Megan instantly got upset, “She couldn’t be more grateful for getting pregnant with Heriberto’s baby. Once the child was born, she was treated like royalty, endless benefits. Where did she feel wronged? She should thank me properly.”

“So you just let Heriberto keep wondering, without exining to him?”

“You don’t have to worry about that, I already told Heriberto. Just take some more blood when Iris goes for her 12–week prenatal check–up to do a paternity test. With the paternity test report, Heriberto won’t doubt anymore.”

Megan sounded cheerful and confident, like she had everything under control.

At the staircase, Iris heard it, her eyes lit up, and she grabbed the handrail to continue walking downstairs.

Why did Heriberto suddenly change his attitude and agree to let her stay at the Hale’s mansion? It turns out he was waiting for her to have a paternity test done after three months…

If the test results show that the child is his, then not only Megan, but also Heriberto will keep her child and then give it to Mnie.

If the test results show it’s not his, then Heriberto would probably hate her guts, and immediately sign the divorce papers.

Suddenly, Iris had a light bulb moment in her head, came up with an idea.

Chapter50

Danica was busy for half a month, and finally managed to secure a three billion investment.

She called Iris and Nathaniel to celebrate her sessful investment pitch, and invited them to dinner.

At around five o’clock in the afternoon, Iris was getting ready to go out when she was stopped by Megan who had juste back as she was about to leave.

“Iris, I heard you’re going out?” Megan asked her.

“Yeah, Megan, I made ns to have dinner with friends tonight.” Iris said.

She had already told the butler that she wouldn’t be home for dinner tonight.

“Push it.” Megan didn’t even discuss, just ordered, “There’s an

important guestingter, Charlie’s not home, you’ll apany me to entertain.”

Iris wanted to refuse, but outside the door, she heard the sound of a car engine.

Megan heard, with a smile on her face, she immediately went out to greet.

Iris hesitated for a moment, but then decided to go out with them.

The car quickly drove up and stopped in front of the main building. The door opened, and a graceful figure stepped out of ti. car.

She was Katrina Powell, the youngest daughter of the Powell family from Beachbourne

OF 20

Over the years, the Powell family has done well, on par with the Hale family. Katrina is the apple of the Powell family’s eye, and has openly stated that half of the Powell family’s assets will be given to Katrina as a dowry.

In other words, whoever married Katrina, married half of the Powell family.

So, before Julian got into trouble, Megan had already set Katrina as her daughter–inw.

The news of the two families’s alliance was just waiting for the official

announcement.

But unexpectedly, Julian suddenly had an ident and left for good.

I guess Katrina must have liked Julian too, after all, they were a perfect match, both talented and good–looking.

Otherwise, howe it’s been five years and we still haven’t heard any news about Katrina having a boyfriend or getting married.

Actually, after Julian got into trouble, Megan was intentionally trying to get Heriberto to marry Katrina.

But Eleanor didn’t agree, the always peaceful Eleanor suddenly insisted that Heriberto marry Iris.

Although Megan is strong–willed, she couldn’t do anything when faced with Eleanor’s rudeness, so she had topromise for the time being.

Because Heriberto married Iris, Katrina seemed to have lost touch with the Hale family for the past three years. Why are they suddenly in touch again now?

“Katrina.”

Seeing Katrina getting off the car, Megan greeted her with a big smile, excitedly grabbing her hand as if she was weing back her own daughter.

“Madam Hale,” Katrina also shook Megan’s hand, calling her gently and respectfully.

“Hey!” Megan was so excited, probably thinking of herte son Julian, tears welled up in her eyes, “You finally came to see me.”

“Madam Hale,” Katrina hugged Megan, patting her back gently, “I’m sorry, I’ll make sure toe visit you more often in the future.”

“Okay, okay, okay,” Megan nodded eagerly, “Quick, follow me into the house.”

She said, pulling Katrina and walking into the house.

Iris stood at the door, watching them approach, smiling and saying, “Ms. Powell.”

“This is…” Katrina nced up and down at Iris, “Iris, right?”

She has seen Iris, more than once.

The first time was at Julian’s funeral, when Iris was so sad she almost passed out.

I thought Iris was going to marry Julian.
