Quinn was curled up in Lincoln’s arms. Lincoln was almost sixty and looked his age since he didn’t take care of himself–like a grandfather holding his granddaughter.]
Chapter 6
Passersby kept staring.]
“Why is everyone looking at me!“]]
“Honey, I knew they were just jealous of me.
I got goosebumps and quickly pulled my bestie to take a different route.[]
But Lincoln’s sharp eyes spotted me.[]
“Zara, come see your little brother!“]]
His wrinkled face lit up with happiness:
“The Ashford family finally has an heir.”
covered the wound on my ear and laughed coldly. Before my bestie could stop me, I slapped Quinn across the face.]
“That thing in your belly thinks it can call me sister?“]
With Lincoln right there, Quinn couldn’t make a scene, so she just whimpered:[]
“Honey, I’m working so hard carrying your baby, and your daughter’s still hitting me.“]
Lincoln’s face immediately darkened.]
“Zara Rodriguez, your mother’s been dead for years. Even though I married into the Rodriguez family.“]
“As a man, I just want a child who carries my name. Is that really so offensive to you?“]]
The maternity ward wasn’t crowded at night, but the few doctors on duty all turned to look.[]
A young doctor recognized me and said loudly:]
“Isn’t that the girl from this morning who was fighting with her stepmom and acting like her dad’s side piece?”
“What’s she doing causing trouble at the hospital now?“]
My bestie was shaking with anger at their words, wanting to argue, but I held her back.
There was no point arguing with them now.
The crowd pointed their cameras at me, and sure enough, I caught a smug smile on Quinn’s face.]
Lincoln gained confidence and spoke tearfully to the cameras:]
“Even though I married into the Rodriguez family, I still have my dignity as a man.“]
“I’ve devoted myself to managing the Rodriguez company all these years. Even if I haven’t achieved great things, I’ve worked hard. Now I’m almost sixty and finally have a child, but this ungrateful daughter wants to cause trouble…“[]
The crowd started whispering among themselves.]
Chapter 6
Looking at all the bright camera lights around me, I knew this was all being livestreamed.]
It would probably cause another media storm.[]
Right there on camera, I slapped Lincoln across the face with both hands.[]
The bastard’s face immediately swelled up.[]
Lincoln screamed and pointed at me with a shaking hand:[]
“You ungrateful brat! I’m your father!“]]
Quinn, seeing me lose it, didn’t dare say a word.[]
