Chapter 339 Chapter 339 You married me with a wild child.
Myrtle Stevens was completely out of her mind. Instinctively, she lunged for the appraisal report, shouting, "Caelan! Don't believe her! It's not like that! She's lying!"
Caelan Cooper, however, decisively took the report away, coldly saying, "If she's lying, why are you so nervous?"
Myrtle trembled all over. "I... I... I'm afraid you won't believe me..."
Caelan looked deeply into her eyes. "Then do something that will make me believe you!"
He opened the report and read the small print: "Supports the biological relationship between both parties."
Suddenly, everything went dark for him. He threw the report down in front of Myrtle and said, "What about this? How do you explain this? You were insulted, got pregnant, and came to deceive me into marrying you with another man's child?"
Myrtle turned her gaze away from the paper, panicking as she shouted, "It's not like that, Caelan! I... I didn't know! I thought the child was yours. We were in love, weren't we? I thought it was yours! That's why I…"
Davina Evans chimed in from the side, "Caelan, you have to believe Myrtle! She’s really been framed. If she had an affair, how could there be a recording?"
She glared at Eileen Stevens and said, "Eileen, do you have to push Myrtle to her death? Can’t you give her a way out?"
Eileen Stevens smiled faintly, speaking each word deliberately, "No way."
"She provoked me and splashed dirt on my name, and now she wants a way out?"
Eileen leaned slightly, looking at Myrtle's tear-streaked face, and sighed softly, "It's too late! After today, whether you live or die, you brought it upon yourself!"
Just then, Eileen's phone buzzed. She pulled it out, glanced at WeChat, and smiled.
Looking at everyone, she said, "The lies are almost done, and just in time, I have all the evidence I need. So, what's the truth? Are you going to say it, or should I?"
Myrtle shook her head frantically. "What truth? You just want to harm me! Eileen Stevens, get out! Get out!"
Eileen Stevens pushed her away and said, "Let me put it this way. If I'm not mistaken, three months ago, Myrtle Stevens was indeed pregnant with Caelan Cooper's child, right?"
Myrtle Stevens' eyes filled with pain, while Caelan Cooper suddenly looked up, shocked. "What did you say?"
Eileen handed her phone to Caelan and continued, "I had someone look into it. Myrtle didn't even know she was pregnant and ended up having a miscarriage a month later. Here are the surgical records from her clinic in the west side of town."
Eileen turned to Myrtle and said, "Then, in order to marry into the Cooper family and secure her position as Mrs. Cooper, you came up with this scheme."
"You bought fertility drugs from a private hospital, possibly hoping for a boy, and then found a male escort at 'Drunken Dreams' to force a pregnancy before your body had even recovered. Am I wrong?"
Myrtle's lips trembled. "You're talking nonsense... If that were true, why wouldn't I just ask Caelan for a child? Why would I need someone else? I..."
"Because you had just miscarried, and Caelan would definitely notice something was off with your body. Plus, he’s busy with work and wouldn’t have time to help you conceive, but you desperately needed that child."
Eileen looked at Caelan and said, "During the time before her pregnancy, didn’t she find excuses to avoid you? Like the 12th... the 17th... the 28th?"
Caelan suddenly turned to Myrtle, as if remembering something. "So when you told me you were feeling unwell, you were actually with another man..."
Eileen continued, "You told Caelan you were a month pregnant when you had just conceived, which is why you didn’t dare let him accompany you to the check-up. You were afraid he’d catch on, right?"
"And then, once you were actually pregnant, you arranged for a doctor, and Caelan was overjoyed thinking you were two months along, until the miscarriage happened."
Eileen smiled slightly and said, "Very clever. To avoid being found out, you paid the doctor in cash instead of through a bank transfer, which made it hard for me to trace."
As the story unfolded, Mrs. Cooper was left in shock. No matter how hard she tried to think, she could never have imagined Myrtle would do something like this!
Caelan Cooper, however, looked utterly defeated and asked, "What else do you have to say?"
Myrtle opened her mouth, gripping Caelan's pant leg, but no words came out. She could only cry softly, mumbling, "Caelan, I love you... I really love you..."
Caelan Cooper forcefully pushed her away, raising his hand as if to slap her, but when he saw her pale, fragile face, he ultimately held back.
With red eyes, he shouted, "You love me? You say you love me, yet you sleep with other men! You claim to love me while carrying another man's child and planning to marry me! Myrtle Stevens, it’s not that I don’t want to marry you. I’ve said it so many times—we will get married! Why are you doing this?"
Myrtle Stevens felt her entire plan unraveling and, for the first time, she shouted back at Caelan.
"You want to marry me? But your mother doesn’t approve! What do you have to offer me? If I don’t do this, when will I ever marry you? Do you know how others see me? I’m just a burden to the Cooper family!"
She turned to Eileen Stevens, yelling, "It’s all your fault! You’re the one trying to win over his mother, which is why she looks down on me! If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have to degrade myself like this!"
Eileen Stevens replied coldly, "Myrtle Stevens, the man was taken from me by you. You’re the one who desperately wanted to marry him. What’s happened now is not my fault."
Myrtle broke down in tears, "You’re talking nonsense! I lost my first child because of you! You pushed me, and that’s why I fell! How was I supposed to know I was pregnant?"
She sobbed, "If I had known I was carrying Caelan’s child, how could I have argued with you?"
But there were no "ifs." From a young age, she had been used to stepping on Eileen, scolding her, and even resorting to violence when they argued.
This time, however, she had carelessly provoked Eileen and lost her child in the process.
One misstep led to another, and now here they were.
Eileen turned to Finlay Stevens and asked coldly, "So, do you still want the shares I hold? For whom? For her child with that male escort?"
Finlay was left speechless. He had doted on Myrtle for over twenty years, and even now, he couldn’t bring himself to say a harsh word to reprimand her.
Mrs. Cooper stood up and said, "Aren't you leaving yet? Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough?"
Her hands trembled slightly as she continued, "I’ve told you countless times that Myrtle Stevens is restless. I warned you not to marry her, but you insisted! Now look at the chaos in our home—this is all your doing!"
Caelan Cooper didn’t dare to argue. His gaze fell on the computer screen, where the girl he had loved for years was lying beneath another man, a sight that was both blinding and mocking.
He opened his mouth, his voice barely above a whisper. "We’ve been married, so I’ll spare you the embarrassment. I won’t make a scene about this..."
"Myrtle Stevens, let’s... get a divorce."
