Lucas‘ rage vanished instantly, replaced by clear panic.

“I–It wasn’t a video. I was watching a sports match,” he stammered clumsily.

“I see,” Riley replied flatly, revealing no hint of her true thoughts.

Unable to keep dwelling on the awkward topic, Lucas quickly changed tactics, softening his tone. “Grandpa cares deeply about our relationship. If you keep leaving without a word like this… what will he think of us?”

“Is that so?” Riley said indifferently, hanging up the call without another word.

Lucas stared at his phone screen, veins bulging with rage, yet he could do nothing to retaliate.

Back at Sebastian’s villa, Riley tossed her phone onto the bed with a sigh of irritation, rubbing her throbbing temples.

Moments later, her phone vibrated again–this time it was Caleb calling.

She smoothed her expression into calm composure before answering.

“Riley, why weren’t you home last night? Lucas said you went back to Louvian Port for belongings. What could be so important that you had to go in the middle of the night?” Caleb’s tone sounded concerned on the surface, yet held an obvious edge of interrogation.

Riley knew Caleb would call.

Her sudden departure wounded his pride and challenged his strict household rules.

She replied softly, feigning gentle remorse, “Grandpa, I suddenly remembered I’d left important work documents at my Louvian Port villa last night. I needed them first thing this morning, so I went to fetch them overnight.”

“Forget it,” Caleb sighed, his tone easing slightly. Then he said, “Don’t head straight back to the Ashford Group today. Come with me to meet a few old friends.”

Riley knew this outing was just a pretext for Caleb to subtly lecture her.

“Alright, Grandpa. I’ll be ready in a moment,” Riley agreed meekly.

By the time she arrived at Ashford Manor, Caleb was already waiting in the living room.

“Let’s go.” He offered no further explanation, simply standing up and walking out the door.

Silently, Riley followed him into the waiting Ashford family car.

She had assumed Caleb would take her to a golf course or an exclusive private club to meet these so–called friends. He would probably criticize me subtly in their presence, offering a lesson disguised as casual conversation.

However, the car drove past all those opulent venues, eventually pulling up before a traditional medicine clinic that clearly had seen better years.

A flicker of surprise crossed Riley’s heart.

A clinic?

Why does Caleb bring me here?

Caleb stepped out first, walking into the clinic with steady, purposeful strides.

Suppressing her confusion, Riley followed him inside.

Caleb was evidently a regular. A middle–aged man in a white physician’s coat emerged from behind a folding screen. Upon seeing Caleb, he immediately stepped forward with a respectful bow.

“Mr. Ashford, you’ve arrived,” the doctor said with a polite smile.

“Mm, Barry,” Caleb nodded, gesturing toward Riley. “Brought my granddaughter–in–law today for a check–up.”

“Granddaughter–in–law?” Barry Allen shot Riley a surprised glance before quickly reverting to his professional demeanor. “Please, take a seat. Let me have a look.”

Riley followed the gesture and sat down on the pristine examination chair.

Throughout the process, her expression remained calm, betraying not a hint of nervousness or anxiety.

Barry conducted a standard physical examination and inquiry with focused, rigorous precision.

Opposite him, Caleb sat with his eyes fixed intently on the doctor’s face.

His agenda for bringing Riley here was crystal clear.

He needed to verify if Riley was truly incapable of conceiving.

The continuation of the Ashford family line had always been a heavy weight on his mind. In
