Chapter 67
I had nowhere to run and was forced to go with the flow. “What are you trying to do, Uncle James?”
“It’s such a pity for you to have to stay together with that lunatic,” James said with a chuckle. “Wehave plenty of time ahead of us. You might as well ditch him and date me instead.”
“But the doctor just told me I’m pregnant. Grandpa really cares about this baby. What if the babydoesn’t make it?” I said with a smile. “That wouldn’t be good, would it, Uncle James? You can waitfor a little while longer, right?”
James narrowed his eyes, clearly enjoying my reply.
He reached out and held my chin with one hand. “What a little vixen you are.”
My smile was becoming forced as I tried to hold back my disgust. How could someone like him stillbe living so brazenly?
“Okay, I have plenty of time. Let’s wait,” he said before leaning in closer with his hand still on my
chin.
1 frowned as I tried to dodge him, but that made him annoyed. “What? Not even a kiss? Come on.You can’t lead people on and then act all shy and innocent.”
He was starting to lose his patience, but I was starting to not be able to keep up my facade. novelbin
Suddenly, right as I was panicking and at a loss for what to do, I heard a loud crashing noise. I sawthat someone had knocked James out with a wooden pole.
I looked at Steven in shock. “H–How did you get out?”
His expression was bitter and dark. His gaze was murderous, and he paid no attention to me.Instead, he lifted the wooden stick again and prepared to swing it down on James‘ head. He wastrying to kill
him.
“Steven!” I quickly stopped him. “Are you trying to kill him?”
I could sense that Steven was actually aiming to kill.
I started to seriously suspect that he was one of the murderers.
Still, I couldn’t just watch him murder someone in front of me. “Grandpa will kill you if you actually
kill him. Calm down.”

Steven’s murderous gaze landed on me, and some of the rage faded from his eyes. “He laid hishands on you. He deserves to die.”
I froze. That sentence seemed so familiar.
Back when I was still a wandering soul, he had said the same thing after viciously beating up theasshole next to Michael.
“If you lay a hand on her, you’re dead.”
Back then, diche’s know why he would kill someone for me even though we didn’t know each other.

1 shook my head at him and shut the door before standing outside.
Soon enough, Ignatius rushest upstairs with a few bodyguards behind him. “Where’s that littlebastard? Find him now!”
“Please calm down, Grandpa,” I said as 1 quickly approached him and stopped him from going any
further.
“Just now, Uncle James tried to assault me. I was worried that something would happen to thebaby, so I ran into the room. Steven instinctively acted to protect his child, Thank heavens he wasthere, or the baby…”
1 trailed off as I put my acting skills to good use and began to sob.
Ignatius knew best what kind of person James was, I was betting on the chance that Ignatius caredmore about the heir in my belly.
After all, Steven had been a genius before he went insane. Apart from that, James was infamous forbeing a pervert. If he hadn’t wasted his youth away by sleeping around so much, he might still befertile and not a failure who couldn’t even make a test–tube baby.
If it wasn’t for James‘ recklessness, why would Ignatius have to place all his hopes of having an heiron a lunatic?
Ignatius‘ expression darkened. “That monster! Ralph, bring him back and make sure he learns hislesson!”
1 let out a sigh of relief. At least I managed to dodge that obstacle.
“Grandpa, who’s going to attend the party tonight?” I asked as I approached him and changed thetopic. “Please calm down.”
