Abhijeet ji shook his head and said.
"If our family was ordinary or if Gautam wasn't Gautam but anyone else, you wouldn't have to bother with anything. However, Gautam bears the responsibility of the entire Kapoor Industries on his shoulders. I thought that he would be responsible for the entire Kapoor Empire since he was young.
Thus, to attain this goal, he must be absolutely rational. He cannot be swayed by his emotions. Back then, I already predicted some problems with Shreya. But fortunately, he merely opposed me for some time before understanding his own position and marrying you."
Feeling slightly uneasy, Megha leaned backward and looked at him.
He said, "I know that you're pregnant with his child. There are countless people out there waiting for him to die. Do you really want to continue living like this?"
Megha did not understand why he was so insistent that Gautam could not have any weaknesses.
She said, "Gautam had weaknesses in the past too."
Abhijeet ji shook his head. "No, you're his only weakness. If you don't leave, I will never stop worrying even when I'm dead."
"What exactly do you mean dadaji?" Megha asked.
Abhijeet ji shook his head vehemently. "Once the child is born, you must hand it over to me."
Megha could not believe her ears. She felt even more strongly that she had misjudged him. All this time, she had felt that he was an adorable old man. Everyone feared him but she did not think that he was as terrifying as they described.
However, such cruel words were actually coming out of his mouth now.
Megha asked, "Do you want the child to be born without a mother?"
Abhijeet ji remained calm as he said, "If the child is born in the Kapoor family, it will have everything it wants. It will not lack your insignificant maternal love. You think too highly of maternal love. The moment they were born, Gautam and Gaurav were brought up by their nanny. Aren't they completely fine right now? Forget it. After all, your family background is different from his, so you won't understand what it means to be born to the Kapoor Family."
Megha smiled grimly. "So ultimately, you just think that I'm not good enough for Gautam because of my background."
"That's not what I mean. Even if you were born in a wealthy and powerful family, I still wouldn't approve because it's too dangerous for you to stay by his side. Thus, I won't approve no matter who you are and how good you are."
Megha looked at him dejectedly.
Then, Abhijeet ji refocused his attention and said, "When your mother-in-law told me that you and Gautam had a one night stand, I merely wanted to kill two birds with one stone, so I forced him to marry you. Megha beta, you're a good woman, but you will only drag him down."
