Chloe was completely at a loss for words. Linda had Lisa backing her up. Everyone was pointing fingers, already pegging her as the one who pushed Linda.
Jacob and Leah rushed over when they heard the commotion. Jacob asked, "What's going on here?"
Lisa jumped in with her well-rehearsed story. "Dad, for some reason, Chloe pushed Linda, and Linda's pregnant."
Jacob's face darkened as he turned to stare at Linda. She was sobbing in Lucas' arms. This made Jacob even more troubled. Lucas, who was supposed to be Chloe's husband, was openly comforting another woman. This woman was also carrying Lucas' child.
Lucas was like a son to them, having grown up under their watchful eyes. They had assumed Linda was just a fleeting distraction for him. But now, things had spiraled out of control.
To make matters worse, the Moncada family had informed them that Chloe and Lucas had never legally married. Just days ago, Chloe had announced their breakup and even moved out of the Moncada family home. Perhaps Lucas had already secretly married Linda. And now, Linda had somehow become the Meadows family's goddaughter.
Jacob felt a pang of guilt towards Chloe. But knowing Chloe's zero-tolerance for deceit, he couldn't completely dismiss the idea that she might have pushed Linda. Jacob had made up his mind. With the elite of Riverbrook in attendance, he couldn't let the Meadows family be humiliated.
