Chapter 101

“I will be staying in my flat and have the DNA on my own time,” Charlotte said. “The Beaumont Family will then start paying for everything that this child needs, and we can arrange visitation rights once I give birth. You cannot-”

“I thought it would be appropriate to still call you Lockhart, knowing that your father tried to poison and kill Eunice and Sofia Lockhart,” Alexander leaned back and gave her an infuriating smirk. “Or did you believe that you still deserve to be called a Lockhart after everything that you did?”

Charlotte narrowed. She already expected this to happen. “I am still the mother of a Beaumont.”

“Are you?” Alexander smirked. “As far as I know… you were already in Europe when the child was conceived. My brother was not with you. So…

“This is Daniel’s child!” Charlotte said.

However, Alexander got up.

Alexander lifted an eyebrow. “You can act sweet and innocent, but I can assure you that destroying your life would be as easy as killing a fly. It’s simple. It’s easy.
