Chapter 1337
Jessica tried her best to follow Sonia''s line of sight, which inadvertently fell on her stomach. An
abyss of terror hit her so hard that her face drained of all color. She stared at Sonia in disbelief and
questioned, "What are you trying to do? Did you do something untoward to me?!"
Sonia merely rolled her eyes upon hearing her piercing shrieks. "Why''d you think so?"
Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!
"Don''t try to deny it! How could I be pregnant if it weren''t for you?!" Jessica finally lost it and yelled
in horror, "Sonia, you broke thew! You broke thew!" She was genuinely afraid of what was
about to happen to her. She should have never returned; Sonia was a lunatic who was capable of
doing anything to achieve her goals.
The thought of the fate she might be facing shed across her mind, and she began sobbing
uncontrobly.
Sonia looked away in disgust when she saw her stepsister''s snot and tears mixing together into a
repulsive clump. There was no way she could stand that scene—it was just such an eyesore.
"Well, contrary to your certainty, I didn''t do what you thought I did," she pursed her red lips and
intoned coldly.
Just as she expected, Jessica paused mid-wail, and a gleam of hope arose in her heart when she
heard Sonia''s exnation. Nheless, after she experienced such a rollercoaster of emotions in
such a short time, she could not believe what she had heard and wanted to make sure. "What are
you talking about? You didn''t make me…"
"I can''t do such vicious things." Sonia rolled her eyes at the pathetic sight of her stepsister. "I
despise you, and there''s no point in hiding that I utterly loathe you with my entire being. But as a
woman, I will never do things that will harm another woman. After all, I''m not like you. You would
definitely seize the chance to do such a thing, aren''t I right, my dearest sister?" She stared at
Jessica coldly and huffed scornfully.
Jessica''s eyes flickered, and finally, she tilted her head to the side guiltily to avoid Sonia''s piercing
gaze. She could not deny what Sonia had said because she was indeed the kind of person who
would do anything to reach her goals, even though it was illegal. Indeed, she had never been a
good person. She could not care less if the other person was a woman or man; she would employ
the most painful way to get her revenge on the other person if they offended her. So, as long as the
end justifies the means, she wouldn''t hesitate to hire someone to rape the other.
"Hah. You are truly the worst humanity has to offer," Sonia regarded her step-sister, knowing that
she had guessed correctly, and snorted coldly. "Although I won''t kill you, you''re na?ve to think that
you can only conceive after sleeping with another man. Have you not heard about test tube
babies?"
Jessica''s expression changed drastically. "Test tube?"
However, Sonia merely gave her a cool stare, and Jessica finally realized what she meant. Her
heart started pumping harshly against her chest, and her back was drenched in a cold sweat.
"You''re trying to make me conceive via test tube?"
Honestly, Sonia loved what she saw, and she milked it for its worth as she gave Jessica a sweet
smile that didn''t even hide the malicious intent behind it. "That''s right, my foolish sister. We have
completed the process, and the embryo has been nted in your uterus."
"What?!" Jessica well and truly lost it when she heard Sonia''s words. She parted her lips to hurl
abuse at Sonia on autopilot as her mind went nk. Her panic was so apparent that it was evident
that she was unable to ept reality for what it was.
It was not until a whileter that she suddenly regained her senses and red ferociously at Sonia.
She looked like she wanted to tear Sonia from limb to limb and eat her alive. Her body shook
violently, and there was undisguised hatred in her voice as she roared, "Sonia! How dare you treat
me like cattle? How dare you?! I''m going to kill you! Let me go, you b*tch! I''m going to kill you! How
dare you dare to make me conceive an unknown man''s bastard! I''m going to f*cking kill you!"
Sonia quickly took a step back and distanced herself from Jessica as Jessica tried to lunge at her in
a fit of madness. She did not want to get too close to Jessica, even if she knew that Jessica could
not break free from the rope tying her down to the bed.
Tim looked at Jessica in disgust and asked Sonia, "Should we sedate her?"
"Nah." She shook her head and dismissed his suggestion. "She''s already with child, so taking any
medicine is not good for the embryo. Anyway, she''s basically shackled down to the bed. So, I''m not
the least bit concerned that she would be able to hurt herself and harm the fetus in the process."
"Aaaaahhhhhhh!" Jessica howled as she overheard their conversation. Never in a million years
would she have thought that Sonia would be so despicable and shameless that she would make her
conceive a child just like that.
"Why?! Why are you doing this to me?!" Jessica red daggers at Sonia. "Is it because you''re
infertile? Is that why you got me pregnant in your ce?"
Jessica paused suddenly as if she thought of something and slightly calmed down. Wait… that''s
right. Sonia can''t conceive. So naturally, she needs a surrogate mother. The child is definitely not
hers because only a male could provide sperm.
It was self-evident who this man was. In other words, she was bearing Toby''s child! Jessica''s eyes
gleamed with greed and excitement as she imagined Toby''s handsome face and wealth. She even
started snickering when she arrived at that conclusion.
Tim raised his eyebrows slightly, confused by her sudden change in demeanor. "What''s wrong with
her?"
Nheless, Sonia knew Jessica very well. She knew precisely what Jessica was thinking based
on what Jessica had said just now. Thus, Sonia sneered as she answered, "She probably thinks
that the child in her belongs to Toby."
Tim couldn''t help the sudden twitch at the corner of his lips as he shuddered in distaste. He did not
expect Jessica''s imagination to run this wild. "Why would she even think such a thing?"
Sonia merely shrugged her shoulders as she responded nonchntly, "Well, she thinks that I can''t
conceive, and because I want her to get pregnant, she instinctively thought that she is bearing Toby
and my child."
He finally understood what was going on in Jessica''s head. So, he didn''t hide his contempt for
Jessica and stopped talking.
"It''s just such a pity, though. She is only pregnant with an ordinary man''s child." Sonia looked at her
stepsister with a sinister smile, and her voice grew louder.
Of course, Jessica heard her crystal clear and was absolutely stunned by this turn of events. She
could no longerugh as she stammered, "W-What did you just say? Did you just say that this child
does not belong to you and Toby?"
"Uh… yeah? Isn''t that obvious?" Sonia gave her a mocking smile and crossed her arms across her
chest. "I have never said that I can''t have a baby. Besides, even if I can''t, I would never allow
another woman to be the mother of my child. So, I can only say that you''re truly an idiot to ever
expect such a thing. I can tell just by looking at your greedy little rat face that you n to use your
status as that child''s biological mother to trap Toby. You want to use this opportunity to beg us to
pay for your daily expenses. Oh wait, how could I forget about that interesting little possibility of you
nning to rece me?"
Jessica''s expression froze as Sonia exposed her schemes in an instant. She looked at Sonia as if
she was looking at a monster and stumbled over her words, "Y—you—" It was evident that she
didn''t expect Sonia to catch on.
Sonia had a disdainful smile on her face as she continued twisting the knife further, "Unfortunately
for you, your idea is doomed to fail. The child''s father is just an ordinary man with a clean family
background and a likable personality. Only the genes of such a man may prevent your child from
bing as atrocious as you. Speaking of which, you should thank me. After all, I helped you
improve your future generations'' genes in one fell stroke. Well? I''m waiting."
"Thank you? Thank you?! You motherf*cker." Jessica swore at Sonia as she shattered her wishful
thinking into pieces. "What do you want? Why do I need to be pregnant?" She could not understand
Sonia''s actions.
"Let''s take a quick trip down memoryne, hm? I am not the Reed Family''s biological daughter and
need a Reed heir to inherit Paradigm Co. That is the reason behind your forced pregnancy. After all,
you are the only biological daughter of the Reeds."
So, that''s why. That''s why she needs me.
"So, that''s your n! Let me tell you, Sonia. Your goal will nevere true! I will kill this thing and
never give birth to it! You hear me! Never!" As Jessica was screeching at Sonia, she struggled
harshly against her restraints as if trying to abort the child with her rough movements.
Regardless, Sonia remained as cool as a cucumber as she looked at Jessica like she was a fool.
"Now, now. Why are you so excited? Have you forgotten about your basic education? We just
nted the embryo, which means it hasn''t started to develop in your body. So, you can''t even im
that you are pregnant now. So, you''ll only be hurting yourself, foolish sister. Eventually, you''ll just tire
yourself out, and the embryo will grow within you with or without your say."
As soon as Jessica heard Sonia''s remarks, she was instantly dumbfounded.
Sonia yed up her kind sister persona by saying, "And don''t you worry. I will have someone look
after you 24 hours a day. When the embryo develops, it will grow into a healthy child. Suffice it to
say, your dream of aborting the baby through various means will never seed. Oh, by the way,
you will remain in this vi for a year until the baby is born."
After she finished speaking, she turned and left without hesitation. Naturally, Tim followed her,
seeing no point in lingering.
Jessica looked at their backs. If looks could kill, they''d be lying dead at her feet. Her eyes were
bloodshot from all her caterwauling. The veins in her neck bulged as she screamed for Sonia. s,
Sonia turned a deaf ear to her enraged screams and left the vi with a car.
