There is a chance of standing up, but it is almost negligible.
"Mom, don't be short-sighted, alright?" Jane Auclair didn't want to deal with her mother. Cole Duncan felt guilty about her pregnancy, and now, she wanted him to take responsibility and marry her, especially since he was half-paralyzed. If she continued to stay by his side, people would only have good things to say about her, Jane Auclair.
When she officially became Mrs. Duncan, she would have control over the Duncan family. At that time, she could spend Cole Duncan's money however she wanted, and if she pleased, she would keep a few boy toys.
In her life, Joanna Auclair had been Liu Changfu's mistress and has always had to be submissive and low-key. Now, Liu Changfu has not even shown up as a father in her ward.
So, she must become Cole Duncan's rightful wife, no matter the cost. For now, she was not worried about whether Duncan could recover in the future.
