CHAPTER 120: CHAPTER 120: PLANNING TO KILL

Amber was understandably shocked to hear this shocking revelation, which was actually in line with her expectations. Matthias and Victoria had traveled together several times, and it was impossible not to do so at all. She was convinced Victoria always booked a hotel room so she could sleep with Matthias every night. Victoria did this almost every night so she could get pregnant quickly and officially become Matthias’s wife without any effort. Now she had to figure out a way to marry Matthias sooner than she had originally planned.

"What? How did you know?" Amber asked in a panicked tone.

"Luckily, that day, I accompanied my friend to visit the obstetrician at the hospital. But I happened to see Matthias and Victoria coming out of the obstetrics consultation room. They were very happy, carrying an envelope."

Amber slammed the table violently. "Victory is really bitch! If I had been more assertive, she wouldn’t have dared to do it in secret! I’m sure they did it while they were on vacation."

"Wait a minute! So you knew they were going to shoot a commercial for that perfume product that’s going viral on social media?"

"It’s a long story. Anyway, I learned from someone that they were going to shoot a commercial overseas for a few days. Victoria definitely treated her official duties as a free date with Matthias. She didn’t want to miss out on this golden opportunity to marry him."

"If the situation is like this, what will you do with her? Will you let them get married just because Victoria is pregnant?"

"Of course the child in the womb cannot be born."

Fransisca furrowed her brows. She hadn’t expected Amber’s actions to be so much crueler than hers, which left her a little shocked.

"What? So you’re going to kill the baby?"

"Do you think, if Matthias’ mother found out that Victoria was pregnant as a result of their hard work every night, would she be resigned to letting them get married?"

"But if we were to kill an innocent baby, wouldn’t that be a bit much? You don’t have to worry about me. Actually, I look like I’m crying because I’m happy to have you."

"It’s more likely that the baby was born as a result of the sins of its parents, and it didn’t deserve to be born alive." Amber gripped Fransisca’s hand tightly. "Would you like to work with me to prevent your sister from marrying Matthias?"

Did she have to go this far to marry Matthias too? She also wanted to eliminate her stepsister’s unborn child to destroy the couple’s relationship more quickly and easily. She was forced to help Amber achieve her goal and then get rid of her once her mission was complete.

"Okay, I’ll help you. Besides, if you act alone, the problem won’t be resolved quickly."

Amber smiled sarcastically as she sipped her black coffee gracefully. "Thank you for helping me."

"Just tell me what I should do later."

"I’ve definitely discussed the matter with Matthias’s mother. She agrees that Matthias and I should get married soon."

"But what if he finds out Victoria is pregnant? Especially if the baby in her womb is his grandchild."

"That’s precisely why I need your help. The sooner we get rid of the baby, the sooner your mission and mine will be successful."

Fransisca toasts with her allies, ultimately agreeing to become assassins solely for their own selfish ends. However, Amber remains unaware of Fransisca’s true plan to secretly eliminate her.

*****

Meanwhile, Matthias visited his extended family’s residence after being suddenly summoned by his mother. He was genuinely confused; why did his mother call him, even though everything had been resolved? Previously, his mother had approved of his marriage to Victoria, so what else was she worried about? Had she missed something important again?

"Mom, why are you calling me all of a sudden?"

Lucretia clapped her hands enthusiastically as she poured herbal tea for her son. "How is your relationship going now?"

Matthias was actually a little confused about what his mother meant by her question. Was it the development of his relationship with Amber, or the development of his relationship with Victoria? Should he just answer honestly?

"Of course our relationship is getting better."

"Then you need to get married soon." Lucretia glared at her son. "You need to break up with your girlfriend!"

Matthias’s eyes widened. He had suspected his mother wouldn’t be so kind as to suddenly approve of his marriage to Victoria without any reason. "What?!"

"Don’t you understand what I’m saying? You should marry Amber right away! I really hate seeing you so close to Victoria!"

"Mom, can you stop hating her so much? Victoria is so different from her family! She’s been bullied by her own family all this time. I’m the only one who truly loves her."

"Anyway, I don’t care what kind of flirting you do. I still won’t let you marry Victoria. She can only flirt with you to make you crazy about her."

"She’s not that kind of woman!"

"If you still want to be recognized as our family, then you must obey my orders!"

"Should I call Grandpa to lecture you? I’m sure Grandpa won’t approve of me marrying Amber! Grandpa loves Victoria very much too."

"Your overly kind and gullible grandfather! You better follow my orders and be a good father."

Matthias’s brow furrowed. "What?"

"Haven’t you slept with Amber before? I saw her sleeping in your room naked!"

"Mom, I swear I never slept with her! I never sleep with a woman carelessly!"

"Amber told me earlier that she was pregnant."

"What?!"

"Anyway, think of a way to stop Victoria from targeting you again."

"But mom, it’s Victoria who’s pregnant now! The baby in her womb is mine!"

"Then, can you prove that the baby in her womb is my grandchild?"

"I’m sure I can prove it. I can find the evidence faster and hand it over to you."

"Then, what about our previous agreement?"
