Chapter 1059 What Happened That Night
In a fit of rage, he threw the cup. It was an act of pure instinct without the slightest hint of consideration.
The water cup, in the end, struck Rainie hard in the abdomen.
The moment the water cup hit her lower abdomen, her entire face turned pale, and her body
instinctively curled up as her face contorted in pain.
Sylvester couldn't bear to see her shocked and pained expression, yet he couldn't help but worry.
I must have lost my mind to have acted so recklessly just now.
Anyone with a shred of sanity wouldn't have aimed for her stomach.
There, a tiny life was being nurtured. Even though it wasn't his, it was still a part of her, a piece of her
flesh. No matter how furious he was, he had no intention of forcefully ending it.
Suppressing the urge to rush over and check on her, he turned his head toward Mason, who was
standing dumbfounded at the side, and barked, “What are you standing there for? Get her out of here,
now! If she gets my floor dirty, you and your father will definitely face the consequences. Don't blame
me for not considering family ties then.”
Mason's face changed instantly, fully aware that he had angered this beast today. If he delayed any
further, he wouldn't just lose a few branch offices, but he would be swept out the door.
“I'm leaving now, and I'm taking her with me.”
After Mason finished speaking, he grabbed Rainie's arm and began to drag her toward the door.
Sylvester's face turned dark with anger.
This jerk! Can't he see she's in pain? He's so crude. Is he intentionally trying to make her miscarry?
Does he realize that what he possesses now is what I once dreamed of?
If possible, Sylvester would be willing to trade his status as the heir of the Hollett family with him.
Rainie bit her lip tightly and reached out to grasp the shelf. She looked up at Sylvester, her face full of
defiance and an unyielding spirit.
“Mr. Hollett, you haven't given me an answer yet.”
Sylvester abruptly closed his eyes. It was unclear what he was thinking. He was eerily calm. Only the
slight trembling of his shoulders betrayed his inner thoughts.
This woman... How could you? Do you have to drive me into a corner like this?
Sylvester had had enough. He simply couldn't bear to see her clearly in pain, yet forcing herself to put
on a cheerful facade.
“Mason, I will assign two people to help you manage the branch office affairs. As for the family, no one
will give you a hard time.”
“For now, you'll stay in Hallsbay. Without my permission, you're not allowed to step out of Hallsbay,
understood?”
He knew Mason's character all too well. Mason was certainly not the kind of man to whom one could
entrust their entire life.
He didn't understand why Rainie would fall for such a man, but since it was her choice, and one she
was determined to uphold, he would respect her decision.
If she were well, then he would have no regrets in his life.
The reason he previously confined her in the nightclub was to sever her connection with Mason. He
wished to seek another way out for himself and to fight for the love of his life.
Even the best-laid plans of man could not outwit the will of the heavens. He could never truly defeat
fate.
No one knew how desperate he felt the moment he found out she was pregnant.
He knew full well that it meant there would be no future between them anymore.
Unless he ruthlessly chose to kill the unborn child in her womb to forcefully keep her by his side, there
was no way out for them. He felt utterly hopeless.
However, if he truly caused the death of her child, what love could possibly remain in their lives? Most
likely, all that would be left was endless hatred and resentment.
That was not what he wanted nor what he pursued.
Now that he had become involved with Karina, he felt too ashamed of himself to love Rainie anymore,
let alone be heartless and betray Karina, subjecting her to criticism and ruining her reputation.
“Rainie, Rainie...”
The startled cry of Mason echoed in his ears, pulling Sylvester back from his wandering thoughts.
He lifted his gaze, only to see that Rainie had already fainted on the floor.
Seeing this scene, he instinctively wanted to rush over, but his strong self-restraint kept him from acting
impulsively.
Starting from today, this woman would have nothing to do with him anymore.
“What are you standing there for? Hurry up and take her to the hospital. If this turns fatal, you can
count on the elders to kick you out of the family,” Sylvester yelled.
Startled by his roar, Mason quickly came to his senses. He scooped up Rainie in his arms and dashed
out of the room.
Karina hadn't uttered a single word from the beginning, but today's events met her expectations,
leaving her satisfied.
After seeing Mason carry Rainie away, she tearfully looked at Sylvester and choked out, “I'm sorry, it's
all my fault. If I had knocked you out last night, none of this would have happened. It seems like Rainie
is quite upset. Did I somehow ruin the relationship between you two? Should I go and explain things to
her?”
Sylvester reached out, pulling the quilt over her, then gently stroked her head, speaking softly, “It's not
your fault. I'm the one who did you wrong. Don't overthink it. Just act as you usually do. There's no
need to feel guilty. We're in Hallsbay now, and there's not much we can do. We can discuss the
marriage matters once we return home.”
A hint of joy appeared in Karina's eyes.
She hadn't expected him to agree to the marriage so easily. This had exceeded her expectations. How
could she not be overjoyed?
“All right, we'll do everything your way.”
Bailey had originally planned to visit the embroiderer. However, just as her car was leaving the
mansion, she received a call from her subordinate.
Her subordinate reported that Rainie went to meet Sylvester with Mason at Lunar Bar, and that a
dispute had broken out among them in the private room.
In the end, Rainie was carried out by Mason, unconscious and seemingly in a serious condition. They
were rushing to the hospital.
After hearing this, Bailey had no interest in meeting any embroideress. She ordered her driver to turn
around and head to the hospital, then instructed her subordinates to investigate what exactly had
happened in the suite thoroughly.
Twenty minutes later, Bailey arrived at the hospital. Upon learning that Rainie had been rushed into the
emergency treatment room, she hurriedly made her way there.
Rainie was experiencing complications with her pregnancy. The situation was seemingly dire. The
doctor was currently working on saving her.
Bailey cast a cold gaze at Mason, who was trembling against the wall. Her eyes were sharp, subtly
radiating an aura of solemnity and lethality.
Always pampered and privileged, Mason couldn't bear such a gaze. He instinctively shrank back, NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
retreating two steps back.
“M-Ms. Jefferson, it wasn't me. I didn't cause Rainie to end up like this. It was Sylvester, yes, it was
Sylvester. He picked up the glass and smashed it hard into Rainie's stomach. If you want to settle
scores, go find him. Don't target me.”
With a cold gaze, Bailey looked at him, her eyes full of contempt.
Such a person was simply not worthy of Rainie.
Even if Rainie had truly been involved with him, Bailey couldn't just stand by and watch her stoop
herself so low.
“Let me ask you, what exactly happened that night over a month ago?”
Mason's eyes flickered somewhat evasively. He stuttered a couple of sentences, then fell silent.
Bailey's face darkened. She reached for a gun from her waist and pointed it directly at him.
Mason was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground.
If it were someone else, they might hesitate to use weapons in public, but Bailey did not have such
reservations.
Hallsbay was the territory of the Luther family. Adding on top of the prowess of the Shurmer family,
even if she were to kill the top figure in the city, no one would probably dare to touch her.
“Do you want to speak of your own accord, or do you want me to force you to? If you're choosing the
latter option, it wouldn't be so pleasant. I'd surely shoot a few holes in you first.”
