Brittany flipped through the file for only a few seconds before slamming it shut. "Are you threatening me?"

She should have known better. At his core, Eltham was a madman.

Eltham took her hand. "As long as you go through with the procedure, none of this information will ever see the light of day... If you refuse, then Isaac's crime will be exposed. Even though he's not from Craneville, committing a crime within its borders will lead to royal retribution!"

"Not to mention how A country will deal with him!"

Brittany clenched her teeth hard, finally bursting out, "You-"

"Bri, for his sake, and for ours, just agree, please."

Shaking all over with rage, Brittany finally wrenched her hand away, her eyes red-rimmed. "You think by forcing me to get rid of my baby, I'd stay with you?" "In your dreams!"

The taste of being coerced was unbearably bitter.

Eltham remained silent.
