Leonard took a couple of steps forward and said to May, "Since you claim that you're pregnant with my child, I don't mind going to the hospital for a DNA test right now to prove my case..."
Phoebe panicked at this and hurriedly said, "Leonard, if you leave now, what's going to happen to our wedding?"
Leonard turned to look at her calmly. "Are you willing to marry me before we clear this matter up?"
"I..." For a moment, Phoebe was speechless.
It seemed like there was no way for her to answer this question correctly.
Obviously, Leonard was testing her as well. He knew May's child was not his, and have heard the rumors about Phoebe.
May, on the other hand, was starting to lose her composure because of Leonard's request to do a DNA test. She looked a little anxious.
At this moment, it was time for me to do my part. I broke away from Bell and quickly made myself known.
"I'm sure everyone knows of a scumbag like him, right? He got someone pregnant, yet he's refusing to admit it, and he's even making my sister marry him! I can't even imagine just how unfair this is for her!"
I deliberately made things out to sound like I was on Phoebe's side so that it would agitate the crowd even more. I wanted to see how Leonard would react.
"Queena, you again?"
Leonard glanced at me, seemingly not too surprised. It made me feel a little nervous, though.
"What's wrong, Mr. Nell? Have you had so many jilted lovers that you can't keep track of them anymore?" I sneered.
"You arranged all of this, didn't you?" Leonard asked.
Leonard's words made me flush a little. I quickly shielded May with my body, planning on continuing with my act.
I consoled her, saying, "Don't be scared, okay? With all the witnesses present, we won't allow him to get away with this. We'll make sure that you get the justice that you deserve!"
