With tears in her eyes, Lola looked at Kate sadly and painfully. "I really didn't expect such a thing to happen! I know I have done something I shouldn't have done, but I have never thought about being together with Murphy! Murphy lied to you. He did everything to make me go abroad with him. I suspect that... he drugged me that night..."
Hearing this, Kate shouted, "Shut up! How can you slander my husband? Lola! You slept with my husband, and you even slandered him for rape you? Why didn't you say that you seduce my husband first? If it weren't for you, how could he do those wrong things again? He has promised me to change the past, but it's you! You are going to destroy my family and my happiness!"
With a pale face and tearful eyes, Kate cried bitterly.
At that moment, Lola was a little flustered and trembled all over. She shook her head violently and said, "It's not me..."
"Stop quibbling! I heard your conversation clearly!" Sobbing, Kate continued, "You're pregnant. But he said it was him, and he wanted to take you away... You have been together behind my back. And I was trying to hide it for you! I don't want to lose him and you... But you did this to me... And you even want to take my husband away from me... Lola, how can you be so ungrateful to me?! What did I do wrong?"
"Kate... It's all my fault. I can't explain for what happened, because even I am a victim... I can't explain to you, nor do I want to pass the buck. But I can tell you for sure that I don't want to destroy your family, nor do I want to do anything else with Murphy! He did everything! Please see his face clearly. Don't be so stubborn and fall in love with him!"
Kate pushed Lola away and said, "I won't give up my husband! Even if he did something wrong, I will forgive him. Because I love him, I won't let him go! I just think that you have done something wrong. Don't blame it all on him... I can forgive you for hurting me. As long as you let him go and promise me not to pursue this matter, then I can pretend that I know nothing..."
Frowning, Lola muttered to herself, 'What on earth is Kate thinking about? Will she just forgive Murphy for what he has done?'
'But what about me? Now even Kate knows it... If I don't promise Kate, will she tell everyone that?'
'Should I take the initiative to tell Jacob?'
In fact, Lola had planned not to admit that the child was Murphy's.
But now, she didn't expect that things were getting more and more complicated.
And now Kate also knew it.
Lola was flustered. Biting her lips, she weakly sat on the sofa and muttered, "The child is mine, Jacob's, not Murphy's! You can't threaten me with this..."
Kate said softly, "I'm not threatening you. I just think that since you don't want Jacob to know this secret, I and Murphy can keep it for you! In this way, Jacob will never doubt who is the father of your child! Even if the baby is born and it is confirmed to be Murphy's, we won't interfere... But, if you really want to hurt Murphy, I won't allow you to give birth to this child! I don't agree no matter its father is Murphy or not!"
Staring firmly at Lola, Kate said in an unquestionable resolute tone.
Hearing that, Lola smiled bitterly. "You are threatening me..."
"Okay, you can take it as a threat! I can do anything for Murphy. Because I love him, so I'm willing to forgive him and you... Lola, you are my good friend. I even treat you as my sister... I'm also a victim of this kind of thing. Don't hurt him for me, okay?"
Hearing what Kate said, Lola froze in place... She had planned to deal with Mr. and Mrs. Zheng first and then get even with Murphy...
But she knew very well that Jacob was just making a compromise for the time being and would continue to deal with Murphy in the future. If she agreed to the request of Kate, she wondered how she explained it to Jacob.
Lola knew that Jacob must have misunderstood her again.
