Inside the villa foyer.
As soon as they came in, the doctor wanted to examine Nina Sinclair, but Julian Lancaster stopped him and told Nina to change her clothes.
Nina Sinclair was drenched and uncomfortable, so she went upstairs to change.
In the middle of changing her clothes, Nina found herself inexplicably nervous. Eventually, she thought that it might be better to get it off her chest sooner rather than later, so she wouldn’t have to keep hiding and worry about Old Madam Lancaster and Old Master Lancaster finding out.
After calming herself with these thoughts, she walked downstairs with a determined look in her eyes.
In the foyer, the family was sitting in small groups.
Old Madam Lancaster and Old Master Lancaster sat on the sofa, with Old Master Lancaster looking grim and dour.
Monica Lancaster sat beside Old Madam Lancaster with an appearance of meekness and understanding, though there was a shadowy look in her eyes.
As for Julian, he was sitting next to Old Master Lancaster, and neither of them spoke.
The atmosphere was slightly tense.
Vincent Lancaster, much lower in family rank, wasn’t qualified to sit near Old Master Lancaster and was seated at a distance.
While everyone waited, Nina Sinclair descended the stairs.
Old Master Lancaster finally moved, addressing the family doctor, "Go on and examine her."
Just now, Old Master Lancaster slowly started putting the pieces together. Why were Julian Lancaster and Nina Sinclair both so keen on preventing the doctor from examining her? The most update n0vels are published on noᴠelfire.net
And why was Sharon Lancaster so anxious?
It didn’t seem like she was worried about Nina; it was more as if she was afraid of something being discovered.
For instance, the child in Nina’s belly...
Old Master Lancaster, having weathered his share of storms, quickly grasped the situation and began to doubt Nina Sinclair.
Nina Sinclair sat down, calmly telling the doctor, "Go ahead with the examination."
The doctor placed her hand on Nina’s wrist. Although she’d been instructed by Monica to expose Nina’s fake pregnancy, she performed a serious examination.
Soon, her expression darkened. She looked at Nina and sneered, "Miss Sinclair, if I’m not mistaken, you’re not pregnant at all!"
As those words fell, the atmosphere grew palpably heavier.
Everyone was shocked by the doctor’s words, most of all Old Master Lancaster, who glared at Nina with piercing eyes.
This woman dared to deceive him!
He hadn’t approved of Nina Sinclair initially. It was only because Julian said she was pregnant that he reluctantly allowed her into the Lancaster Family.
Who would have thought it was all a lie, concocted by Julian and her to deceive him!
Earlier, Sharon was so agitated, she must’ve known about this all along. But do Julian’s parents know? Are they all complicit in hiding this from him?
The more Old Master Lancaster thought, the darker his expression became. Seeing the doctor say such things, Sharon immediately jumped up.
"What nonsense are you spouting? Nina clearly..."
However, before she could finish, Nina Sinclair interrupted her, "Sharon, sit down first."
Seeing Nina holding her back, Sharon was seized with anxiety, fearing that once Old Master Lancaster learned of this, Nina might be thrown out. What then?
Monica Lancaster heaved a sigh of relief, the corners of her mouth curling slightly.
At last, Nina’s deception was exposed.
At the back, Heidi Leighton and Justin Leighton almost burst with joy, nearly laughing out loud. Now that Nina’s fake pregnancy was exposed, how could she still have the gall to stay on!
