I understand why Anna chose the hospital of the Bolton Group. After all, she had worked there for years, and everyone in the Boltons owed her a few favors. It made sense that she could easily get a fake medical report from someone at her family's private hospital. Typically, a woman doesn't start showing signs of pregnancy until she's around three to four months along, but Anna was barely two months pregnant, so no one could tell just yet.

Even though Ashley and Anna had no real emotional connection, Ashley's ambition and short-sightedness led him to fall for her scheme.

Knowing his family elders adored children, Ashley had unknowingly seized an unexpected opportunity to improve his standing.

Above him in the family hierarchy were two older brothers and a sister. One of his brothers worked in the entertainment industry; the other had taken over the family business. Neither of them was married, let alone had children.

If Ashley could have children before them, he could change his relatively unfavorable standing at home.

After learning of Anna's pregnancy, Ashley became especially attentive to her.

Anna, aiming to ease their relationship, skillfully manipulated him with her charm. It wasn't difficult for her to win Ashley over. After all, this was her specialty.

The Hudsons, however, were completely unaware of her past shady dealings with the Boltons. They thought she was as innocent as she appeared.

Perhaps she would even shift the blame onto me, painting herself as a victim.

Now, with her pregnancy, her status in the Hudson family was skyrocketing.

Today, Anna was feeling a bit under the weather, as she was nearly two months along-the time when early. pregnancy symptoms were at their peak. Ashley quickly took her for a checkup, unaware that Sadie would catch them in the act.

Before anyone could fully comprehend the situation, Sadie had already slapped Anna across the face.

It was just the kind of spectacle I'd been craving, but it was dark the other night, and Ldidn't get the full view, but now I finally had a clear view of the drama.

Worried that my mom might get caught up in it all, I quickly moved her aside and had her sit down to watch the show.

Given Anna's agility, I was sure she could have dodged Sadie's slap, especially since Sadie had given a loud warning before swinging.

But Anna didn't move. She must have been playing it up for Ashley.

It was a classic move from Anna-retreating to advance I had fallen for this many times before.

"M-Ms. Gardner? Why did you hit me?" Anna's gaze was evasive, and she looked as if she were the epitome

of innocence.

Men fell for that every time-Luke was a prime example.

Ashley had no real position in the Hudsons and used to suck up to Sadie.

But now, with a vulnerable woman who depended on him, his self-esteem was bolstered.

Moreover, this woman was pregnant with his child. Naturally, his attitude toward Anna had changed drastically.

When Sadie slapped Anna a second time, Ashley stepped in front of her,

"Sadie, what are you doing?" he asked.

Sadie, with tears welling in her eyes, furiously demanded, "What are you doing here?"

The hypocrita witnessing Bill's expression darkened; she could tell immediately that he was dissatisfied that her daughter had embarrassed the family.

The smart move would have been to distance herself from this mess, but his love-struck daughter celned unwilling to listen.

Monica Carroll stepped forward and tried to calm her daughter down. "Enough, Sadie. You've broken up with him. Why are you still making a scene?"

But Sadie was beyond reason; she clutched at Ashley's sleeve and refused to listen to her mother's "Tell me, why are you here?"

"Sadie, I'll explain later. There are too many people around, Ashley said. One of his hands was wrapped around Anna's waist, while one of his sleeves was tugged by Sadie.

They stood outside the ultrasound room, and people passing by couldn't help but stare at them, clearly Labeling Ashley as sc*mbag.

Ashley, a man obsessed with his pride, had been leading Sadie on privately, but that didn't mean he loved her. He had been stringing her along to keep his options open.

Now that everyone knew he was about to marry Anna, he couldn't be seen fighting with Sadie in public

Yet, Sadie wouldn't listen to reason. Through her tears, she pleaded, "How can you do this to me? You promised you'd love me forever. I've been so good to you, paying for every hotel room."

Bill, unable to tolerate it any longer, shouted angrily, "Sadie, have you caused enough trouble? Go home!"

He was utterly embarrassed by her behavior.

When Sadie heard his voice, she quickly turned to him "Dad, I can't live without Ashley. Please, let him work at our company. I'll overlook his relationship with Anna, but I can't just watch him marry someone else." "You fool, Bill snapped, his anger boiling over.

Sadie was basically asking him to hand over Gardner Goup to Ashley.

I hadn't expected Sadie to be such a fool.

I had hoped to use Sadie to get back at Anna, but with her naivety and childish behavior, she wouldn't last one round against Anna, who was a master at this game

Bill stepped forward and slapped Sadie harshly across the face.

And to think Sadie was his favorite daughter. Tsk, tsk.

Monica rushed to explain. "Honey, Sadie didn't mean that; she..."

Bill swept a cold glance at her, and he hissed, "Is this the daughter you raised? She's as dumb as a rock! Take her away before she embarrasses us any further!"

At that moment, the filtrasound room called for my mom. I had seen enough of the drama. I led Philippa out while everyone watched.

Anna finally noticed me; she probably saw me with Philippa. She didn't react much.

Monica forcibly dragged Sadie away. Ashley, trying to smooth things over, spoke up. "Bill, I can explain everything about Sadie."

"Stay away from my daughter, Bill warned, his voice low and furious. "If I replace out you're still in contact with her. I'll break your legs."

After that, Bill disappeared into the room in search of my mom. Anna and Ashley were the only two remaining.

Ashley patted her hand and asked, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine," she replied softly.

"You two'seem really close," I remarked with a smile.

Anna blushed and said shyly, "Well, Ashley and I have been getting to know each other better these past few days. He's been so kind to me."

"That's good," I replied, maintaining a polite distance.

"Anna, I need to speak with Mrs. Bolton. Please wait in the car for me."

"Okay," Anna said, looking particularly sweet and considerate in front of the men.

As soon as she left, Ashley's expression shifted to one of smug satisfaction. "Zoey, Anna is pregnant."

"Oh So what?"

He lowered his voice, a sneer in his tone. "I got her pregnant on the first try. You could've had the chance, but instead, you chose a cripple who can't even have children. You'll never know what it's like to be a real woman. Pathetic. Are you regretting your choice now? I couldn't even begin to understand his logic. His words left me stunned.

"Well, I guess I do regret it," I said, smirking.

"Haha, I knew it," he grinned, thinking he'd won 00:70%

I smiled and countered, "If I had known you were this good, I would've had Sadie put gold and silver on your dick. Or maybe I should have it surgically removed, place it on the shrine, and worship it day and night." Tue, Dec 10
