Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

"So, this little one of mine isn't so precious anymore? What's the point of bringing them into the world if I can't use this to get into the Bennett family?" Margot spat, her voice dripping with bitterness. "Useless thing! I've gone through so much carrying you, and you can't
