After The Divorce, The Richest Man Entangled Me

Kristie Stokes never expected that on the fifth day after Harvey Stokes became a vegetable in the car accident, his lover came to her with a big belly.

“Mrs. Stokes, the child in my belly is the only bloodline left by Harvey and the first great-grandson of the Stokes Family. I don't ask you to give me status, I just want my child to have a home.”

The woman was wearing a black dress and had a white flower on her hair. She knelt in front of Kristie and cried bitterly.

Kristie was shocked. She and Harvey had been married for three years and he had always refused to sleep with her, the reason was because he had to establish his career first and gain control of the Stokes Family.

Not to mention giving birth to a child, Kristie had never climbed into Harvey's bed.

Harvey remained calm even though Kristie was in such a good mood. She even suspected that he had some health problems, so she secretly sought medical treatment and medicine for him.

But it turned out that he just did not want to sleep with her.

“Mrs. Stokes, Harvey came back to the country this time just to discuss divorce with you.

“He said he wanted to give me and our child a legitimate status. He said he loved me and wanted to be with me openly.”

The woman chattered on and on, about to cry.

But Kristie did not want to hear a word. She just turned around and saw Harvey lying quietly in the ward.

The face was calm and handsome, but beauty could mislead people, not only worked for female but also for male beauty.

Three years ago, Harvey held her finger and swore to the sky, “Kristie, I promise you that in this world, you are the only one who will become my partner.”

“Kristie, promise to fight side by side with me too, that both of us will never leave each other for the rest of their lives and will stick together through life and death!”

She believed all, from his word, his promise and his face.

Kristie knew that the Stokes Family was in deep trouble at that moment, but she still married without hesitation and became Harvey's right-hand man.

In three years, Harvey had firmly controlled most of the Stokes Family in his palm. But she became his abandoned child.

“Are you telling the truth? You are pregnant with my son?”

Behind him, Mrs. Stokes's trembling voice was heard.

Then she quickly walked up to the woman and helped her up herself, her eyes fixed on her bulging belly.

Kristie put away her sadness and dealt with Harvey's mother.

“Mom, words are not enough. She has no evidence, so we can't just believe her. Besides, I don't believe Harvey will…."

‘...cheating, betraying me.’

Until that moment, Kristie still refused to believe it.

But before she could finish her words, there was a crisp ‘slap’ sound and Kristie was slapped hard on the face.

The right side of her face suddenly became red and swollen. Mrs. Stokes used all her strength and questioned in a cold voice with a sullen face.

“Kristie, why is my son lying there? How come it was not you who was killed by the truck during the accident?

“You've been married into the Stokes Family for three years, but you have not even pregnant, let alone have a son. The shares in the old man's hands are for the first great-grandson. The child in her belly is Harvey's son, the eldest grandson of our family!”

After saying that, Mrs. Stokes took the woman away.

Kristie did not even know the woman’s name. She took a deep breath, pushed open the ward door and stumbled to the bed.

On the hospital bed, Harvey's body was filled with various tubes and a strand of hair on his forehead added a bit of broken beauty to his appearance.

Kristie reached out and gently stroked the man's pale eyebrows.

“Harvey, is what she said true? Is the baby in her belly yours? Speak up!”

The answer was the beeping of the monitor.

Tears fell silently, Kristie fell down in front of the bed, her voice choked with sobs.

“Harvey, wake up, please wake up, okay? Wake up and tell me this is not real, right? Please wake up, I beg you."

There was no response, only the woman's low sobbing in the ward.

Suddenly, a sound of footsteps came from behind, getting closer and closer.

Frances Stokes rushed over. He glanced at his son who was lying half-dead on the bed and finally his eyes fell on his daughter-in-law who was kneeling in front of the bed, his face calm.

After a long time, Frances spoke in a steady and powerful voice, “We can't be without an heir, Kristie. I have always valued your ability, otherwise I would not have temporarily handed over the management of Stokes Group to you.

“You are a smart woman. The shares in the old man's hands can only belong to you, the eldest wife.

“I know you love Harvey deeply. One day when he wakes up and knows that you generously accepted his child with another woman for him, he will definitely be grateful to you and live a good life with you.

“We will never accept the mother, only the child. So, it will be better if you raise him and make him call you mother.”

In a few brief words, Frances explained his purpose and stated his position. He would not accept that woman, but he recognized the child.

After saying this, Frances turned around and left without waiting for Kristie to answer. It took no more than five minutes.

He believed that Kristie was a smart person and would make the right choice.
