Chapter 13 " Oh ? Really , I'm going to be a father ? " His voice was as cold as a demon crawling out of hell , but Priscilla didn't notice anything unusual and continued , " Yes , I just got checked at the hospital . I'm already two weeks pregnant . But Eddie , are you really not going to give me a proper status ? " " Status !? " He let out a light laugh , his eyes full of mockery . " Fine , you came to me , I'll give you a status . " While waiting for Priscilla to arrive , he stared intently at the door , unable to stop his thoughts . If she hadn't repeatedly angered Anastasia back then , how would she have chosen to run away from home ? He had told her more than once that he could give her anything she wanted . Except for the title of Mrs. Copeland , which could only belong to Anastasia . It seemed that his affection had made her forget her own place . Thinking of this , Edward's eyes grew colder inch by inch . The moment the door was pushed open , he reached out and grabbed Priscilla by the throat . His grip tightened , and the way he looked at her was as if she were nothing but trash . Priscilla screamed , her eyes full of terror , her hands flailing helplessly in the air . The air in her chest grew thinner and thinner , and the lack of oxygen turned her face bluish- purple . She managed to gasp out broken pleas , " Ed ... Eddie , what's wrong ? Don't treat me like this ... I'm carrying your child ... " " My child !? " Edward looked at her increasingly pale face , a smile always lingering at the corner of his mouth . " Other than Anna , no one has the right to bear my child . " As soon as he finished speaking , his grip suddenly loosened , and Priscilla collapsed to the floor , gasping for breath . When she looked up at him again , tears streamed down her face as she sobbed , " Eddie , didn't you say you'd give me a status too ? Even though Anna is your wife , I've been with you for so long . You can't treat me like this . " 0.00 % 08:55 Chapter 13 Edward looked down at her with disdain , his voice as cold as iron . " Anna is gone . " 1288 Vouchers Just as her eyes lit up , he suddenly kicked her hard in the stomach . " Did you think the things you did to her would stay hidden forever ? Even if she's gone , even if she left me , the position of Mrs. Copeland will never be yours . " As he spoke , he squatted down , his cold fingertips lifting her chin , staring at her word by word . " Everything you did to Anna , now, I will make you experience it all . " She looked at the hundreds of wooden sticks before her , her body trembling uncontrollably as she desperately tried to retreat , but soon found herself cornered with nowhere to go . " No , I didn't mean to , Eddie , I just loved you too much . " But Edward waved his hand , ordering the bodyguards to tie her up tightly and bind her to a chair . Despair and helplessness instantly enveloped her . It was at this moment that Thomas suddenly pushed open the door , walked up to Priscilla , and stared at her . Seeing this , Edward frowned . He didn't want his son to witness such a scene and was about to tell him to leave . But unexpectedly , Priscilla seemed to grab onto a lifeline and screamed hoarsely at him , " Tom , Tom , save me ! Tell Dad to let me go ! Aren't you the one who likes me the most ? " But Thomas's expression remained calm . He frowned and stared at Priscilla's face for a long moment before turning to Edward and saying , " Dad , can we replace the wooden sticks with scalding hot iron rods ? " His voice was neither cold nor warm , but Edward heard it loud and clear . At the same time , it exploded in Priscilla's ears . Her eyes widened , a trace of despair flashing through them . She wanted to say something more , but when she met his equally indifferent gaze , she instantly fell silent . After saying this , Thomas tilted his head , returning to his innocent and naive demeanor as he walked up to Edward . He had always thought Priscilla was gentle and kind , the mother of his dreams .
