Mrs. Lloyd slightly lifted her chin superciliously and spoke slowly, "Winter, you saw Etan. To tell you the truth, he is not only disabled but just has the intelligence of a five, six-year-old child. He is grumpy and unapproachable!"

Winter couldn't help feeling pity for him. Perhaps he was too outstanding and even envied by Heaven, otherwise, how could such a disaster befall such a privileged man?

He was an icon on the internet. As the heir to Lloyd Group, he was enigmatic and standing at the top of the pyramid, but his legend was choked off by an accident.

"Ah, I digressed. Let's get to the point. I assume Chester already told you the purpose of the marriage along the way."

"Surrogacy?" Winter asked in blank amazement. On her way here, Mr. Scott subtly told her about the impotence of Etan. Even so, he should have offspring. Etan had left his material for the test tube baby in the hospital, and she needed to finish the arduous task.

She found it absurd and horrible. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Lloyd proceeded with the matter seriously.

Mrs. Lloyd straightened her back and spoke with a severe countenance, "Exactly!"

"So, to exorcise evil spirits for the old man is only secondary, but the main purpose of the marriage is to carry on the family line?" Winter involuntarily wrenched her fingers.

She didn't expect her fate to be so miserable. She was not only a substitute for the marriage but also a surrogacy container.

"Exactly, surrogacy is the main objective! The Lloyd Family needs no dawdler. Tomorrow, Chester will arrange a thorough examination for you. The hospital will come up with a specific plan, and you just need to cooperate!"

Noticing the shock on Winter's face, Mrs. Lloyd laughed disdainfully and spoke slowly, "The betrothal present we gave the Josh Family is an invaluable lot, and that is just the tip of the iceberg. After the child is born, you will become a great contributor to the Lloyd Family, and your family will gain liberal interests!"

Mrs. Lloyd kept a condescending manner. In her view, this was but trade, and Winter was just a tool the Lloyd Family bought!

Winter's heart sank to the bottom.

This was all thanks to her good father. Even in the end, he would exploit every value in his daughter.

"Madam, Mr. Lloyd seems irritated and losing temper!" A servant came to report.

"Winter, Etan is losing his temper again... Go, fulfill your duty as a wife, and take good care of your husband! If anything goes wrong, you'll be held responsible!" The cold smile in Mrs. Lloyd's eyes had given way to indifference.

When Winter was just led to the door of the bridal chamber, the sound of smashing things came out along with Etan's roar, "Out, get out!"

The servant timidly pushed open the door and announced in a low voice, "Mister, madam is here!"

With anxious expressions, Chester and the servant hurriedly retired from the room.

Winter was shoved into the room, and the door was slammed shut.

"Madam, mister is losing his temper again and would not eat. You should serve him well!" Chester's voice came in from outside.

Winter got tripped and nearly fell on the messy floor.

The bridal chamber was a mess. The food and dishes were knocked all over the floor.

Winter gasped in fear.

Before she could react, Etan's wheelchair already reached her side. Without warning, her arm was gripped.

A scream ensued.

Hiss!

A pain was soon shot through her.
