Chapter 333 – Does the baby even matter?
Blanche Capra knew she was at a disadvantage, and she never forgot it.
She also knew that playing the hero would most likely usher in Moore Howard’s brutal treatment.
But Blanche Capra just couldn’t get mad at him for acting like a villain.
Besides, Moore Howard had risked being caught to kidnap her here, so he was sure to blackmail her for something, and now that she had no father, no mother, and no one to love her, she was both a hostage and a blackmailer.
Moore Howard would gain nothing if he really did anything to her.
He wouldn’t do such a useless thing.
Moore Howard, realizing that Blanche Capra hadn’t been speaking, stared straight at him – glared, I should say – and while she bowed her head slightly, her eyes were raised upward in a seeping stare.
Moore Howard, not wanting to be intimidated by her, averted his face, “What? Scared now?”
The effect he wanted was Blanche Capra crying and begging him to let her go.
But from the moment he’d kidnapped Blanche Capra, that wasn’t going to happen.
Blanche Capra would only sneer, as she did now, “What am I afraid of? You’ve said we’re old friends, I should be moved to tears at the fact that you’ve made a point of bringing me here.”
“Blanche Capra, I’m warning you not to try and provoke me again, I’m not kidding you right now.” Moore Howard was definitely getting his emotions stirred up by her again.
“You think I’m joking, I’ve asked from the beginning, what the hell do you want? Say it.” Blanche Capra got sick of looking at his face and simply looked out the window – the thick night color hid the view out the window and she couldn’t see anything.
That was better than looking into the face of Moore Howard.
Moore Howard asked her rhetorically, “Would you be a good girl and give it to me if I said so?”
“That depends on what you want? After all, now that I’m still in your control, you have the initiative, don’t you?” Blanche Capra analyzed calmly.
She was telling the truth, so Moore Howard didn’t contradict her.
Instead of responding, he reached out and tried to touch Blanche Capra’s stomach.
Seeing this, Blanche Capra desperately stomped her feet on the floor and pushed her chair back until it hit the table behind her with a dull thud.
Moore Howard’s hand lunged, and he was inevitably a little annoyed to see Blanche Capra resisting so much, but didn’t go any further, just withdrew his hand.
Blanche Capra also realized at this moment that Moore Howard knew she was pregnant, and she was shocked because it was something she hadn’t told anyone about.
“Moore Howard, where did you hear that I was pregnant?”
Actually, when she thought about it, it was only York Charlie and Delia Field who knew, and there was no way York Charlie would be in the company of such a person, so by the way – Delia Field’s relationship with Moore Howard wasn’t a simple one.
Then she would never let Delia Field go if she had a chance to escape.
Moore Howard quickly thinks of this, and in order not to reveal his relationship with Delia Field, he pulls a random excuse, “Unfortunately, there are people loyal to me in the hospital where you went to check.”
What?
Blanche Capra was incredulous, but not out of the question.
Now that she knew, there was no need for Blanche Capra to hide her feelings and put on the airs that a mother should have in order to defend the fetus in her womb, “My child, don’t you dare try to hurt him.”
“I didn’t even say anything, what are you afraid of?” Moore Howard knew that was her soft spot and was instantly amused.
He glanced at his watch, it was still early, he could play with her a little longer.
“That baby, it’s York Charlie, isn’t it?”
Was that even a question?
Blanche Capra couldn’t look at anyone but York Charlie.
She refused to answer the question, while her mind suddenly flashed back to the day she’d narrowly escaped being hurt by a couple of ruffians in the alley, and it hit her.
Snapping her head up, Blanche Capra’s anger was unstoppable.
“Did you purposely lure me into the alley that night just to get rid of this child in my belly?!”
She told her that she just had a grudge against someone, and that they wouldn’t retaliate by simply trying to hurt her child.
Moore Howard raised an eyebrow and smiled, he’d done all the bad things and there was nothing left to deny.
“I was trying to teach you a lesson, I didn’t realize York Charlie would come out halfway.”
“But it’s a good thing your kid’s okay, or I’d have one less chip on my shoulder right now.”
As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Blanche Capra lifted her foot and viciously stomped on Moore Howard when he wasn’t looking.
“Awww…”
Blanche Capra was so angry that she could barely get her breath up, “You son of a bitch, what else can you not do! It’s even if you fight me, you even want to count my child, are you still a human being.”
As soon as the issue of children came up, Blanche Capra was like a different person, evolving from a haughty wildcat into a fierce beast.
Moore Howard’s foot that she stepped on hurt so much that his facial expression twisted and he couldn’t get over it for a long time.
When he was finally able to stand, Blanche Capra nonchalantly taunted him, “What the hell, you’re just a paper tiger who knows how to pay a few people to carry out your schemes.”
“You damned woman, it looks like I’m not going to be able to do anything about it without giving you a little credit.” Moore Howard was so pissed off at her that in a moment of impulse, he raised his fist to strike.
Blanche Capra wasn’t afraid of him either, still expressionless, “If you hit me, you won’t get what you asked for.”
“You–”
“I know you want me to get on my knees with you and beg for forgiveness, so save yourself the trouble, there’s no way I’m going back to begging my enemies.”
At such a hardened response from Blanche Capra, Moore Howard doesn’t rub her the wrong way, “Fine, have some balls.”
“You’re in control of the Charlie family now, right? You’re the only one who knows where the real estate is, right?”
Blanche Capra didn’t change her face, “So what.”
“I want the entire Charlie family.” Moore Howard was finally willing to say what he was doing this time to kidnap her.
Blanche Capra responded to him bluntly, “No way, you should hurry up and go to bed, maybe even daydream a little.”
After saying this, she even laughs out loud on purpose, just to humiliate Moore Howard.
Moore Howard closed his eyes and desperately tried to resist the urge to hit her, he took out what he thought was a killer, “I’ll give you two options, choose for yourself, do you want THE Charlie family estate, or the baby in your belly.”
Blanche Capra stopped talking for the moment and looked at him silently, her put-upon eyes high in the air.
Moore Howard finally got the upper hand verbally for once, and he laughed out loud, very pleased with himself, “Wasn’t that eloquent just now? Why don’t you talk now?”
“This has been the mercy I’ve given you, you wanted to be a great mother, I’m giving you that chance.” Moore Howard blurted out.
He was an abomination, but who could do anything about it.
Blanche Capra looked back as Moore Howard’s smugly smiling face came close to hers.
She immediately looked away in disgust.
“What if I said I’d choose neither.”
What would he do?
Kill her?
Then he’d get nothing.
The smile on Moore Howard’s face disappeared once more, and he gritted his teeth, “You don’t want your child?”
