Chapter 2

Hearing this, Emma on the other end of the line immediately became excited.

"You're finally coming back, Boss Olivia!"

"We've all missed you so much!"

"Wait, you're not bringing Alexander back with you, are you?"

Hearing Alexander's name, I lowered my eyes, my tone a bit sour:

"No, just me."

After hanging up, I saw a plump woman standing at the door of the hospital room.

She was Alexander's mother, Margaret.

She played a significant role in the deterioration of my relationship with Alexander.

"Already rushing to find someone to keep you?"

"You slut, you really have no shame!"

Margaret waddled to the bedside, her sour and mean face making me feel utterly disgusted.

I glanced at her with disgust and said coldly, "What are you doing here?"

Margaret snorted and reached out her hand to me, her whole demeanor haughty:

"It's time for this month's alimony."

I frowned, about to say something when my phone suddenly rang.

It was a video call from Sophia.

"Which old man is this now?" Margaret muttered sarcastically beside me.

I pretended not to hear and pressed the answer button.

Instantly, a naked couple appeared in the video.

"Oh my! In broad daylight, how scandalous!"

Margaret only took one look before she was frightened into covering her eyes and backing away repeatedly.

I didn't say anything, just stared intently at the two people in the video.

Sophia's belly was slightly swollen, and her entire body was covered in love bites.

And the man on top of her was none other than Alexander, who had ignored me yesterday.

She drew circles on Alexander's chest with her hand while panting lightly and asked:

"Alex, weren't we too harsh on Olivia?"

Alexander sneered, his tone full of contempt:

"Too harsh?"

"Even if those men tortured her to death, I wouldn't think it was too much."

"This time, I want to see how she pretends to be innocent!"

Sophia giggled at this, sounding like a demon from hell.

The video was abruptly cut off. I clenched my fists, my fingers digging deep into my flesh.

I looked up at Margaret, my eyes cold:

"Did you see clearly? This is your son!"

"Go ask Alexander for the alimony. I don't have any."

I thought Margaret would feel a bit of guilt, but to my surprise, she started boasting proudly:

"My son is indeed amazing! So attractive to women."

"Olivia, let me tell you, if a woman can't keep her man's heart, it only shows that you're incapable."

"Alex doesn't earn money easily. Hurry up and give me the money."

With that, she reached out to grab my phone.

"What are you doing?"

I was startled and hurriedly hid the phone in my arms, but I underestimated Margaret's strength.

She forcefully pulled my arm and actually yanked me off the bed.

"Clatter!"

The phone was thrown several meters away, and I was thrown to the ground.

Blood began to seep from my newly stitched wound, but I couldn't care less. I struggled to get up and went to pick up the phone.

Margaret got to it first, skillfully unlocking it.

"PayPal: You've received $10,000."

Only when the cold female voice sounded did she throw the phone back to me, her tone dissatisfied:

"Why so little money?"

With that, she hurriedly left to get a spa with her girlfriends.

I collapsed on the ground, my heart as dead as ashes.

That was my last $10,000, money I had saved to buy milk powder for the baby in my belly.

In the end, I couldn't keep the money, nor could I keep the child.

I had nothing left.
