Chapter 917: Drawing A Line
“What… what did you just say? You… you’re actually pregnant with this punk’s child?” Samuel pointed at Lucas, his face full of disbelief.
If the father of the child in Pamela’s stomach was an heir of a noble family in DC, Samuel would definitely be overjoyed.
Yet it belonged to the punk in front of him!
Samuel’s mood immediately became worse. He still hadn’t figured out Lucas’s identity, and Lucas had just embarrassed the Howards. There was no way he could let him off easily…
Then, how should he deal with Lucas next?
Should he spare Lucas for the sake of his grandson in Pamela’s stomach? Or should he be even more annoyed and kill this bastard who had the audacity to tarnish his daughter…
While Samuel was hesitating, Lucas suddenly stepped to the side to avoid the hand that Pamela was reaching out to hold his arm. He said calmly, “Miss Howard, don’t talk nonsense. You and I have only met twice by chance, and we’ve had no intimate contact. How could I have possibly gotten you pregnant?
“Besides, I’m already married and have a five-year-old daughter. How could I have gotten intimate with you?”
What Lucas said immediately made the people around him dumbfounded!
W-what’s going on?
…
Pamela actually said that she was pregnant with this man’s child, but he denied having anything to do with her. He even denied the existence of the child.
Wow! So thrilling!
Is this a day of gossip about wealthy families? They’ve been saying so much. Who knows what’s real and what’s fake!
The people in the hall immediately imagined all sorts of corny and dramatic scenarios about whether Pamela was pregnant or not and whether there was any history between Lucas and her!
After Lucas revealed the truth so bluntly, Pamela immediately showed a stunned expression.
She had already sacrificed her innocence to save Lucas’s life. Why did this man reveal the truth?
This was the Howard residence!
If Samuel really lost his temper and decided to kill Lucas, there was no way Lucas could escape from the Howards!
Pamela was so anxious that she couldn’t wait to cover Lucas’s mouth.
On the other hand, Samuel flew into a rage as soon as he heard what Lucas said. “Punk, what are you saying? You’ve tarnished my daughter, but you’re not going to admit it now?”
He didn’t think his daughter was lying in public. After all, it wasn’t easy for an unmarried woman to admit in public that she was pregnant. She would almost undoubtedly be frowned upon, and people would simply think that she was a shameless and wonton woman with no self-respect.
It was especially a disgraceful matter for the top families of DC like the Howards!
Thus, he didn’t believe that his daughter made this up and ruined her reputation!
But this damned punk actually refused to admit it and instead insisted that there was nothing between him and his daughter!
He simply had a death wish!
Samuel could look down on Lucas and not acknowledge as his son-in-law, but Lucas refusing to admit to this matter was blatant bullying of his daughter and the Howards!
Samuel’s anger immediately erupted, and fire burned in his eyes as he stared straight at Lucas, wishing he could kill this bastard who toyed with his daughter and refused to admit it!
Lucas faced the furious Samuel calmly and enunciated word by word. “I said, I’ve only met your daughter twice by chance, and we’re not even considered friends. So how could we possibly have an intimate relationship?”
He merely explained clearly that there was no intimate relationship between him and Pamela and didn’t say anything else on account that Pamela was willing to take a bullet for him earlier.
Otherwise, if another woman suddenly popped out of nowhere and claimed that she was carrying his child, Lucas would have never let her off easily.
Pamela turned deathly pale as she stared blankly at Lucas’s calm face. She felt as if she had been stabbed in the heart.
It turned out that… in Lucas’s heart, she was just a stranger he had only met twice, and they weren’t even considered friends…
Although the truth was indeed so, Pamela still felt extremely sad and heartbroken.
The fact that the man she loved just drew a line with her made Pamela feel heartbroken. Tears welled up in her eyes before rolling down her face and dripping onto the carpet.
“You bastard! My daughter is already weeping so miserably. How dare you say that there’s nothing between you two?!”
Seeing how agonized Pamela was, Samuel knew that she was obviously heartbroken because of this scumbag. He lost his temper and hollered at Lucas, “You dog! What kind of a man are you? You don’t even dare to own up to your actions!
“Oh right, you just said you’re married and have a five-year-old daughter, right? Damn it! How dare you mess with my daughter when you’re already married? You’re really bold!”
Lucas was speechless for a while, but he realized that Pamela was crying at this moment. He couldn’t help feeling troubled. “Why… why are you crying? There’s nothing between us, and we don’t have a child. You should hurry up and make things clear to them!”
Lucas had always been a restrained man. He had always refrained from having close contact with other women, especially after he fell in love with Cheyenne. Yet he was being accused of getting another woman pregnant in front of so many people. He felt extremely aggrieved too.
Besides, if Cheyenne heard about it, how could he continue to live?
Thus, he wanted Pamela to quickly explain things to everyone to clear up the misunderstanding!
But after hearing what Lucas said, not only did Pamela not explain, but she even teared up even more uncontrollably.
Turns out… he’s dead set against having anything to do with me, and he can’t wait to draw a line between us…
Pamela choked for a long time before saying sobbingly, “Dad… Actually, I lied to you. I’m not pregnant with his child, nor do I have anything on with him. D-don’t blame him or hurt him, okay?”
Pamela did explain, but her explanation sounded like an excuse to defend a scumbag who broke her heart. It sounded like she would rather suffer herself to do what he wanted her to do.
Samuel was furious! “You scoundrel! How dare you bully my daughter in front of me? You clearly did something you shouldn’t have, but you still refuse to admit it. Are you still a man? If not for my daughter’s sake, I would have already shot you dead!
“I’m telling you. From now on, you are my son-in-law! If you dare to bully my daughter again, you’ll see how I’ll deal with you!”
Samuel glowered at Lucas, his fists clenched tightly. He wanted to go over to punch him right away!
After Lucas heard what Samuel said, his mouth widened in shock. He was dumbfounded! What’s going on?
Pamela had already explained that she had nothing to do with him. Why did Samuel still claim that he was his son-in-law?
Hey!
He didn’t even ask for consent!
