After Divorce I Married a Tycoon-Chapter 77: Scarlett Jewel Wants to Get Rid of Mrs. Sinclair
Scarlett Jewel suppressed her displeasure and put on a pitiful expression.
"Gavin, do you think I don’t want to see you?"
"But Mrs. Sinclair doesn’t welcome me at all, you know that."
"On top of that, my morning sickness has been terrible lately, and the pregnancy has become a bit unstable due to all the emotional turmoil."
"The doctor told me I need bed rest to protect the baby, otherwise the fetus might... That’s why I haven’t come to see you."
"Are you blaming me?"
The moment he heard her pregnancy was unstable, a hint of worry finally appeared in Gavin Sinclair’s eyes.
"If the doctor said you need to rest and protect the baby, then you should be staying at home."
"But I was worried about you." Scarlett Jewel knelt in front of him and grabbed his arm.
"Plus, my parents were taken away by the police, and netizens dug up my identity. I get calls from strangers every day cursing me out..."
"Do you have any idea how horrible the things they say are?"
"They’re cursing me, and they’re cursing our child. Some of them even found my address and are sending me bloody, terrifying things. Do you know how scared I am when I see that stuff?"
"Even if I did something wrong, our child is innocent! Why are they so vicious? It’s like they’re deliberately trying to make me miscarry..."
As she said this, Scarlett Jewel looked aggrieved again, on the verge of tears.
It was true that netizens were calling to curse her out.
But the part about netizens sending things to scare her was a complete fabrication.
Her goal was to play the victim in front of Gavin Sinclair, to appear as pitiful as possible.
’He can’t possibly ignore me after I’ve said all this.’
’Even if he doesn’t care about me, there’s no way he doesn’t care about the child in my belly.’
Still, Scarlett Jewel seethed whenever she thought about it. After Claire Mercer exposed Gavin Sinclair’s affair online, netizens had quickly followed the trail. They outed her as the "third party" who had wrecked a marriage and unleashed a storm of fury upon her.
If the incident with Mrs. Sinclair hadn’t come out and diverted most of the public’s ire, she’d still be getting hounded by those netizens.
Seeing Gavin Sinclair’s expression turn dark and troubled after hearing her words, she immediately started crying and playing the victim again.
"Gavin, my family is in chaos right now."
"My brother has been overwhelmed with this mess for the past two days, so there’s no one to look after me... I live in constant fear every day, terrified that I’ll lose the baby. If that happens, it’ll be all my fault."
As she spoke, Scarlett Jewel’s tears began to stream down her face.
Gavin Sinclair remembered that the Mercer Family was also in dire straits.
The Mercer parents had been taken away and were still under investigation, and Oscar Mercer was running around everywhere because of it. It was true that no one was looking after her.
On top of that, she was being harassed by netizens and scared with those horrifying packages.
And of all things, she was pregnant with his child, and the pregnancy had been affected by all this chaos.
He couldn’t let anything happen to the child in her belly.
This was the Sinclair family’s first great-grandson. His status was different.
So, after a moment’s thought, he said to Scarlett Jewel,
"Then why don’t you move into the Sinclair residence for now."
Hearing this, Scarlett Jewel’s heart exploded with joy.
On the surface, however, she maintained a pitifully delicate and understanding facade.
"Never mind, Gavin. Mrs. Sinclair doesn’t like me. I don’t want to move into the Sinclair residence and annoy her."
Gavin Sinclair said, "No matter how much she dislikes you, you’re carrying her great-grandson."
"But I don’t want to make things difficult for you. Let’s just forget it. I don’t want to cause you any trouble."
"What trouble?" Gavin Sinclair said, his voice taking on a commanding tone.
"I’m the child’s father. If I say you’re moving in, you’re moving in."
"You’re carrying my child, the bloodline of the Sinclair family. Who would dare say anything if you move in?"
"Gavin, really, let’s forget it. I don’t want to move in without a proper reason or status."
"People will gossip about me if they find out, and they’ll gossip about you too."
"I’m still unmarried. It’s not appropriate for me to live in the Sinclair residence."
"What if Mrs. Sinclair decides to find another wife for you in the future? What would I do then?"
At these words, Gavin Sinclair fell into deep thought.
’She’s right.’
’It wouldn’t be proper for Scarlett Jewel to move in.’
’But she’s carrying my child.’
’And the pregnancy is already at risk. If she stays with the Mercer family...’
’What if she can’t carry the baby to term?’
’This is the Sinclair family’s first great-grandson, the old lady’s first great-grandchild.’
’This child is a bargaining chip that increases my chances of becoming the Sinclair family heir. Nothing can be allowed to go wrong.’
"Move in for now. We’ll talk again after the Mercer family’s situation is resolved."
"But what about Mrs. Sinclair..."
Scarlett Jewel’s eyes dimmed again as she put on her wronged expression.
"I’ll talk to her myself. You just move in and don’t worry about it."
"Thank you, Gavin. I knew you cared about me the most..."
And so, Scarlett Jewel moved into the Sinclair residence that very morning.
’As long as I’m living here, I’m sure I’ll find a chance to deal with that old hag.’
’She’s over eighty years old and still so domineering...’
’She’s at that age, she should know when to quit. Sticking around any longer just makes her a nuisance.’
Meanwhile, Rose Gable was extremely nervous when she learned that the recent events had caused Scarlett Jewel’s pregnancy to become unstable.
Upon hearing that her son had already decided to let her move in, she immediately had the maids prepare a room for Scarlett Jewel.
"Just focus on resting and your pregnancy here at the Sinclair residence for the time being."
In truth, Scarlett Jewel didn’t want to move in without a legitimate status either.
But she had her own plans.
’I’ll stay for a couple of days, and once I’ve dealt with Mrs. Sinclair, it’ll only be a matter of time before I use this pregnancy to marry into the Sinclair family.’
The thought of soon marrying into the Sinclair family and becoming the Young Madam of Rhonia’s wealthiest family...
...made Scarlett Jewel bloom with joy, her smile genuine for once.
"Thank you, Auntie."
Rose Gable’s expression was indifferent.
"You don’t have to thank me. I’m doing this entirely for the sake of my grandson."
A few days ago, she had already taken Scarlett Jewel to the hospital to determine the baby’s gender.
It was a boy.
This had made her ecstatic.
Who would have thought that just a few days after her joy, Claire Mercer would throw the Sinclair family into such turmoil.
Now, the family’s matriarch was being dragged through the mud by those netizens.
’How infuriating!’
However, something even more infuriating was yet to come.
She never could have imagined that the words she’d said to Claire Mercer that day had also been recorded.
Just as netizens were growing tired of cursing out Mrs. Sinclair, the recording was leaked.
Rose Gable’s harsh, cutting words once again ignited the netizens’ fury.
The wife of Rhonia’s richest man had actually used a fake marriage certificate to trick a young woman into slaving away for her son.
And in the end, she wasn’t even willing to give her a single cent.
She even treated her like a thief for just trying to pack her bags...
Many netizens put themselves in Claire’s shoes and began furiously cursing out Rose Gable.
"My god, the people in the Sinclair family are truly vicious."
"That poor girl was tricked with a fake certificate and took care of their son for two whole years. In the end, they didn’t give her a dime for her hard work and even treated her like a thief. The behavior of Rhonia’s wealthiest family has really opened the eyes of us mere mortals."
"In this entire, vast Sinclair family, I really can’t find a single decent person."
"A cheating husband, a mother-in-law who tricked her with a fake marriage certificate, a grandmother who hired someone to drug and rape... and then there’s her, all broken."
"What kind of bad luck does Ms. Mercer have? Being adopted by the Mercer family was unfortunate enough, and now she’s been schemed against by the Sinclairs like this..."
"For a moment, I can’t decide if Ms. Gable is more despicable, or if that old hag is."
"Ms. Gable was a daughter-in-law once too. I wonder if Mrs. Sinclair also used a fake marriage certificate to trick her."
"What can I say? Birds of a feather flock together. Verdict: The entire Sinclair family is evil."
