Chapter 4
Colin was startled by Wallace’s roar and instinctively dropped the rope. He had always been terrified of his uncle, the Cold–faced King, ever since he was a child.
But when Colin saw Bryan walking in behind Wallace, he calmed down. In the entire Thomson family, he was the only grandson, and Bryan treated him like the apple of his eye.
He rushed over and hugged Bryan, deliberately shedding a couple of tears as he said, “Grandpa, I’ve missed you so much these past three years.”
Irene also stepped forward. As the adopted daughter of the Thomson family, she wasn’t close to Bryan like Colin, but she still stood by the side and said, “Grandpa, Colin and I know our mistakes. Colin has decided to go ahead and complete the wedding with Ms. Scott. But who knows…”
Colin spoke with bitter anger, “But this bitch is so shameless, cheating behind my back and getting pregnant with a bastard, trying to pass it off as the Thomson family’s heir!
“But don’t worry, Grandpa, I’ve already made sure that bastard child in her womb is gone. I won’t let our family be disgraced!”
Hearing this, Bryan shoved Colin aside and finally saw me by the poolside, barely conscious.
Wallace rushed to my side, his hands trembling as he untied the ropes binding my limbs. Seeing the blood pouring from my lower body, his voice shook with fear. “Joanna, are you okay?”
I looked at Wallace and cried. “Wallace… Save our baby…”

Bryan couldn’t believe what he was seeing, raised his cane, and struck Colin hard. “You monster, what have you done?!”
Colin dodged while angrily glaring at me. “Grandpa, Joanna carries the title Mrs. Thomson, but she’s been cheating on me. You and Uncle Wallace were both deceived by her. I never touched her, and the baby isn’t
mine.”
Irene chimed in, “That’s right, Grandpa. Colin and I just returned home today, and she’s already six or seven months pregnant. It must be a bastard of unknown origin.”
Bryan hit Irene with the cane. “The baby in Joanna’s belly isn’t a bastard, it’s our family’s child.”
Colin yelled, “Grandpa, this is impossible! I never touched her!”
Wallace picked me up, as I was bleeding profusely, walked over, and kicked Colin to the ground. His eyes burned with murderous intent as he glared at Colin and Irene.
“If anything happens to the baby, I’ll make you pay with your lives!”
Then, he carried me and rushed me to the hospital.
Colin was terrified by the murderous intent from Wallace and didn’t dare to make a sound. Once Wallace left, he took a deep breath and looked at
Bryan.
“Grandpa, Uncle Wallace has gone mad. How could he want me to pay with my life just for that slut and the bastard child in her belly?”
Irene whispered, “Colin, what if this whole thing is a scheme between Joanna and Uncle Wallace? Uncle Wallace can’t have children, so maybe he plans to use the bastard in Joanna’s belly to take your inheritance?”

Colin immediately turned to Bryan. “Grandpa, you have to stand up for me! All of our family’s assets belong to me. They can’t go to outsiders!”
Seeing that the two of them were still clueless even in the face of danger, Bryan angrily hit Colin on the head with his cane.
“I’ve always been smart. How could I have such a stupid grandson like you?
“The baby in Joanna’s belly is not a bastard, it’s Wallace’s child.”
