Isabella's face instantly turned deathly pale.

"How dare you!"

A cold smirk touched Evelyn's lips.

"Scared?"

Julian and Margaret both looked at Isabella.

Isabella quickly defended herself.

"Scared of what? I only have Julian! You killed my child, and now you want to disgrace him like this…"

She protectively covered her abdomen, tears streaming down her face.

"My baby, Mommy is useless. I couldn't even protect your last bit of dignity…"

Julian's eyes were bloodshot, his fists clenched tightly.

Evelyn scoffed.

"A one-month-old embryo can't even feel pain, Isabella. Stop acting."

Isabella's expression froze, her nails digging deep into her palms.

She was seething with hatred.

She had aborted the child herself.

To avoid the truth being exposed by the amniocentesis.

The Ashcroft family from New York was here. She had to seize this opportunity.

To drive Evelyn out of the Vance family.

To help the eldest branch reclaim the Vance Group.

But Alexander was protecting this bitch so fiercely!

Inside the hospital room, Alexander had complete control of the situation.

A mocking voice suddenly came from the doorway.

"Alexander, do you really think my third uncle is dead?"

Marcus Valentine appeared with his bodyguards, facing off against the Vance family's security.

Isabella's eyes lit up.

"Mr. Valentine! You must stand up for me!"

She cried pitifully.

"Evelyn put my mother in bed and caused my miscarriage. She's here for revenge! She takes advantage of us having no one to support us and does whatever she wants!"

Marcus ordered coldly.

"Seize Evelyn!"

Alexander shielded Evelyn behind him.

"Who dares touch her!"

Marcus stared directly at Alexander.

"Third Uncle said he will protect the daughter of Mrs. Ashcroft no matter what. Are you declaring war on the Ashcroft family?"

Alexander frowned deeply.

His voice was icy.

"Tell your third uncle the DNA report will be ready in three hours. I hope he won't shield the real culprit."

He took Evelyn's hand and turned to leave.

Robert Vance roared furiously.

"You unfilial son! Stop right there!"

Alexander ignored him completely.

Robert trembled with rage.

"You monster! Heaven will not tolerate this!"

Marcus blocked their path.

"Alexander can leave. She must stay!"

He waved his hand, and the Ashcroft bodyguards immediately stepped forward.

The Vance security quickly moved to intercept.

Both sides were poised for a confrontation.

Marcus sneered.

"Do you want to fight here?"

This was a Vance hospital.

Mrs. Ashcroft's room was nearby.

A fight between bodyguards would inevitably harm innocent people.

Evelyn was about to speak when Alexander said in a low voice, "Can't you wait three hours?"

Marcus glanced toward the room.

"Alexander, you're mistaken. Third Uncle only protects Mrs. Ashcroft's daughter. He doesn't protect the Vance grandson."

Alexander's eyes turned cold.

The third master of the Ashcroft family was notoriously protective.

Regardless of whose child Isabella was carrying, he would not let Evelyn go.

Alexander's voice was低沉.

"What does Third Master Ashcroft want?"

Marcus looked at Evelyn.

"Miss Ashcroft lost her child. We need an explanation. Evelyn, do you dare come with me to see Third Uncle?"

"Impossible."

Alexander was adamant.

"No one is taking her anywhere."

Marcus laughed derisively.

"That's not for you to decide."

The tension reached its peak.

Evelyn suddenly stepped forward.

"I'll go with you."
