Chapter 111 Chloe was completely at a loss for words. Linda had Lisa backing her up. Everyone was pointing fingers, already pegging her as the one who pushed Linda.

Jacob and Leah rushed over when they heard the commotion. Jacob asked, "What's going on here?" Lisa jumped in with her well-rehearsed story. "Dad, for sreason, Chloe pushed Linda, and Linda's pregnant." Jacob's face darkened as he turned to stare at Linda. She was sobbing in Lucas' arms. This made Jacob even more troubled. Lucas, who was supposed to be Chloe's husband, was openly comforting another woman. This woman was also carrying Lucas' child.

Lucas was like a son to them, having grown up under their watchful eyes. They had assumed Linda was just a fleeting distraction for him. But now, things had spiraled out of control.

To make matters worse, the Moncada family had informed them that Chloe and Lucas had never legally married. Just days ago, Chloe had announced their breakup and even moved out of the Moncada family home. Perhaps Lucas had already secretly married Linda. And now, Linda had somehow becthe Meadows family's goddaughter.

Jacob felt a pang of guilt towards Chloe. But knowing Chloe's zero-tolerance for deceit, he couldn't completely dismiss the idea that she might have pushed Linda. Jacob had made up his mind. With the elite of Riverbrook in attendance, he couldn't let the Meadows family be humiliated.

So, Jacob stepped closer to Linda. In a cold, commanding voice, he asked, "Linda, are you sure Chloe pushed you on purpose, or was it just an accident?" Linda watched Jacob with wide, innocent eyes, her tears streaming down her face. She knew Jacob was trying to sweep things under the rug. In reality, Linda didn't want to blow things out of proportion and disgrace the Meadows family. After all she didn't want her newly acknowledged godparents to hate her.

Her real goal was to convince Lucas that Chloe had repeatedly tried to harm her unborn child, thereby snuffing out any lingering feelings Lucas might have for Chloe. Clearly, she had succeeded. Lucas' look towards Chloe was now filled with loathing and contempt, just like three years ago.

But Linda wasn't going to let this slide easily. Her tears fell like a broken string of pearls, followed by a moment of shock, then tox 121 understanding, disappointment, and endless grievance. Finally, as if making a tough decision, she choked out, "You're right. Chloe didn't do it on purpose. It was just an accident." Chloe took in every subtle

expression on Linda's face. Now, she truly understood how skilled Linda was at acting. Linda perfectly portrayed herself as someone om coerced into compromising, her face a mix of forced acceptance and grievance. She verbally claimed it wasn't Chloe's intention, but her expressions told a different story. They suggested she was pressured into downplaying the incident to preserve the Meadows family's dignity, willing to let bygones be bygones.

This made everyone present believe that Chloe did indeed push her. It showcased Linda's willingness to compromise, evoking sympathy and pity. Furthermore, it protected Jacob's dignity, showing her understanding of the bigger picture. Truly, a masterstroke.

Indeed, Linda's acting won everyone over. Jacob's expression softened towards Linda, even showing a hint of guilt. X
