Chapter 19
For a moment, Janet felt as if struck by thunder, staring at Parker in utter disbelief as tears streamed from her eyes. “Why? Parker, tell me why? How am I worse than Michelle? Do you love her so much that you can’t even look at me?” Janet cried her heart out, pouring out all her grievances.
Hearing her wailing, Parker sobered up slightly, impatiently pushing her away, “You’re worse in every way than Michelle! You can’t even compare to a strand of her hair! You’d better recognize your place! You’re nothing more than a tool to bring Michelle back! Stop flattering yourself!” Parker’s tone was harsh, his gaze icy to the core.

Janet trembled as she grabbed Parker’s hand, attempting her usual tricks, guiding his hand under her skirt. This used to work on him
before.
But this time, Parker flung her hand away in disgust, his eyes void of even a hint of desire, “Don’t use your sickening methods on me! Or I’ll make your life a living hell!”
Parker said, turning to go upstairs, but Janet grabbed his leg, “Parker! Even if you hate me, think about our child! Can you really bear to let our child be unhappy?”
Janet wept like a fragile flower, her
gaze secretly observing Parker’s reaction. She saw his face stiffen slightly and his gaze softened momentarily as he looked at her bulging belly. It was a fleeting moment of paternal

Hope rekindled in Janet’s dead heart, only to be dashed the next second by Parker’s icy, sinister words, “You’d better pray that Michelle comes back, or this child won’t be born either!”
Their commotion was so loud that it woke Mariska, who had long since gone to bed.
Hearing Parker’s blatant threats, Mariska nearly fainted and quickly stood in front of Janet, “Parker! The child is innocent, you can’t harm the baby!”
“We’ve been looking for Michelle for so long without finding her. If she cared about you, she would’ve come back already. It’s been two months, don’t you understand? Michelle no longer loves you! She’s not coming back!”

Mariska sobbed.
Parker was her son, flesh of her flesh. How could she bear to see him spiral out of control and lose himself completely? The Browning Family had already begun to decline and only if Parker pulled himself together could they regain their former glory.
Parker, hearing her words, grew agitated. He violently pushed Mariska away, “Lies! You’re all lying! Michelle loves me so much, she’ll definitely come back! Lies! All of you are lying …” Parker seemed dazed and incoherent.
With his constant drinking and indulgence, Parker had lost a great deal of weight and his once–proud appearance had become unkempt and wretched. The former golden child, once full of life, had now descended into a pit of

self–destruction.
Frightened, Mariska hurriedly had bodyguards escort Parker to the hospital, where he was sedated to calm him down.
Unexpectedly, the doctor delivered a heart- wrenching piece of news.
Due to prolonged drinking, excessive indulgence and other reckless behaviors, Parker had developed oligozoospermia, rendering him incapable of fathering children in the future.
Mariska was thunderstruck, standing frozen before breaking down in tears at Parker’s bedside. “This is god’s punishment! God, are you trying to cut off the Browning Family’s lineage?”
Janet, who had hurried over, overheard the
