Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 277 - 277: Give My Son A Treatment

Cooper flung his arm out just in time to stop old Sterling from falling. The report slipped from old Sterling's hand. He looked paler than ever, and he was speechless for a long time.

The unborn baby whom he had been expecting turned out not to be his great-grandson at all.

Devin, standing behind his grandpa, could clearly see the result of the DNA report. Veins throbbed on his forehead, and blood rushed to his face. His fists clenched and held stiffly to his sides.

The unborn baby in Valerie's belly was not his own flesh and blood...

Valerie must have betrayed him when she was driven back to her parent's house!

Fuck!

The other night, a servant said that a man came to Valerie. That bitch hummed and hawed, saying that the man was her relative... He sensed something was wrong but didn't pursue the subject at that time. Now when thought about it, he realized that she had been lying!

Was the man the one who had an affair with Valerie and made her pregnant?

Devin was so angry that he clenched his teeth. The unborn child was not his… that was to say, he could never have his own child?

It was as if God had given him a gift and then taken it away without mercy.

"Valerie attempted to kill Olivia twice because Olivia may have known Valerie's relationship with another man. Olivia suspected that the baby in Valerie's belly was not Devin's, so she asked Valerie out to a bar. In order not to expose the truth, Valerie pushed her downstairs. Knowing Olivia might wake up, she attempted murder again last night." Dylan articulated each word clearly.

Even though Devin was humiliated and annoyed, he had to restrain himself, "grandpa, it's impossible. The DNA report must be false! Valerie is not that kind of person... Don't just rely on a report! It's too simple for my uncle to doctor the report..."

Although knowing that this explanation was not good, Devin still had to defend himself.

The unborn baby in Valerie's belly was his only leverage.

"False? Then what about your illness? Isn't it true?" Dylan pursed his lips chillingly.

"What do you mean?" Devin gazed in agitation, and cold sweat was running down his back.

Led by two bodyguards, a paramedic helped a woman in a hospital dress in.

"Susan?" Old Sterling was surprised.

"Mom!" Devin froze.

"Dylan, what do you bring Susan back for?" Old Sterling looked at his son in perplexity.

Dylan did not answer but strolled to her sister. "Susan, I heard that your son is ill." His voice was soft and gentle.

Although Susan was still bewildered and knew nobody, she was clearly in good spirits today. She looked as if suddenly remembered something, and her eyes lit up. "Yes," she exclaimed, "give my son a treatment! He's the heir of the family firms! How can he be childless? You must get a good doctor for him and cure him!"

Old Sterling's face changed. Devin wanted to rush up to cover his mother's mouth, was stopped by two bodyguards in time.

"Why? Devin, what's the matter with you? Why does your mother say you are childless?" Old Sterling looked in disbelief at his grandson.

Devin was rooted to the spot, too ashamed to speak of it.

"Serious syphilis, and he hasn't recovered yet," said Dylan dryly, "according to the doctor, he is left sterile. Susan helped him to conceal the truth all the time. Devin didn't show up when his parents got a divorce because he was being treated at that time. If you don't believe it, you can take him to the hospital for an examination. Since Devin cannot have children, it's clear whether Valerie's baby is Devin's." It sounded like Devin had known the baby in Valerie was not his, and he suppressed the truth on purpose.

Old Sterling's face turned pale. He knew that his grandson liked hanging around with his evil friends, but he did not expect that he would have caught such a disease.

Apparently, he got it from running around with other women.

"Grandpa, uncle is responsible for my illness!" Devin busily explained.

However, while Devin's words were still on his lips, old Sterling knocked him away with a vicious slap in the face; he was too enraged to say anything.

Devin looked at his grandfather in horror.

"You have the nerve to blame your uncle? Fuck you, fool! How could anyone harm you if you behave yourself? Before you got married, you hooked up with your fiancée's cousin; after you married, you went out fooling around on your wedding night. I don't believe you are completely innocent this time. I don't care about your personal life, but since you are infertile, how could you conspire with your wife and get her pregnant with another person's child? How dare you deliberately cheat me! What do you want, use a bastard to inherit the property of the Sterling family? If I hadn't known it today… I…" Old Sterling pointed his trembling hand at Devin, and he was too excited and angry to finish his words.

Devin, knowing that he couldn't change the situation, knelt down and hugged his grandfather's leg, crying, "Grandpa, I know I was wrong, but I'm also a victim. I didn't know that the baby in Valerie's belly is not mine. I- I want to kill her too..."

Old Sterling kicked his grandson away in a rage.

Seeing his master tremble with anger, Cooper hastily patted old Sterling on the back to comfort him and called two servants to take Devin back to Rosemount Villa first.

Dylan also gestured to the bodyguards to take Susan away. Susan, unaware of what had happened, was prattling proudly as she left the villa, "go and get a good doctor for my son! Be sure to cure him, or I will kill you! Devin must not be childless. He's going to inherit the property of the Sterling family!"

Old Sterling staggered to sit down on the sofa. It was a long time before he came. Looking up, he saw his son standing not far away, staring at him.

When Valerie became pregnant again, he thought that good times would come back, or at least there were hopes in the coming days.

However, it turned out that his grandson had been infertile... And the baby in his granddaughter-in-law was not his blood and fresh at all.

Now, Valerie became a murderer and would be sent to prison, which was a great disgrace to the Sterling family.

Old Sterling knew very well that it was Dylan who led Valerie to the hospital and arranged for the police to arrest her. Besides, Devin was not lying when he said that he got that terrible disease because of his uncle.

He suddenly felt sad and tired.
