Chapter 350


    Shelly’s eyes widened visibly, but before she could say anything else, Gideon stopped her from


    speaking as his countenance shifted. “Mom, this is not the time to talk about this.”


    Upon hearing that, Shelly could feel herself trembling while she took in the sight of the crowd who


    seemed eager for a show. She was already feeling dizzy because of the overwhelming situation. Kris


    Stark, that b*tch! She lied to us! The two-month-old child doesn’t even belong to Gideon, but another


    scoundrel!


    She wished she could abort the baby right then and there. Fortunately, we got to know this early on!


    That b*tch has been hiding the truth from us. Is she waiting for us to take on the baby as our own? If


    that really happened, then the Walton Family would be raising someone else’s child!


    The mere thought of it was enough to rile Shelly up. “Gideon, the Waltons will not invest in the Green


    Palms Project that the Starks are working on! You have to listen to me this time!” Shelly yelled. How


    dare Kris do this to us when we tried to help her?


    “Mom, I know what to do even if you don’t tell me.” Gideon wore a grim look on his face. Luckily, we


    didn’t invite the press, or else the scandal would have exploded! So many things had happened when


    the Waltons had literally just returned to Bradfort City!


    Even though they didn’t say it out loud, the crowd had surmised what was going on. Judging from


    Shelly’s morose look and how Mr. Walton had cut her short, they deduced that the baby Kris carried


    didn’t belong to the Waltons. Such a scandal would be the talk of the town for some time.


    By that point, the atmosphere at the banquet had reached a low. After a while, the guests dispersed.


    Elliot and the rest also left the scene. Before that, he made it a point to signal Tony with a look. Tony


    seemed rather unfazed, as if everything that happened just now had nothing to do with him.


    On the other hand, Shawn and Estelle stayed back. He was nning to bring Estelle back to Hart


    Residence that night. Since Myra was with them, he figured he should take the opportunity to have


    Myra help soothe Estelle’s rtionship with his grandfather.


    For some reason, both Estelle and Sebastian would fight to the bitter end as soon as they saw each

    other. No matter what they did, it was as if they were constantlypeting against each other, which


    gave Shawn a headache. To make things even moreplicated, Estelle didn’t only have a wild


    streak, but she was also extremely independent, so she would never agree to marry Shawn if he


    couldn’t get his grandfather to agree on their marriage.


    “Are you two the ones behind what happened just now?” Because they were headed to the same


    destination, Estelle dragged Shawn into the car that Tony and Myra were in. She even forcefully


    dragged Myra to the back seat while kicking Shawn to the passenger seat.


    Initially, Tony wore a sour look upon noticing what Estelle did. Although he tried to object to it, Myra


    effortlessly appeased him by giving him a kiss. Nheless, he still couldn’t help but stare at Shawn,


    who was seated beside him in Myra’s stead, with disdain.


    As soon as they settled into their seats in the car, Estelle began questioning the two men sitting at the


    front. Tony was driving, so he could only nce at Myra while arching his brow in silence. In contrast,


    Shawn spoke up. “Do you think we can actually impregnate Kris?”


    Both Myra and Estelle were rendered speechless by his response. Myra suddenly had the urge to


    like f*cking Miss Kris Stark, considering how beautiful she is! Doesn’t she have a lot of suitors in


    Bradfort City? If someone had his eyes on her, he would of course bring her back so that he could take


    his time f*cking—”


    Estelle deliberately drawled when she said thatst word, but before she could finish her sentence,


    Shawn reached out to hold her hand while still seated in the front. With a look of resignation, he stated,


    “I don’t think Tony will allow you to remain in his car if you keep this up.”


    Upon hearing that, Estelle turned to check on Tony, who was still driving. Sure enough, his expression


    was so dark that Estelle could only mumble sheepishly, “We’re all adults, so what’s wrong with saying


    f*ck? With your age, are you still going to pretend to be innocent teenagers?”


    “Estelle…” In resignation, Myra turned to look at Tony. “Have you known since the beginning that Kris is


    pregnant?”


    “Yeah. We found out about it as soon as she went to the hospital.” Even when Tony was driving, he


    didn’t forget to nce at Myra lovingly.


    All the while, Estelle watched on in perplexion as she thought, Is that guy who is driving really Tony


    Hart?


    Meanwhile, Myra had another question. “So have you also predicted that Hayden Fuller will join the


    banquet?”


    After exchanging a nce with Tony, Shawn smiled. “It’s not that hard to predict. Ever since Hayden


    knew his woman was pregnant with his baby, he tailed her wherever she went in order to protect his


    child.”


    “You had someone tail Hayden?” Myra was surprised by the revtion.


    While arching his brow, Shawn replied, “We didn’t need to do that. Hayden had made a pact with Tony.”


    “What kind of pact?” Estelle asked.


    As Tony drove, he gave a nonchnt reply. “Hayden was looking for investors in order to set up a


    Myra didn’t know what to say to that. She had to acknowledge that Hayden had such pure love toward


    Kris, but unfortunately, Kris was overly ambitious. It was now obvious that she had been enjoying and


    utilizing Hayden’s love for her own selfish goals.


    “Other than that, Hayden also gave her a lot of presents. From what I gathered, Tony was the one who


    actually bought them.” Shawn was wearing a half smirk whilementing on the subject casually. “I


    suppose you had indirectly given Miss Kris Stark quite a lot of expensive gifts.”


    In order to help Hayden stand out among all the suitors who were after Kris, Tony did spend quite a


    fortune buying gifts. “But they were all counterfeits,” Tony said indifferently, which rendered the rest of


    them speechless. Shawn nearly choked on his own spit.


    Some time ago, he knew Tony had given away some priceless diamond jewelry. Shawn was feeling


    bad for all the money that was spent on a rtively inconsequential part of the n, which he didn’t


    think was worth it. However, he overlooked how cunning Tony could be, which meant he couldn’t have


    possibly given such priceless items to Kris as presents.


    Also, Hayden never suspected that the items were counterfeits because it was given to him by Tony. At


    the same time, he was only giving the items to Kris in order to court her. Kris knew next to nothing


    about jewelry, so she was easily deceived. Therefore, the n went on without a hitch, as nobody


    discovered that the gifts were counterfeit items.


    “By the way, Myra had given Director Hart a ring, but he hasn’t given her anything back, has he? On


    the contrary, he had given Kris so many presents even though they were counterfeits.” Estelle was


    deliberately fanning the mes of dispute.


    Tony narrowed his eyes, but he said nothing to refute her. After some hesitation, Myra leaned in closer


    to Estelle to whisper into her ear. Right away, Estelle cried in astonishment, “What? Is that true?”


    Myra nced at Tony before confirming what she said smilingly. “It’s true.”


    “Holy sh*t! Myra, you’re also a rich girl now! You might even be richer than Tony Hart himself! Is it too


    her high-pitched voice reverberated in the car.
