Awake for Love: My Coma Bridegroom

Chapter 609

"You're such a fool," Elijah slurred, his words blunt with drunkenness. "I gave you two billion; you could've done anything with it. But no, you had to go and mess around with Kaleb. That just proves you're two of a kind."

His words were like a dagger to Sarah's heart. Two billion... which had long been spent by Violette! If Sarah still had that money, why would she have to use her unborn child as a bargaining chip with Kaleb?

To her, Kaleb was the best man she could find under her circumstances.

As the bodyguard helped Elijah into the car, the black Rolls Royce quickly disappeared into the night.

Sarah wiped away her tears. Not far behind her, Kaleb stood with his hands in his pockets, his words icy. "Look at yourself, Sarah. You're an embarrassment. My uncle has been done with you for ages. Why are you still acting like a lost puppy? The man you need to please now is me!"

Sarah turned to face Kaleb. His mockery was ringing in her ears. "You wouldn't dare to speak to me like this if I still had the money!"

"But you don't, and you're never going to make that much again," Kaleb retorted, looking at her as if she were nothing more than a charity case. "You should face reality and give me a child. As long as you take care of me and my parents, I won't mistreat you. You're not getting any younger, so stop daydreaming. It's an honor for you that I'm willing to marry you!"

Sarah broke down in tears. After her and Alexa’s fallout, Alexa completely abandoned Sarah and her father. Heartbroken, Sarah’s father returned to country B.

Sarah refused to just return to country B. When she found out she was pregnant after feeling unwell, she decided to use it to tie Kaleb down.

Maybe Kaleb was right. Maybe this was her life now.

After taking a bath, Violette was packing for Ian's summer camp trip. Rita was eagerly helping around. Her small hands were busy with excitement.

"Rita, do you want to go to summer camp like your brother?" Violette asked with a smile.

Rita shook her head without hesitation. "Didn't Uncle Kylee tell you, Mom? He said he would take me out during the summer."

Violette was taken aback. "He said that?"

"Yeah! He asked if I wanted to join him on his TV show. He said it would be fun, and we could make some money..." Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"But darling, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Violette asked in surprise. "Are you sure you want to be on TV? Aren't you scared?"

"I won't be scared if I'm with Uncle Kylee. Please, Mom, let me go with him!" Rita pleaded with her big, innocent eyes. "I told Ian about it, and he said if I wanted to, I should go. Otherwise, I would just be at home bothering you."

"So, am I the last one to know?" Violette was taken aback, then sternly replied, "I don't think..."

Rita quickly kissed her on the cheek. "Mom, please let me go! I want to know what it feels like to earn my own money!"

Violette was speechless.

The next day, Violette and Ian boarded a flight to country B. Rita went with Kylee to the city where they would be shooting the TV show.

Upon hearing about these two developments, Elijah's face turned ominously dark. Violette leaving the country without informing him was one thing, but allowing Rita to enter showbiz? Who gave her the right?

Did she really think he didn't know Rita was his daughter? Was she trying to force him to acknowledge it?
