Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2051

Kai turned to Juliet and calmly asked, "Do you know why he's so desperate for a child? It's because his mom has been pressuring him nonstop for a grandchild.

"And when he's eating out with friends, they always end up talking about their kids. Whenever it's his turn, they tease and ask him if there's something wrong with him. Why else would he be married for years with no children?"

Such jokes could be laughed off a couple of times, but over time, they wore a person down and started questioning things.

Hubert hadn't thought Kai would be able to say anything that hit home. But the moment he heard those words, panic flashed in his eyes because everything Kai said was true.

His mom had always wanted a grandchild. Back when they were newly married, he was young and refused to be tied down by a kid, so he and Juliet kept brushing her off.

As their careers took off, the thought of carrying on the family line started to take root. He was a successful man now, so how could he not have a son?

Deep down in his heart, there was a more hidden reason…

Before he could speak, Kai spoke again and effortlessly exposed that darker, more selfish motive. It was something Trevaris had uncovered and told him.

"You think your couple-cooking content isn't interesting enough to drive traffic, and you've noticed how much engagement family channels get. Now, you want a child to pivot your account to that niche."

The livestream chat exploded at Kai's words. If what came before was understandable, this part was nuts.

Had Hubert been thinking of having a child just to switch their Internet content, or worse, having a child and using them for content?

Either way, it reeked of calculation. If what Kai said was true, Hubert must be insane for being willing to do anything to go viral.

As the livestream chat went feral, new viewers flooded in. The viewer count skyrocketed, but Hubert couldn't bring himself to smile.

Even without turning his head, he could feel Juliet's disbelieving and questioning stare on him. His expression began to twitch like he was trying to suppress his anger.

Then, he finally snapped, "Do you have proof? You don't, and you're just making guesses and stories! What's your motive? Are you crazy?
