Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 1652: A gig from hell

freewebnovel.com

Priscilla was exactly as Jessa had described her: ambitious, opportunistic, and a terrible person who didn't care if she stepped on others to get what she wanted. Priscilla would never deny that because that was who she was.

However, Jessa was wrong about one thing: that Priscilla just used her brother for her own gain.

No.

Priscilla loved Jason with all her heart and soul.

They met young, fell for each other at first sight, and became inseparable. They would have done anything for each other and spent their days dreaming about the future together. He was everything to her, and he also claimed the same - that his world was her.

But then, somehow, something changed.

Jessa's brother, Jason, suddenly wanted to leave Priscilla for reasons unknown. He said he was tired of her, that things had become boring, and that the spark between them was gone.

Just like that, he had a change of heart.

In the heat of the moment, Priscilla blurted out, "But I'm pregnant."

She swore she hadn't meant to lie-but the words slipped out before she could stop them. And at that time, abortion was illegal in Anteca. Even for those who offered it under the table, it was too expensive for two students barely getting by.

Priscilla could have corrected herself and admitted it was a lie.

That it was nothing more than a desperate attempt to keep him from leaving. That she didn't mean to deceive him.

But she didn't. Not because she couldn't-but because after that, Jason promised her the world. He took care of her, made vows to be a good father and husband, and told her he would support their child no matter what.

And the first step toward that future was introducing her to his parents.
