Chapter 985
“At least after the banquet, I can have a cake with him. I just want us to eat a piece of cake together. Maybe he won’t refuse me,” she thought.
Lillian thought so and then ordered a cake in the shape of the Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse.
After registering the information, the cashier handed her a receipt for the cake.
Lillian put away the bill and walked out of the store. Suddenly, an unfamiliar man stopped her.
“Ms. Quinn, right? Mrs. White wants to see you.” Although the man was quite respectful, he looked at Lillian with no respect and even a faint disdain. “Mrs. White? Who?” Lillian asked.
“Mr. White’s mother,” the man replied.
Lillian was stunned. “Callum’s mother? Although I was in a relationship with Callum, I had never seen his mother before. Callum once said that he would take me to see his mother when his status in the White family had stabilized. Who would’ve known that I would only meet his mother five years later?” she thought.
“How do I know if she has sent you here?” Lillian remained vigilant. After all, she didn’t want to be kidnapped again.
Hearing that, the man took out his phone. After a while, he connected to the other end of the video call. Lillian only saw an elegant and luxurious woman in front of the camera. The woman said indifferently, “Ms. Quinn, I’m Callum’s mother. I want to see you.”
Lillian recognized at a glance that the woman was indeed Callum’s mother. She looked somewhat similar to Callum, and most importantly, she had seen the photo of Callum’s mother online, which was the same as the person in the video. “Okay. I’ll comply,” Lillian said.
The video call ended, and Lillian followed the man into a car parked on the roadside. The car drove all the way to a private club.
When Lillian met Ysabel, she was in the private room of a private club. Ysabel, dressed in branded clothes and conspicuous jewelry, sat on a couch, holding a cup of coffee and sipping it. Right next to her, there was a barista making coffee for her.
Ysabel looked at Lillian lazily and asked, “Ms. Quinn, do you want a drink?”
Lillian politely refused, “No. Thank you.” After all, due to her health, she couldn’t drink coffee.
“Excuse us, please,” Ysabel said to the others in the room.
The people answered and left the private room, leaving only Lillian and Ysabel in

the private room.
Ysabel pointed to the couch opposite her and said to Lillian, “Sit down.” Although Ysabel was talking politely, she couldn’t hide the indifferent look in her eyes. Lillian sat down and heard the woman in front of her asking, “Ms. Quinn, you’re pregnant, aren’t you?”
Lillian was stunned. “She isn’t asking. She sounds like she already knows about my pregnancy. I’m only four months pregnant now, and my clothes are loose, so it isn’t obvious,” she thought.
“Yes,” Lillian admitted.
“Is the child in your belly Callum’s?” Ysabel continued to ask.
“Yes,” Lillian said again.
In response, Ysabel responded casually, “Get rid of it.”
Lillian’s heart sank. She took a deep breath and said, “I won’t have an abortion.” “Well, are you going to say that you don’t want money? Are you going to tell me you really love Callum, so you won’t have an abortion?” Ysabel said directly, “I’ve seen a lot of women like you. You must’ve thought that having a child would make you rich and help you marry into a prominent family. However, among the rich and powerful families, there is no shortage of children. Even if you were to give birth to this child, you couldn’t get married into the White family. Moreover, we don’t even know if you’re really pregnant with Callum’s child.”
Lillian pressed her lips tightly and suddenly smiled. “A woman like me? Mrs. White, are you talking about yourself?”
If Lillian were smarter, she would’ve held back. After all, the woman before her was Callum’s mother. It wasn’t wise for Lillian to embarrass her.
However, Lillian couldn’t take it when Ysabel accused her.
She loved Callum, but it didn’t mean she was willing to get slandered.
As expected, Ysabel’s face immediately turned gloomy as soon as she heard those words. She had given birth to a child in order to become rich and powerful back then. What was ridiculous was that even if her son was the head of the White family, she was still known as a homewrecker.
Before Ysabel’s husband died, he didn’t divorce his first wife. Also, he didn’t give Ysabel proper acknowledgment.
Hence, Ysabel was indeed describing herself.
“Sure enough, you’re an uneducated woman!” Ysabel said with a gloomy face.
Lillian responded indifferently, “It depends on who the educator is. Since you don’t like me, Mrs. White, I think there is nothing for us to talk about.”
After saying that, Lillian stood up and was about to leave.
Ysabel gritted her teeth and said, “If you abort the baby, I can give you 2 million

dollars. With 2 million dollars, you will have a blissful life, and you can also find a man who matches your own family.”
“Do you think your grandson is only worth 2 million dollars?” Lillian asked.
Ysabel’s gaze became colder. “Then, how much do you want?”
Lillian grinned and spat out a shocking amount, “2 billion dollars.”
Ysabel said without thinking, “Dream on!”
“Yes. You’re dreaming too,” Lillian said. “I won’t have an abortion. If Callum wants me, I will be with him. The three of us won’t separate from each other. If he doesn’t want me, then the baby in my tummy will go back to Strico. I will raise it alone and won’t get half a cent from the White family!”
Her voice was extremely clear, and she looked at Ysabel with nothing to hide.
Ysabel was stunned and then sneered, “Well, once you give birth to the child, you’ll be asking for a lot more, won’t you? If you refuse to have an abortion, then don’t blame me for doing it myself.”
Lillian shivered and looked at Ysabel vigilantly, with an ominous feeling in her heart.
Ysabel directly let her men into the private room and said to Lillian, “It’s actually easy to have a miscarriage, as long as you are hit by an external force.”
“You…” Lillian felt chilly and didn’t expect Callum’s mother to do something like that.
The two men who walked into the private room approached her and went into a fighting stance.
Lillian’s hands covered her tummy. Even though she had been careful enough before, she was still careless. “I thought that Callum’s mother would only say harsh words to me if she didn’t like me! Who would’ve thought that she would do something like this? She wants to get rid of my child!” she thought.
