A Deal with the Heartless Man novel

---- Chapter 24 While the others had not fully processed what had happened, Seth started shouting hysterically. "How could she be pregnant when I never slept with her before?" Emma placed her hand over her lower abdomen. There was a scornful look in her eyes as she gradually regained her composure. "Whoever said that I needed to be pregnant with your child? The father of my child is him." Standing before everyone, Emma took Vincent's hand. Vincent was overjoyed.

He had a silly grin on his face even though all eyes were on him and Emma at the moment. "Emma." Vincent was positively glowing with happiness. "Does this mean you're willing to take me as your husband now that you've announced our relationship to the Burtons?" Emma found the way Vincent had arrived at that conclusion rather amusing. She replied shyly, "Why are you always thinking about stuff like that?" Vincent gazed at her longingly.

"My biggest dream is to stay by your side forever, after all." ---- Seth was shuddering all over as he watched Emma and Vincent acting all lovey-dovey. The thing he feared the most had happened. Even June, who thought they had the trump card, started feeling a bit anxious. "Emma's pregnant with another man's child? How is that possible? Isn't she completely head over heels in love with Seth?" she pondered. Seth staggered to his feet and refuted , "Yes, Emma and I have gotten divorced.

You managed to get in between us after that. However, Emma and I were still married a month ago. So, how could she be pregnant with your child?" Vincent snickered. "You seem to have forgotten , Mr. Hunter. Emma saw your true colors not long after you got married. Then, she started seeing me. "She had made preparations to leave you since the beginning. You lost all value to her when she confirmed that you wouldn't lay a finger on her." Emma shook her head. "No.

I will never bear a child for aman like him." With every word, Seth's face grew paler. Emma turned her gaze toward June, whose eyes blazed with malice and indignation . Suddenly , she smiled. ---- "Now that I think about it, I have you to thank for this. I'm really glad you've kept Seth from sleeping with me. He and you are a perfect fit for each other. 1 hope you two will stay together for a long, long time." June clenched her jaw so hard that she almost hurt her gums.

There was no way Seth would want to stay with her for a long, long time. Emma was obviously mocking her by saying that. Seth had given June the ultimatum before they came here today. If she could not help Seth get Emma back, he would not allow June and her child to continue living in this world. It seemed to her that she had lost her final hope to survive. In that case... June had a crazed look in her eyes. She pointed at Emma and shouted, "So what if you're pregnant?

That man's probably your sugar baby or just a plaything. Can the Burton family accept someone like him as a family member?" William swiftly calmed down as well. He started lecturing Emma. "Emma, that lady's right. Even if your and Seth's relationship hadn't worked out, you shouldn't have fooled around with other men. A child born between you and a random guy with a dubious background has ---- no right to inherit the Burton family's assets. "That's not all.

We, the Burton family, would have to sever ties with you as well." Those sly, calculating members of the Burton family had started to reveal their greed and true intentions . Emma remained unruffled. She was grinning as she glanced at Vincent, whose face darkened. "What do we do? They're saying you're my plaything. " Just then, some of their company's shareholders had arrived at the Burton residence.

After all, the division of the Burton family's assets would also determine the next person who would hold the chairman's position in the Burton Group. An older man, who was the eldest among the shareholders, spotted Vincent. His eyes lit up. The elder immediately hurried toward Vincent and greeted him respectfully. "Mr. Gardner, what brings you here today?"
