That Doctor Doesn't Have a Problem, Right?

He'd guarded against this all night, and yet in the end he still hadn't managed to prevent it!

Old Mrs. Sterling gave a light cough and soothed him, saying, "Alright, there are still people here. Don't let them laugh at us. Have them see the guests out first, and we'll go check on Claire's condition."

Seeing the guests still around them, Old Mr. Sterling felt that Old Mrs. Sterling was right, so he nodded.

Next, Old Mr. Sterling instructed his sons to see off the remaining guests.

As for him and Old Mrs. Sterling, they returned together to the detached house, because both of them were very concerned about whether there was anything wrong with Claire Bennett's belly.

Megan Sterling frowned unhappily, not expecting the plan to have failed.

At that moment, she noticed a gaze on her. When she turned to look, she found Ethan Sterling watching her. She exchanged a look with Ethan Sterling and the others, and saw some dark emotion in their eyes.

The two of them said nothing, only silently following behind.

Under the guidance of the other members of the Sterling family, the guests left in an orderly way. Although this little accident had shocked everyone quite a bit and everyone was deeply surprised, now that the hosts were already asking them to leave, it wouldn't be appropriate to shamelessly stay any longer.

In the blink of an eye, almost all the guests at the scene had left.

Only the two people involved, Hazel Lewis and Daniel Lewis, were still standing where they were, father and daughter exchanging a look.

A moment ago, Hazel Lewis had gone so far as to use herself to make Claire Bennett fall into the water, but when the doctor had come over intending to expose her, she hadn't succeeded. Now they still didn't know what Claire Bennett's outcome would be.

Would Julian Sterling continue protecting her?

If Julian Sterling protected Claire Bennett, then wouldn't their plan fall through?

Hazel Lewis lowered her voice and asked, "Dad, what do we do now?"

At that, Daniel Lewis's eyes darkened. Gritting his teeth, he said, "The current situation is extremely unfavorable for Claire Bennett. Even if they avoid it for the moment, it won't help. The fact is there's nothing in her belly, and as soon as she's examined, everything will be exposed. That doctor doesn't have a problem, right?"

Hazel Lewis nodded and said, "There shouldn't be any problem. Megan said she'd arrange everything."

Hearing that, Daniel Lewis finally let out a breath of relief.

Although they hadn't exposed Claire Bennett in front of all the guests, being able to make Old Mr. Sterling and Old Mrs. Sterling dislike Claire Bennett was already the best possible outcome. Once Claire Bennett was driven away, naturally they'd finally notice the Lewis family.

Besides, with so many people around Claire Bennett now, she didn't have some heaven-defying ability to bribe the doctor into faking things.

Daniel Lewis sneered. "Let's go. We'll go take a look too."

With Daniel Lewis supporting her, Hazel Lewis walked together with him toward the detached house.

Inside the detached house's living room.

After they had just come in, the doctor had wanted to examine Claire Bennett, but Julian Sterling stopped her and had Claire Bennett go change her clothes.

Claire Bennett was soaked from head to toe and truly uncomfortable, so she went upstairs and changed into a new set of clothes.

While changing, Claire Bennett felt inexplicably nervous. In the end, she decided that since she'd already been worrying this would be exposed, it might be better to make things clear sooner. That way she wouldn't have to keep hiding it every day and worrying that Old Mrs. Sterling and Old Mr. Sterling would find out.

After comforting herself like that, a determined light appeared in her eyes, and she walked downstairs.

In the living room, everyone was seated here and there in twos and threes.

Old Mrs. Sterling and Old Mr. Sterling were sitting on the sofa, and Old Mr. Sterling's face looked dark and ugly.

Megan Sterling was sitting beside Old Mrs. Sterling, looking obedient and sensible, while in reality there was an unreadable gloom in her eyes.

As for Julian Sterling, he was sitting beside Old Mr. Sterling, and neither of them spoke.

The atmosphere was somewhat heavy.

Ethan Sterling's generation was much lower, and he didn't have the standing to sit near Old Mr. Sterling, so he sat far off to the side.

While everyone was waiting, Claire Bennett came downstairs from upstairs.

Only then did Old Mr. Sterling move, saying to the family doctor, "Go examine her."

Old Mr. Sterling had also gradually thought some things through just now. Why had Julian Sterling and Claire Bennett kept stopping the doctor from examining her?

And why had that girl Ruby Sterling been so nervous?

It didn't look like she was worried about Claire Bennett's condition at all. Instead, it looked more like she was afraid something would happen.

For example, the child in Claire Bennett's belly...

Old Mr. Sterling had weathered plenty of storms; he instantly understood the key point. He had begun to suspect Claire Bennett.

Claire Bennett sat down and said calmly to the doctor, "Start the examination."

The doctor placed her hand on Claire Bennett's wrist. Although she had been instructed by Megan Sterling to expose Claire Bennett's fake pregnancy, she still examined her seriously.

Very quickly, her expression darkened. She looked toward Claire Bennett, let out a cold laugh, and said, "Miss Bennett, if I haven't diagnosed this wrong, then you should not be pregnant, right?"

As soon as those words fell, the atmosphere at the scene became especially tense.

Everyone was shocked by the doctor's words, and Old Mr. Sterling in particular shot a sharp look at Claire Bennett.

This woman actually dared to deceive him!

He had never accepted Claire Bennett in the first place. It was only because Julian Sterling said she was pregnant that he had reluctantly allowed her into the Sterling family.

He'd never expected that everything was fake, that Julian Sterling and she had joined hands to deceive him!

From how agitated Ruby Sterling had been just now, she probably already knew about this, right? Then did Julian Sterling's parents know too? Had their whole family been keeping this from him?

The more Old Mr. Sterling thought about it, the darker and uglier his face became. When Ruby Sterling saw that the doctor had actually said that, she immediately jumped to her feet.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Claire obviously she..."

However, before she could finish, Claire Bennett cut her off. "Ruby, sit down first."

When Ruby Sterling saw Claire Bennett stopping her, a flash of anxiety passed through her eyes. She was afraid that after Old Mr. Sterling found out, he would throw Claire Bennett out. What were they supposed to do then?

Megan Sterling let out a sigh of relief, the corners of her lips curling faintly upward.

At last, Claire Bennett had been exposed.

In the back, Hazel Lewis and Daniel Lewis, the father and daughter pair, were also overjoyed, almost bursting into loud laughter. Claire Bennett's fake pregnancy had been exposed, so now let's see what face she had left to keep staying here!
