partnership,” June warned in a furious tone.
Jennifer looked at him and her voice softened as she said, “Go and see a doctor. Your lip is busted. Don’t go out with a bruised face. Even I would feel embarrassed.”
Fury blazed in June’s eyes as he rolled his eyes at her. “That won’t be necessary.” He then walked away.
As Jennifer stood at the same spot looking at his back, a look of hatred and disgust flashed across her eyes. She had no idea why she had chosen such a man to work with. However, since it was already too late to change anything, she could only hope that June was competent enough to help her bring Oscar down.
“What are you waiting for? Do you really want to be pregnant with my child?” June snapped as he turned around to look at her.
Jennifer caught up with him.
The both of them had just exited the elevator when they bumped into Carter, who was holding a bouquet of carnations. Jennifer stopped in her tracks. She did not expect to meet Carter at a place like this.
June, on the other hand, cursed in his heart. He was looking extremely terrible, and he did not want to meet anyone whom he knew. Yet, he ended up bumping into Carter.
Carter’s eyes gleamed, and his gaze instantly locked onto Jennifer. “Jennifer, what are you doing here?”
Before Jennifer could even reply, June wrapped an arm around her shoulder and put on a fake smile. “What a coincidence to see you here, Mr. Scott. Jennifer’s pregnant. Do congratulate us.”
Jennifer whipped her head toward him, her eyes wide. However, all she did was bite her lip. She did not protest at all.
An unfathomable glint flashed across Carter’s eyes as his fingers clenched around the bouquet of carnations. “Jennifer, you’re pregnant?” he asked in a somewhat bitter voice.
Jennifer smiled. “Yes, I’m two months pregnant now. We’ll probably invite you to our wedding one day. When that time comes, be sure to bless us with some amazing gifts. We have other matters to attend to. See you around.”
Having said that, Jennifer left with June, whose arm was still around her, leaving Carter standing there in shock.
Carter’s mind was a mess. The moment he heard that Jennifer was pregnant, an indescribable feeling had risen in his heart.
Right then, Amelia walked out of the elevator and saw Carter standing there. “Carter, what’s wrong?”
Only then did Carter return to his senses. He shook his head and said, “I was thinking about something. I’m here to visit Mrs. Hutton. Where are you going?”
“I’m going to buy some food for my mom. I’ll see you upstairs in a bit.” Amelia could tell that there was something up with Carter. However, she decided to only talk to him after she got back. Therefore, she did not ask him any further questions.
Carter nodded and walked into the elevator alone. He did not even greet Amelia, which was practically unheard of.
Amelia frowned at how dazed Carter looked. However, she brushed the thought away and left the hospital.
