Chapter 80
“W–Why are you suddenly asking about this?”
Fiona was stunned for three seconds, and she said with confusion, “Emilia definitely wasn’t pregnant. You said you wanted me to take care of her that time, and I went ahead to take care of her. But who knew that she would act as if nothing happened?”
Then, she added, “Ordinarily, one would be sad to lose their child. But Emilia wasn’t. Moreover, most people can’t get out of bed after having a miscarriage. She was discharged the next day. Is that normal?”
When Caroline, who stood at the side, saw Nathan asking about it all of a sudden, her expression turned slightly strange.
Nathan rubbed his temples and said, “Since you went to take care of her, didn’t you see any medical report issued by the hospital? Or didn’t you ask the doctor about what had happened?”
“Well…”
Fiona could not answer.
“It’s been too long. How can we even remember it clearly? Are you doubting us, Nathan?” Caroline, who was at the side, spoke loudly.
“So, you didn’t know the truth at all that time. But you’re so sure that Emilia faked her pregnancy?”
When Nathan spoke, the image of Emilia with tears brimming in her eyes and feeling aggrieved appeared once again as if she was right in front of him. He could not help but feel an inexplicable distress about it as well.
Fiona spoke unhappily when she saw Nathan’s doubtful expression. “Even if I don’t like Emilia, she would have been pregnant with the child. of our family, Nathan. It would also have been my grandchild. How can I treat the matter of a child lightly?”
“That’s right. Why do you suddenly ask about this, Nathan? Is Emilia. bad–mouthing us behind our backs again?”
Fiona and Caroline bickered and caused Nathan to have a headache.
“That’s enough. I just recalled something all of a sudden and merely asked about it. It’s all right if you don’t know. I’ll leave first. A driver will send you back later.”

Nathan did not continue to argue about the matter. After all, with Shawn’s capability, the result from the hospital would be sent to Nathan
soon.
After the incident with Jessica, Nathan would not merely listen to one–sided stories anymore.
“Okay…”
Fiona immediately turned around nervously and grabbed Caroline’s hand after watching Nathan leave.
“Why is Nathan suddenly mentioning Emilia’s miscarriage back then, Caroline? Did that bitch tell him something behind our back?”
Seeing Fiona’s nervous look, Caroline did not dare to look directly into her eyes. Instead, Caroline avoided Fiona’s gaze and looked away. “Who knows? It’s quite random. Weren’t we talking about Nathan’s wedding? Why were the pregnancy and miscarriage being brought up again?”
Nevertheless, Caroline had been brought up by Fiona. Because Nathan questioned Fiona all of a sudden previously, she did not realize it.
But now, even at a glance, she was able to see that Caroline was changing the topic.
At that time, Fiona hated Emilia. When she received a call from Nathan, she did not want to go at all. It was Caroline who took the initiative to go on her behalf.
Caroline was the one who told her about Emilia getting out of bed after the miscarriage.
“Was Emilia really pregnant back then?” Fiona stared at Caroline with wide eyes. “What really happened to her when you went to see her that time? Did she really-”
“Mom, are you doubting me? How could you believe Emilia instead of
me?”
Caroline shouted loudly as if it was a sore point for her.
After that, she continued, “I’m sure Emilia had no children back then! So what if Emilia is the daughter of a wealthy family? There are so many daughters of rich families around, but there are only a few men like Nathan who have a successful career and outstanding ability. In order to find a rich husband, one can fake a pregnancy. Haven’t we seen enough of people like this in our circle?”

Then, she added, “If she were to use the name of Saunders Group, I’m sure she would be embarrassed to do such a thing! But I’m afraid she merely wanted to marry Nathan and didn’t want to ruin the reputation of Saunders Group. That’s why Emilia used all her tricks and scheming ideas!”
Caroline continued, “She deliberately pretended to be poor and let us bully her. Maybe she wanted to use it to threaten us once her identity. was revealed in the future.”
Hearing what Caroline said, Fiona felt it was reasonable as well. Then, she nodded in agreement.
“That makes sense…
Seeing that Fiona was finally fooled by her words, Caroline secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
“Although Mom has always defended me, I can’t guarantee what will happen once Fiona finds out that the woman actually almost had a child back then. Moreover, it even…” Caroline mused to herself.
