My Ex-Husband Always Knew That I Had Cheated on Him-Chapter 244 Leave the Mother, Keep the Child

On the sofa, Soren Johnson sat upright, gripping the cane in his hands, his face stern as he looked at Gabriella Dyer kneeling before him.

Next to him sat Lorelei, her demeanor softer in comparison. Unlike Soren’s severe expression, her gaze carried a hint of kindness and warmth.

But even so, she kept her eyes fixed on Gabriella without saying a word.

Alexander Johnson stood behind them, silently observing Gabriella kneeling before his grandparents.

After so many years, he had long grown accustomed to the façade Gabriella presented.

But Chloe Simpson—when she witnessed Gabriella kneeling the moment she entered—was utterly and completely shocked.

After all, who was Gabriella Dyer? She was none other than the famous Mrs. Johnson of Kyohai.

Now, the matriarch of the Johnson Family, the wife of the Johnson Clan Group’s chairman.

For such a woman to kneel the moment she walked in—this aristocratic family truly lived up to all the tales surrounding it.

Regardless of whether Soren or Lorelei spoke, Gabriella remained kneeling on the ground and began to speak.

"Father, Mother, Alexander is still young and impulsive. Please don’t hold it against him. They say that a lack of discipline is the father’s fault, but Liam has been so busy over the years, he didn’t have the capacity to oversee everything. Alexander’s behavior that caused this disaster is ultimately due to my failure as a mother."

"Please rest assured, the moment I saw the trending topic, I had someone handle it immediately. By now, it should already be taken down. As for the Wilson Family, I will personally visit them and give them an explanation."

"Even if the marriage proposal falls through, it must not affect the collaboration between our two families. As for Miss Simpson—no matter what, the child she is carrying is the bloodline of the Johnson Family. This child must be kept!"

Gabriella spoke each word clearly, her logic impeccable, leaving no room for error or oversight.

The moment she heard the news, she had immediately set all the necessary measures into motion. By now, everything had been perfectly arranged.

And yet, after everything she said, neither Soren nor Lorelei showed any reaction.

"..."

Gabriella unconsciously clenched her fists tighter, continuing to kneel on the floor, waiting in silence.

Soren Johnson, after hearing everything Gabriella said, shifted his gaze from Gabriella to Chloe Simpson. Finally, when his eyes landed on Alexander, he studied him closely for a few moments before speaking up.

"Alexander, how do you intend to handle this matter?" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Grandfather, I think Mother is right, and she’s handled it very well. Let’s proceed exactly as she suggested."

Alexander frowned slightly, glancing at Gabriella who remained kneeling on the ground. He then respectfully nodded his head toward his grandfather.

Soren raised his eyebrows and let out a small cough. "Oh? According to your mother’s plan, is it?"

"Leaving aside what the Wilson Family might say, the matter of the trending topic is indeed something the Johnson Family has the power to resolve easily. But when it comes to Miss Simpson, there might be a slight issue."

"Your mother is absolutely correct about one thing: the child is the Johnson Family’s bloodline. It must be preserved! There is no justification for abandoning the offspring of the Johnson Family. But as for Miss Simpson..."

"I’ve heard about the situation between the two of you. Over all these years, you’ve never dated seriously or been involved with other women. Your mother’s concerns are valid, even if her actions may have overstepped."

"But everything she’s done has been for your own good. Still, Miss Simpson and our Johnson Family will always be worlds apart. You should understand this very clearly. The person you are meant to be with, the one you will marry, could never be someone like Miss Simpson. So, as your mother has suggested—keep the child, but let the mother go."

Soren’s voice was calm, devoid of any significant emotional fluctuations from beginning to end.

Yet with just a few short sentences, he utterly shattered Chloe Simpson’s entire world.

Keep the child, but let the mother go!!!
