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.
