The Hidden Empress Stripping Her Secrets After Divorce novel Chapter 202

Lyra's mother's eyes lit up. "This version is wonderful! That way, Lyra isn't the other woman, but a strong mother who held out for love!"

"Exactly," Lawrence nodded. "As for those photos of Ms. Langford abroad... we can say she was forced into those situations to survive. Your family faced a financial crisis back then, and as a single mother trying to support her child, she had to attend certain events, but kept her integrity."

Her father immediately chimed in. "Yes, yes, it's mostly our fault! When the company ran into trouble and almost went bankrupt, Lyra only did those things to help the family... Sigh, we dragged the poor girl down!"

He wiped the corner of his eye, putting on a show of deep remorse.

Lyra lowered her head, her fingers tightly gripping the bedsheets, her shoulders trembling slightly—from an outsider's perspective, it looked like she was crying. In reality, a flicker of irrepressible triumph flashed in her downcast eyes.

It worked.

The Lancaster family was going to accept her. Not only accept her, but elevate her as an inspiring female lead.

She fought to suppress the corners of her mouth from turning up. When she raised her head, her eyes were brimming with tears. "Mr. Lancaster, thank you for being so understanding... but I really don't want to cause trouble for Christian. If... if this will tarnish your family's reputation, I can leave with Leo and never come back..."

"Leave?" Lawrence shook his head. "If you leave now, the outside world will only say the Lancasters are irresponsible for driving away a pregnant, defenseless woman. Ms. Langford, since you are carrying Christian's child, you are a part of our family."

He looked at Christian. "Christian, what do you say?"

Everyone's eyes converged on Christian.
