Chapter 5 Let's Make A Bet

Rosalie noticed Credence's abnormal behavior and coughed lightly. "Credence, it's all my fault. I should not have fallen for you, and I should not have told you everything that Dorothy did behind your back. Everything is my fault. Please don't force her anymore. She cares about you very much, that's why she wants to use the child to win your heart... Dorothy, I'm so sorry..." Her eyes were full of ambiguity as she said.

She sniffled and could not finish her words as she choked up.

"Rosalie Fisher, just drop the act! You're the most shameless woman I've ever seen in my whole life!"

Dorothy scoffed and stood up. She walked toward Rosalie and said with a cold smile, "In your mind, I'm only a child whom Dad and Mom had adopted from the orphanage. My whole life exists because of them, so I have to do everything I can to repay their kindness, right? That's true. I am forever indebted to them, but I don't owe you anything!"

"Don't ever think of owning the man I love. He will never be yours, ever! Just give up already!"

"Sis, I... I have never thought that way..."

Rosalie showed a frightened expression. She was crying pitifully with tears all over her face.

Credence's expression darkened. He stepped forward and stood in front of Dorothy. "You don't have the say in whether to keep the child or get a divorce."

After that, he took out his mobile phone and gave an order. A few tall and strong men in black rushed in and dragged Dorothy to the operating theater without any hesitation.

"No!"

Dorothy struggled to break free of them. Tears were rolling down her cheeks. However, she was no match for those strong men. Just like that, she was dragged into the empty operating theater.

Dorothy's body trembled uncontrollably.

Never did she expect that the arrival of their child not only failed to ease the relationship between her and Credence, but it had intensified the conflict between them.

As Dorothy got closer and closer to the operating table, she only had one thought in her mind, which was to escape!

She had to run away to protect her precious child.

In desperation, Dorothy mustered all her strength. While the men let down their guard, she suddenly broke free from their restraints and staggered toward the door.

She did not care about anything else. She only knew that if Credence caught her, she would definitely lose her child.

However, she was greeted with the sight of Rosalie walking toward her with a provocative smile on her face. She wanted to stop, but it was too late.

Soon, she felt a sharp pain in her chest. The pain was so excruciating that she bent down and collapsed to the ground. Gradually, she lost consciousness...

......

When Dorothy regained consciousness, she felt a pang of unbearable pain, and her eyelids were so heavy that she could not open her eyes. She struggled for a long time before she could open her eyes.

She realized that she was in a ward.

At the thought of her baby, she subconsciously put her hand on her abdomen and caressed it. She felt a mixture of pain and joy.

It did not matter if Credence did not love her. At least, she still had her child.

However, her joy was short-lived. The next moment, Rosalie appeared in front of her.

Dorothy's expression morphed almost instantly, She frowned at Rosalie, asking, "What are you doing here? Do you want to hurt me again?"

As her memory slowly returned, Dorothy recalled the scene before she fainted. It was Rosalie who gave her a hard push when nobody was looking. As a result, Dorothy fell to the ground and passed out.

Dorothy was well aware that her sister, whom she had grown up with, was not as innocent and harmless that she appeared to be.

Rosalie walked over and stared at Dorothy's abdomen for a long time. "I used all my strength to push you, but I couldn't believe that it's not enough to make you miscarry. Your illegitimate child is tough, huh?"

"You can hurt me all you want, but you should not try to kill an innocent child!"

Clenching her fists, Dorothy stared Rosalie straight in the eyes. She smiled coldly and said, "I guess you know Credence well. If I tell him that you had something to do with his father's accident, and that four years ago, the reason I was in bed with him was also your doing, do you think he'd still be in love with you?"

Rosalie suddenly widened her eyes and displayed an exaggerated innocent expression. "Do you think Credence will believe anything you say? Also, without evidence, you are only slandering me. I can sue you anytime and put you in jail!"

"You know very well in your heart about the truth." Dorothy narrowed her eyes and scoffed, "Spare me your nonsense. One day, you will be punished for the things that you have done!"

Rosalie remained silent. There was a vicious look in her eyes.

Since Dorothy was so headstrong, it seemed that she had no choice but to do it the hard way.

Rosalie shifted her gaze and spotted a glass on the table. Then, she picked it up and slowly released her hand, letting it slip from her palm.

The glass shattered into pieces.

She proceeded to pull out a small knife from her bag and walked toward Dorothy. She said smugly, "It seems like you refuse to give up on Credence. Fine, let's make a bet. We'll see who he will choose among us!"
