Pregnant and Favored: See You in the Morning, Young Master novel Chapter 173

“No.” Mrs. Lockhart was the first to object.

“Our Jenna is highly cultured and educated, intelligent and capable. What can she do? If we ask her to play the role, she will certainly be detected in a matter of minutes.”

“Besides that, how can we give all of Jenna’s splendor and wealth to her? Isn’t that exactly what she wants? We cannot let her get her way.”

Xavia: “…”

Mr. Lockhart said, “There is no other way now. She did not get detected during the big wedding ceremony just now so she should also be able to do the same afterward.”

“We can let her pretend to be Jenna first and go through with today’s wedding so that we can add on to Jenna’s glory and honor. When Jenna wakes up, everything will still belong to her. After that, Xavia can just leave quietly. Wouldn’t that be fine?”

Mrs. Lockhart felt as though she was placed in a difficult position. “But… she has malicious intentions. What if she is coveting Jenna’s belongings or what if she tries to harm Jenna? What should we do then?”

Mr. Lockhart’s face fell and he looked at Xavia. “You have to be careful not to let the cat out of the bag.”

“Besides that, you’re only replacing Jenna. That does not mean that everything will belong to you. Don’t have any extra thoughts about it.”

He was very bossy and arrogant. It was a warning and a command.

Xavia who had been quiet all this time suddenly smiled. She raised her eyes and looked directly at them.

“Did I say that I agreed to it?”

Mr. and Mrs. Lockhart were startled.

Xavia spoke up again, “I do not like being Jenna, nor do I care about anything belonging to her. I did not promise you anything.”

“Besides that, if I understand correctly, you guys are the ones who need my help now. Is this the kind of attitude that you should be having when you are asking for help?”

At this moment, she was very cold, indifferent, and arrogant.

She was a young girl, but she was actually like a cold winter plum, beautiful and unapproachable.

Mrs. Lockhart was anxious. “You! Your elder sister is already in this state. yet you are still being so calculating and you’re refusing to help? You’re really an ungrateful wretch!”

“That’s right. You’ve always been like this. What else could I have expected from you?”

Mr. Lockhart comforted Mrs. Lockhart. “It’s okay. You don’t have to be angry with her.”

After that, he looked at Xavia and said, “Xavia Lockhart, the real culprit has not been found yet so you cannot escape any responsibility. We are already showing you kindness by asking you to stay to put on an act instead of sending you to the police station for an investigation.”

“Could it be that you have a guilty conscience and that is why you do not want to wait for Jenna to wake up?”

Xavia frowned. “Who said I have a guilty conscience?”

“Alright then. You should just stay. Don’t even think about absconding. When Jenna wakes up, if you really have nothing to do with this, then I will give you ten million dollars so that you will not need to worry about your living expenses anymore.”

After saying those words, Mr. Lockhart turned around and left to find the doctor, without giving Xavia the opportunity to refuse.
