Lewis had already left for quite some time, yet the Reed family still hadn’t recovered from the shock of their sudden stroke

of luck.

“Dad, am I really going to work at Hartman Group?” Rupert was still doubtful. “That company is even bigger than Watson Group. Their salary and benefits are way better.

“But didn’t you say he was just an ordinary white–collar worker at Hartman Group? Does he really have the power to get me a job there?”

“We’ll see if he has the ability once you actually get into Hartman Group.” Jimmy remained skeptical.

Rupert’s employment was important, but that one million dollars still had to be repaid on his own.

“Of course, I want to work at Hartman Group. My life will be set if I do.” Rupert was elated and grabbed Claudia’s hand. “Honey, aren’t you happy?”

“It’s better not to celebrate too soon. Wait until you actually start working there.” Claudia remained much calmer compared to Rupert’s excitement.

“You’re right.” Rupert finally toned down his smile a little.

“You both promised before that my parents‘ one million dollar debt to Ryan had nothing to do with me or Rupert. You can’t go back on your word now.” Claudia made her stance clear. “This house belongs to Rupert and me now, and I will never agree to sell it.

“If you insist on selling the house, then I’ll go and terminate the pregnancy right now–there’s no point bringing a child into this world if they won’t even have a home.”

The Reed family cared about the baby in her belly. That was the only leverage she had against them. The reason she married Rupert was for this house.

Rupert’s face turned deathly pale. “Honey, what nonsense are you saying? How can you even think about getting rid of our baby? That’s our love’s fruit. You can’t do this. My parents aren’t like that.”

“I need them to give me a clear answer,” Claudia insisted.

“We’ll figure out a way to repay the money. We won’t sell the house you and Rupert live in.” Jimmy finally compromised. “You two should head home.”

Peyton clutched the blanket anxiously. “Claudia, just focus on taking care of yourself. Rupert, you must take good care of Claudia and the baby. Nothing must happen to them, understand?”

“Yes, Dad, Mom, I will.” Rupert supported Claudia. “Honey, let’s go home.”

“Get some rest,” Claudia didn’t press any further now that she had gotten the answer she wanted.
