Chapter 147 Own Axe to Grind
At the same time.
The same news was trending on major news, websites, and Instagram.
Was it true?
Or was someone misinformed?
Countless reporters rushed to the scene to find out the truth.
At Lewis Mansion.
"He's crazy!" Mrs. Lewis threw the cup in her hand in anger.
The cup smashed into pieces.
"Mom!" Asher rushed back as soon as she saw the news.
"Didn't you try to stop it? Is it working?" Mrs. Lewis was very angry.
Asher frowned and said, "Mom, I know you don't like her, but it's not the right time now!"
"Not the right time? Our stock prices will drop once your brother's news gets out. Do you want to see them get married?"
Asher comforted her, "Mom, it's not that I don't want to stop it. It's easy to deal with her, but I can see that Henry is serious this time."
He treated her so fiercely that morning, and he took action on the same day.
He must have planned it from the start.
"What do you mean? The Baker family must have seen the news already. No one knows what will happen tomorrow. Henry is so willful!"
Mrs. Lewis was a little regretful. She wanted to give Rosa a chance, so she talked to her.
If she didn't want to give rosa a chance to leave, she could have made a move.
But she didn't expect Rosa was so insensible.
Mr. Lewis could not help but say, "Alright. I think the kid is decent. Just let him do whatever he likes."
Mrs. Lewis immediately retorted, "What do you mean by decent? What's her status? Is she worthy of your son?"
Mr. Lewis frowned as he said, "How much trouble do you want to cause our family. He doesn't like Paige. You can't force him. Don't you know your son's temper?" "Enough. Shut up. I did this for our family, didn't I?"
Mr. Lewis had no choice but to shut up.
"Mom, Dad, don't quarrel. Don't worry. I will follow up on this matter, but not now!"
Mrs. Lewis frowned and looked at Asher with doubt in her eyes.
"She is pregnant..." Asher looked into her mother and told the truth.
"What?" Her parents were stunned.
"That soon?" Mrs. Lewis was doubtful. Her expression seemed to say that the child was not Henry's.
Asher nodded and said, "And it's twins. Even if you don't like her, you have to wait until the babies are born!" "Twins?" Mrs. Lewis was indeed surprised.
"Isn't that great? We get two grandkids at once," Mr. Lewis smiled and said, "I'm going to be a grandfather again. "What's so great about being pregnant?" Mrs. Lewis scoffed.
Even if Rosa was pregnant, she couldn't like Rosa.
"Mom, Henry is in his thirties. No matter what, we have to keep his children. We can always drive her away once the children are born. After all, they are Lewis!" Asher told the truth.
"She's right. Even if you don't like her, you can't touch the children. Henry isn't young. His peers have kids in primary school already!" Mr. Lewis said hurriedly.
Mrs. Lewis sat down on the sofa and sneered, "Well, since she is pregnant with two of my son's children, she can stay. The Lewis family is not short of money. When the children are born, she will have to leave."
Asher nodded and said, "Mom, don't worry. I will help you. She will not marry into our family."
However, Mrs. Lewis smiled sinisterly and did not reply.
Sometimes, it was better to handle things personally.
She had a way to make Rosa leave after giving birth.
At this moment, Mrs. Lewis's plans were forming.
Since Rosa didn't want to leave now...
She would make Rosa leave in pain after giving birth.
This was the price Rosa had to pay!
"Wow, when did this guy become so romantic?" Neil was stunned.
He had always thought that he was romantic.
However, he didn't expect the cold Henry to be better at his game!
Rosa burst into tears. She was so emotional and moved.
Henry stepped forward, lifted her chin, and lowered his head. His eyes were dark and deep, and he said in a hoarse voice. "From now on, you are Mrs. Lewis, and I will protect you." Rosa cried with joy, and tears fell.
Finally, she nodded.
He smiled, clasped her chin, and kissed her.
Rosa couldn't breathe, and her face turned red.
For a moment, she could not stand it anymore. She pushed him away, frowned, and looked at him. "There are people here."
"We saw nothing!" Neil turned to look at the night scene.
The rest of the people smiled and looked at the scenery too.
"Just treat them as air!" Henry rubbed Rosa's nose dotingly and pulled her collar to prevent her from catching a cold.

Rosa hugged his waist and buried herself in his warm arms, enjoying this romantic and warm moment.
Miranda didn't make a sound and cried.
Tears fell from her eyes, and she felt distressed and uncomfortable.
A piece of tissue was handed to her.
Miranda lowered her eyes, but Cecil didn't make a sound. He looked at the river, but his hand was directed to her.
Seeing this, Miranda took his tissue and wiped her tears without saying anything.
"You deserve better!" Cecil said indifferently and pushed his wheelchair away.
Miranda couldn't stop her tears from falling again.
Five-star hotel, Starlight Hotel.
"She's been proposed!" Grace sat up and was shocked by the trending news on her phone.
Geoffrey stood up naked and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Look." Grace immediately handed the phone to him.
Geoffrey looked at it, smiled, and lay down with Grace in his arms.
"They already registered. What's so strange about getting married?"
"But, he announced it to the whole city. Everyone in City C will see..."
At this moment, Grace was jealous.
Everyone in City C saw this news. Rosa was gaining popularity.
Unlike her, who would only be in the shadows.
"Henry is decisive and ruthless. His family is against him, but he ignores them. How courageous!" Geoffrey admired Henry's promptness and decisiveness.
"Didn't you say last time that your mother-in-law didn't agree? How did he do it?" Grace muttered.
"Her opinion doesn't matter. Henry is the one building the Lewis Group, so he has the ability." Geoffrey's face darkened as soon as his mother-in-law was mentioned.
Grace was smart. She guessed what was going on when she saw his expression.
She lay on his body and said, "But I think you are the best. The Garcia family's glory is due to your hard work. His company is doing well because of his family's resources, unlike you. You started from scratch. You are the real winner."
Hearing this, Geoffrey was happy. He hugged her and said, "You know me best!"
Grace smiled and said softly, "But I heard the Baker family would not let him go if they found out about the wedding. Is that true?"
"Mr. and Mrs. Baker will be mad, but... Paige loves him a lot. In my opinion, even if he gets married, she won't give up!"
"No way. He loves her so deeply. Won't she be mad?"
"Henry had been working hard for ten years, and Paige had been by his side for the same amount of time. How could her feelings not be deep?" Geoffrey chuckled and said, "All girls are emotional." "Oh my god, ten years? How could Henry treat her like this?" Grace frowned.
"They were classmates. She went abroad to be by his side, but Henry doesn't seem to like her. Still, she refused to give up!"
As an outsider, he had seen this matter clearly.
"Could she take it lying down?" Grace asked with a frown.
"I don't know. Maybe she hates Rosa." Geoffrey kissed her and said, "Go to sleep. I'll rest my eyes for a while. I still have to go back!"
Grace said, "Go to sleep. I won't disturb you!"
Geoffrey replied. He was old, so he was sleepy after finishing his work.
He closed his eyes and fell asleep in a few minutes.
Grace leaned into his embrace, closing her eyes.
Paige was the only daughter of the Baker family.
The Baker family was the only one on par with the Lewis family.
Now, Henry had abandoned her and announced his marriage to Rosa.
Everyone would laugh at her for it.
Paige must wish she could tear Rosa apart.
And now the opportunity was here!
She would take this opportunity to get rid of Rosa and get everything she wanted.
Thinking of this, Grace got up and went to the bathroom.
She closed the door and called Rosa.
"Hey, Rosa, Mr. Lewis proposed to you, didn't he? The whole world is talking about it!"
As soon as the phone was connected, she spoke cheerfully.
It sounded like she was genuinely happy for Rosa.
"Yes. I was going to call you later and tell you!" Rosa smiled.
"Haha, you don't even know how happy I am about it."
Rosa's laughter was transmitted through the phone. "Thank you, Grace. You're too kind."
"I'm free tomorrow. Can I go and see you? I can't wait to see you!"
"Okay, I'll send you the address later. Come here earlier. I have another piece of good news for you!"
"What good news?" Grace asked.
"You'll know when you come tomorrow," Rosa said with a smile.
"Well, we have agreed that I will be your bridesmaid when you get married. I am so happy. Rosa, I am excited for you. You're finally getting married to prince charming!"
Grace shouted excitedly, making Rosa feel happy.
However, she was writing three words in the mirror of the bathroom with lipstick. "Go to hell!"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
