Lydia suddenly felt herself suffocating, her face quickly turning

red.

Tears streamed from her eyes as she looked desperately at Charlotte, silently pleading for help.

Seeing Dalton's genuine rage and the force he was using on Lydia, Charlotte hurriedly intervened. "Dalton, calm down! Don't hurt the baby she's carrying."

"The baby?"

Dalton's expression darkened even further. "Is she even worthy of carrying my child?"

Normally, he would never lay a hand on a woman, but Lydia had crossed a line.

He couldn't tolerate her using the pregnancy as an excuse to do whatever she wanted.

"I told you, once the baby is born, your father can return to the country. If not for that, she can't have anything happen to her," Charlotte urged, trying to ease the tension.

"Do you even know what this woman did tonight?" Dalton's voice was cold.

"She pushed me into the lake, pretended to get help, and instead brought everyone here to stage a ridiculous scene.

Charlotte's face paled in shock. She had no idea.

She turned to Lydia with a piercing gaze, "Is what Dalton said true?"

Lydia, struggling to breathe, was on the verge of passing out when Charlotte rushed to pull Dalton away.

Finally able to catch her breath, Lydia clutched her throat, her tears flowing uncontrollably.

She never imagined Dalton could be so ruthless, so close to strangling her with his own hands.

Terrified, she looked at Dalton and managed to say, "Mrs. Williams, it's true I accidentally pushed Dalton into the water. But it's also a fact that there's something inappropriate between him and Meryl." Before she could finish, Charlotte's hand struck Lydia hard across the face.

"You dared to push my son into the lake? You've got some nerve. If it weren't for the fact that you're carrying his child, do you think I'd even spare you a glance?"

The slap left Lydia stunned, her pale skin immediately marked with a vivid red handprint.

For a moment, she stood frozen, then pressed her hand to her cheek, sobbing even harder.

"You'll terminate the pregnancy as soon as possible, and leave Aniston Villa. I'll give you thirty million dollars as compensation, and from now on, we're finished." 3/3

His gaze was filled with disgust. He couldn't believe Lydia was capable of such manipulation.

After seeing her true nature, all he felt was repulsion.

Hearing Dalton's ultimatum, Charlotte hesitated, feeling conflicted.

"She's made mistakes, yes, but the child is innocent. Why not let her stay until the baby is born? Your father..."

"Mom!" Dalton interrupted sharply. "Why are you so fixated on this baby? If you want a child that badly, have one yourself!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Charlotte snapped, glaring at Dalton, finding his suggestion absurd.

Lydia shook her head, her voice trembling, "Mom, can't you see? Dalton's eager to get rid of me because he's after Meryl.

"Once I'm out of the Aniston family, nothing will stand in his way."

Her gaze shifted down to her stomach. "Baby, you couldn't have come at a worse time. Your father is already enchanted by another woman. He doesn't care about you at all."
