Chapter 117 Faking Pregnancy and Miscarriage to Deceive Kelvin She had momentarily forgotten the man standing before her was none other than Kelvin. His keen observation of her behavior was enough to discern that something was not right. A person with nothing to conceal, brimming with confidence, would never display such a demeanor."Fiona Wright!" Kelvin's voice echoed chillingly through the room, "Do you have anything to say in response to what Penelope claims?""Mr. Davis, I-I-..." Fiona's voice wavered, betraying her nervousness."No response?"She made a feeble attempt to speak but struggled to find the right words, "Mr. Davis, she this, this... I, I... "Kelvin leaned in slightly, his gaze sharp as a blade, "Answer me!" His voice boomed, reverberating through the vastness of King Estate. Penelope, seizing the opportunity, added fuel to the fire, "Fiona, you can choose to stay silent, go straight to the hospital for a check-up. If it turns out I've been slandering you, the truth will cout with the results!""Shut up!" Fiona shrieked, "Penelope, you low-life scum!""It seems you're too scared to go forward."Penelope was certain of her victory. When she first heard the recording, she had been worried-what if she had misjudged and Fiona's remark about "a normal person" was merely casual talk? But now, backed into a corner with no way out, she had to take the risk. It was all or nothing!As it turned out, Penelope had bet correctly. She couldn't believe Fiona was audacious enough to fabricate a pregnancy and miscarriage to deceive Kelvin! It was akin to digging her own grave! Without a child, Fiona's status wouldn't be shaken; Kelvin was still good to her, giving her anything she asked for! With Penelope steadily uncovering the truth, Fiona had lost utterly. She conceded, collapsing on the carpet, murmuring, "Yes, yes, Mr. Davis, I wasn't pregnant... I never had a miscarriage..."Fiona had to admit it. Otherwise, a hospital visit would reveal her intact hymen and lead to bigger secrets! She couldn't let Kelvin find out that it was Penelope, not her, with him that night! Even if it enraged Kelvin to the point he never wanted to see her again, she wouldn't let Penelope win and live comfortably!A smirk crossed Penelope's face. Her laugh was light, tinged with relief, "Kelvin, did you hear that?" Listen, Fiona has confessed. She had succeeded. With such a fundamental mistake, Penelope was sure Fiona couldn't rise again! Penelope was set to keep the pressure on, showing no mercy, giving Fiona no chance of a comeback! "She had it all: your affection, your money, living in your luxurious mansion, sweet-talking about love and wanting to have your children. And then, what?" Penelope prodded Kelvin with a taunt, "She played you used your feelings for her and your hopes for a child to make a fool out of you."Penelope knew she was poking at the core of his male pride, which is why she didn't hold back. She wanted to stoke his anger to the maximum, to ensure that Fiona got what she deserved. "Shut up, just shut up!" Fiona yelled, "Stop talking, Penelope.""I'm only stating the truth, not a word of it is false.""You just wait!" Fiona seethed.Penelope nodded, "Sure, I'll wait... to see your downfall."She wasn't a saint. No bleeding heart either. Being merciful to Fiona was cruelty to herself. If she didn't put Fiona in her place today, tomorrow Fiona would strike with even more venomous schemes to ruin her completely!"Agh, I'll tear your mouth apart!" Fiona, scrambling to her feet and unsteady, lunged at Penelope, "You wretched woman, you've made my life a misery, and I'm going to take you down withtoday!"Her long, red fingernails reached out, aiming straight for Penelope's face. Penelope started to move back, ready to dodge. But before Fiona could get close, she stumbled and fell. Kelvin had moved faster, intervening. He yanked Fiona back and flung her aside like trash. "Fiona!" he barked, "How dare you make a scene here?"Scrambling to her feet, Fiona knelt at his feet: "Mr. Davis, I'm sorry; I was just blinded by the moment... I did everything because I loved you too much; please forgive me..."This time, Fiona was truly crying, weeping without any regard for her appearance."I didn't mean anything by it, just wanted more of your attention... Mr. Davis, you hardly ever have tfor me, it hurts. I just wanted you to lovemore, to spend twith me, which is why I cup with the fake pregnancy," she sobbed. She tried to grasp Kelvin's hand, "Everything I've done was out of love... I want to have your children, to spend a lifetwith you..."Kelvin recoiled in disgust, his face frosty with disdain. "So that's your excuse? Faking a pregnancy for me?""Yes, I had no ulterior motives. I meant no harm, Mr. Davis. Please forgivethis time... I won't dare do it again!"His voice was cold as he asked, "That night... when Penelope cto Riverside Apartments and saw us together, did anything actually happen?"Fiona stuttered, "You... you had a lot to drink, and then... then...""Did you or did you not?""No," Fiona confessed, unable to lie any longer, "You were drunk, and I helped you to bed. Then, I laid down beside you to sleep. Who knew... Penelope would show up out of the blue.""Why didn't you explain then?""Mr. Davis!" Fiona looked up at him, tears streaming down her face, "You promised you'd marry me, not Penelope. You were backed into a corner and had your own plans. It'syou want! So why does it matter if we slept together without doing anything? Why must that be explained?""Even if nothing happened, what about it? Did you have to tell Penelope? And if something did happen, that's just normal, right?"Kelvin gripped her shoulders tight. "Fiona, you've been playing games! Pretending we slept together, faking a pregnancy... you're too cunning!""Mr. Davis, the truth is... we have been intimate. Do you not remember that first night?""Enough!" Kelvin cut her off. "You claim you faked the pregnancy for my sake. Was the miscarriage also for me?"Fiona was at a loss for words."Or," he narrowed his eyes dangerously, "did you know that you couldn't have children and schemed this to free yourself and entrap Penelope, killing two birds with one stone?"Fiona's little schemes had been completely seen through her whole plan laid bare!
