Chapter 250: It’s Either Me or Her
If the Johnson Family truly conducts a thorough investigation, especially with Mr. Johnson taking charge, the trail will undoubtedly lead back to her.
However, Selene Wilson genuinely hadn’t expected things to escalate this way in the end.
She picked up her phone and sent a message to Lucas Hughes on WeChat.
[Lucas, isn’t Chloe Simpson supposed to be pregnant? How dare you mess with me like this, and mess with the Johnson Family! That’s Kyohai’s top elite family—what can’t they uncover?]
[The little bit of cleverness you think you have might fool others, but in front of someone like Mr. Johnson, that’s like waving a sword in front of a master swordsman. You’re looking to die! Let me tell you, the Johnson Family already knows Chloe isn’t pregnant and they’re actively investigating.]
[It’s likely they’ll trace this back to you, or maybe to me. If nothing comes of it, fine—but if something does, I swear I’ll make you pay dearly for it!]
Lucas Hughes, on his end, was just waiting to receive the final payment from Selene. When he saw the series of messages, his hand shook so badly that his phone almost fell to the ground.
He quickly replied: [Miss Wilson, didn’t we discuss this matter earlier? You agreed to my proposal back then, and besides, I said from the start that I couldn’t guarantee the pregnancy issue 100%.]
[You need to understand, pregnancy—while simple in theory—is complicated in practice. A sperm has to meet an egg, and there are obstructions at every stage. You rushed me so much that I had to come up with this compromise.]
[But rest assured, this small matter of pregnancy, even if investigated, won’t lead back to you. Not only to you—it won’t lead back to me either. Misdiagnoses on pregnancy issues are incredibly common.]
[In fact, just the other day, I gave Chloe something to swallow. Rest assured—by the time the Johnson Family investigates, they’ll only conclude that it was an error made by the hospital.]
Selene, upon reading Lucas’s messages, finally let out a discreet sigh of relief: [Fine, Lucas, it better be as you claim, or I’ll make sure you suffer the consequences!]
