Chapter: 682

"I need to find Madeline."

Kathy, dressed in a flowing white dress, spoke softly, her head bowed, and her hands nervously clasped in front of her. Her demeanor was strikingly similar to Madeline's.

Derek also seemed to notice something, examining Kathy with concern.

"Madeline, Kathy is here to see you." He called out to Madeline inside the house.

Upon seeing Kathy, she immediately asked, "Did the Andrews family hit you?"

How dare they! If news spread, they could be overwhelmed by the backlash.

She took Kathy by the hand and led her to the couch. "Kathy, tell me exactly what happened."

Derek observed the two women in confusion. Not long ago, due to the incident of orchestrating an assassination attempt, on the brink of an argument at any moment. When had they suddenly become capable of sitting together calmly and chatting?

Kathy caught Derek's gaze from the side and suggested, "Let's talk inside."

Derek remained outside alone.

He was puzzled. Why must they avoid him?

Once the door closed behind them, Kathy slammed the pregnancy test report down on the table.

“Weren't you supposed to have the records erased? Then why did the Andrews family have my medical records from Silver Boulder Private Hospital? Do you realize that right after our discussion, Joanna pulled out this record, threw it in my family's faces, and then kicked us out?"

She pointed to the red mark on her cheek. "This slap was from Dad after we were thrown out."

The imprint of the slap was still vividly red on Kathy's face.

Madeline looked uneasy, clearly not expecting things to go this way.

“When I messaged you, the other side assured me it had been deleted.

It was your idea to go to the hospital for the check-up in the first place. Couldn't you have just used a home pregnancy test?"

Kathy said in disbelief, "So it's all my fault?"

"If you hadn't given me your word that the record would be erased, I wouldn't have trusted you. Is this your idea of resolving my issues? Madeline, do you realize how close I came to succeeding with my plan? I almost pulled it off."

Kathy's eyes welled with regret. Her entire scheme had 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.
