Chapter 108 Whose child is it?
"Sir," Brandon said coldly. "If she's not willing to do the paternity test, what's the point of asking? I gave her a chance, but this is how she repays me. The child isn't even mine."
"What do we do now?" Elijah asked.
"The child must be aborted,"
Brandon sneered.
Seeing that Brandon had made up his mind, Elijah had no choice.
Actually, he understood Sir's suspicion. Any man would doubt at this time. Why wouldn't the young mistress want to do the test, even if it was a little risky... it was still a small probability event.
Victoria didn't dare to go home and went to the old house instead.
The old lady was happy to see Victoria.
"What's wrong? Did Brandon bully you?" She asked.
Victoria smiled awkwardly and shook her head. "No, we just had a misunderstanding. I missed you too. Can I stay here for a night?"
"Of course you can. You can stay here as long as you want," the old lady said happily.
Victoria breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, Diana walked in.
The old lady's face immediately stiffened.
"It's a pity that I'm really old now. Cats and dogs can come into the Duncan Family. This family is getting more and more impure."
Diana quickly said, "Grandma, that's not it..."
"Don't call me grandma."
"Well..." Diana lowered her head, "I just heard from Madam Duncan that your shoulder wasn't feeling well, and I thought, since I'm a medical student, I could give you a massage."
"Hmph, you don't need to flatter me."
Diana glanced jealously at Victoria, then said, "It's not flattery. You're about the same age as my grandma, and I can't go home right now. I just wanted to show my filial piety to you, just like I would to my grandma. Please let me do this for you."
She shamelessly leaned in and grabbed the old lady's arm.
"Alright, alright, don't grab me...you can massage me." The old lady frowned.
Diana smiled and quickly looked at Victoria. She then went around to the old lady's back and began massaging her.
Victoria watched from the side, and it was clear that Diana was doing a good job. After all, she was a professional, and the old lady looked like she was really enjoying it. Diana became even more pleased and said, "Grandma, your cervical vertebrae are still good. As long as you take good care of yourself, you won't have any pain in the future. I'm not busy anyway, so just call me if you're not feeling well and I'll come to give you a massage."
The old lady didn't say anything, but she didn't reject the offer either.
Diana became even happier and said, "Madam also said that when she first married into the family, you treated her very specially, and she has always remembered this and wanted to repay you."
One sentence made the old lady's face suddenly darken.
She suddenly stood up and turned around, saying, "Did she really say that?"
Diana was stunned, not knowing why the old lady suddenly seemed so agitated.
"Y-yes, she said that..." Old Madam Duncan sneered. "Good, good. You go back and tell her that I remember how she treated me all these years. We, as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, have been entangled with each other for a lifetime!"
Victoria couldn't help but find the conversation a bit strange. Diana was still standing there, and the old lady scolded her directly, "Why aren't you going to tell her?"
Diana immediately ran out in a hurry. Victoria couldn't help but secretly laugh at Diana's occasional stupidity despite her intelligence.
It was obvious that Lisa 's words were sarcastic. Victoria could tell that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had been at odds since Lisa married into the family. Lisa was complaining, but Diana thought she was expressing genuine admiration.
Diana couldn't calm down for a long time after leaving. She thought that by chatting with the old lady, she could get closer to her, but it seemed that she had messed up instead.
When she saw Lisa coming over, she looked guilty. Lisa asked, "What happened?"
Seeing Diana lower her head, Lisa became angry and demanded, "Speak up!"
Diana was scared and dared not hide anything. She quickly recounted what she had said to the old lady and what the old lady had asked her to convey.
Lisa 's face turned pale and then red. "You fool! Who do you think you are, trying to please that old hag? You're not Victoria, you don't have that ability, and besides, I have an unending feud with her. The whole Duncan Family knows that. Why are you jealous of Victoria and trying to climb higher?"
Diana was exposed and felt embarrassed. "I'm sorry, I didn't know you and the old lady had a bad relationship."
"Okay... By the way, why haven't you gone to find Brandon yet? It's not easy for you to be together once, you should seize the opportunity. There may not be such a good chance in the future." Diana was about to cry.
"That time, I used a trick... He didn't want to touch me at all, so I had to drug him... But now he must be very cautious and there won't be a second chance... Besides, he didn't touch me that time, so he probably doesn't remember anything about me..."
"What did you say? He didn't touch you?" Lisa was surprised.
Diana blushed and lowered her head. "He fainted and couldn't wake up, so I couldn't do anything..."
Lisa was furious. "You... You're really something."
She walked away angrily, leaving Diana standing there, biting her lip and feeling extremely frustrated.
But at that moment...
"So Brandon didn't touch you that day."
Victoria's voice came from behind, and Diana felt like she was in hell. Looking at Victoria walking towards her, she was furious. "You, you eavesdropped on our conversation."
"I just happened to pass by and didn't expect to hear so many secrets. Maybe it's fate. Fate made someone like you, who does bad things, have no good luck."
Diana's face changed. But then she saw Victoria's gaze fall on her belly. "Diana, I've always been curious. If you were pregnant around the same time as me, even if it was a little later, you should have started showing, but your belly looks very flat."
Diana raised her eyebrows in surprise. Victoria continued, "That day, I remember seeing you with a man at the mall… Could it be that your child is not Brandon's at all?"
"You're talking nonsense!" Diana interrupted her eagerly, but her guilty expression almost confirmed Victoria's suspicion.
Diana gritted her teeth and looked at Victoria, who was so sure of herself. Why was Victoria so lucky to have Brandon treat her so well and be so loved by the old lady, while Diana had to be so careful with every step she took and still had to rely on others' approval?
Thinking of Lisa 's attitude towards her just now, she felt even more unfair.
Suddenly, she looked at Victoria in front of her and asked, "Victoria, are you trying to tell Brandon about this?"
