They were about to leave; could this drama unfold any faster?

Kaden sensed something was wrong, stepping forward to grab Marlene's wrist, whispering through clenched teeth, "What are you doing? Have you lost your mind?"

Marlene looked displeased but still seemed to hold a trump card.

Her confident demeanor was unsettling, making Kaden's heart race.

"I'm pregnant. It's yours." Marlene paused for a moment, then laughed softly, dropping a bombshell.

Her voice was gentle but loud enough for everyone to hear clearly, like a bombshell dropped in the room, creating waves of shock.

Lilah was astonished.

Wow, that was indeed a major revelation.

Pregnant with Kaden's child? This was serious.

"What did you say?" At that moment, Karol let out a sharp scream, "How is that possible? You're lying! How could you be pregnant with his child? Marlene, have you no shame, saying anything that comes to mind? You bitch, you."

She stopped abruptly, realizing everyone was watching her, quickly lowering her gaze to hide the turmoil in her eyes.

Her reaction was beyond normal, shockingly intense.

"Mommy, when are we leaving?" Jerrold whispered, leaning close to Lilah.

Lilah gestured for silence. She didn't want to interrupt this drama.

She had to admit, pushing someone to the edge indeed brought out immense potential.

Lilah finally understood what Marlene meant that day.

She just never imagined that this woman would be so audacious, bringing everything to light here.

Wasn't this a direct slap in Karol's face?

"Oh, Miss Morris, why so agitated? My boyfriend and I are expecting a child together. Isn't that perfectly normal?

Your attitude gives me the impression that you're the one dating my boyfriend, " Marlene said, lifting her chin with a smirk, her eyes filled with mockery as she glanced at Karol.

"Hah, whether it's mine or not, I'm not even sure, " Karol retorted. At this moment, Kaden, standing behind Karol, spoke up, "Marlene, we broke up a long time ago. You can't just wave around a pregnancy test and expect me to fall for it."

His eyes were cold and angry.

How could it be possible?

Their time together was scarce, and he always took precautions.
