“I’ve had a full check-up,” Khloe said calmly. “My health is perfectly fine. There’s no issue with infertility. If you don’t believe me, I can send you the report right now. I’ve always kept it on my phone.”

Her composed tone hit Stella like a thunderclap. She had been ready to scold Khloe for her ungrateful, unbridled attitude, but this single statement dropped a bomb that left her dumbstruck.

“What did you say? You’re not infertile? That’s impossible… Trey adopted a child for you…” Stella stammered in disbelief.

Alicia saw the opportunity and immediately joined in mockery. “Khloe, you’re really good at lying. You say your check-up was fine-but you two haven’t had a child in two years? Maybe my brother’s the one with the problem?”

“That’s possible,” Khloe said with a faint, cold smile, her eyes narrowing. “You really should ask Trey why. My health is perfect, yet he didn’t dare… for two years. And then he adopted some random child just to cover it up.”

Alicia froze, her hand flying to her mouth. No way… could it really be…?

At that moment, Trey arrived behind Khloe. He had caught her words and his face immediately went pale.

She already knew about her own health? When did she find out?

Trey forced himself to stay calm, though his heart pounded. “Khloe… when did you have the check-up?”

At his voice, a cold gleam flashed in Khloe’s eyes. But her expression remained serene. Without turning her head, she replied lightly, “Not long ago… just by chance.”

“Khloe… was the hospital reliable? Your premarital check did show… but if you’re certain it’s fine now, maybe there was a mistake before. That would be great! But why didn’t you tell me sooner?” Trey’s words were flawless, his expression perfectly staged to show the joy of relief. Almost convincingly sincere.

Khloe glanced at him. Trey’s performance was impeccable, almost making her want to believe him.

“I didn’t get the chance to tell you yet,” she said slowly, a deliberately teasing note in her voice. “Besides, I was worried… what if the problem isn’t with me? After all, it was your idea to adopt a child.”

Her gaze drifted from Stella to Trey, then she smiled lightly. The implication was clear: it had always been Trey’s incompetence.

Stella and Alicia felt like they’d swallowed a fly. For a moment, neither could speak.

Their earlier scorn of Khloe now seemed ridiculous. If the truth got out-that it had been Trey all along-their family would look utterly shameless.

Trey felt embarrassed too, but hearing that Khloe had kept it secret out of concern for him filled him with guilt. Even though she had suffered quietly, she’d been thinking of him the whole time…
