Chapter 440

When Hailey laid eyes on the figure before her, her expression darkened. She immediately shoved Clara away and yelled, "You slut! How dare you show your face here again!" Clara stumbled and fell to the ground. She had chosen a form-fitting dress that day, purposefully accentuating her slightly protruding belly. And it turned out that Hailey's expression did soften slightly when she noticed Clara's belly. However, her tone remained stern. "I treated you well and provided you with a safe haven to care for yourself and Sergio's child. Yet, you chose to run off with another man. You've humiliated me!" "Mrs. Brooks Senior, I know I've made a mistake, but I was forced into a corner!" Clara pleaded from her knees. With genuine remorse in her eyes, she continued, "I love Sergio, you know that… The Jeffersons forced me that day—they claimed to know where my father was and threatened me..." "I didn't want to leave with them, but they forced me. I had no choice..." Clara sobbed pitifully.
