Chapter 201

"My sister killed my baby!"

Nicole Capra sobbed dramatically, expecting to provoke Alexander Grant's fury. Instead, his gaze remained tender when he looked at Susan Thompson, but turned icy with disdain when it landed on her.

"A homewrecker dares to speak of children?" Alexander's lips curled into a mocking smile, his godlike features radiating contempt. "Nicole, even if Susan did it, you got what you deserved."

"Alexander!" Nicole paled, too afraid to retaliate, so she played the victim. "Andrew and I truly love each other. It's my sister who—"

"Pathetic." Alexander cut her off with a cold laugh. "True love with a married man? Your audacity is astounding."

"Pfft—" Patrick Pope couldn't suppress a chuckle. The usually reserved heir was lethally sarcastic when provoked.

"How shameless! She seduced a married man!"

"Pure Jade Maiden? More like a scheming homewrecker!"

"Poor Susan, her marriage ruined by someone like this."

"Susan seems happier now. Look how Alexander dotes on her!"

Whispers erupted around them, making Nicole's face alternate between red and white.

Alexander suddenly leaned in, his voice a venomous whisper. "I heard Andrew was blackout drunk that night. How exactly did you get pregnant?"

Without waiting for a response, he grabbed Susan's hand and walked away.

"Don't forget our date tonight." He gave her hand a gentle squeeze before leaving.

Susan focused on the makeup artist, ignoring the burning stares behind her.

Nicole chased after Andrew Lucas, tears streaming down her face. "Andrew, you have to believe me! The baby was yours!"

Andrew nodded absently. "Yeah, I believe you."

"But Alexander called me a homewrecker..." she probed.

Andrew fell silent. For the first time, he questioned whether his revenge against Susan had been justified.

Then Nicole's phone rang. After the call, her eyes gleamed with triumph, though her expression remained pitiful. "Andrew, Jenny found out... Susan leaked the video to the media!"

"What?" Andrew frowned.

"Why would she do this to me?" Nicole burst into fresh tears. "If not for my kidney donation scar, my reputation would be ruined!"

Andrew immediately ordered Leo Miller to investigate. The IP address traced back to Susan's apartment.

His fists clenched, torn between rage and guilt. In the end, he only instructed Leo to suppress the news, forbidding any further investigation.

As night fell, Andrew stood outside Susan's apartment, ringing the doorbell repeatedly with no answer.

Then he remembered—she had a date with Alexander.

His eyes darkened.

A candlelit dinner? He'd make sure she didn't enjoy it under his watch.
