Chapter 169 " What the hell are you doing here?" Ivy asked, folding her arms across her chest. She already knew why he was here, but she asked anyway. Slightly hoping for a different answer. know what you did, I know how fucking jealous you are," Mason said, his tone filled with venom. "Watch your tone, mister," Stud cautioned, his voice harsher than his glare. Mason scoffed. "This-" he gestured to the guards. "-does not change anything.

You're still so bitter." Ivy sighed, realizing she didn't want to do this with him. "Have a great day, Mason," she said, turning toward the exit. But he stopped her with a furious outburst, so loud that everyone turned to stare. "You stole my newborn! You took him away from me because you couldn't bear the fact that I have a child and you don't! " Ivy jaw clenched. Not because of his words, but because of all the eyes on her. She turned sharply to him, giving in to the anger.

"Well, if you were half as responsible as you claim, I wouldn't have to pay for your child's hospital bills! " Her noise attracted Cheryl, who rushed to them. As soon as she saw Mason, she gasped and tried to flee, but Mason grabbed her arm. "Come here, you fucker!" he barked. Ivy knew it was none of her business, but she couldn't stand the way Mason was pulling Cheryl, and the way she was crying. "Let her go!" Ivy snapped, pulling Cheryl away. "Are you okay?" she asked.

Cheryl nodded, even though a bruise had already started forming where Mason had held her. "Oh, I see, " he laughed, his eyes gleaming with cruel amusement. "I see what you two are doing. You planned this." He pointed a finger at Ivy, but Stud knocked it off. "You played the long game. Pretend to be enemies, have me impregnate Cheryl, then be friends again and take my baby." Ivy scoffed, her voice tingling with disgust.

"You're a sick man and a bloody narcissist." 1 "You're not that important," Cheryl added, though her voice wobbled. "Well, good thing I had a plan in place," Mason said, laughing like a maniac as he signaled to someone behind them. They all turned, only to see Joe walking in with a brown folder in his hand. "Hello, Miss Scott and Miss Derrick," Joe greeted, moving to Mason's side. "It's Ms Stone to you," Ivy snapped. "My apologies," Joe said with a mock bow.

"Nobody gives a shit about her name, just tell thern," Mason demanded, snapping his fingers. "Here." Joe handed the brown folder to Cheryl. "What is it?" she asked, but Ivy snatched it from him. She tore the envelope and skimmed through the contents. After a few moments of checking, and still not understanding anything, she raised her head. "What is this?" 1/3 Chapter 169 That's the legal authority to take the child," Joe said. Cheryl gasped and hid behind Ivy. Ivy blinked. " What baby?

The newborn?" "My child! " Mason growled. "I have every right to take him." Behind fvy, Cheryl cried, and it fueled her anger. She couldn't believe Mason could possibly take the child. But then again, he was Mason and he was evil. " You can't do that. There's no way in hell a judge signed that." "Are you saying the San Francisco courts are stupid?" Mason challenged, tilting his head. "I'm saying nobody would want a man like you, a criminal, to have a newborn baby.

Father or not ." She had been meaning to call him that. She was glad the whole world knew too. She waited for the anger, the shock and then the embarrassment. And oh, she got it , but not in that order. Mason's eyes widened with shock, before his cheeks flushed, and then his expression twisted in fury. " You don't have the right to call me that!" he shouted. "He hasn't been convicted," Joe said.

"He's out on bail." "Doesn't change the fact that he's a criminal," Ivy countered, enjoying the anger on Mason's face. "Fuck your opinion, Ivy!" Mason roared. "Where is my baby?" Ivy stepped forward, anger boiling inside her. "Nobody is giving you a baby! Leave, Mason!" "I fucking go nowhere!" he shot back. "I spent hours waiting in the hospital for her to come back, she-" He gestured to Cheryl. "-came in an ambulance. An ambulance for a newborn! How does that make her fit?

How is she better than me?" Ivy knew he had a point, but she would never admit it. "So you followed her here? Like a psychopath?" "No, I followed my baby here. I need to see him," Mason said. "Why is she even running away? I didn't do anything wrong." Ivy waited for Cheryl to speak, but when she didn't, she continued, "I don't care what issue you two have, but it's unsafe to take a baby that small from his mother. How is he going to feed? He needs his mother.

You both need to resolve-" "Babies can take formulas," Mason interrupting her, stomping his feet. "I checked everything! Not all babies need breast milk, besides we can always buy that in the hospital from wet nurses or something." The fact that Mason had these horrible plans in play made Ivy a little uneasy. Before she could speak, Joe stepped forward. "The law already permits-" "Fuck the law!" Ivy shouted, throwing the folder on the ground.

"That baby's not going anywhere." "Your mother wants my child," Cheryl finally spoke. "She wants my baby for herself." Mason huffed. "And is that a big deal? It's her grandson. " Mason's statement seemed to trigger something in Cheryl, because she suddenly surged forward, anger glinting in her eyes. " That's my son ! " "If I go to jail, how do I console my mother?" Mason shot back. "Besides, she is a more experienced mother than you. She had two kids a long time ago , you just started.

You know nothing about motherhood. Leave it to the expert." 12 18:14 Sat , 24 May Chapter 160 ly listened as Cheryl and Mason argued back and forth, and her heart filed with gratituds for Sitas. Her husband would never do this, matter of fact. He had actually saved her from this humiliation. She would never know what it felt like to carry Mason's child-and thank God for As Cheryl and Mason continued to argue, Martha and Paige burst in. sy that. "Where is my baby?" Martha demanded.

She turned to Joe and smacked him on the shoulder. "Do your job!" Joe bent to pick the folder as Paige turned to Cheryl. "I knew you were fat," Paige sneered, her mouth curving with disdain. "You were lying that it was the pregnancy that made you fat. Right? Pig Cheryl gasped and held her stomach. Ivy hadn't even noticed the loose fat on Cheryl's stomach until now. "Don't be a bully, Paige," Ivy snapped. "You know she just had a baby." Paige turned her blazing eyes on tvy.

"And what will you know about babies, you infertile woman." "At least I'm married and I could try for a baby if I want," Ivy shot back. Paige flushed and retreated toward her mother. "Enough of this nonsense!" Martha barked. "If you won't give us the baby, we'll go to him ourselves!" Before Ivy could react, Martha and Paige sprinted down the corridor. Ivy's stomach knotted as she immediately followed. "Stop them, Stud!" she yelled as she chased after them.

But Martha and Paige were oddly fast as they quickly located the ward. They rushed in and bumped into a doctor. "Don't let them take my baby, Ivy!" Cheryl cried from behind Ivy as she struggled to run. From the corner of her eyes, Ivy saw Mason shove Cheryl, sending her to the ground. Ivy heard the thud followed by Cheryl's cry, but she couldn't stop. Stud reached Martha first, blocking her from entering the room. "Let me go!" Martha shrieked, wriggling from his grip.

The other guards surrounded Martha, trying to restrain her, but they had left the room unguarded, and Paige slipped in. Ivy rushed into the room, her heart pounding, her legs shaking. As she got inside, she saw that Paige had already grabbed the baby and was removing all the tubes attached to him. "I got him, Mom!" she shouted. The baby wailed. And
