Chapter 10
I was doomed. I’d anticipated Gabriel might take me to a hospital for tests–I’d even planned to have a pregnant friend provide a urine sample for me.
But I never imagined Gabriel would bring a doctor directly to the house.
What should I do? I’m about to be exposed!
I nervously watched Dr. Maxwell take out various instruments and begin examining me.
I was calculating how to explain myself when the test results came back.
Just then, Reed came downstairs in casual clothes.
I looked up at him, but Reed didn’t look at me. He walked straight down the stairs and stood on my other side.
“Dr. Maxwell, what are the results? Is Mile
“Let me see!”
pregnant?” Gabriel asked anxiously.
Dr. Maxwell picked up the test report and adjusted his glasses.
I nervously swallowed, my palms completel
sweaty.
“That’s correct. Miss Harper is indeed pregnant!”
The doctor’s words made me look up shock.
“Wonderful!”
Gabriel’s face showed a flash of joy as he personally escorted Dr. Maxwell out.
For a moment, only Reed and I remained in the living room.
I looked up at Reed suspiciously. He sim
shrugged, picked up his water glass, and went back upstairs.
Time flew by, and soon it was my wedding day with Gabriel.
Social elites and business tycoons all attended.
The hotel entrance resembled an international luxury car show.
Reporters stood ready with cameras to capture the momentous event.
As the music started, everyone waited for the bride’s entrance, but no one appeared.
Suddenly, the lights in the entire ballroom went out, and the screen lit up, showing footage of Gabriel and Penelope in bed together.
Their conversation echoed clearly throughout the hall:
“If Mila knew you set up your brother to sleep with her, and that the baby is actually your brother’s, she’d hate you to death!”
“She’ll never find out!”

13 Carrying Reed’s child?”
“Reed was set up by his own brother?”
“My God, if you can’t compete with ability, you resort to such dirty tricks?”
The guests buzzed with discussion.
Old Mr. West, who had specifically made time in his busy schedule to attend his grandson’s wedding, was now furious.
“You disgraceful bastard!”
His curse was followed by a resounding slap.
“You dare deceive me! You really think I’m going senile?”
“Grandfather, it’s not like that, it’s not!”
Gabriel grabbed his grandfather’s sleeve but was ruthlessly pushed away.
Having lost face, Mr. West looked to Reed, who approached with a wine glass: “Don’t worry, Grandfather. I’ll handle this.”
Mr. West glanced at Reed, giving a slight nod before leaving with his bodyguards.
Gabriel grabbed Reed’s collar: “Where’s Mila? Where did she go? You two planned this together, didn’t you?”
Reed pushed his hand away, seized Gabriel’s shoulder, and dragged him into the back room.
Reporters swarmed forward but were blocked by a wall of identical bodyguards.
In the spacious back room, Reed landed a vicious punch to Gabriel’s stomach:
“That’s for what you did to Mila in her previous life!”
Then came a second punch, and a third…
Gabriel doubled over on the floor, clutching his stomach.
