He took a step forward and helped me up, his eyes full of concern, but I saw the suspicion in the bottom of Ronan’s gaze
“I just came downstairs. I wanted to talk to you about my brother, Emery’s situation p>
Suppressing all the rage in my heart, I pretended I hadn’t heard a thing.
The lawyer had already taken this opportunity to turn and leave the mansion.
Seeing this, Ronan also breathed a sigh of relief.
“Honey, about Emery’s case, I asked the lawyer, it’s just p>
As he spoke, a troubled look appeared on his face.
I glanced at him without showing any emotion, a wave of sadness washing over me, and then asked in a hoarse voice.
“What is it? Is it really difficult p>
Ronan’s brow was furrowed, but he forced a smile.
“The thing is, the evidence against him is just overwhelming. Even after I consulted with many lawyers, there’s no way to solve it. And… Juniper hired some people to warn us. She said if you insist on suing, she’ll cut off your mom’s medication and have her kicked out of the hospital p>
As Ronan spoke, he quickly held onto me, as if worried I couldn’t stand on my own.
A pang of pain shot through my chest, and I couldn’t resist jabbing at him with a question.
“Are the people backing Juniper really that powerful? More powerful than you, the head of the top corporation in New York City p>
Ronan’s face stiffened, then he gave a bitter smile.
“Honey, the company isn’t doing so well lately, so I really can’t do anything. It’s my fault. But if you insist on suing, who knows how much more Emery and your mom will have to suffer. I’m heartbroken about losing the baby too, but could you please just drop the lawsuit and record a video clearing things up? Otherwise, I really don’t know what to do p>
Ronan had never shown weakness in front of me before.
In the past, no matter what happened, he shouldered it all by himself.
So, he had never shown this side of himself to me.
But I knew perfectly well that there was nothing wrong with Prescott Enterprises!
All of this, Ronan’s act of weakness, was all to get me to drop the lawsuit, to protect his precious childhood sweetheart!
How could he be so cruel?
I stared intently into his eyes.
Ronan’s disguise was flawless, he even covered his face with his hands.
If I hadn’t overheard the truth just now, I’m afraid I would have been completely played by him and agreed to drop the charges.
But now…

I forced a sentence from my throat.
“Has it really come to this? Ronan, Juniper killed our child. Are you really asking me to drop the lawsuit p>
I was trembling slightly.
A flicker of guilt crossed Ronan’s eyes, but the next second, he said without hesitation.
“Cora, I want to avenge our child too, but right now, Emery and your mom are more important p>
“I swear, when the time is right, I will avenge the death of our son. Cora, just listen to me, okay p>
He coaxed, handing the phone to me.
“When you record the video, just say you fell on your own, and Juniper was only trying to help you up p>
A flash of eagerness crossed Ronan’s eyes.
I finally saw clearly that in Ronan’s heart, neither my brother nor my mom, not even me and the baby in my womb combined, were as important as Juniper.
I closed my eyes in despair and said in a hoarse voice, “I agree to drop the lawsuit, and I agree to film the clarification video. But not until seven days from now p>
The happy expression on Ronan’s face instantly froze.
“Why seven days from now p>
I reached out and touched my belly, a bitter smile on my face.
“Because I want our child to have a proper seven-day mourning period p>
Seeing the look on my face, a flicker of guilt appeared in Ronan’s eyes.
“Okay, seven days it is p>
He reached out and pulled me into his arms.
Ronan’s embrace was still so warm, but I couldn’t feel a shred of security in it anymore.
