Chapter 166

“Isn’t the Chandler heiress the one who closed out Morgan Group’s Spring Collection runway? With a figure like that, no way she’s pregnant!”

“Morgan Group sure knows how to grab headlines this year. First the finale model scandal, now trouble with the Design Director–it’s one mess after

another.”

“What’s this got to do with the company? It’s Sophie who’s shameless–pregnant before marriage, dragging Morgan Group’s name through the mud.”

“I saw her at Nightfall Bar not long ago. Wondered what a good little princess was doing there. Now I think about it–maybe the father’s some random

model from the bar!”

“She really is shameless. I sided with her when she broke off her engagement with Liam. Now it’s obvious she just wanted to cover up her own cheating!”

Sophie’s grip tightened around her phone, fury rising.

Damn it–it had to be Liam.

Before public opinion turned against her family, she had to take control.

She drove straight to the Chandler estate.

Her parents and Ethan Chandler sat on the sofa, phones quickly put away as she entered.

“Dad, Mom, Ethan–you’ve seen what’s online. Let’s not waste time.” Her voice was calm, almost unnaturally so. “I am pregnant.”

Silence fell, heavy as stone.

They had assumed the trending post was slander. The truth left them stunned.

Sophie lifted her head, eyes clear and steady.

“The child isn’t Liam’s. And it’s not some stranger’s either.”

She paused, then spoke evenly.

“After our engagement, Liam got me drunk. I don’t remember what happened that night. The next morning, he was lying beside me, claiming he’d be responsible.

“But later, I overheard him–he admitted he never touched me. The engagement was just a ploy to use our family’s influence and climb higher in Morgan Group.

“That’s when I started distancing myself from him, and working to cancel the engagement.”

Ethan’s face twisted with rage. He shot to his feet.

“Liam deserves to die. I’ll kill him myself!”

“Ethan, don’t!” Sophie grabbed his arm. “Please, don’t be reckless.”

He turned to her, eyes bloodshot,

“Sophie, you’ve suffered so much, and you kept it from us? Tell me–who is the father of this child? Who hurt you that night?”

“It doesn’t matter,” Sophie said softly. “What matters is that he isn’t some random man. That’s all you need to know.”

Her voice grew tight. “The doctor said my body makes pregnancy difficult. If I abort this child, I may never conceive again. I won’t give it up.”

“Sophie, don’t say such things.”

Her mother clutched her hand, tears brimming. “You’ve endured enough. This child is innocent. Even if we never know the father, the Chandler family will raise it as our own.”

“Mom…I’m sorry. I’ve tarnished the Chandler name.” Sophie’s voice cracked.

Her father cleared his throat, face stern.

“You’ve done nothing wrong. Our century of family honor won’t be stained by this nonsense.

“The internet moves fast. We’ll crush the trending post, and in time, people will forget.”

“Dad, no.” Sophie’s eyes shone with quiet resolve. “I’ll handle this. I don’t want the Chandlers dragged into the spotlight.

“There’s no need to suppress the trending post. The innocent have nothing to fear. I’m the victim here. If we force it down, it only makes us look guilty.

“And clearly someone is behind this, fueling the fire. If we act rashly, they’ll only use it against us.”

Her father studied her with weary eyes, suddenly realizing how much she had changed.

“Sophie…what have you gone through to become so guarded?”

She swallowed the ache in her throat and smiled faintly.

“Doesn’t matter, Dad. I like who I am now. At least no one can fool me again.”

Her parents‘ eyes filled with sorrow. Her mother began to sob softly.

They had spoiled her since birth to shield her from pain, only to make her easy prey for Liam’s cruelty.

Ethan’s fists clenched at his sides. “Dad, Mom–this time, let Sophie handle it. She’s done nothing wrong. If people want to talk, let them. I believe she can face this.”
