"Is there a problem, Ethan? You're not suggesting you want to sabotage the baby's arrival, are you?"

"Trying to snatch someone's inheritance now, are you? That blatant?"

Lucy didn't hold back, lunging to snatch the photo from Ethan's grasp.

Eva wasn't about to be outdone, lifting the photo high out of reach.

"Clyde and Melanie expecting a baby should be cause for fireworks, but the woman carrying it might not be carrying a Patterson heir!" "Look at this photo. This woman's been around, slept with who knows how many men, and the cops found out she's got a daughter!" "This kind of woman, how many times has she schemed against Melanie? You really think she's carrying Clyde's child?"

Eva came over to me, gripping my hands tightly.

"Melanie, don't you worry. Ethan and I, we've got your back."

"In our eyes, you're the only Mrs. Patterson that counts. No one else!"

Lucy, seizing the moment, launched into a tirade.

York, meanwhile, just watched, keeping his silence.

I knew all too well Ethan's family wasn't genuinely on my side. It was all because I couldn't bear a child, and now their son returning from abroad saw a chance to step into the Patterson Corporation.

The Lairds must have their own agenda, using the name of that child to achieve their own goals wasn't off the table.

I stayed silent, knowing this wasn't a place for me to speak.

Besides, I was soon to be no longer part of this family, right?
