Chapter 974: Chapter 974: The Reason Skye Lawrence Did This Chapter 974: Chapter 974: The Reason Skye Lawrence Did This “And the Habsden Family isn’t exactly flourishing, at least not in their direct lineage. So far, there are only Edward Jackson and Enna Clark.”
“So?”
Skye Lawrence took a deep breath and shared the information she had discovered, “Edward Jackson is infertile.”
The reason why the person in power of the Habsden Family was still unmarried well into his thirties wasn’t that he was promiscuous by nature, reluctant to be bound by marriage, nor that he hadn’t t a woman he liked without plans to marry. The most crucial reason was—he lacked the ability to procreate!
And with Edward Jackson’s infertility, it ant that the future of the Habsden Family might entirely depend on Enna Clark.
With so many ‘gold mines’ in the hands of the Habsden Family, who wouldn’t have thoughts in their mind?
When Edward Jackson found out there was sothing wrong with his body, he didn’t take care of that doctor on the spot, so quite a few people knew about this.
Naturally, there were also many who had their eyes on Enna Clark.
It wasn’t just mbers of other families watching Enna, but even within the Habsden Family itself, so wished her dead.
Because if Enna died, and Edward Jackson had no ability to procreate, then after a few decades, the vast wealth of the Habsden Family would have no one to inherit it.
“If Edward Jackson can’t have children, Ms. Clark will be the only heir. All those coveting the Habsden Family’s wealth will focus their spears on her. No one targeted her before because Edward hadn’t found her yet, but now that he has, can you imagine how many pairs of eyes are watching her from the shadows?” Skye Lawrence furrowed her brows and said sharply, “When she was found and returned to the Habsden House, Edward Jackson’s protection diverted those gazes towards him. Now that she’s with you, the conflict will fall on you!”
Skye Lawrence took a deep breath and said firmly, “I know you wouldn’t have the heart to break up with her, and I must protect you, so I’ve made the decision for you!”
Baron Lawrence’s lips thinned into a straight line, not as surprised or disbelieving as Skye had expected, but he asked directly, “How many people know about the Duke of Habsden’s infertility?”
“Not many. Although he didn’t deal with that doctor imdiately, once he discovered the doctor had leaked the information, he took care of him right away. He then went to great lengths to seal the news. Only a few know,” Skye finished and continued, “But Baron, there are no walls in this world that can’t be breached. As long as Edward Jackson remains unmarried by the age of forty, the secret will beco an open secret. By then, who wouldn’t be able to deduce the implications? Being with her, do you realize how much pressure you’re facing? How many eyes? I know you can’t accept what I’m doing now, but I’ll say it again, I must protect you! Everyone else is outside my scope of consideration!”
Baron Lawrence only heard the part about not many knowing, the rest he acted as if he hadn’t heard, simply not taking it to heart.
He pursed his lips tightly, his hawk-like eyes steadfastly eting Skye Lawrence’s, his words deliberate, “Skye Lawrence, listen. This ti I’ll let it go, as I owe you, so I’ll turn a blind eye.”
He paused, his gaze suddenly sharp to the extre, “But there is no next ti!”
No favor was more important than Enna Clark!
