“Exactly. Make sure everything is in place. Since the Hargreaves family put my fiancée through that hell, it’s only fitting that I return the favor,” Timothy replied sharply.
Eric, already privy to the horrors Jennifer endured in that basement and the toll it took on her health, nodded firmly. “Absolutely, I’ll take care of it.”
Eric felt a deep sense of justice brewing. It was high time someone taught the Hargreaves family a lesson for treating Jennifer like dirt.
Back at the studio, Jennifer suddenly sneezed, a strange chill crawling down her

spine.

She thought, “Was it because of the whole pregnancy misunderstanding earlier?
Thankfully, I wasn’t pregnant. Not at all.”
After working for a while, her phone buzzed. It was Jason. She stepped aside to take the call. “Is there something you need?”
The media’s cleared everything up. It looks like the Clark family made a few calls. Everyone knows it was just a misunderstanding now,” Jason said.
“Yes, I see.”
Jennifer was well aware that this chapter had already closed.

Jason hesitated before continuing, “Since this all started because of me, I just wanted to check. Has the Clark family given you any trouble?”
“No trouble at all. It turned out to be just a misunderstanding. Why would they give me a hard time? You’re worrying too much,” Jennifer responded.
However, Jason sensed there was more to it. “Jennifer, if you ever find yourself in a bind, promise you’ll let me know. Even if it’s the Clark family putting the squeeze on you, I’ve got your back.”
“There’s really no need. Things are fine between me and my fiancé. If there’s nothing else, I need to get back to work.”

Jennifer concluded her words and
promptly ended the call.

With stubborn disbelief, Jason looked at Micheal and complained, “I’m telling you, she’s definitely lying. You know how those blue bloods are. They care too much about their image, especially Timothy, who is disabled. He’s not going to let this slide so easily.”
“But didn’t the paparazzi report them looking all lovey–dovey yesterday?” Micheal retorted.
Jason scoffed, “That’s just for show. In this industry, public displays of affection are often staged. You know that.”
In the world of the elite, displays of affection were often nothing more than a

well–rehearsed performance.

So, Jason couldn’t shake the feeling that Jennifer was being pushed into this whole lovey–dovey spectacle.
Micheal wasn’t entirely convinced. Timothy hadn’t been one for public displays before. But in the world of the rich and powerful, nothing was ever certain.
A few moments later, Micheal received a call and then turned to Jason. “Looks like you might be wrong. The paparazzi are saying Jennifer and her fiancé went for gynecological check–up. They think she’s pregnant.”
“What?”

For a fleeting moment, Jason felt his guard slip. He’d always prided himself on his irresistible allure. Why wasn’t Jennifer falling for it like everyone else?
Meanwhile, Jennifer started catching wind of the rumors swirling around her.
At first, she had no idea. She was sipping her coffee when a colleague casually remarked, “Shouldn’t pregnant women cut down on caffeine?”
Jennifer nearly choked on her drink. She replied, “Pregnant? I’m not pregnant.”
“Oh, come on. Everyone knows you and your fiancé went for a check–up today. What else could it be?”
“Yeah, and there are photos of you with

your fiancé’s mother at the hospital.”
Jennifer whipped out her phone, and there was the snapshot taken right outside the hospital. She was genuinely surprised at how clued in the paparazzi were this time.
She sighed, “I’m really not pregnant.”

Just then, a wave of nausea hit her, likely from the excess coffee.
Of course, that only made her colleagues more suspicious.
Kelly caught every word. She slipped outside to dial Sarah. “I’ve got the scoop on Jennifer’s pregnancy or lack thereof, but you know this kind of intel doesn’t come cheap, right?”

Sarah, clearly frustrated, argued, “Aren’t we friends?”
“Even friends need to set boundaries,” Kelly replied.
Sarah was seething, her face practically contorting with rage. Kelly had always taken advantage of Sarah, but in the end, Sarah still transferred the payoff to Kelly.
Only then did Kelly spill the details. “Jennifer keeps denying it, but I’ve seen her vomiting several times this morning, and she hasn’t eaten much. She’s probably pregnant.”
When Sarah got wind of the news, her face contorted into a mask of
pure
jealousy.

There was no way she would allow Jennifer to give birth to that baby.
