The Heir Trap
"My wife? That old woman? She's worn out and hard to look at. I've had enough of her. She can't control me. Just wait. I'll throw her out sooner or later!"
Quinton's legs gave out. He almost collapsed on the spot.
"Th-that's not me!" he tried to argue, but no one believed him.
Nora's lips trembled. She pointed at him, but no words came out.
Mandy put her phone away and rested a hand on her stomach, satisfied.
"You all heard it. Didn't the Strouds want an heir? Well, here it is. You should be thanking me."
The words hit Nora hard.
Her face turned pale, and she lunged at Mandy, but her foot slipped. A dull thud echoed through the room as the back of her head hit the floor.
