I was doomed. I’d anticipated Gabriel might take me to a hospital for tests–I’d even planned to have a pregnant friend provide a urine sample for me.
But I never imagined Gabriel would bring a doctor directly to the house.
What should I do? I’m about to be exposed![]
I nervously watched Dr. Maxwell take out various instruments and begin examining me.
I was calculating how to explain myself when the test results came back.
Just then, Reed came downstairs in casual clothes.
I looked up at him, but Reed didn’t look at me. He walked straight down the stairs and stood on my other side.[]
“Dr. Maxwell, what are the results? Is Mila pregnant?” Gabriel asked anxiously.
“Let me see!”
Dr. Maxwell picked up the test report and adjusted his glasses.
I nervously swallowed, my palms completely sweaty.
“That’s correct. Miss Harper is indeed pregnant!“]
The doctor’s words made me look up in shock.]
“Wonderful!“]
Gabriel’s face showed a flash of joy as he personally escorted Dr. Maxwell out.
For a moment, only Reed and I remained in the living room.]
I looked up at Reed suspiciously. He simply shrugged, picked up his water glass, and went back upstairs.]
Time flew by, and soon it was my wedding day with Gabriel.]
Social elites and business tycoons all attended.]
The hotel entrance resembled an international luxury car show.]
Reporters stood ready with cameras to capture the momentous event.]
As the music started, everyone waited for the bride’s entrance, but no one appeared.]

Suddenly, the lights in the entire ballroom went out, and the screen lit up, showing footage of Gabriel and Penelope in bed together.
Their conversation echoed clearly throughout the hall:[]
“If Mila knew you set up your brother to sleep with her, and that the baby is actually your brother’s, she’d hate you to death!”
“She’ll never find out!“]
…0
“What? The bride is carrying Reed’s child?“[]
“Reed was set up by his own brother?“]
“My God, if you can’t compete with ability, you resort to such dirty tricks?“[]
The guests buzzed with discussion.[]
Old Mr. West, who had specifically made time in his busy schedule to attend his grandson’s wedding, was now furious.
“You disgraceful bastard!“[]
His curse was followed by a resounding slap.[]
“You dare deceive me! You really think I’m going senile?“]
“Grandfather, it’s not like that, it’s not!” ||
Gabriel grabbed his grandfather’s sleeve but was ruthlessly pushed away.
Having lost face, Mr. West looked to Reed, who approached with a wine glass: “Don’t worry, Grandfather. I’ll handle this.”
Mr. West glanced at Reed, giving a slight nod before leaving with his bodyguards.[]
Gabriel grabbed Reed’s collar: “Where’s Mila? Where did she go? You two planned this together, didn’t you?“[]
Reed pushed his hand away, seized Gabriel’s shoulder, and dragged him into the back room.]
Reporters swarmed forward but were blocked by a wall of identical bodyguards.[]
In the spacious back room, Reed landed a vicious punch to Gabriel’s stomach:[]
“That’s for what you did to Mila in her previous life!“[]
Then came a second punch, and a third…]

Gabriel doubled over on the floor, clutching his stomach.]
