Chapter 998 Patricia Is Pregnant

Linda knew that she could do nothing to stop the public from spreading rumors, so she thought that the best thing to do was to keep silent.

She believed that the rumors would naturally fade away as time went on.

"Did father and mother get the news?" Linda asked Paul.

"Yes, I've told them about it."

Linda hurried to the Mu Clan's old house. As soon as she entered the living room, she saw James sitting on the sofa in a daze. He looked visibly upset. 'Victoria's death must be a terrible blow to him, ' Linda thought.

"Father..."

Linda approached James but she didn't know what to say to comfort him. James had always thought of Victoria as his own daughter. He had watched her grow up right in front of his eyes.

No matter what cruel or crazy things she did, he always forgave her eventually. Since he had cared so much about her, he naturally felt depressed after hearing about her death.

"Linda, you don't have to comfort me. I know that you're worried about me."

James knew that excessive grief was bad for his health. But since he'd had deep affection for Victoria, he couldn't help feeling sad at this moment.

"Don't worry, father. I'll look into it for sure! Victoria did something wrong, but she didn't have to atone for it with her life. I didn't expect her to be murdered by someone."

"Well, then go and find out the truth. Although she should pay for her crime, I don't want her death to be a mystery."

To James, everyone's life was very precious.

In the late afternoon, a white Honda was parked in front of a coffee shop.

A well-dressed woman stepped out of the car in high heels.

She looked elegant and fashionable.

The woman was none other than Jessie. When she walked into the coffee shop, she saw Patricia sitting in a corner, staring out of the window.

When Patricia saw Jessie enter the coffee shop, she got up at once.

Jessie waved at Patricia and then walked toward her.

"Well, you called to meet me. Does that mean you have some good news for me?" Jessie asked.

She shot a meaningful glance at Patricia's belly.

"What do you think is good news? To be honest, Jessie, I'm regretting doing what you told me to do. If my actions are discovered, I'll face a miserable fate."

"What are you afraid of? How can you get what you want without

regnancy, she saw her brother passing in front of her.

This made Patricia feel timider.

Since Jessie had other things to do in the afternoon, she couldn't stay at Patricia's house for a long time, so she decided to go ahead and tell Holly about her daughter's pregnancy at once.

"Auntie, I'm sure you remember that Patricia and Devin were in a hotel room on the day of Rosy's engagement."

Suddenly, Holly looked embarrassed. She was surprised that Jessie was mentioning this matter in front of her. After all, it was a scandal involving her family.

"Why are you bringing that up now? That's a thing of the past."

"Yes, you're right, Auntie. But now, Patricia is pregnant, and the baby's father is Devin."

Hearing this, Holly was stunned. Ronald also turned around.

"What?! You're pregnant before getting married!" Ronald looked at Patricia in surprise, and there was a mocking smile on his face, which made Patricia feel uncomfortable.

"Oh, my God, what you've done is so incredible, Patricia. You had the nerve to get pregnant before marriage! And the most ridiculous thing is that Devin didn't seem to want to marry you. So what do you plan to do about the baby? I think you'd better have an abortion." Ronald laughed.

Jessie was shocked by Ronald's words. 'Is he really Patricia's own brother? How could he treat her like this?

He's mocking his sister for getting pregnant before marriage! And he's even asking her to have an abortion!

No wonder Patricia was afraid to tell her family about it, ' she thought.
