Chapter 409:
“Had you not givenyour word that the record would be erased, | wouldn't have trusted you. Is this your idea
of resolving my issues? Madeline, do you realize how close | cto succeeding with my plan? I almost pulled it
off."
Kathy's eyes welled with regret. Her entire schhad collapsed because of the pregnancy test report.
At that time, she hadn't interacted with Bryson at all! How could she fabricate a history with him? It was utterly
impossible!
That was why she and her family had been embarrassingly ousted from the Andrews family’s house. When
Madeline had given her assurance, she had sounded confident. But now, being challenged like this, her
confidence waned.
“How would | know where the Andrews family obtained the report? | guess marrying Bryson is no longer an
option. What's our next move?”
“Kathy! Look at what you've done!”

Madeline's words were abruptly cut off by Derek, who burst into the room and thrust his phone in her direction.
“The child you're carrying isn’t even Bryson’s? How dare you show up at their doorstep with such audacity? No
wonder Dad lashed out at you. If it weren't for your pregnancy...”
He felt a surge of anger, wanting to give her a piece of his mind.

What a shameless woman, carrying another man’s child and yet trying to pin it on Bryson. Did she think Bryson
was a fool? He was the heir to the Andrews family, one of the four prestigious families of Glophia.
Derek’s complexion turned gloomy.
“Because of you, our family’s reputation is ruined. Completely ruined.”
Madeline seized the phone from him and saw that Bryson had issued a statement across all social media
platforms. It read, “I had nothing to do with Kathy Carter's unborn child. Here's her pregnancy test report.”
The comments section below buzzed with speculation, many suggesting Kathy's attempt to pin the responsibility
on Bryson had backfired.
“Tsk, tsk, crossing the Andrews family spells trouble for the Carters.”
“Hey, | used to envy her for being with Bryson. What a turn of events!”
“Was the previous video intentionally leaked by her? Unbelievable!”
“It’s clear. The aim was to deceive Bryson’s family into believing the child was theirs.”
Kathy's eyes welled with tears as she read the comments, feeling her world crumble around her.
“Kathy, please, tell me. Who is the father of your child?” Derek asked, his hand on his forehead as he sank into a
chair, overwhelmed with anger-induced dizziness.
Their attempt to gain advantages from the Andrews family had not only failed but had also irreparably offended
them. The relationship between the two families was now beyond repair.
Kathy remained silent, refusing to utter a word.
Madeline had once stood by Kathy's side. Now, despite their failed plan, she still exhibited the loyalty of an ally.
“Derek, Kathy has been through a lot. Don’t make things harder for her. Let her rest, and we can discuss the rest
later.”

She gently urged Kathy to leave.
“Kathy, if you need anything, call me. It’s tfor you to go.”
After Bryson’s statement, Kathy's spirits had hit rock bottom, and she lacked the strength to confront anyone.
Turning back to Derek, Madeline placed a comforting hand on his back.
“Kathy is still young and inexperienced. How could she fully grasp the harsh realities of society? As her brother,
you have to support her more. This situation isn’t entirely her fault.”
She refrained from mentioning her involvement with Kathy, subtly implying that Kathy had been misled by
others.
“She may have genuinely believed the child was Bryson’s, especially considering the video from before.”
“But what about the report?”
“Perhaps it was fabricated by the Andrews family to avoid responsibility? Who would you rather trust, Kathy or
outsiders? Derek, let's give Kathy sspace and tto process.”
She needed tto cup with a plausible explanation.
