Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 480

When the Carter family heard this, they panicked. Cancel the engagement?

That wouldn't do!

Dylan was right there!

They were on the verge of becoming relatives with the Sinclair family. How could they lose such a powerful connection?

"I disagree! Daniel, Amanda, there is still room for discussion!" Robert Carter said quickly.

"What is there to discuss? It's already happened, and now there's a child involved. Do you want to humiliate Claire? You're bullying us too much!" Amanda said with a cold face.

She hated this marriage now.

Her daughter hadn't had many good days, and now she had to suffer this injury.

"Robert, since you don't want to cancel the engagement, then propose a solution!" The old lady spoke up.

She was still favoring her nephew from her maiden family, wanting to give them another chance.

Robert Carter and his wife looked at each other.

Finally, Mrs. Carter stood up and said, "What happened between my son and Cathy was an accident. Justin said it himself—he was drunk and alone in the office when Cathy came in. Everyone knows my son is excellent and Cathy has always liked him. Who's to say Cathy didn't take advantage of his drunkenness to seduce him?"

"Therefore, my son isn't at fault. It was just an accident. He didn't want this. Besides, everyone present knows how Justin feels about Claire. He loves Claire to death. I don't think we should break them up. This engagement cannot be canceled!"

When Mrs. Carter said this, the second branch was not having it.

Especially Maggie, who immediately retorted, "What do you mean? Is my daughter supposed to sacrifice herself for nothing? She is carrying the Carter family's seed in her belly! What do you plan to do about that?"

Mrs. Carter said disdainfully, "I already said it was an accident. Accidents should be treated as accidents. As for the child... since it's still early, just go to the hospital and get rid of it. We'll pretend this never happened, and Justin and Claire's wedding will proceed as planned."

"I disagree!"

"Mom, you have to help me. I don't want to abort the baby! This child is Justin's!"

"Mom, I think Justin needs to take responsibility for this. It happened, so how can the Carter family act like this?" Maggie said anxiously to the old lady.

The old lady's deep-set eyes stared intensely at Maggie.

Smack!

She slammed her hand on the table beside her.

Everyone jumped.

"You have the nerve to speak! This is the good daughter you raised! If Cathy doesn't know better, don't you parents know better either? To do something so disgraceful... where does that leave the Whelan family's reputation? Someone, bring the discipline cane! Today, I must teach you a lesson!"

Hearing the mention of the discipline cane, Maggie's face instantly turned pale with fear.
