Chapter 1036: "Did you really believe that Eileen is pregnant just because Jaliyah told you so?" Kamila walked over with a dark expression, her gaze locking onto Jessica. "It's clear you've been too trusting. And do you really intend to drag our Aston family into this mess? You're out of line!" Getting Jaliyah into trouble was an easy task for Jessica. However, Kamila was determined not to let Jaliyah disgrace the Aston family. Even if others viewed the Aston family as unreasonable, she was adamant that Jaliyah remain uninvolved in the scandal. Noticing Keith's concerned frown and his effort to restrain his anger, Eileen chose to remain silent.
"What do you mean?” Jessica asked, still puzzled. “Jaliyah, tell everyone that you toldthat Eileen's pregnant. Didn't you askto-" Kamila interjected sharply, "Shut up!" Jessica was left without words.

Several people helped Kamila to her feet first and then turned their attention to Jaliyah. Amid the confusion, someone said, "Oh, how could we forget that Jaliyah is pregnant? Are you alright, Jaliyah?" Suddenly, everyone grew anxious again. They helped Jaliyah to a chair and expressed their concern.
Jaliyah, who had been clutching her waist, stopped rubbing it upon hearing the others and quickly reassured them, "I'm fine. I don't feel any pain at all."

However, Jaliyah sprang up and said impatiently, "I don't need your fake concern! I know how I feel. The baby is fine!" With that, she grabbed Kamila, who had just sat down to catch her breath, and said, "Are you okay? Let's go to the hospital!" Jaliyah quickly pulled Kamila away.

Watching them leave, Eileen frowned, lost in thought. Keith asked Harrel to clear the crowd and then approached to apologize to Eileen. "I'm sorry. I didn't expect that to happen."
Eileen smiled and said, "It's fine, just a misunderstanding." Knowing Eileen was so astute, Keith realized that Eileen had already figured out it wasn't truly a misunderstanding. After a moment of thought, Keith inquired, "Did you know Harrell's wife before?"
"No. The first tI saw her was when I bid on the project,”.
Eileen replied, shaking her head.
