The Richest Man in Metropolis is My Backer by Dream Searcher

Chapter 307

I was reminded of Edward’s presence from earlier and turn to her. “Girl, you just retninded me.”

“What?”

“Edith’s pregnant.”

“Whaaat?!”

“She got pregnant from that… And there were two of them! Then… who?”

“There’s no way she’d keep the child, so it doesn’t matter. Filward hoped I’d let the case go, but I’ve already asked my lawyer about this. There’s no point in settling outside of court.”

“And why should you?” Jean croaked angrily. “She brought this on herself. It was either you or her!”

“Do you think I might be too…. cold–hearted?” I asked hesitantly.

“Being kind to them is like casting pearls before swine!” she pointed out. “So why bother?”

Jean was right. Even if I agreed to settle outside of court, the Kennedys wouldn’t stop. They might even twist my generosity into an admission of guilt.
