Chapter 388


    “Mr. Grimm…” Carmel Basil could not help weeping.


    Although she knew that Jaydon would never marry her, after being with him for so long, she still


    fantasized that he would have a trace of true love for her.


    “Don’t talk so much. I won’t let you give birth to this child. If I had known that you were such a scheming


    woman, I wouldn’t have touched you at all.”


    This sentence hurt Carmel’s self–esteem thoroughly.


    “Alright! Since you insist on not having this child. I agree to abort it.


    “However, you have to give me 20 million dors! And you have to guarantee that I’ll be the female


    lead in all thepany’s films.”


    Faced with Carmel’s exorbitant demand, Jaydon could not help giving a sneer. “Hah! Are you nuts?”


    “Mr. Grimm. With your worth, you should have no problem forking out 20 million dors. Anyway, if


    you don’t give me the money, I’ll give birth to the child.


    *After the child is born. I’ll bring it to Mr. Tim Grimm. I don’t believe that he won’t acknowledge this


    grandchild!”


    When Jaydon heard this, he suddenly felt as if he had swallowed a fly. He had really misjudged the


    woman who used to be so


    obedient in front of him.


    She had been pretending all along.


    “If you insist on giving birth, then it’s up to you! I won’t take responsibility anyway, and I won’t give you


    a single cent for living expenses.”


    Carmel was so angry that her heart hurt. She began sobbing sadly. “Mr. Grimm, don’t you have any


    feelings for me and the child? I’ve been with you for three years after all. Even if you raised a cat or


    dog, you should have some feelings for it.


    “Don’t push me too far. If you push me too far, I’ll fight you to the death.”


    When Jaydon heard that, he let out a deep breath.


    He might be a yboy but he was not a ruthless, cold–hearted man.


    Although he had no love for Carmel, she had been with him for so long after all. He could not possibly


    not give her a single


    cent.


    “I’ll give you 10 million aspensation. Go and abort the child immediately.”


    Carmel was stunned and cried even harder. “Mr. Grimm, I don’t want money. Can you let me give birth


    to the child?


    “I swear I won’t disrupt your marriage…”


    “Don’t say anymore. I’ll take you to the hospital now and get rid of the child.


    “Carmel, you’re still very young! There are still many opportunities to meet better men. Don’t let a child


    ruin your whole life! Jaydon rejected Carmel’s request firmly.


    … Alright! Since you don’t want this child, I’ll abort it! Transfer the money!”


    Jaydon frowned deeply. “No, I want to go to the hospital with you personally.”


    “What if I abort the child and you don’t give me the money?”


    “Am I that kind of person? Don’t worry. The moment you get on the gynecological chair, I’ll transfer the


    money to you immediately.”


    When Carmel heard this, she swallowed once resentfully.


    10 million dors for a child wasn’t really a bad deal to her.


    “Let me think about it!”


    As the two were talking, the servant Zena came in again.


    “What is it?”


    Zena nced at Carmel and said somewhat nervously, “Mr. Grimm, Ms. Haynes is here!”


    When Jaydon heard this, his skin tensed up. “What did you say?”


    “Ms. Haynes is here. She’s outside the entrance now.”


    Jaydon hurriedly looked out of the window. Sure enough, Joanna Haynes was standing in the


    courtyard.

    Fortunately, people outside could not see the people inside the house through the window ss.


    “Why did Joann suddenlye over? Go entertain her first.”


    “Okay, Mr. Grium.”


    Joanna rarely took the initiative toe to his ce. Jaydon did not expect Joanna toe to his


    house in person today!


    If she saw Carmel Basil, the consequences would be unimaginable.


    “Carmel, go into the room immediately, and don’te out!” Jaydon said as he grabbed Carmel’s arm


    and dragged her towards one of the side bedrooms.


    “Mr. Grimm, you’re hurting me!”


    “Hurry up! Don’t talk so much nonsense.” Jaydon pushed her into the side bedroom and locked the


    door from outside.


    The moment he finished doing this, Zena led Joanna in.


    Jaydon subconsciously straightened his clothes and walked toward Joanna. “Joann, why are you


    here?”


    Joanna looked at Jaydon and smiled gently. “I saw that you looked troubledst night. I was afraid that


    something had happened to you, so I specially came to visit you today.”


    Jaydon’s two eyes darkened and he smiled awkwardly. “Oh, I caught a cold yesterday. I’m much better


    after sleeping one night!”


    “Why is this ce so messy?”


    “Er… I identally broke the ss just now!” Jaydon said as a guilty look shed across his eyes.


    When Joanna heard this, she looked at Jaydon even more suspiciously!


    She kept getting the feeling that his reaction was strange!


    Jaydon looked into her eyes and gave a hollowugh. “Joann, I haven’t eaten yet. I’m a little hungry


    now. Let’s go out for


    lunch!”


    “… Alright!”

    “Then I’ll go upstairs and change.”


    “Mm–hmm!”


    Jaydon was afraid that Joanna would find out that Carmel was also here. He just wanted to take


    Joanna out of the house quickly.


    tter! A sound was heard from the side bedroom.


    “What’s that sound?” Joanna heard themotion and subconsciously walked toward the side


    bedroom.


    Right at this moment, Jaydon hurried out of the room.


    Although he said that he was changing, he only put on an outer jacket. “Joann, I’m done changing. We


    can go now.”


    Joanna was surprised. … Oh, alright!”


    Jaydon was afraid that Joanna wanted to investigate further. He quickly put his arm around her


    shoulder and they walked. toward the door together.


    “What do you want to eat?”


    “Anything is fine!”


    After the couple left, Zena quickly took out the key and unlocked the door to the side bedroom.


    “Miss Basil, are you alright?”


    “Hmph!” Carmel was so angry that her face turned purple. She left in a huff.


    Jaydon drove away with Joanna.


    Along the way, Jaydon kept trying to make small talk to case the awkwardness, but Joanna could still


    see the anxiety in his


    eyes.


    Something thorny must have happened to Jaydon, but he didn’t dare to tell her!


    The more he didn’t tell her, the more uneasy Joanna felt.


    “Jay, are you really alright?”


    “Joann, you’re thinking too much. What can possibly happen to me?”


    “Oh, that’s good if there’s nothing. I’m just worried…” Joanna suddenly stopped mid–sentence.

    She was really worried that Bruce had been stirring up trouble behind her back again!


    However, judging from Jaydon’s reaction, it seemed to have nothing to do with Bruce.


    “Don’t worry. Just focus on being a bride!”


    “Mm–hmm!”


    After their meal, the two of them still had to go to the hotel and prepare invitations and other things


    rted to the wedding. Although there were servants helping them, it was better that they prepared


    some of the detailed stuff personally.


    The two of them were busy the entire day.


    The matters rted to the wedding were basically all in order.


    In the evening…


    Beep! Beep! Beep!


    Joanna’s phone rang again and the call was from Bruce again.


    “Jay, I have to take this call!”


    “Mm–hmm. Go ahead!”


    “Hello!” Joanna walked to the bathroom and answered the call.


    Bruce’s sullen voice rang out from the other end of the line. “Joanna, where are you now?”
