Emily was in a terrible state.

She did not like either of those choices.

She absolutely could not accept them!

Even though Duke Eton’s heart was as hard as stone right now, and he had said that he would never give the child his inheritance, she was sure that once he saw the child’s soft face and sweet appearance, everything would be fine.

Now that she was pregnant, even if they knew that she committed a crime, they and the law could not do anything to her.

At this thought, Emily stretched out her neck. “I didn’t leak the information! I certainly didn’t want to hurt Sunny! I know that you love your two adopted daughters. How could I ever plot against them? Mr. Duke, I beg you to believe me! I really didn’t do anything. I love you! I want to be Miss Sunny and Miss Selena’s stepmother. I’ll take care of them like they’re my own children!”

“Thank you, but no need for that! I don’t want a stepmother like you. And don’t even think about using my name now. You and my father aren’t even married yet, and you’re already a stepmother. Aren’t you thinking too far ahead?”

“I…”

“Since Miss Emily isn’t willing to make a choice, I’ll help her choose. I’ve always liked to use facts to get my revenge. Since Miss Emily isn’t an honest person,you leave me no other choice.”

After saying that, Nangong Nuannuan stood up and instructed Charles. “Escort her into the multi-purpose hall.”

“Yes.”

The two bodyguards did not show any mercy as they escorted her. Emily was furious and struggled with all her might. “Sunny, I’m not a criminal. You don’t have the right to treat me like this!”

Nangong Nuannuan turned around and smiled at Emily. “Just ask my father. Do I have the final say in the duke’s residence?”

“Yes, you do.” Before Emily could ask herself, the duke answered in a sweet tone.

“But I’m not a criminal. What you’re doing is illegal! I can go to the police and sue you!”

“Sue me? Sue me for what?”

“You’re illegally detaining me!” Emily answered angrily. Her knowledge of the law had clearly come from some cheap novels.
