Sorry for Your Loss, It's Me, I'm the Loss novel Chapter 757

757 /760

Dana had also been pressuring Noah and Karina to have a second child, but their marriage was lukewarm at best, and Karina hadn't conceived again in all the years since their daughter was born.

If it weren't for Dana's easygoing nature as a mother-in-law, Karina's life would be far less comfortable.

Emma certainly didn't want Eden, that bastard, to produce the first Thompson grandson.

Although the shares of the Thompson Group were in Bennett's name, Frank also owned several other mid-sized companies and had a considerable personal fortune.

It was nothing compared to the Thompson Group, but she wouldn't see a single penny of it go to that bastard Eden.

Bennett hadn't expected the conversation to pivot so sharply to having children, and he felt a headache coming on.

"We don't even know if Yolanda's baby is a boy or a girl. Isn't it a bit early to be worrying about this?"

"He who fails to plan ahead is planning to fail," Emma said with a frown. "If I hadn't given birth to you, the Thompson Group would have gone to that bastard Eden. Thank God I listened to Harriet back then. That bitch Carol and her two bastard children schemed for half their lives, and for what? They ended up with nothing."

Emma then returned to the topic of the baby. "A while ago, the old matriarch faked a health crisis to lure your father to the hospital, hoping to leverage Yolanda's pregnancy for some gain. Your father may have ignored them then, but he might soften once the child is born. He promised me he wouldn't get involved with Carol and her children, but look at Eden—he's lived a life of luxury and has profited from the Thompson Group for years."

Emma's rambling was giving Bennett a splitting headache. He leaned forward, picked up a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from the table, and lit one. Only after she had finally finished did he speak, his voice calm and measured.
