Chapter 985

“If it weren't for your status, do you think I will marry you? Are you

prettier than Zora? Or do you have a better body than her? Or are you

better educated than her? Or are you talented in any way? Or can you

do anything serious on your own? Can you even inherit the title of the

Heath family?"

She could hear the flagrant mockery from every word Otis said.

He pushed Charlotte hard to the ground.

"You don't even look at yourself. What do you even have? Are you

worthy of being compared to Zora? You're not even qualified.” Otis

raised his little finger and mocked Charlotte.

Charlotte was so angry that she could hardly breathe, and she almost

fainted.

And she could not feel the pain at all when she was thrown onto the

ground by him.

With great difficulty, she could finally catch her breath and she inhaled

deeply to calm her mind.

She could no longer bear the insult Otis gave her. She hated him so

much that her teeth were gnashing! Damn Zora! She knew from the

first glance that she could not be easy to deal with and would surely

bring her big trouble.

"Even if she's good, you can't marry her. She could at best a lover, and

you will also have to hide her well. If you get found out one day by my

parents, you will be done. Just control yourself a bit, huh."

Charlotte widened her eyes in anger.

When Otis heard this, he wanted to go up and kick her a few times to

relieve his hatred.

Recently, he had indeed been busy preparing for a big project.

Once upon a time he also had such thoughts, but now he held the

power, Rodney died, General Ralph was old. The Heath family was no

longer the glorious family it used to be.

What was stopping him from take their place?

Now matter how powerful he was now, there were still the Heaths

above him.

There were still a lot of things he could not do, and he felt very

unhappy.

Most critically, he had to put up with a hypocritical and incompetent wife

like Charlotte. He felt it way too disgusting to even just look at her

again.

When she saw that he was about to kick her, Charlotte dodged to the

side and covered her stomach with force.

"Otis, stop it! I'm pregnant!" She shouted.

Otis was stunned and stopped his foot.

Charlotte was pregnant? He did not expect this. He had not touched

her recently, so even if she was, she should have been pregnant long

ago.

Before that, he wanted her to get pregnant so badly that he reluctantly

touched her on a regular basis.

He wanted a child to inherit the general position and he could get a

general under his control.

But now, to his surprise, knowing that she was pregnant, he never felt

so expectant again and was not even excited at all.

Since he met Zora, he often thought of that intelligent, capable and

powerful woman, and if he could have a child with her, their child would

surely be something in the future.

Charlotte, on the other hand, would only pull down the child's

intelligence.

What's more, the child he had with Charlotte would be a Heath in the

end!

If he could have the military for himself, he could just have as many

children as he wanted to! And it would certainly not have to be

Charlotte's child.

Charlotte looked at the cloudy face of Otis in front of her, and felt

emboldened by her pregnancy.

After the previous miscarriage, her period had been irregular. Yesterday

she took a test and found two red bars on the test strips.

She's pregnant!

She had wanted to tell him the good news last night and he came back

too late.

She wanted to tell him this morning, but for no reason they had a fight

this morning.

"Otis, you've always wanted a child. And I'm pregnant.” Charlotte raised

the corners of her lips in triumph. With this child, it's really hard to say

who would be in command in the future, and she was never one of

those women who he could get rid of easily.

"Huh, is it mine?" Otis glanced at her flat belly.
