Elizabeth paused, "This is our family matter, an outsider like you has no right and is rude to intervene."
Dolores said calmly, "I've always been a family member of Theresa."
She then tidied up Theresa's jacket and said, "Leave everything behind, I will buy you new stuff."
Dolores glanced at Armand, "I'm extremely disappointed at you, Armand. Theresa has been tolerating
while you took advantage of her kindness."
Theresa was calm too, she didn't act out of rash but after thorough consideration, "Think about it and
come meet me with the divorce paper."
She held Dolores' hand, "Let's go."
She didn't want to stay here any longer, Dolores nodded and walked out holding her.
Dolores called the driver and instructed him to wait at the entrance as they walked out of the elevator.
The car was already waiting when they arrived at the entrance, Dolores opened the door at the back
and helped Theresa got into the car before she got on.
"Go home," Dolores instructed the driver.
The driver nodded and they headed home.
In the apartment, what happened was out of Elizabeth's prediction.
Armand who remained knelt on the ground since Theresa left fell seated.
"I don't care who you want to be with as long as you produce an heir," Elizabeth said stubbornly. She
disregarded Armand's feelings even after Theresa asked for a divorce.
Armand stared blankly at one spot with his reddened eyes, "A child?"
"Dora is still a virgin, she agreed to have your baby with only a hundred fifty thousand dollars,"
Elizabeth explained while Dora looked at the floor.
Armand didn't seem surprised by Elizabeth's weird suggestion. He smiled lightly and turned to Dora,
"Do you agree?"
Dora kept looking at the floor quietly.
"She's still young, don't scare her." Elizabeth didn't know exactly what Armand was thinking right now,
he was smiling but not sincere.
"This is the reason why you insisted on hiring a young caretaker?" Armand said as he stood up slowly
by pushing on the ground with his hands. "What if I refuse?" Armand asked, swaying.
"What's wrong with you? It's not a big deal, all you need to do is impregnate Dora and continue your life
with Theresa. You don't have to be separated from Theresa at the same time you'll have a child, isn't it
good?" Elizabeth thought this was the best solution, good for everyone.
Armand's lips trembled. "A child? Excellent! What a great plan this is."
A loud bag followed as he flipped the coffee table, the glass broke into pieces on the floor and created
a mess.
Elizabeth turned pale while Dora who stood behind her fell a step behind.
They were both startled by his action and stayed frozen for a while.
"Armand!" Elizabeth called out nervously, "Calm down."
"I'm not upset. You've everything planned out for me. Sending me a woman, concerning about my
future generation, there's nothing for me to be upset about, I should be grateful to you." He walked
towards Elizabeth, put his hands on the wheelchair's handles, staring at her.
Elizabeth tried to stay calm.
"I come from a poor family and am willing to be a surrogate mom. I ask only for money, I won't be a
trouble." Dora said as she went back to her original position.
Armand looked up while Dora didn't avoid and looked straight back at him.
"You want only money, won't create a problem?" Armand smiled.
"Yes, it's true." Dora looked sincere.
Armand smiled coldly, "Oh, so, you proposed to grandma?"
"No, I didn't…"
"It was my idea." Elizabeth defended Dora immediately and it was indeed her idea. Dora was young
and average-looking, so she asked not knowing her mind; surprisingly, she agreed.
Armand straightened up angrily and thrown himself onto the sofa, resting one foot on the flipped table.
He looked at Dora and judging her, "Where did you graduate?"
Dora lowered her gaze, "I've never attended university."
"What are your strengths?"
"I'm a caretaker." Dora thought Armand questioned because he agreed to it. 'If I could earn a hundred
fifty thousand dollars by being a surrogate mom, I will quit being a caretaker and open up a fashion
store or something.'
She had never thought of staying at the Bernie, she knew it was not a wise decision since she entered
the residence as a caretaker, her impression as a caretaker meant her status would always be lower
than the others.
She thought Armand was good-looking and rich, she didn't lose anything in this deal, a hundred fifty
thousand dollars in just ten months was worth it.
"Are you good in pleasing a man?" Armand looked calm but his words were sharp as a knife.
"Armand…"
"I'm asking her, grandma, can you not interrupt?" Armand said without even looking at Elizabeth. He
took a handkerchief to wipe his hands but couldn't wipe off the dirt, so he threw it away.
"I can learn," Dora replied with her head lowered.
"Learn? You know nothing and want to earn a hundred fifty thousand dollars using your uterus alone?"
Armand looked at her in despised. "First, you are not educated, second, you know nothing about
pleasing a man. You are not good-looking, skin is not fair without a good body shape. You look cheap
and unworthy of a hundred fifty thousand dollars. If you are willing to sell, I can consider about it. A
pound of premium pork meat cost about five dollars fifty, I can offer you six dollars, deal?"
Dora bit her lips, "Stop humiliating me, it was Madame's idea, I accepted it as goodwill to produce a
child for you."
"Oh, I should be forever grateful then?" Armand lost his temper and kicked a few times on the table.
"Get lost now! And you will receive a complaint letter!"
"What have I done wrong?" Dora didn't believe that Armand would kick her out.
"Calm down, Armand." Elizabeth didn't know Armand would take such an extreme measure too, she
said softly, "Just listen and fulfill my dream, produce a child, will you?"
Armand picked up the jacket on the floor, put it on his arm, and stared fiercely at Dora, "Get lost now, or
do want to go to jail? I can easily send you in if you want to."
This was the first time Dora had seen a vicious side of Armand. She was frightened but tried to stay
strong, "I didn't do anything wrong, you can't send me to jail as you pleased, there are laws."
