“See? I told you she wouldn’t dare. She’s carrying a bastard, so of course, she won’t take the test,” Logan sneered. “Eliana, this baby is the undeniable proof of your affair!”
Logan gritted his teeth as he spoke to Eliana.
He acted like he already knew she was pregnant.
Eliana couldn’t take his attitude anymore,”
“So what if it’s a public check–up? As if play your stupid games.”

be afraid to do it,” she scoffed. “But Logan, you know I’m busy. I don’t have time
“Tell me, what if I’m not pregnant?” Eliana shot back. “About all that crap you just threw at me, how are you planning to do?
“Eliana, enough!” Logan was floored. He never expected her to talk to him like that.
Pack then, just a raised voice from him would make her panic. Now, she just stared at him, totally unfazed. “So what, Logan?
Du screw up and just act as if nothing happened? Is that how it works?
“Logan, the world doesn’t work that way. If accusing someone came with zero consequences, wouldn’t everyone be getting falsely accused left and right?
“Spreading rumors is easy, but you’d better be ready to face the consequences.”
People around started chiming in, clearly backing Eliana up.
“So what do you want me to do?” Logan asked, a bit flustered as the crowd’s suspicion turned on him again.
“It’s simple. You apologize to Mr. Turner and me in front of everyone. Make it sincere, a deep, ninety–degree bow. Not asking for much, am I?” Eliana shot back.
As soon as Eliana said that, Logan saw the smirk in Nathan’s eyes
Logan couldn’t help but feel utterly powerless and frustrated. Hed bent over backwards trying to get in with the Turner Group, only for Nathan to make things difficult for him at every turn.
And now, Eliana was defending Nathan and making Logan apologize to him. It was like she was deliberately trying to rub salt in the wound.
Seeing Logan hesitate, Eliana pressed on. “What’s wrong? Not so sure of yourself now, huh? Weren’t you just swearing up and down a minute ago?
“So Logan, deep down, you don’t even have a clue, but you still just run your mouth and ruin our name for no reason.” “Of course, I’m sure!” Logan shot back. “But what if you really are carrying his bastard? What then?”
“Just say it, whatever you want. Everyone’s watching.” Eliana said her voice steady.
“You’ll have to get rid of the baby, and you’ll apologize to me, as Lyons Group’s CEO,” Logan shot back, Eliana knew Logan’s demand was way out of line, but she agreed without a second thought.

On the paper, it was crystal clear: [Pregnancy: Negative.] In other words, Eliana wasn’t pregnant at all.

“Logan, have you lost your mind?” Eliana couldn’t hold back anymore; her patience finally snapped as she frowned at him.
“Aurora said I was pregnant? Any proof?” she shot back.
“She said she saw you throwing up at the party,” Logan muttered, his voice trailing off, suddenly unsure.
Looking back, he couldn’t even figure out why he’d been so convinced about it all.
‘Guess I was just too full of myself,‘ he thought, ‘thinking Eliana would never leave me, so I twisted everything she did to fit my own story!
So when Aurora told him Eliana was pregnant, Logan just bought it without a second thought. It all seemed to fit, so he never bothered to question it.
But now, staring at the test results and replaying everything in his head, Logan realized just how absurd and laughable it all
was.
Eliana couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “Seriously, your whole family is something else. You said it yourself, it was a party. I drank too much and threw up. How is that weird?
“Only you people could twist that into me being pregnant.”

“He judged her guilty over something so trivial, and he still has the nerve to call her his wife? What a joke,” someone scoffed.
“Miss, you should dump him. No way you can live with a guy like that,” another person chimed in.
“Apologize, man! Bow ninety degrees and do it right,” someone else shouted.
“Honestly, your wife’s way too nice. She got framed like that, and all she wants is an apology? If it were me, I’d make sure you lost everything, your reputation, and your money,” someone else added.
