How on earth did he manage to charm a girl like this?
Even General Darwin felt a deep wave of pity for Yolanda, which only highlighted just how pathetic Reggie truly was.
He hesitated for a moment but ultimately decided he couldn't let the girl ruin her life.
"Yolanda, if my grandson were a decent man, I'd be the first to encourage you to wait for him."
"But he's just not worth it."
"Forget the fact that he's a coward who runs away instead of facing his family."
"Just look at his track record right here in this hospital. He's reckless and selfish. I'm begging you to reconsider!"
The old man had laid all his cards on the table. By all logic, Yolanda should have walked away.
Yet, she remained stubbornly rooted in her belief that Reggie would eventually turn around.
Right at that moment, a young nurse came storming toward the intensive care unit.
"I demand to see General Darwin! I'm Reggie's girlfriend, and I'm pregnant with his child!"
She was practically screaming, leaving Noah no time to intervene.
Claire, meanwhile, didn't even twitch to stop her.
She was entirely too invested in watching the drama unfold.
"Keep your voice down! You can claim whatever you want, but how do we know you're telling the truth?"
Noah hissed sharply.
He carried himself with an impressive air of authority for his age.
But Tiffany wasn't backing down. "I have proof! I even have a recording of Reggie admitting it himself!"
"And if that's not enough, we can do a paternity test the second this baby is born!" Tiffany had somehow caught wind that Reggie's actual fiancée was in the building.
She had marched up here with the sole intention of making enough noise for everyone inside to hear.
Just as Noah signaled for the security guards to drag her away, Tiffany pulled a knife and pressed it against her own throat.
"Don't touch me! I need to see the General, or I swear I'll end my life and the Darwin heir right here!"
The threat hung heavy in the air.
It was completely unhinged, but terrifyingly effective.
Noah didn't dare call her bluff.
The two guards froze, completely at a loss.
They exchanged a frantic look before trying to talk her down.
"Miss, you need to calm down. We can arrange a meeting with the General."
"But you have to wait until he's
stabilized. His condition is extremely
volatile, and the 'doctory
his treatment."
"You can see him tomorrow."
Tiffany wasn't about to listen; she had clearly been coached by

"No!"
"I'm seeing him right now, or I'll destroy this family's reputation! I recorded a video before I came up here. The second I die, the news that the Darwins drove a pregnant woman to suicide will be
everywhere."
The girl definitely knew how to leverage a threat.
Backed into a corner, what could the Darwin family possibly do?
The guards looked at Noah, silently urging him to get the General.
Noah's face was dark. With her screaming like a lunatic, the old man had undoubtedly heard everything.
No amount of soundproofing could drown out that level of hysteria.
Sure enough, the door opened, and Yolanda stepped out.
"What is going on out here?"
General Darwin might have been frail, but his hearing was perfectly fine.
Tiffany instantly lunged toward the open door.
Yolanda blocked her path like a brick wall. "Who are you, and what do you think you're doing?"
Tiffany pressed the blade closer to her neck. "I'm Reggie's girlfriend, and I'm carrying his baby!"
"Get out of my way, or you'll have two deaths on your conscience!"
What an absolute psycho.
Yolanda was completely fed up.
But as she processed the girl's words, her expression darkened.
"You say you're his girlfriend? Well, I'm his fiancée!"
