Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 774

"How could she and I possibly have a kid?" Dave never once glanced towards Nancy, his voice laced with disbelief. "You believe whatever she says, but when it comes to me, your own son, your own grandson, you don't buy a single word?"

Of course, the Carters weren't fools to be easily led by the nose.

Believing Nancy was just a means to an end - to break Dave and Catherine apart.

"Nancy wouldn't frame you with something like this," Norman stated firmly, with Jane adding, "We can believe you too, but do you have any proof that the child isn't yours?"

Dave replied coolly, "When a DNA test is possible."

The Carters shared an unspoken agreement, with Jane suggesting, "We can wait. But let's wait until the pregnancy is more stable, around four or five months. During this time, you need to take responsibility. If it turns out the child isn't yours, we won't force you." A realization hit Dave.

Nancy's pregnancy must have been part of her scheme from that night. Without this child, he could have pressured Nancy into revealing what really happened that night.

Dealing with Merritt was simpler; as long as his story matched Nancy's, the lack of surveillance footage wouldn't matter.

But now, with Nancy pregnant, if anything happened to the child under his watch, he'd struggle to clear his name.

It was indeed a clever plot.
