"Sigh, it's my fault," Grace said remorsefully. "I've neglected Sophia since she was young. She grew up with her father, and how could a man take proper care of a child? So, Sophia's health has never been good. She had a fever a few days ago. I didn't think much of it, but it turned out to be pneumonia. By the time we got to the hospital, the doctor said the baby might be at risk of miscarriage." "I don't believe you!" Carol slammed the teacup onto the coffee table, spilling the tea. She was furious. "Right now, let's go to the hospital. I don't trust a word you say." With that, Carol abruptly stood up, ready to storm into the kitchen. Grace hurriedly grabbed her. "Wait, don't be hasty. Sophia has been distressed about this too…" Carol wasn't a fool. Grace's attitude made her understand her intentions. She shouted, "She's probably secretly happy! She seduced a richer man and now wants to back out, right? I remember a few months ago, she used the baby to force Nathan to marry her. Now she has a better option and wants to kill my grandchild. You are too vicious! Let me tell you, I am not an idiot. This child must be born! If you cause a miscarriage, I will make sure everyone knows your true nature! As long as I'm around, Sophia can't marry into the Norman family!" Carol's words tore away the last pretense, and Grace stopped pretending to be kind. She crossed her arms and straightened up. She was taller than Carol, looking down at her haughtily. "Carol, let me tell you, if you continue to oppose me, I will help Emily. She and Nathan aren't divorced yet, are they? I'll pay for the best lawyer to make sure she takes half of your family's assets." Carol sneered. "What, do you want mutual destruction?" "I'm just suggesting we both take a step back for a better outcome." Grace leaned closer to Carol and lowered her voice. "Emily is living in my house right now. You know she's a timid person. If I befriend her, who do you think she'll believe, you or me? When they get divorced, I'll tell her how to split your family's assets. Can you bear that?" Carol certainly couldn't bear it. But the crux of the problem lay here. Although Emily and Nathan had signed the divorce agreement, they needed to go to the government to finalize it legally. Alternatively, Nathan could take the divorce agreement to court and have the marriage declared void. But Nathan was still infatuated with Emily and refused to take it to court! Carol had fought with Nathan many times over this. Recently, Nathan's career had taken a severe hit, and his personal life was also failing. He had become very irritable. After a few fights with Carol, he didn't want to go home anymore. He drank until late at night and refused to sleep at home. She couldn't even find Nathan. Now, her unborn grandchild was her only hope. To be honest, Carol was very dissatisfied with Sophia, even more so than with Emily, but Sophia was carrying the Reed family's first child. No matter how much she disliked Sophia, she had to reluctantly accept her. But now, Sophia wanted to abandon this child for another man. The news of Sophia's involvement with the Norman family had already spread. Carol quickly understood Sophia's intentions. Carol couldn't contain her anger. She came to Morgan's house to fight. But Sophia's attitude was extremely poor, and even Grace began to threaten her. Carol had never been so angry. Pointing a trembling finger at Grace, Carol shouted, "I won't let Emily take my family's assets, but this baby must be born. Grace, you need to have a conscience!" "You want to talk about conscience with me?" Grace sighed lightly. "You had no conscience toward your daughter-in-law, and now you dare accuse me of lacking it?" Carol was trembling with rage. "You…" Smack— "B.itch!" Carol snarled, "Grace, do you think you're someone important? You're a homewrecker! Don't think I don't know that Logan had a wife. You seduced him and now pretend to be a noble lady. You're just a b.itch." Grace's face was slapped so hard that it turned to the side. Her long hair covered her expression, making it unclear what she was thinking. Sophia rushed out from the kitchen to support Grace. "Mom! Mom, are you okay?" Grace turned her head and winked at her. Sophia didn't understand Grace's signal. She just stood there. Grace was a bit annoyed by Sophia's stupidity. She mouthed the words: miscarriage. Then, she glanced at the still furious Carol.This time, Sophia finally understood. She immediately started to cry. "How can you hit my mom? You b.itch! I'll kill you!" "What did you say? You and your mother are both homewreckers, and you dare to curse me?!" "So what if I curse you? You hit my mom; I'll kill you!" Carol shouted, "I'll not only hit your mom, but I'll also hit you, you b.itch. You're pregnant with Nathan's child and still fooling around with other men! Today, I'll beat you to death for my son!" Carol grabbed Sophia's hair. Sophia screamed in pain and flailed her arms in defense. Carol, receiving a few hits, grew even angrier. Her slaps and punches began to rain heavily on Sophia's back, arms, and belly… Grace had been waiting for this moment. When Carol's fist was about to hit Sophia's belly, she gritted her teeth and pushed Sophia from behind, causing her belly to collide heavily with Carol's fist.
