She stared atfor a long while. She couldn’t understand why | had suddenly becso bold. It was completely out of character for me.

I ignored her, and pushed past her into the living room.

In the living room, the so-called father of Stephany was sitting on the couch, looking imposing.

Upon seeing me, he pretended to be welcoming. “Stephie is here. Come, have a seat. You're now a great contributor to the Lincoln family, so take care of your unborn child.” | smiled, looking at the so-called father. “Dad, you're right. The child I'm carrying is the only heir of the Lincoln family. Once born, they will be the future head of the Lincoln family.” John glanced atcarefully and spoke lightly, “It seems you've figured things out?” I remained silent, and waited for him to continue.

“Dad!” Ann burst in, seeming to have processed the fact that | had slapped her, and exclaimed, “Dad, she slapped me!” “Can’t you see that Dad and | are discussing important matters? You don’t have manners, don’t have the demeanor of a lady. Get out!” | scolded Ann unhappily.

Ann reluctantly left, but before she did, she gavea fierce glare. “You're just arrogant, marrying at dimwit.” | remained silent. | leaned on the couch and looked at John.

Don’t forget, your Grandma still relies on the Larson family for her treatment. Can the Lincoln family afford to neglect an insignificant old lady?” | was stunned for a moment. John finally revealed his leverage. But this grandmother...

| rubbed my temples. Grandmother? Wasn't she the grandmother who raised Stephany after she was taken in by mistake? But shouldn't she be Ann's real grandmother? Ann really was a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
