Chapter 1052


    Chapter 1052 I Will Leave With Him


    It was still unclear who the father of Rainie''s baby was.


    Since she was still in the early stage of pregnancy, the doctors couldn''t perform an amniocentesis on


    her for paternity testing.


    As such, before a test could be conducted, Rainie would have to swallow her pride and tough it out at


    the Shurmer residence.


    However, Bailey also quickly realized something else. Hmm... Now that Mason has shown up, things


    might be different, though. If he insists on taking back Rainie, it might upset her and make her even


    more determined to terminate the pregnancy. Once the baby is gone, the secrets hidden in the


    shadows will never be revealed. Sadly, if the truth remains buried, she''ll have to bear the stigma of


    seducing her fiancé''s cousin for the rest of her life. That also means she might never have a future with


    Sylvester...


    With that thought in mind, she quickly turned to the housekeeper standing outside. “I need you to go to


    Mr. Zeke''s quarters and tell him to find a way to hold Ms. Yeanisky back. No matter what, don''t let her


    head to the front yard.”


    Yes... So long as we prevent Mason from seeing Rainie, she won''t be harmed. Then, a week or two


    With that, Bailey strode toward the door.


    Karina stood rooted to the spot, her expression cold and cryptic as she watched the woman''s retreating


    figure.


    She was envious of how Bailey was protecting Rainie, and at the same time, she felt a feeling of deep


    hatred.


    Not only does Rainie have a lowly status, but her family also has zero influence and backing. If I


    wanted toy a finger on her, it''d be as easy as pie! s, that b*tch is clever... Shetched onto


    someone as powerful as Bailey, so now she has the confidence to go up against me. Oh, Bailey...


    You''re a sharp-witted woman, and I hope you stay that way. Don''t be so foolish as to get yourself


    involved in this mess! Otherwise, I''ll have no choice but to make you my target.


    After leaving the living room, Bailey headed straight to the front yard.


    Even from a distance, she could see a young man standing imposingly outside the ornate gate, nked


    by several bodyguards.


    Perhaps out of respect for his status, the security guards didn''t dare to drive him away. Instead, they


    stood dutifully at the entrance to prevent him from barging in.


    “What on earth is the Shurmer family up to? Why are you guys keeping my woman and not letting her


    go? What''s the meaning of this?” Mason scolded. “If she weren''t pregnant, I''d have no problem with


    her staying outside for a bit longer. However, she''s now expecting, and I want to bring her home! If


    something untoward happened to her, would the Shurmers be able to bear the responsibility for it?”


    The head of security nodded and replied, “Mr. Mason, I''ve already sent someone to inform the relevant


    parties. Let''s wait for them toe over before we discuss further. In any case, please know that I''m


    only following the rules. If there has been any oversight on my part, I kindly ask for your understanding.


    I''m sure the Shurmer family will provide you with an exnation in due course.”


    Unfortunately, that didn''t quell Mason''s anger. “I don''t need any exnation from the Shurmers! I only


    want my woman and son back. So what if the Shurmer family has wealth and power? That doesn''t give


    them the right to bully me by holding my wife and child captive!”


    Just then, Bailey''s voice rang out from the distance. “Oh, I had no idea Rainie got married and had a


    child. Say, Mr. Mason, when did you and Rainie hold the wedding?”


    There was a distinct mocking tone in her voice, and it instantly captured everyone''s attention.


    The head of security instinctively took a couple of steps back and stood silently aside with his


    subordinates.


    As Mason squinted at the young woman across from him, his eyes suddenly lit up with astonishment.


    He was a scion from the Golden Triangle region and spent most of his time immersed in a world of


    pleasure. His strongest suits, without a doubt, were eating, drinking, and making merry.


    Naturally, he had been with many women, and each was impressive in her own right. However,


    meeting someone as stunningly beautiful and aloof as Bailey was a first for him.


    Mason had seen pictures of Bailey in magazines numerous times before, but none could perfectly


    portray the ethereal beauty and elegance she exuded in real life.


    “Ah, so it''s Ms. Jefferson. I''ve long heard of your reputation. You''re indeed devastatingly beautiful, and I


    must say I''m smitten at first sight.”


    A faint smile tugged at Bailey''s lips as she met the man''s gaze. “I''m afraid you won''t have the courage


    to fall in love with me at first sight, Mr. Mason. Everyone knows I''m the apple of Mr. Luther''s eye, and


    you''ll meet a terrible end if you try to steal his woman. Therefore, I advise you to watch your wandering


    eyes.”


    Mason choked as a look of embarrassment crossed his face.


    I''ve lived for many years, yet no one has ever dared to belittle and shame me. How dare this b*tch...


    “You''re like the moon in the sky, Ms. Jefferson. Of course, I wouldn''t dare to reach for the


    N?velDrama.Org ? content.


    unattainable... Besides, I''m not here today to curry favor with the rich and powerful like yourself. Rainie


    is at the Shurmer residence, isn''t she? Please hand her over, Ms. Jefferson. She''s pregnant now, and


    I''d like to take her home to look after her.”


    Bailey instantly raised her brows and curled her lips into a smirk. “She''s indeed in my house, and she''s


    also pregnant. However, how does that concern you?”


    “How can it not concern me? She''s carrying my child. Given her condition, she should return to the


    Hollett residence and take good care of herself. She''s only an actress, yet she''s now pregnant with a


    descendant of the prestigious Hollet family. This is her honor, for which she should be grateful.”


    With that, Bailey''s gaze darkened, and the smile on her face gradually faded. “I''ve already told you that


    the child in her womb has nothing to do with you,” she said coldly. “You''d better leave now if you don''t


    want to burn your bridges. I''m not a patient person. Once you''ve crossed the line, I won''t let you off


    easy.”


    Having been repeatedly backed into a corner by Bailey, Mason, too, was growing impatient. “Ms.


    Jefferson, surely you don''t suspect that the child she''s carrying isn''t mine, do you?” the man said


    through gritted teeth.


    “Can''t I have my doubts?” Bailey snapped back.


    Mason was too shocked by the retort to say anything, and it was only after a long silence that he finally


    spoke up. “You can suspect all you want, but it''d be pointless! The facts will speak for themselves. If


    you don''t believe it, we can get a paternity test through amniocentesis. The truth will prevail!”


    Bailey furrowed her brows.


    I can''t believe he''s suggesting a paternity test himself. Could he be doing that on purpose to force me


    to back off? No... Judging by the look in his eyes, it doesn''t seem like he has anything up his sleeve. If


    he isn''t afraid of taking a paternity test, does that mean the baby in Rainie''s belly is truly his? Oh,


    dear...


    “Amniocentesis is indeed necessary, but not at this moment. She''s still too early in her pregnancy for


    that.”


    “That''s none of my concern,” Mason replied with a snort, his tone still as assertive as ever. “Since I''ve


    made the trip from Golden Triangle to Hallsbay, I must leave with Rainie today.”


    Bailey scoffed, “And what if I don''t agree?”


    “Well, that''s not up to you anymore. If you''re willing to cooperate and hand Rainie over obediently, we


    can stay as friends in the future. If you don''t... I''m afraid the whole world will learn about the Oscar-


    winning actress'' scandal tomorrow.”


    A cold glint instantly shed across Bailey''s eyes as her expression darkened.


    Argh! I''m not afraid of this jerk''s threats, but what about Rainie? If the scandals from over a month ago


    were to go public, she''d bepletely ruined! How can I gamble with Rainie''s reputation?


    “Rainie is staying with me, and I''ll take good care of her, Mr. Mason. You have nothing to worry about.”


    Unfortunately, Mason was no fool, either. He could tell that Bailey had conceded, which meant his


    threats were effective. As such, he became even more brazen.


    “How can I not worry? That''s my woman and my child we''re talking about. The only way to ensure their


    safety is to keep them with me. Cut the cr*p and hand Rainie over this instant, Ms. Jefferson.


    Otherwise, there will be quite a spectacle tomorrow.”


    Furious, Bailey was about to bare her teeth and order the guards to throw Mason out when Rainie''s


    voice rang out from the yard.


    “Bailey, don''t get yourself worked up over this. I''ll leave with him.”
