Chapter 267 Assertive
A shocked expression that I’d never seen on him before painted his face. His eyes lit up as he stared at my belly.
Ever since I knew him, he had always been a matured and steady man who could hide his emotion well. Yet, the moment he heard the news of me getting pregnant, an inexplicable gleam flashed across his eyes. Well, is it surprise or excitement?
The gleam faded so fast that I nearly missed it. Meanwhile, silence blanketed the scene as everyone looked at me in utter disbelief.
After all, it was indeed a surprise when I suddenly appeared and dropped that bomb at Michael’s wedding. Moreover, Michael had officially announced to the public that he loved me before.
The scene today was undoubtedly a slap to Emma’s face.
Josephine, who was standing behind me, looked at me in astonishment as well. The moment she came to her senses, she quickly walked over to my side, her gaze falling on my belly.
“Are… you really pregnant with Michael’s child?” she asked, her voice trembling.
As expected, everyone present was astounded by the shocking piece of news.
“Mrs. Shaw, I will never joke about such a matter. I’m telling the truth. If you don’t believe me, you can have a look at the medical report.”
I took out the pregnancy test report from my bag and handed it to Josephine to prove my words.
She snatched it over and flipped through the report urgently.
Meanwhile, Emma glanced at the people down the stage. When she saw that everyone’s attention was solely on me, she couldn’t help but feel annoyed. After all, she was the bride.
After looking through the report, Josephine had started to believe me. Seeing that, Emma quickly approached her and persuaded, “Mrs. Shaw, don’t listen to her nonsense. She’s trying to interfere with our wedding by making up that lie. As you know, things like pregnancy test reports can be forged, so we must not be deceived!”
I looked at Emma coldly. My hatred toward her deepened. She had known about my pregnancy for a long while, yet here she was, lying through her teeth.
“You knew about my pregnancy long ago. Don’t you feel disgusted to say now?”
However, since Emma was the daughter-in-law who Josephine acknowledged, the latter, of course, sided with her. Even though the reports were enough to prove my words, she still chose not to trust me. Instead, she looked at Michael to ask his opinion with a frown.
“Michael, what do you say?” she asked, embarrassment coursing through her. “How should we deal with this matter? As for the wedding between you and Emma…”
“Cancel the wedding!”
Michael turned around and left swiftly after saying that.
