Chapter 21

Penulis: Ripe Pear
Veronica's pregnancy was especially meaningful because it happened this year, when Goodwin Group finally went public.

Albert finally regarded Veronica with some sense of approval and gentleness.

If Veronica could give birth to two grandsons, Albert would be willing to tolerate her as the Goodwins' daughter-in-law for life.

Meanwhile, Daphne saw everything that had played out so far. She was beside herself with frustration. She could barely hide the hatred in her gaze.

"The children in Veronica's womb are mine!" Daphne thought. "Who does she think she is? Henry and I are just using her as a tool to get pregnant! She doesn't deserve all that attention just because of the children in her womb!

"Also, what's with that old hag? Why is she even still alive? How dare she humiliate me like that! Sure, she can support Veronica all she wants, but I'd love to see the look on her face when she finds out that Veronica is just a lowly tool while I am the real mother of the Goodwins' heir!"

    Henry continued, "Firstly, I'm sure it'll lift your spirits, especially now that you're pregnant. Secondly, I owe you that much. Ever since we got married, I've never bought anything for you. There's no better time to start than now, so I'll pay for whatever you want today."Veronica had wanted to decline, but she suddenly spotted Grace escorting the smiling Esther into the room. "That's great," Esther said. "Henry, you should've done this a long time ago. Veronica is your wife, yet she doesn't have much under her name. From the way I see it, she barely has any decent clothes that represent her stature! Go buy her some more clothes. She is Mrs. Goodwin, after all. She should look the part."Without waiting for Veronica's answer, Henry replied, "Yes, Grandma. It's all my fault for overlooking Veronica for so long. She's even pregnant with children now. I'll do my best to make it up to her from now on."Veronica spotted Jasmine behind Esther. She still had something she needed Esthe

    On the other end of the line, Frank was crying his eyes out. "Mrs. Goodwin, you really put me in a terrible spot. When on earth can I finally go home?"The nurse beside him was in even greater despair. "I don't want to stay in Solterra. I want to go home. Dr. Lowe, please beg Mrs. Goodwin for mercy."Before Frank could say anything, Veronica asked him, "How do you suppose Mr. Johnson would punish those who dared mock him? The mistakes and absurdities you've caused in this case could land you in prison, and even that would be too lenient a punishment."Or do you really want to spend the rest of your life in prison, Dr. Lowe? At least you still have your freedom if you lie low out there. When all this has blown over, you can still come back. You can just change your name, and I'll give you a new identity and move you to another city. You can still live like you used to."But if you go to prison, you'll lose everything. Dr. Lowe, think long and hard about this. Do you really want to c

    Jasmine's father was working as a driver for the Goodwin family.A long time ago, Jasmine's mother left with a guest of the Goodwins and never came back.Ever since then, her once-honest father changed completely, and he even became obsessed with gambling. He would even occasionally beat Jasmine up, who looked exactly like her mother.Jasmine always had good grades. Even though she began working as a maid for the Goodwin family at 15, she still worked hard in her studies and managed to get into Amberdale University.However, her father didn't want her to continue her studies. He even withheld Jasmine's wages from her.Out of desperation, Jasmine had pleaded with Lily.Lily had simply mocked her. "Know your place, Jasmine. You should listen to your father. When you turn 20, I'll get you a husband who's old, loving, and absolutely rich. It's a much better future than studying and working hard, only to end up with a husband who leads an equally difficult life."Your dad can also li

    Henry had no choice but to get up and hug his mother in reassurance. "Don't cry, Mom. Dad had no other choice. Grandma is getting weaker by the day, so it's okay if we indulge her a little."Leaning in her son's embrace, Lily sobbed sorrowfully, "If it weren't for you and Mabel, I wouldn't have stayed another day in this house! Henry, your grandmother skipped right past me and passed the heirloom bracelet on to your wife. How can I be okay with that?"Also, Veronica wore that bracelet to the banquet just now. What would our relatives think of me? Your grandmother is going to die any time soon, so why did she insist on doing all this? Even after we came back, she wanted to humiliate me even more. How can I keep being respectful to her?"It's bad enough that she humiliated me, but you're the future head of the Goodwin family, for goodness' sake! And she humiliated you, too! I just couldn't stand it!"Henry comforted his mother, "Mom, Grandma is an elder, after all. Just put up with i

    Lily was panicking. "Mom! What are you doing? Henry is almost 30, for goodness' sake! Please, at least save him some dignity!"Esther looked at Lily. "Then you should kneel too!"Lily was shocked. She couldn't believe that Esther would ask her, her daughter-in-law, to kneel just like that!Lily was the lady of the Goodwin family and the wife of the chairman of Goodwin Group. How could Esther humiliate her like that?Lily screamed, "I will not kneel!"Esther smirked and got straight to the point. She looked straight at Albert, who was standing at the side with a troubled look on his face.She said, "Oh, so this family doesn't care about me now that I'm at death's door, is that it? Don't forget—I may not be educated, but your father and I worked hard to establish the Goodwin family back then! We have also helped raise the members of the Goodwin family all this time."Albert, have I wronged the Goodwins in any way? Your wife just said that I had robbed your son of his dignity. If I

    Daphne struggled and freed herself before shoving Henry away with all her might. "Go away! Why did you even come after me?"Henry had a confused look on his face. "I didn't know you'd be coming tonight. If you had told me earlier, I would've stopped you from bringing that tea set! I know you were mistreated, but this isn't the time to reveal everything, nor is it the time to announce that you're my true lover. Daphne, please calm down."Daphne cried at the top of her lungs, "Henry, I'm not crying because I was mistreated. It wasn't because your grandmother insulted me, nor was it because Veronica kept cornering me! It was you… You're starting to fall for Veronica, aren't you?"A strange sense of irritation welled up inside Henry. "Can you stop being so difficult? I left her behind to run after you. Isn't this enough to show my love for you? Daphne, I've said this before. Everything I have is yours, even my life!"With that, he pulled Daphne back into his embrace. Despite her strugg
