NovelEndChapter 791 But now, Casper's confidence was shaken. Jessica had found her own strengths and could make her own money. She didn't need his or Steven's wealth anymore. A wave of panic hit Casper. If that was true, how was he supposed to hold onto her? Grasping at straws, he brought up their child.
"Have you considered that the baby you're carrying is mine? What's going to happen to you and the baby once I'm gone?" he asked.

Gary was caught off guard. Just moments ago, Jessica had told him and Julia that after seeing Casper she'd talk him into coming home.
