"Perhaps... perhaps if he knew about the existence of this child, he'd have other plans, you..."
"Scarlett, if that's the case, then it would seem like I'm using the child to threaten him. I don't want him to see me as the kind of woman who uses any means necessary to climb up the social ladder. Even though he never truly cared about me, I still hope that when he occasionally looks back, the impression I leave in his heart will be a good one."
"If you insist on having the child, then this is the way it has to be..."
Scarlett quickly thought of a solution for her, whispered it in her ear, and Stella's eyes suddenly brightened a lot.
She pondered over Scarlett's idea for a moment, then nodded and said, "Let me try this first. For now, this seems to be the only way to tell them."
