Expiried Marriage：Billionaire Refuses to Divorce

In the luxurious banquet hall of H City, Rebecca Augustine sat at her seat, swirling the red wine in her glass as she listened to the gossipy whispers from the wealthy ladies around her.

"Looking like a vixen, I've heard that Mr. Babbitt never touches her. What's the point of marrying into the family if she's just going to be a living widow?"

"Mr. Babbitt spends his days and nights partying and is always in the news for scandals. It's clear he truly dislikes her."

Rebecca Augustine took a sip of her wine, indifferent to their remarks. It seemed the whole of Haicheng knew that Leonard Babbitt did not love her.

"Miss Han..."

A woman with a clear and beautiful face emerged from the crowd, holding her belly and carefully supporting her waist as she walked.

"I'm carrying Mr. Babbitt's child. I hope you can see reason and divorce him soon, giving him his freedom."

Faced with this sudden turn of events, everyone turned to look, eager for more gossip.

This woman was Camille Chaplin, a famous actress. Such statements and actions from an A-list star were akin to career suicide, but...

If it meant successfully forcing Rebecca Augustine out and marrying the business tycoon Leonard Babbitt, all sacrifices would be worth it.

However, Rebecca Augustine merely glanced at her belly, smiled faintly, and asked in a cool yet gentle voice, "How many months along are you?"

Camille Chaplin was taken aback, not expecting such calmness. She replied, "Three months."

Three months ago, Camille Chaplin had indeed been photographed drinking with Leonard Babbitt and his friends at a bar, so the child naturally...

Everyone held their breath, waiting for Rebecca Augustine's response.

But instead, Rebecca Augustine picked up her purse, pulled out a bank card, and handed it to Camille Chaplin with a smile, her tone sincere: "Go get it done yourself."

Camille Chaplin was not willing to accept this. She slapped the card away and stepped forward, shouting, "Miss Han, do you not understand what I'm saying? I'm carrying Mr. Babbitt's child! This child will be the first grandson of the Gu family! You’ve been married to Mr. Babbitt for so long, and he hasn't touched you. Isn't it inappropriate for you to cling to the position of Mrs. Gu?"

Tsk, Rebecca Augustine thought, why does everyone think she's the one clinging to that position?

Facing the provocation, Rebecca Augustine remained unperturbed. She smiled, her eyes narrowing, still maintaining that cool and gentle demeanor: "You’re the 18th person to tell me this."

Camille Chaplin froze, her face twisting.

Rebecca Augustine, in good humor, bent down to pick up the card and slipped it into Camille Chaplin's bag, yawning lazily:

"Miss Chen, take the money before I change my mind. Find a good hospital and get rid of the child. You’re still young. If Leonard Babbitt finds out, you might end up with nothing. Don't you think so?"

Rebecca Augustine's light and breezy words made Camille Chaplin feel uneasy. She knew very well that Leonard Babbitt would never want this child, which was why she had come to force Rebecca Augustine's hand.

But she never expected her all-or-nothing gamble to end like this!

She clenched her fingers tightly, glaring at Rebecca Augustine, and threatened, "I'm different from those other women! Rebecca Augustine, don't wait for Mr. Babbitt to come and talk to you about the divorce himself."

Rebecca Augustine swirled the wine in her glass, smiling leisurely: "Let's see if you have the ability to make him come."

With that, Rebecca Augustine turned, picked up her purse, and walked out of the venue with graceful steps.

Just then, she received a call from the housekeeper: "Young Madam, Sir... brought a woman home."

The slight smile on Rebecca Augustine's lips suddenly stiffened.

No matter how much Leonard Babbitt partied, he had never brought a woman home before.

Could it be... that woman has returned?

Thinking this, she dialed her lawyer: "Can you give me the documents I asked you to prepare?"
