Chapter 764
“How could I possibly have a child with her?” Zachary didn’t even glance at Nina. “You believe everything she says, yet you don’t trust what I, your own son and grandson, say,”
The Collins family members were not fools, they wouldn’t let others mess with them.
They trusted Nina only because it might help separate Zachary and Jane.
“Nina wouldn’t go so far as to frame you with something like this,” said Eric.
Afterward, Rebecca chimed in, “We can believe you too, but what evidence do you have to prove that this child isn’t yours?”
Zachary replied coolly, “I’ll wait until a paternity can be done.”
The Collins family understood each other’s intentions. Rebecca added, “We can wait, but it will take time. We need to wait until the fetus is stable, around four to five months, So during this time, you’ll have to take responsibility. If the results show it’s not yours, we won’t force you to be responsible.”
Zachary’s mind raced, and he suddenly realized something.
Nina’s pregnancy probably began that night when they set the trap.
If there hadn’t been this child, he could have used some means to make Nina reveal the truth about that night.
It would have been simpler with Michael, as long as it aligned with what Nina said, the lack of surveillance footage wouldn’t matter.
But now, Nina was pregnant.
It wasn’t that he cared about the child, it was just that if something happened to the child while in his hands, it would be hard to clear his name.
It truly was a clever scheme.
He should never have let his guard down.
Having grown up in the Collins family, Nina could never have been an innocent person.
“Right now, we don’t even know whose child it is, and there’s no way to prove it’s mine. Why should I be responsible?”
“If the test shows it’s mine in four or five months, I’ll take responsibility,” he said, standing up and smoothing out the wrinkles in his coat. His tone was flat. “I won’t disturb your meal any longer, I have other matters to attend to.”
“Zachary…”

The previously quiet Nina chased after him.
Before Zachary could open the car door, she hugged him from behind.
“Let go!”
Zachary’s voice was as cold as the winter air.
Ignoring him, Nina tightened her arms around him, burying her face in his back and crying.
Zachary tried to pull her off but couldn’t exert too much force.
In the end, he couldn’t pull her away, and his brows furrowed in frustration.
“Nina, don’t exhaust all the brotherly feelings have left for you.”
“I’m not completely powerless against you,” she replied, still holding on, her voice trembling with a mix of grievance and desperation.
“Zachary, the child in my womb is truly yours. If That night, I recorded a video.”
you don’t believe me, I have video proof.
Jane finished her meal and decided to wash the dishes.
She wouldn’t have done this before, but now she felt it wasn’t so bad to do it occasionally.
It turned out that being with someone you love made everything enjoyable.
Just as she was about to find Charlotte to chat about something, her phone rang.
It was a new email notification.
As she open it while walking toward the sofa, she didn’t notice and tripped over the coffee table.
