Elder Kinston's Exclusive Sweet Wife-Chapter 786 - 816: Making Threats
Seeing Brother Kuan back in the office, Indigo Quigley maliciously said to Alice Conley, "No wonder Director Howards dumped you, turns out you were two-timing, pregnant with some kid from who knows where. Director Howards would be a fool to still want you."
Indigo Quigley was entirely guessing based on her assumptions about the reason for Alice Conley and Dorian Howards’ breakup.
Alice Conley looked at Indigo Quigley’s malicious face, her anger turning into a cold smile, speaking in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Well, I’m sorry to disappoint you, but the child I’m carrying is Director Howards’. If I happen to become Mrs. Howards someday, you might be in trouble. So, I suggest you don’t provoke me right now, or your family might not be able to protect you. The lifestyle your family is used to just might have to revert back to what it used to be!"
Upon hearing this, Indigo Quigley’s face turned pale. If Alice Conley’s child... truly was Dorian Howards’, then she might indeed become Mrs. Howards, riding on the child’s status.
She bit her lip in frustration, returned to her seat, yet dared not say anything more.
Mabel Quinn curiously asked her friend, "What did you say to her just now that made her unable to speak?"
"I just told her the child I’m carrying is Dorian Howards’, and she better not mess with me, or if I really become Mrs. Howards someday, she won’t be able to handle it." Alice Conley shrugged, "Anyway, anyone can talk tough!"
Mabel Quinn chuckled, though it seemed her friend’s personality had always been so straightforward. It’s just as well; at least Indigo Quigley now had some apprehension.
Meanwhile, in the president’s office of Howards Group, Alice’s parents finally met Dorian Howards for the first time and learned of his true identity. He was not just an ordinary employee, but the president of a corporation.
A status they had never even imagined.
Their daughter... was once actually dating such a person, and now, she was carrying this man’s child... The couple exchanged a glance, both showing an indescribable emotion in their eyes.
It was also today that they made up their minds to call Dorian Howards, saying they wanted to talk, and only after arriving at the address he provided, did they come here.
"Mr. and Mrs., I wonder what you want to discuss with me," Dorian Howards began, his face still displaying a gentle elegance, though it also gave the older couple a sense of subtle estrangement and coldness.
Perhaps this was the real Dorian Howards, the president of Howards Group, not the gentle and approachable little Dorian who used to visit their home.
After a long pause, Alice’s father finally spoke, "Did you and Alice really break up?"
"Yes, we did," Dorian Howards nodded, his expression showing little surprise, as he expected that Alice Conley’s parents visiting him was most likely related to Alice Conley.
"But Alice is pregnant with your child now," Alice’s mother couldn’t help but say, "Are you really going to let Alice be an unwed mother? How can you, as a man, be so irresponsible?"
Dorian Howards calmly looked at the two, "I know Alice is pregnant. As for the responsibilities, I won’t shirk them. I’ve already told Alice, whether she wants to terminate the pregnancy or give birth to the child, it’s up to her. If she chooses to have the baby, who will raise the child is also her choice. If she wants to raise the child, I will provide child support. If she doesn’t want to, I can take care of the child without her needing to pay anything. If she has any financial needs, she can also tell me, and I can provide for them."
