Chapter 136: Chapter 136

"Of course, get rid of it. Why keep it?" Mrs. Smith scolded displeasedly. She expressed great dissatisfaction with Doctor Alan's unnecessary question. Did they still want Flora to keep this child to continue tormenting Maxwell?

"Well, yes... I'm sorry, madam." Doctor Alan stammered, apologizing sincerely. He cursed himself for being too talkative! To avoid angering Mrs. Smith, he quickly retreated.

As Doctor Alan passed by Maxwell, he bowed slightly, and Maxwell glanced at him, calmly saying, "First, let her recover before dealing with her child." With that, he walked away without looking back.

He still couldn't bring himself to forcefully kill the child in Flora's belly, even if it was Kevin's child, even if he hated it to the bone! The shame associated with it weighed on his head. He could even imagine Kevin's triumphant handsome face, announcing victory with a smirk. He didn't dare to think about it!

Yet, there was a faint anticipation in his heart, hoping that Flora was deceiving him. For the sake of confronting him, for the sake of provoking him! In any case, that bold woman would use any means to resist him!

However, why did he still hope that the child in Flora's belly was his? Even if it were, apart from the vanity of never being betrayed, what else? Would he really not want it, as he had just said?

Maxwell had never deeply pondered this question. His initial reaction when Flora asked him was indeed rejection. Because his relationship with Flora was too special, it shouldn't be hindered by a child.

Now, with a little more calmness, did he still feel the same way? This question was truly tormenting. Maxwell clenched his fist and fiercely slammed it on the steering wheel, deciding not to think about it anymore!

The car sped along a private road, and the forceful wind created by the high speed brushed against Maxwell's handsome face. However, it couldn't dispel the gloom on his face.

Today was the day of the Davis Family Group's board meeting. In order to keep Mrs. Davis, who used to be a board member, informed about the company's operations, Kevin invited her to attend the meeting, just like he did every year.

Today, the two of them left the Davis home together. Sitting in the front passenger seat, Mrs. Davis turned around, looked at Kevin with a smile, and said, "Actually, you don't have to drag me to attend the board meeting anymore. Since I've handed over the company to you, it's because I trust your ability, isn't it?"

Kevin smiled and said, "Mom, since you're bored at home anyway, why not come along and listen to the past and future thoughts and suggestions of the directors? Maybe you'll even find some projects that interest you."

"Oh, I've been in charge of the company for more than twenty years. I'm already fed up with those scenes, but luckily now they just let me listen. I don't have to preside over it anymore," Mrs. Davis laughed heartily.

She naturally sensed Kevin's intentions. He deliberately opened up the transparency of the company's operations to her, probably to prevent her from worrying. He was indeed a thoughtful child!

After a moment of silence, Mrs. Davis looked at Kevin with concern and asked, "I've noticed you've been gloomy these past few days, and you've been running home more often. What's going on?" She didn't believe that her son would suddenly change his ways overnight and engage with those women who were arranged by her.

"Nothing, Mom. You always say I'm not attached to home, so I just came back more often. What's wrong? Do you think I'm coming back too diligently?" Kevin glanced at Mrs. Davis in the rearview mirror and casually smiled.

Beneath his charming smile, a hint of helplessness flashed by. Did he have to tell Mrs. Davis that his recent troubles were because of a woman? Especially a woman originally meant to provoke Maxwell.

The car slowly entered the venue for the board meeting—the underground parking lot of the Moonlight Hotel. After parking the car, both got out simultaneously. Just as they were about to step towards the elevator, Kevin suddenly felt a wave of cold air for no apparent reason.

His body shivered slightly, and then he saw Maxwell, who had walked out of the nearby car. So that was it! It turned out the mysterious cold aura attacking him came from Maxwell's piercing gaze!

Why was he here? And he came in person? Kevin felt both surprised and disdainful. Gazing at the prickly Maxwell, he mocked, "Mr. Maxwell, long time no see!"

Mrs. Davis, who had never seen the two of them appearing together, was both shocked and suspicious, filled with unease! A week ago, she might have covered her mouth and laughed at this rare occasion, standing on the side with a look of anticipation.

However, after Kevin's disappearance incident, she finally realized how important Kevin was to her. Her perspective suddenly changed, becoming worried and fearful. Afraid that Kevin might be harmed!

Whether it was Maxwell or Mrs. Smith, she didn't want him to see them again, never again! As long as Kevin was safe, peacefully carrying out his duties as the Davis heir, the successor of the Davis family business!

Maxwell stood coldly by the car door, staring at him. Two identical faces, staring at each other without giving in. One was as cold as frost, and the other was wicked and unrestrained, creating an atmosphere of irreconcilable conflict. Mrs. Davis, standing on the side, was so nervous that she held her breath and dared not even take a deep breath while watching the confrontation.

Finally, Maxwell stared at Kevin, moved his lips, and asked coldly, "Is the child in Flora's belly yours?"

Kevin was slightly surprised, finally understanding why he was harboring so much hostility. It turned out to be about Flora. It seems that this young girl was quite formidable, making Mr. Maxwell go to such great lengths for her.

Flora was pregnant, and Maxwell came here to question him. It seemed that Flora didn't tell Maxwell the truth, and instead pinned the blame on him.

She's really a ruthless person, not involving him in anything good but readily shifting the blame for anything bad? Doesn't she worry that he would be killed by Maxwell?

Kevin didn't know Flora's intentions and was at a loss for how to respond. He lowered his gaze and began to ponder.
