After Divorce: Remarried to a Tycoon with Twin Babies-Chapter 50: Exposing the Abortion Drug Conspiracy! The Scumbag Husband Learns Vivian Wants a Divorce!
"I’m sorry, because I haven’t completely become mute, and my voice is gradually recovering, so I’ve let you down."
"But that doesn’t stop me from discovering the secret of this decoction, does it?"
"This medicine not only doesn’t nourish the body, but it’s also extremely damaging to the female body, with severe side effects—it’s an abortion drug."
"So that night, Mom, you deliberately forced me to drink that bowl of abortion drug, and Austin was the executioner who worked with you."
"If it weren’t for me making Gia drink a bowl of that decoction today, which only caused her a bit of pain, I suppose you wouldn’t have impulsively knocked over Gia’s medicine bowl."
"Isn’t that right, Mom?"
Vivian’s words made Gia gasp, while Theodore’s gaze firmly fell upon Austin and Lillian.
"What have you done—?"
Austin knew he couldn’t justify himself no matter what, so he could only lower his head.
Lillian stood there rigidly, with a demeanor of shedding no tears until seeing the coffin.
Indeed, Vivian, that vile woman, deliberately wanted to expose this, so she forced everyone to drink this bowl of abortion drug!
Austin was filled with guilt.
He immediately squatted down and held Vivian’s knee, saying, "Vivian, it’s really not how you think."
"I didn’t know this medicine would harm you."
"I believed Mom when she said it was just a nourishing drink—"
"I’m also very sad that the child is gone."
"But as long as you’re alive, we can still have children in the future. You only drank one bowl that night, it won’t cause substantial damage to your body—"
Vivian let out a cold laugh.
Have children again?
Put another embryo between him and Zoe Monroe into her belly, suffer through ten months of pregnancy bitterness again, and endure the pain of childbirth?
She stared at Austin, her tone filled with ridicule: "Austin, there will be no more children between you and me."
"In your eyes, you don’t think I feel pain? That I don’t hold grudges? Am I an emotionless puppet doll to you?"
"What makes you think there is a future for us?"
After saying this, she pushed the man in front of her away.
Then she looked up angrily at Lillian: "We agreed, everyone drinks a bowl of medicine."
"Even if you want to spare Gia, I will not accept it!"
Lillian almost screamed: "Vivian, I’m your mother-in-law!"
"What more do you want? To completely ruin me and take revenge for yourself?"
"Now that you know the truth, I’ll tell you."
"I’ve been dissatisfied with you for a year, and couldn’t wait for you to leave The Grant Family."
"If you had the decency to divorce Austin earlier, would these things have happened today?"
"Indeed, Vivian, you are a venomous woman. Even knowing the truth, you want innocent Gia to drink this medicine!"
"I know you hate me now, but Gia is innocent, why do you want to harm Gia?"
Vivian: "Then why did you want to harm me?"
"Wasn’t I carrying your Grant Family bloodline? Wasn’t I also innocent?"
She thought she had always respected and honored her mother-in-law Lillian.
No matter how Lillian made things difficult for her, Vivian could swallow the grievances and endured them to maintain her marriage.
However, after knowing Austin’s true nature and the truth about her pregnancy, Vivian recognized everything.
Among The Grant Family, no one is worth it except Old Madam Grant!
Moreover, this time Lillian didn’t just want to cause her miscarriage, she possibly wanted Vivian to simply die in the storm that night...!
So at this moment, Vivian grasped Lillian’s weak spot and questioned her angrily.
Theodore, who listened from beginning to end and understood clearly, turned around and slapped Lillian.
"You foolish and vicious creature!"
He scolded Lillian with intense disgust, both in expression and words as she collapsed to the ground.
"Look at the mess you’ve created!"
"You clearly knew I valued the twins in Vivian’s belly, yet you caused her miscarriage and almost got her killed!"
"Do you think I’m dead? Those were your own grandchildren, and you still had the heart to do it! What were you thinking?"
"Do you know if these scandals get exposed, what a devastating blow they can be to our entire Grant Family?"
"Just because of your selfish desires, you’ve ruined everything!"
"Lillian, you have a peaceful life, but you insist on causing chaos?"
"Since that’s the case, none of us will have peace!"
Theodore yelled, still not satisfied, raising his hand wishing to slap Lillian a few more times.
It was Gia and Austin who rushed forward to shield her, preventing Theodore from hitting Lillian again.
"Dad, please calm down."
"Since things have already happened, hitting Mom won’t help."
Gia sobbed uncontrollably, and naturally harbored resentment against Vivian for causing all this.
"Vivian, after all, Mom is your mother-in-law, haven’t you vented your anger enough?"
"Do you really want to tear apart our family to make yourself happy?"
Austin was also filled with struggle, he quickly glanced at Vivian, but ultimately chose his mother.
"Vivian, she’s my mom."
"Even if there was wrong, does she deserve such humiliation?"
"Moreover, our priority now is to consider how to salvage the company’s image, how to remedy these matters."
"Vivian, you won’t be unreasonable at a time like this—"
Theodore didn’t need to look at Vivian’s expression, he just let out a low shout: "Enough!"
"Both of you shut up for me!"
"You never know the pain until the whip strikes your own body."
"First of all, you—Austin, your recent words and actions have proven your arrogance and conceit, not enough to shoulder the heavy responsibilities of The Grant Group."
"You act improperly, live flamboyantly, are careless in handling affairs, and are reckless in doing things!"
"Clearly, you just proved to the entire business circle that you are young and capable enough to help the group get listed, but then you get entangled in scandals that you can’t extricate yourself from. If you can’t even handle your own personal affairs, how can you convince the board and shareholders that you can lead the entire group in the future?"
"From today, you are demoted to a subsidiary for training. If you don’t win back the entire situation and regain everyone’s respect, don’t bother coming back!"
After Theodore finished speaking, he didn’t look at Austin’s pale face anymore and turned to Gia.
"There’s no time to waste; tomorrow you’re getting out of the country!"
"Reduce your allowance by seventy percent, no one is allowed to help you!"
"If I find out, everyone’s cards will be confiscated."
Gia almost cried out loud, temporarily too weak to stand.
Theodore didn’t look at Lillian any longer. Regretfully, he glanced at Vivian and sighed, saying: "This incident really aggrieved you."
"I’ll give you one hundred million. Fifty million to buy the life of a grandson, as compensation."
"Additionally, I’ll give you two percent of The Grant Group’s shares, and let’s end this matter here."
"Moreover, you need to immediately attend a press conference to clarify today’s online misunderstandings and rumors. How do you feel about these terms?"
One hundred million and two percent of The Grant Group’s shares?
It can be said that these are very attractive terms, and it’s the largest compensation Theodore can give Vivian.
In fact, these are offered under the misunderstanding that Vivian had indeed ’miscarried’.
Vivian was indeed tempted.
Now she felt a small sense of satisfaction deep down, knowing that Lillian would definitely not have an easy time ahead, and Austin would temporarily fall from grace...
Before Vivian could respond, Lillian was the first to object.
"Why give her so much?"
"I disagree!"
"It’s just a slipped miscarriage."
Vivian felt there was no need to further tear her face with The Grant Family.
More importantly, she still cared about Old Madam Grant.
"Can I meet with Grandma first?"
This time with her disappearance, Vivian feared most that Old Madam Grant would be worried about her.
Unexpectedly, when Theodore heard Vivian’s question, his face became even gloomier. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
"Ever since news of your disappearance came out, your grandma has been in a coma until now."
"She hasn’t woken up yet."
"Well then, you should see her first."
Vivian was then sent to the small villa in the backyard.
Jasmine was the first to rush over, her eyes swollen from crying floods: "Young Madam!! You’re finally back! Sob sob."
"Why do you look so much thinner?"
"In just a few days, the weight you had painstakingly gained has dropped again."
"Young Madam, I thought... I thought something bad had happened to you, my heart was almost dead with pain."
"Luckily you’re back, luckily you’re okay."
"By the way, Young Madam, the old lady hasn’t been feeling well these past few days. You should go see her quickly."
Mrs. Archer followed up: "Yes, maybe hearing Young Madam is back will help the old lady recover faster."
It was evident Mrs. Archer had also become quite haggard lately; it seemed the old lady’s condition was really not good!
Vivian hurried to Old Madam Grant’s bedside.
Seeing the old lady’s face covered with an oxygen mask, exuding an air of death, Vivian truly felt: Grandma was really close to the end.
"Grandma?"
"Grandma...?"
Old Madam Grant was hooked up to various devices, with no response.
Vivian held her emaciated hand, feeling a stab of pain in her heart.
Although everyone eventually faces the end of life, when that day truly comes, those close are still incredibly terrified of death and helpless about the impending loss.
Dr. Archer had just finished the check-up, and stood up saying: "Young Madam, the old lady has always liked you the most. This time your news of disappearance made her faint from sudden anger."
"If possible, please speak more with the old lady; perhaps it could stimulate her early recovery."
Vivian nodded, unhesitatingly speaking: "Grandma, I promised you, that’s why I didn’t mention divorce to Austin."
"We agreed to hold each other accountable."
"You supervise me to keep the promise, and I supervise you to stay alive."
"Please wake up, won’t you?"
"Otherwise, I’ll break my promise."
Austin, who had followed her there, was thunderstruck at her words, standing rigidly in place.
She said, what?
Divorce?
Did she actually consider divorcing him?
Knowing this truth made Austin’s face even grimmer than when he heard his father demoting him to a subsidiary.
In a daze, leaning against the door, he managed to hold his composure.
"Vivian, what promise-breaking?"
