Scarlett's POV:
The next morning, I got up and walked downstairs when my son was still asleep. I rubbed my sore eyes and yawned as I walked.
When I heard the sound of news on TV, I immediately jolted back to reality.
"Scarlett, come here! Look at this. The news says that Nate had something to do with your father's death!" Christine said in an excited voice, waving at me while she sat on the sofa.
I rushed to her side and saw that a reporter was interviewing Nate on TV.
"It's all just rumors. People are trying to slander me. I can swear that I have never done such a thing! And I know that the police and the judge will also agree with me!" Nate swore with his hand in the air, looking righteous and aweinspiring.
"What a hypocrite!" I sneered.
All of a sudden, I heard a noise coming from behind me, so I turned around and found Charles.
Our faces were so close that I could even see my reflection in his shiny eyes.
"Don't worry. No matter how much he tries to justify himself, the truth will come out," Charles said in a serious tone, looking at me.
I gave him a nod before I stepped back to put a safe distance between us.
Charles' words seemed to work like magic as they calmed me down instantly. When I looked at Nate, who was acting so righteous on TV again, I felt like he was being ridiculous.
He looked like a weak mouse that had been cornered by the cat.
After I had breakfast, Janet drove me to the TV station.
Lily's POV:
I was lying down on the sofa in the glass greenhouse at Nate's villa, resting as I enjoyed the gentle morning sun and a crisp fragrance of the dew.
All of a sudden, I heard a loud sound.
I immediately sat up, panicking, and found Rita pushing open the door and storming towards me, accompanied by many burly-looking men.
"Rita! What do you think you're doing? This is my home!" While attempting to stop her, I accidentally slipped and fell from the sofa.
Rita looked down at me and sneered, "Your home? What? Do you really believe that you're the hostess of the Lively family now?"
"No, don't get me wrong. Obviously, you are the princess of this family, after all, you are Nate's daughter..." Knowing that her intentions might not be very nice, I tried to coax her while I quietly reached for my cellphone to call Nate.
But to my surprise, Rita saw through it, approached me, and snatched the phone away from me.
With a disdainful smile on her lips, she looked at the screen before she turned to her bodyguards and signaled to them.
"What a hypocritical bitch! You don't deserve to give birth to my father's child at all. Hurry, take her away!"
As soon as she gave the order, two bodyguards immediately approached me with an unfriendly look in their eyes.
Frightened, I took a step back and screamed in a shrill voice, "Rita! Does your father know about this? He would never allow you to treat me this way!"
"I don't care what he thinks. We'll see how he reacts when he finds out, won't we?" Rita cast a cold glance at my belly, making me shiver.
"My son is the heir of Lively Group. If you dare to hurt me or him, Nate won't let you go!" I struggled to free myself from the bodyguards ' grip, but I was no match for their strength.
"Let's go."
Rita turned around elegantly, making the hem of her white skirt flow with the wind, like a row of white flower petals. On the outside, she looked beautiful and pure, but on the inside, she was truly a vicious demon!
Her bodyguards dragged me to the hospital, and she asked the doctor to do a paternity test for my baby.
"Help! Can someone please help me?" I shouted.
And the next moment, one of the bodyguards rudely pinned me against the chair and covered my mouth with his rough hands.
A long time later, I saw the doctor handing a report to Rita.
Reading it, Rita looked at me with a gloomy expression. "What? I can't believe that she's actually carrying my father's child in her belly!"
I shrank back in fear, sensing an ominous premonition.
By the time I was sent back to Nate's villa, it was in the afternoon.
