Overwhelmed by the Billionaire’s Persistent Pursuit

Chapter 451: Glancing at his watch, Greyson realized he was ten minutes late. "I apologize for the delay. Please, have a seat." Essie timidly sat down, her voice trembling as she asked, "Mr. Harman, what do you plan to do? I..." She stumbled over her words, her anxiety making it hard to speak clearly. Seated elegantly on the sofa, Greyson cast a discerning gaze at Essie, who looked on the verge of a breakdown. With a chuckle, he said, "Why are you so nervous?

Did you deliberately cause Candice to fall down the stairs and have a miscarriage?" Startled, Essie abruptly stood and denied, "How could you even suggest such a thing?! I didn't attend the ambassador's wife's birthday party at all." "Exactly. So why are you so afraid? What have you been up to?" Greyson asked, his voice tinged with suspicion. "I..." Essie hesitated, unsure how to explain. The truth was, she hadn't done anything malicious. She had only altered some information and kept it hidden. Still, her nerves got the better of her. "Mr.

Harman, I recently learned from the news that Candice is your ex-wife," Essie said, relieved to address the issue that had been troubling her. She couldn't help but wonder if Greyson was the father of Candice's child. If so, why did he ask her to manipulate the timing of her pregnancy? And who was the intended recipient of this false information? Could it be another wealthy and influential person? "Yes. What's your point?" Greyson's discomfort was evident, and his expression darkened at the word "ex-wife." "Mr. Harman, Candice had a miscarriage.

It seems the truth about her pregnancy timing has already come to light," Essie gently reminded him, careful not to mention the phone call she had received. "Well, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter anymore," Greyson responded nonchalantly, shrugging his shoulders. Essie felt a mix of shock and relief. She quickly said, "The baby in Candice's womb might have had a natural issue. She once asked me if it would affect the baby if both parents had taken unidentified medication during sex. She also asked about amniocentesis. It was clear she was deeply worried. I deceived her back then. Mr.

Harman, you must have overheard it. Furthermore, she experienced a threatened miscarriage, making it impossible to sustain the pregnancy. There was no point in trying to save the fetus or stop the bleeding. What she really needed was to find the right time to have an abortion quickly. Mr. Harman, I don't understand. Why should we keep this a secret?" Ł@ŧє$τ ¢ђαþ†êяş ίη galñøνêļş.çøм If it weren't for the need for confidentiality, there would be no reason to hide anything. Greyson narrowed his eyes, thinking over the situation.

Indeed, Candice's unborn child could have been affected by her condition during sex. Madilyn had tampered with the juice, which caused the fetus's congenital problems. The fetus seemed to lack a functioning heart, and its development was slow. He had asked Essie to conceal the truth to help win Candice back and convince his grandfather to accept her, using her pregnancy as leverage. To do this, he urged Essie to prescribe some hemostatics as a cover-up.

He also manipulated the reported duration of Candice's pregnancy, hoping that both Milton and his grandfather would believe she was carrying his child. . . .
