Agatha grabbed the report from his hands.
“This can’t be true!“}
“You made this fake diagnosis to cause trouble between us!“}
“Take her down!” Agatha shouted.}
The men in black still didn’t move. Agatha, growing desperate, raised the signet ring. “I command you with the Woodward Family’s signet. Arrest Elizabeth and Thomas!“}
My brother trembled in my arms.
I hugged him tightly and whispered, “Thomas, don’t be afraid. No one can hurt you anymore.“}
I looked up at Agatha, telling her, “You don’t really think controlling the Woodward Family depends on this little ring, do you?“}
“Is this signet ring like the English royal seal? Whoever has it controls the world?“>
“If that were true, any thief who steals it become the most powerful person?“}
Agatha was starting to panic. “I have the Woodward Family’s signet ring! I am the new leader of the Woodward Family!“}
I gave a signal and the guards around me moved. They quickly knocked down Agatha’s bodyguards and took the Woodward Family’s signet ring from her.
“Now, the Woodward Family’s signet ring is in my hands,” I said.”
Agatha’s anger made her shake with fury. “I clearly got the Woodward Family’s signet ring. Why didn’t you follow my orders?“}
“You’re so naive. We, the Woodward Family, never recognize dead objects.“}
“What do you mean?“}
“Since my brother and I were born, photos of us at every stage have been sent to the headquarters. Everyone in the Woodward Corporation knows my face.“}
“The Woodward Family’s signet ring is just a tool. I am the symbol of power in the Woodward Corporation.“}
“You really think that in front of the ruler and the signet ring, the higher–ups will ignore the ruler’s words and listen to someone holding a signet ring?”
Agatha gasped.
“You … you!”
She suddenly grinned and held her stomach. “My stomach hurts! Husband, save our child!“}
Richard quickly hugged her. “Elizabeth, let your people go. I want to send your mother to the hospital!“}
“No one can leave today. Stop calling her my mother. She’s dead! Agatha is the real bitch!“}
“If your aunt’s baby is really three years old, then you don’t think she’s pregnant with your child. You have no fertility. She’s carrying another man’s child!”
“Hmph, don’t think I’ll be fooled by your fake diagnosis,” I said coldly. “Agatha, you’re already eight months pregnant. The baby has been stable for a while. It won’t miscarry from a little stress.”
“And old man, you were in a car accident. You lost your fertility then. My mother hid it from the family so you wouldn’t be upset.“> Richard’s face grew pale. “I believe Agatha won’t let me down. This child must be mine.“}
“Okay, you won’t believe it until it’s too late,” I said, reaching for another envelope. I tossed it to Richard. “Look for yourself.”
Richard opened the envelope and a stack of photos fell out–explicit pictures of Agatha with different men in bed.
“Agatha, didn’t you say my father was the only man? Then explain this!“}
Agatha’s eyes nearly popped out. She grabbed Richard’s arm. “Don’t look at it, it’s not true! It’s not true!“}
Richard, shaking, stared at Agatha. He threw the photos in her face. “Explain this to me! What’s going on?”
“It’s not me in those photos. They’re photoshopped!”
Richard could barely stand. He looked at me.”
Eventually, he then said, “You took these photos, didn’t you? I don’t believe it. Agatha would never betray me.“”
Agatha secretly sighed in relief and began to fake crying as she said, “Elizabeth has made up such a huge lie. I can’t clear my name even if I jump into the Yellow River. I can’t live with this shame!”
Richard quickly embraced Agatha, telling her, “Agatha, I believe you. You’re not that kind of person.““>
I shook my head./
“Dad, you’re really confused. Why don’t you go to a public hospital for a check–up and a paternity test? Let’s see if Agatha’s baby is really yours. I can’t fake that.“!
Agatha held Richard tightly as she said, ‘Richard, you must believe me. Don’t let her provoke you.“N
“If you have nothing to hide, why are you so afraid of a paternity test?” I asked.

“How about we make a bet?” I asked.”
