NovelEnglishChapter 394:
Kathy sat upright on the sofa, her hands tightly clasped together. Despite her parents being by her side, the
stern gazes of Darwin, Raina, and Bryson made her feel uneasy. Sharon and Juliana had decided to teach Kathy a
lesson after learning about her actions.
However, when they saw her kneeling and crying, confessing her feelings for only Bryson, their hearts softened.
Kathy was young, and mistakes were bound to happen. As her family, they needed to think strategically about
how to turn this situation to their advantage. Encounters like this could be especially damaging for young
women, while men could easily walk away without any consequences.
Moreover, Derek and Adrian had mentioned that this could greatly benefit their family. So, the Carter family
deliberated on how best to use this to their advantage.

Sharon chuckled lightly. “Kathy’s dad and | didn’t want to get involved in the young people’s affairs. We're here
because Kathy is pregnant.”
She placed a report on the table and slid it across. “Take a look at this.”
The Andrews family members turned pale as they read the report under the watchful eyes of the Carter family.
Kathy was indeed pregnant.
Bryson quickly calculated the timing. The dates aligned perfectly with when the video had surfaced. Could he be
the father? Joanna, in disbelief, examined the report. Despite her doubts, the report confirmed Kathy's
pregnancy. Visibly upset, she slammed the report down on the table, her face remaining silent.
Adrian glanced over at the Andrews family and said, “Kathy is cherished in our family. It's her right to date
Bryson. But now that she’s pregnant, we need to step in. The child is innocent. Surely, you wouldn't want the
baby to grow up without a father, would you?” His words echoed those Madeline had used when she first visited
the Carter family.

It turned out this was the rationale behind arranging a shotgun wedding for their daughter. With Kathy carrying a
baby, they felt they had power over the Andrews family and could demand whatever they wanted without limits.
Adrian remained composed.
Derek’s presence wasn’t ideal. Adrian was the one best suited to advocate for the Carter family. He needed to
stay calm and assert the Carter family’s demands to the Andrews family, just as his son had suggested.
Darwin furrowed his brow and said, “If Bryson is the father, we'll take responsibility. What do you think, Bryson?”
Darwin had anticipated that the Carter family’s main purpose was monetary compensation, but he hadn't
expected this turn of events.

Yet, Bryson found himself trapped and felt forced to comply. He blamed his son for the major failure, despite
everything he had experienced in the business world.
Bryson, holding the report, remained silent for a moment before saying, “The decision rests with the Carter
family. | won't object.”
With the report clearly indicating his paternity, what else could he say? Deny that he was the father? The video
that had circulated across Glophia had already confirmed his involvement.
Raina scoffed as she observed the Carter family’s expressions. “I've encountered many like you before. If not for
that video stago, we wouldn't have even let you enter the door.”
Raina’s comment implied that Kathy had planned the entire scenario, causing the Carter family’s expressions to
darken. Kathy's face showed panic as she quickly clarified, “It was Bryson. He draggedinto the room... and
then it just happened.”
As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes. She was no longer the arrogant and domineering Kathy everyone had
known.
