Chapter 1035:
âSo, by your logic, if I were to see you in a funeral home, Iâd have to assume youâre preparing for your own cremation because you have an incurable disease, right?â Eileen said.
Jaliyah was left speechless, wondering if she had been mistaken about Eileenâs condition.
âThatâs not possible. If youâre not pregnant, why did you go to such lengths to hide it and end up in the obstetrics and gynecology department? Didnât you consult a psychologist just to deceive your husband?â Jaliyah said.
Eileen fell silent, shocked by how much Jaliyah had investigated her. She hadnât anticipated that Jaliyah would dig so deeply into her private affairs. She had no intention of discussing the matter involving Dalores and struggled to find a way to clarify that she wasnât the one hospitalized in the gynecology and obstetrics department. The situation with the psychologist was equally difficult to explain.
âIf we really want to hide something from you, you wonât be able to find out about it. Donât overestimate your abilities here,â Bryan said, his voice cutting through the tension with a cold edge.
Jaliyah was left speechless.
âWhatâs going on?â Jessica asked Jaliyah in a low voice. âI promised you Iâd create a scene, and you were supposed to handle everything!â
Although Eileen couldnât hear their whispered conversation, it was clear to her that Jessica was being used as a pawn.
With a faint smile, Eileen turned her attention to Jaliyah. âIt seems like you might be the one whoâs actually pregnant, Jaliyah. I remember seeing you in the gynecology and obstetrics department. Are you expecting?â
.cóm is the source There was an unsettling gleam in Eileenâs eyes that made Jaliyah feel uneasy.
Jaliyahâs face flushed with unease as she snapped, âWhatâs wrong with me being pregnant? Iâm married.â
âWhy are you being so defensive?â Eileenâs tone was calm but pointed. âIâm married, too, and you still accused me of carrying another manâs child. Why is that? Are you carrying another manâs child? Thatâs probably why you think that about me, right?â Eileen quickly turned the tables and shifted the blame onto Jaliyah.
The onlookers cast odd glances at Jaliyah. Just as she was about to speak, Eileen cut her off.
âItâs just speculation, so donât take it too seriously. Itâs not good to upset your baby,â Eileen said with a smile. âJaliyah, please step aside. Jessica needs to apologize to me now.â
It wasnât until Eileenâs reminder that everyone recalled Jessicaâs failure and her obligation to apologize and publicly condemn her parents online.
Seeing Jaliyah trying to flee, Jessica quickly rushed over to stop her. âWhy should I apologize? You need to make her apologize. She was the one who told me you were cheating on your husband and pregnant with another manâs child.â
Jaliyah was left utterly speechless. The atmosphere was thick with tension, and everyone could sense the undertone of conspiracy.
Bryan had clearly been lured here, and it was strange for the old man to show up at the banquet. While the attendees were unaware that Bryanâs presence was to ensure Eileenâs safety, they recognized that only someone with considerable influence could have brought the old man to the event.
Jessica lacked the power to achieve this, but Jaliyah had the means.
