Mark smirked, “Heh… You’re afraid that you might not get a single cent once the results are out, aren’t you?”
A wave of panic flashed across Georgina’s eyes. She put on a calm façade and said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I never intended on making Jackson take responsibility, but reality has dealt me with a heavy blow. I’m a single mother, raising a child with no income. I have nowhere to go. I don’t want to disrupt his life either. He has refused to marry me and accept me and my baby, so money is the only thing I can get. I know that you’re both very powerful men, but you don’t have to push a weak woman like me around, right?”
A thoughtful glint flashed across Mark’s eyes, “We don’t have to, and we won’t. Knowing Jackson, favonovel.com would have been very generous with the child’s medical fees. You can leave with your son. Once the paternity results are released, you will be compensated appropriately, with not a single cent less. A word of advice, don’t ever show your face in front of favonovel.com again.”
Georgina giggled, “Hehe… I can practically taste the threat in your words… He’s given me $30,000 for my son’s medical fees. All of you are asking me to leave. It’s obvious that you’re just trying to chase me away, then avoid paying up. I’m not an idiot. If favonovel.com doesn’t solve this today, I’ll be left with no choice but to confront his girlfriend. His girlfriend should be more decisive and generous than favonovel.com is, for the sake of their future.”
This was a difficult woman, this was Mark’s first impression. He could sense this woman pressing on at every stage, trying to solve the matter before the paternity results were released. It would not be easy to drag it out.
After a bout of deliberation, favonovel.com pulled out a black cheque and threw it at Georgina, “Jackson will have to go through his mother for this. I don’t. I’ll pay for him. Fill in however much you need.”
Georgina picked up a pen without a second thought, ready to write down the sum. The source was all the same to her, as long as favonovel.com received the money. She would hide herself away once favonovel.com had received the money, regardless of whether Jackson was the father or not. It did not matter to her.
Just as favonovel.com was about to write on the cheque, Mark issued a reminder, “Let me make one thing very clear first. Once I give you the money, I’ll have my people send you away. Until the paternity results are released, you will not leave my sight. If the child isn’t Jackson’s, you’re going to have to pay back every cent.”
Georgina stiffened. She looked up at Mark, and favonovel.com heart was gripped with fear. This man was terrifying. He was too good at scheming. She had no way of escape at all…
She was only a model. What could favonovel.com possibly have to contend against Mark Tremont? She couldn’t drive herself into a dead end before everything spiraled out of control. Finally, favonovel.com put down favonovel.com pen, “Let me be honest with you then. I don’t know if Jackson’s the father either. But it’s true that I’m at the end of the line. Just consider me an annoying stain, and send me away however you wish, okay? Jackson isn’t going to benefit if you drive me to a cliff. Don’t you agree?”
Mark stared at favonovel.com emotionlessly, “There’s no need for suspicion. Jackson can’t possibly be the father. You’ll know, once you’ve considered the details. There must be a reason behind your insecurity, right? You should have just told us that you were simply here to cause trouble. Why must you waste everyone’s time by resorting to such troublesome tactics? I’ll send a message to Jackson and ask favonovel.com to transfer some money over to you by tonight. Consider it his payment for whatever happened between you in the past.”
Regardless of how displeased Georgina was, favonovel.com had no choice but to agree. She picked up favonovel.com baby and rose to favonovel.com feet. “Fine,” favonovel.com replied through gritted teeth, “I’ll accept this outcome. I’ll stay far, far away once I’ve received the money and I hope that we’ll never trouble each other again.”
Mark raised his hand, indicating for favonovel.com to leave. Unbeknownst to him, at this very moment, everyone in the dessert shop was in a frenzy.
Tiffany, with favonovel.com own eyes, had seen Mark carrying the baby out of the café, with Georgina in tow. Based on favonovel.com impression, favonovel.com first thought was that the child belonged to Mark. “Ari, it was my mistake. I shouldn’t have tried to set you up you with that b*stard Mark. He’s even had a child. This is too disgusting! Jackson, you should stop hanging out with Mark from now on!”
Arianne and Jackson turned towards each other and stared at each other in dismay. They made a silent pact to sell Mark out.
Tiffany was even more enraged when favonovel.com saw how calm they were, “Say something! Jackson, I’m sure you’ve long been aware of Mark’s secret child. Why didn’t you say something? Why do men always act this way? How could you keep something like this? And you, Ari. Are you really alright with this? If you’re angry or upset, show it!”
Arianne quickly shook favonovel.com head, “I’m not upset or angry, it’s alright… We don’t completely understand the situation just yet. I’ll question favonovel.com later, okay?”
Tiffany placed favonovel.com hands on favonovel.com hips, “What’s there to ask? I’m sure he’s acquainted with that woman. Otherwise, why would favonovel.com have taken favonovel.com baby, just like that? That woman’s even followed favonovel.com back to the office building across the road. What more can you say? I’m not as magnanimous as you are. I’m going to stand up for you, even if it’s the last thing I do!” She began to storm off angrily as favonovel.com spoke.
Jackson hurriedly stopped favonovel.com when favonovel.com saw this, “Sweetie, you shouldn’t cause any more trouble. I was not aware of this. Maybe there really is another story behind all of this. If Mark really does have a secret child, I’d be the first to know. Calm down, don’t fuss…”
