Chapter 104: Chapter 104: Who Can Control Iris Crawford, Anyway?

Seems like Silvan Caine still remembers Seraphina Colbert.

Iris Crawford immediately stepped forward and replied, "Yes, that’s right, it’s her, her name is Seraphina Colbert..."

"Even her name sounds so pitiful."

Silvan Caine’s eyes were complicated, "So what, why tell me her name? I don’t have the time to remember an unnecessary woman."

Iris Crawford was taken aback, then said angrily, "How can you say that!"

"I was quite gentle with her," Silvan Caine said dismissively, waving his hand. "Because she kept crying. Women who got into my bed before, did any of them cry? They all laughed till their mouths crooked! But she was the only one who was all whiny and tearful, as if she had suffered the greatest grievance!"

"Wouldn’t she feel wronged!" Iris Crawford defended Seraphina, "It wasn’t voluntary!"

"How was she wronged?" Silvan Caine said amusingly, "I’m so handsome, rich, and good in bed, does she feel wronged? She must not know what’s good for her!"

Iris Crawford muttered angrily, "Don’t assume every woman has an interest in you. Isn’t your high self-esteem tiring!"

She thought Silvan Caine might have a bit of humanity! Didn’t expect him to still view women as tools in private! Are all wealthy men in this world like this?

Iris instinctively glanced at Lachlan Wyatt, who pointed at himself, indicating, "Why are you looking at me?"

So Silvan Caine also pointed at Lachlan and said, "Don’t think too highly of those women who climbed into my bed. It’s all mutual needs. They are not any good either. You don’t believe it? Ask Lachlan."

Lachlan jumped up like he had springs in him, "Why ask me? I’ve never been to bed with you!"

"..." Silvan Caine cursed internally and then said through gritted teeth, "So, this woman I slept with is pregnant, right?"

"Yes." Iris Crawford looked at Silvan Caine expressionlessly, all her good impressions of him fully worn away. "Congratulations on gaining an illegitimate child."

Silvan Caine sneered, "The Caine Family is large and wealthy enough to raise it. I’m just afraid this woman wants to rely on a son to wield power in our family, then she should give up that idea..."

Before he finished, Iris also smiled and clapped, "How thoughtfully you’ve planned it. Rest assured, this illegitimate child won’t live long."

Silvan Caine noticed the change in Iris’s attitude, "What do you mean?"

"In a few days when Seraphina’s body recovers, she will abort the child."

Iris stared at Silvan’s handsome face and lazily lifted her eyelids, "To think I had expectations of you, but now it seems even if Seraphina was with you, she’d just be moving from Jude Hawthorne’s tiger’s den into your wolf’s lair. Neither of you is any good, so how could you possibly be good to that innocent child. The child will be aborted."

Silvan Caine froze completely, never expecting to hear such words from Iris’s mouth.

This didn’t seem like something a woman would say.

Aren’t women supposed to see children as life itself? Moreover, this child is the Caine Family’s illegitimate son, if born, there’d be wealth and glory, what wouldn’t they have?!

Why did Iris suddenly change her mind to abort this child?

"Do you look down on our family?" Silvan Caine was a bit angry, not really because he was upset the child would be aborted, but because he heard accusation and disdain in Iris’s tone, feeling his dignity as a man was challenged, which stirred some anger, "If this child is born, the Caine Family will definitely nurture him well. Although the mother is not a good person, I still acknowledge this bloodline. As for her, I’ll just pay her off, after all, you came here this time to ask for money for her, right? Considering you all, I could give her an extra house, just don’t let her bother me again."

"Who the hell wants your money."

Iris laughed so hard she almost rocked back and forth, "I have my own money, and even if the child takes my last name, it’s fine. With your attitude that doesn’t value people, you expect women to bear children for you? Seraphina will abort this child, and following me is better than with you. As for saying she’s not a good person? All I can say is, the women climbing into your bed and you are both despicable, equally so. And stop saying those women aren’t good - you’re low yourself, and still expect a girl from a respectable family to fancy you? You’re killing me!"

You’re killing me!

Who under the sky dares speak to the Caine Family heir like this?

Who dares expose their true nature so bluntly?

They are all despicable! The ones who’d do anything to climb up and those who trample others’ dignity, all despicable people!

Silvan Caine’s face turned a shade whiter!

"Iris, do you think just because Lachlan is here I won’t have a problem with you?"

He stood up straight away!

This was actually a warning for Iris to back down, but what happened?

"Sure do."

Iris Crawford uttered two words from her lips.

She said yes.

"I am indeed relying on Lachlan Wyatt being present, so you dare not do anything to me. What about it?" Iris crossed her arms, a mocking look in her eyes, "I have someone backing me up, do you dare to touch me?"

Silvan Caine clenched his fingers tightly, "Since you’re so capable, why do you need to come to me to discuss getting rid of that child?"

"Discuss?" Iris seemed to have heard a joke, waving her hand dismissively beside her mouth, implying how amusing he was. Her frivolous gesture instantly fanned the flames of Silvan’s anger, but as Iris finished laughing, her expression vanished in an instant. In that moment, an endless chill swept through her eyes, her emotions changing at an absurd pace. She lowered her voice and said, "You got one thing wrong, Silvan Caine, I’ve come to inform you, not to discuss. You are the same kind of person as Jude Hawthorne, and I don’t have to give you any more face. However, you still have to cover the cost of the abortion, including the expenses for Seraphina Colbert’s postpartum care. Of course, she should have the best arrangements. These bills will be sent to The Caine Family. Remember to pay up."

How could there be a woman so shameless, deciding to terminate the pregnancy autonomously, and even sending the abortion bill to their doorstep!

Don’t other women feel despair and shame, wishing for no one to know? In society, if people found out about a woman having an abortion, they’d only point fingers at her. How could someone openly announce it so brazenly?

Iris Crawford was about to write a report and hold an awards ceremony!

Silvan Caine couldn’t sit still, now standing and trembling with rage at Iris. Even the servants nearby felt offended. Eager to avenge their master and put on a show in front of him, a young maid stepped forward to shove Iris, "What are you to talk to our Young Master Thorne like this? Young Master Thorne granting to keep the child is already a grand favor!"

Silvan was stunned, not expecting the servant to step forward, and even more unexpected was Iris’s reaction. She immediately slapped the maid, "Being so loyal to Silvan Caine, is he giving you shares in The Caine Family? Huh? From the beginning, I sensed something different in your eyes towards your master. What, are you also hoping to climb into his bed, taking advantage of the rumor about a woman being pregnant to satisfy your own private desires?"

The maid felt humiliated, covering her face as she said, "How can you hit me! I belong to Young Master Thorne!"

"If you were Young Master Thorne’s dog, I wouldn’t hit you, because dogs being ignorant is too normal." Iris’s eyes were filled with murderous intent, "But you’re a person, you deserve this, if a dog is ignorant, you mean to tell me you can’t tell right from wrong either? Do you think having a child with Silvan Caine is a blessing? He treats you like a hen laying eggs! Does he have even a shred of genuine respect for anyone?"

"There’s no need to respect women like that!" The maid clutched a handkerchief, forced to the brink, she raised her voice, "Don’t think that woman is so innocent, she lost her virginity a long time ago. Everyone knows that woman from The Hawthorne Family, always sent by the Second Young Master Hawthorne to various men’s beds!"

"You—!"

"Shut up."

Before Iris could respond, Lachlan Wyatt’s cold voice had already pressed down heavily.

Hearing Lachlan speak, the maid shivered with fear. She had indeed become emotionally agitated because of Iris’s words, saying how the women climbing into Young Master Thorne’s bed were as cheap as him. Those words made her relate to herself, feel personally attacked, which led to her irrational frenzy.

Now, as she thought back, she realized she had embarrassed herself in front of Young Master Thorne.

The maid clutched her handkerchief and trembled, turning to Silvan Caine with tears in her eyes, "Young Master Thorne, don’t be angry. I was... I was just caught in the moment, I didn’t mean to provoke your friend..."

Silvan’s expression was indifferent, as if even if the woman sacrificed her life for him in the next second, he wouldn’t bat an eye, "Indeed, you really have caused me a lot of trouble. Clean up and leave on your own later."

The maid was in despair on the spot, "No, Young Master Thorne, please give me another chance. I won’t speak out of turn again..."

However, Silvan paid no attention to the maid’s pleas and instead looked at Iris, his eyes burning with anger, "Where is that woman?"

Iris said, "Who are you asking about?"

"I’m talking about that woman!"

"Her name is Seraphina Colbert," Iris enunciated slowly, "Speak her name properly."

"Hiss!"

Silvan took a deep breath, glancing at Lachlan Wyatt beside him.

That look conveyed the meaning—if it weren’t for you bringing her here, I would have killed her by now.

But Lachlan shrugged his shoulders and returned a helpless look: She’s got that kind of temper, I can’t control her. If you’re so capable, go ahead and control her.

Silvan felt his scalp tingle, since when could Lachlan put up with a woman like that? 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

So he tried calling Seraphina Colbert’s name, "I want to see that woman now."

"I’ve already said the child will be aborted, why go see her? Just transfer the money." Iris handed over a slip of paper, "This is her bank account information, just transfer the money here. She’s recuperating in the hospital, you don’t need to go there. Anyway, you look down on her, going to her ward would be a bad omen."

What bad luck.

Can anyone handle this woman already!

Lachlan expressed, he just likes this feisty little minx, Iris.

Silvan grimaced insincerely, "Wasn’t it you who scolded me, Sister Iris? As a man, shouldn’t I personally meet the mother of my unborn child?"
