"Smack!" A crisp sound reverberated as Ding Ru's face was slapped. She touched her cheek, which stung from the impact, and tears welled up in her eyes. However, the tears were not solely due to the pain. In this moment, Ding Ru's body trembled slightly. She couldn't comprehend why Che Rui suddenly bowed down to this man. He knew the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and could freely navigate Brentwood City. Why would he be afraid of this troublemaker? But Che Rui had informed her today that Christopher Yard had powerful connections. Not only did he have a prominent family supporting him, but there was also a mysterious figure assisting him. Even the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee displayed fear in his eyes upon hearing Christopher Yard's name. He outright refused to help Che Rui, regardless of Che Rui's past assistance. Che Rui now understood that Christopher Yard possessed power and influence far beyond what his Che Group could compare to. They had made a grave mistake from the beginning. "Yes, I'm sorry, Mr. Yard. I'm just a woman who lacks manners. Yesterday, I even contemplated... You are a forgiving person, so please don't hold it against me." Ding Ru's words trembled slightly, as if she dared not mention what had occurred yesterday. Fear tinged her voice. Christopher Yard looked at Ding Ru before him, but he had no intention of letting her off the hook. He had already given her multiple chances yesterday. Unfortunately, this woman stubbornly refused to back down and even sought someone to attack him. If Christopher Yard hadn't possessed defensive abilities at that time, he would have been severely injured, if not killed. He wouldn't be standing here, conversing with these two individuals. Even the police had become involved in the end. It was evident that even with Christopher Yard's martial skills, he would have suffered in the police station without the knowledge of Ronald Gill and others. In response to this, Christopher Yard sneered. He knew that it was too late for her to apologize now. Since you didn't appreciate the opportunity I gave you, there's no need to cherish it in the future. "Of course, you should prioritize taking care of your pregnancy. I am a doctor, and your baby is newly conceived, not even a week old. I don't want to be the cause of your miscarriage, just as it is not easy to cure Mr. Che's stomach problem." Christopher Yard looked coldly at Ding Ru and spoke slowly. Upon hearing Christopher Yard's words, Ding Ru's face turned extremely pale, and her body trembled even more. Her expression rapidly changed as she discreetly glanced at Che Rui and even clenched her fists. Che Rui, who stood beside them, heard Christopher Yard's words and noticed Ding Ru's lack of rebuttal. He blinked his eyes, and a hint of excitement appeared on his face. This could very well be true! This was great news! His wife couldn't conceive for some reason, which was one of the reasons he had an affair. But now, Ding Ru was actually pregnant. He was extremely excited. He would divorce the difficult woman at home and marry Ding Ru. Observing the excited expression on Che Rui's face, Christopher Yard raised his eyes slightly. Then, with a touch of mockery in his words, he said: "Mr. Che, I'm not so sure if the child in Ding Ru's belly is yours."Naturally, Christopher Yard couldn't determine at a glance whether the child in Ding Ru's belly belonged to Che Rui. But with his medical skills, he could still discern some clues. Even if Christopher Yard didn't possess medical skills, he would still make this statement. A woman who flirts with handsome men everywhere probably doesn't even know who the father of her child is. Upon hearing Christopher Yard's words, Che Rui's face turned pale. Yes, how could he not be aware of Ding Ru's personality? If he didn't value Ding Ru's beauty, he would have left her long ago. "Let's go to the hospital for a check-up. If we can't find out today, we'll continue tomorrow until we determine who the father of this child is." Filled with raging anger, Che Rui directly pulled Ding Ru beside him, regardless of her wrist turning pale, and hurriedly placed her in the car. Then, he headed towards the hospital. The onlookers were shocked when they witnessed Christopher Yard dealing with Che Rui and Ding Ru. Who is Che Rui? He is a figure more famous than Andy Dune and Harold Myers, one of the prominent figures in Brentwood City. He possesses numerous subsidiary companies and is involved in various industries, exerting significant influence on Brentwood City's economy. Over 90% of the people working in the company know Che Rui and are aware of his substantial impact. Even more people recognize Ding Ru, who stands beside him. Many of them can't help but lower their heads when they see Ding Ru because she has seduced them before and played with their emotions. It can be imagined that Ding Ru's reputation among men is no less than that of Che Rui. She is even more arrogant, relying on Che Rui. Che Rui knows the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, so there is almost no one in Brentwood City who can control Ding Ru. But now, these two individuals are actually bowing their heads and apologizing in front of Mr. Yard, causing the onlookers to quickly wipe their eyes. After confirming that what they are witnessing is not an illusion, they are completely shocked. The person behind Mr. Yard is so powerful that even the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee is not afraid. Or perhaps Mr. Yard has obtained some leverage over Che Rui, making him cautious. When Christopher Yard saw Che Rui fleeing in embarrassment, the coldness in his eyes did not diminish much. Brandon Sandler had mentioned that the Meng family had sent three groups to attack them, yet only Che Rui had come to apologize. The other two were nowhere to be found. When Christopher Yard entered Guoyi's interior and saw Brandon Sandler, his words left Christopher Yard stunned: "Mr. Yard, according to the information from the Jian family, the members of the other two groups were informed by the Meng family. They are currently attempting to contact the Su family. If the Su family provides assistance, it seems that dealing with the Jian family will not be easy." Upon hearing this news, Christopher Yard's face also darkened slightly. It appears that the Meng family is unwilling to let go of their grudge against him, Christopher Yard. Regardless of the Meng family's current motives, they are clearly targeting him. Since they want to target me and hinder my progress in earning more thumbs-up, then the Meng family should not exist in the end. Christopher Yard's eyes flickered for a moment before he spoke slowly. "Very well, since that's the case, I will make the Meng family utterly desperate."
