Well, that's true. People can do anything for power and wealth.
The baby in Miss Schultz was the legitimate grandchild of old Sterling. He would turn all his attention to Savannah when he knew her pregnancy. No one would care about Valerie at that time.
Seeing that Dylan had a son, old Sterling would be so happy that he might give the Sterling Group to Mr. Sterling completely.
The baby in Miss Schultz's belly was indeed the biggest threat to Devin and Valerie.
If they knew it, they would try all sorts of evil tricks to harm Miss Schultz!
Although Miss Schultz was closely protected by Mr. Sterling…what if he missed a trick and gave Valerie and Devin a chance?
The baby was Mr. Sterling's flesh and blood. No accident was allowed!
Therefore, Mr. Sterling made this decision. That's the safest way.

The next morning, Savannah woke up when day dawned. She sat up and looked around. Was she in a hospital?
Last night...
She was framed by her cousin and, not wanting to embarrass old Sterling, offered to move away.
Maybe it was because she felt deeply wronged or something, she blacked out.
She vaguely remembered that Dylan carried her downstairs and left the house.
So, now she was sent to the hospital by him?
Before she could think it over, a feeling of sickness in her stomach came to her. Covering her mouth, she got out of bed, rushed to the washroom in the ward, and began to vomit.
Because she hadn't eaten anything since last night, nothing came up. After retching for a while, she stood up.
What's wrong with me? Is it gastroenteritis?
A long time ago, when she was asked by a manufacturer to film on a diet, she got gastroenteritis, and the symptom was almost the same. But she recovered soon after that time.
Just then, the door opened, and Jacob came in. He was surprised to see Savannah in the washroom. "You wake up. How are you feeling?"
Savannah saw Jacob and smiled in relief. "Much better..."
"Well, it's still early. You can sleep a little longer." Jacob helped her to the bed and laid her down.
"Jacob, did you check on me yesterday? What's wrong with me? Is it gastroenteritis?" Savannah put the cover over herself and asked.
Jacob paused and forced a laugh, "No…"
"Then what's that?" Savannah was puzzled.
Jacob took a deep breath and finally said, "Savannah, you're pregnant."
Savannah froze up. She could not speak for a long time. Her mind was blank.
Pregnant? No way!
For a while, she shook her head slowly, "Jacob, I think you made a mistake. How can I be pregnant? I've been on the pill for a long time, and you prescribed it for me..."
Jacob was silent, and he looked embarrassed.
Jacob pretended not to know, "Come on, Savannah, the pill is not one hundred percent effective. Dylan's so energetic and vigorous that even the pill cannot stop him..."
Savannah made to get out of bed, "Don't you admit it? Good, I'm going to take the rest of the pills to a test, then I'll know!"
Seeing this, Jacob gnashed his teeth and had to say, "Okay, well... The pills I gave you are vitamins."
"Jacob, you --" Savannah sat up in bed, her face red with anger.
"Calm down, Savannah, you're carrying a baby!" Jacob helped her down again.
Dylan left her in his hands. If anything wrong happened, Dylan would kill him!
Savannah was seriously angry. Her heart throbbed heavily in her chest. "Dylan made you do it, didn't he?" she finally calmed down and asked.
In fact, she also knew that the question was otiose.
If it wasn't Dylan, how would Jacob do this?
She couldn't believe that man was so insidious... He agreed on the surface that he would not force her to have children for him in order to appease her, but secretly he changed the pill!
She had wondered how Dylan could be so good to give up the idea of having a baby easily!
Jacob nodded helplessly.
Savannah could not help saying, "I thought we are friends! Do you have basic medical ethics? How could you associate with him and change my pill?!"
"I don't want to do it, Savannah," Jacob was more grievous than her, "you know Dylan, we can hardly change his mind when he decides something. He got me there and threatened me to do so... Alas, don't mention it again! I'm also a victim!"
Dylan threatened him with his love affair, and he had to bow to power…
Savannah was angry, but she knew Jacob was not the one to blame. After all, the originator was Dylan!
She jumped out of bed and rushed to the door.
"Where are you going?" Jacob hurriedly held her back.
"I'm going to bust in on that damned man!"
"He's in the company now. Hey, don't get excited. You're still very weak now. If you faint again, he'll kill me! What's more, what's the use of killing him now? It's already too late!" Jacob glanced at her belly.
She had already been pregnant. It's no use in beating the shit out of Dylan now.
Savannah took a long breath. Jacob was right.
Now the most important thing was...
"Jacob, help me out!" She stared at Jacob with her beautiful eyes, and they slid over his face with a your-chance-for-redemption-came look.
"What do you mean?" Jacob shuddered.
She bit her lip. "Help me with the operation, I want an abortion!"
She was now in the hospital, and it was convenient!
"Savannah, I am not a gynecologist." Jacob was helpless.
"Then help me find a gynecologist! You have all kinds of doctors here, right?" Her tone was emphatic.
"Savannah... you want me to die? Please, don't embarrass me." Jacob sighed.
Abortion? If he helped Savannah to have an abortion, Dylan would cut him into pieces!
"Jacob, I beg you..." Savannah pulled Jacob's sleeve, fixing her miserable gaze on him.
"Savannah, don't beg me, I beg you! Give me a chance to live! If I do as you told, he'll kill my family! Well, I see you look better now. Have a good rest, press the bell to call the nurse for help when you need it." Jacob pulled out his arm. It was dangerous to stay here for another second.
He closed the door behind him as he left.
Savannah couldn't stop him. She bit her lip, looking down, and her gaze falling on her belly. Was there really a baby?
