Chapter 262 A Clever Woman

Sophie had neither the background nor the ability-she was nowhere near qualified to be Janet's daughter-in-law.

Benson's lifeless eyes suddenly flickered with hope.

"There's no pregnancy. It's all fake... It has to be!"

Seeing Benson latch onto this idea, Janet immediately felt reassured. The guilt that had been gnawing at her disappeared in an instant.

"Exactly! Women like her will do anything to trap a rich man. Just because she claims she's pregnant, we're supposed to take her word for it? If that's the case, then I must be the queen of the world!"
