In the three-story Chen family villa in Springfield.
Lucy Chen stood in her wedding gown, gently touching her prominently pregnant belly, her heart filled with happiness.
Today was her wedding day with Huo Ancen.
They had been together for six years, and she had become pregnant with his child earlier this year.
Now, they were finally tying the knot!
"Lucy, come out and explain things face to face!"
"Oh dear, she looks so innocent, how could she do such a thing?"
"What a misfortune for the family to have such a daughter!"
Lucy glanced at the time; it was the hour when the groom was supposed to pick up his bride.
However, the murmurs of the guests downstairs made her heart skip a beat.
Her heart trembled as she pulled her wedding dress and went to the first floor, where she saw scattered photos on the ground.
Upon seeing the images, her face turned pale—they were her own intimate photos!
The photos showed no man, only her!
These... were clearly from the night half a year ago when she and Huo Ancen had been intimate.
How could they be so exposed!
She stared blankly at Huo Ancen, who had just arrived, dressed in a suit, her voice trembling: "Ancen, whats going on?"
"Youve made a fool of me, and youre asking me whats going on!" The mans face was full of accusation as he pointed at her: "Lucy, youre such a disgrace!"
Lucy clenched her fists, her eyes red: "What are you talking about? It was the third day of March, and the person in the photo is clearly you and me..."
"Bullshit!" Huo Ancen shouted: "On the third day of March, I was in the eastern suburbs discussing business with a client, and Yinyin was with me. How could I have been with you!"
Lucy suddenly turned to her half-sister, Yinyin Chen.
Yinyin stepped forward quietly and said: "Indeed, I was with Ancen that night. He was in the eastern suburbs all night and never went to that hotel."
With a thunderous crash, Lucy staggered back.
If it wasnt Huo Ancen that night, then who was it!
"Lucy, youre so disgusting! You found a man outside and got pregnant with someone elses child! Our engagement is hereby canceled!"
Lucys mind was in a daze, and before she could react, she heard her fathers angry voice: "My daughters promiscuous lifestyle is a family misfortune!"
He then turned to Huo Ancen, cautiously saying: "Mr. Huo, dont be angry. From today on, Lucy is no longer a daughter of the Chen family! I will take her now and get rid of her illegitimate child!"
Lucy looked at her father in shock, only to see him coming towards her with a ferocious expression!
Her blood ran cold.
No, this was her child, already eight months old, and no one could just take him away!
Without thinking, she turned and ran!
"Catch her!" her father commanded coldly from behind.
Lucy, in a panic, saw the window open and jumped right out of it!
In a fleeting moment, she seemed to see Yinyin smiling triumphantly not far away.
In a flash of insight, she seemed to understand something.
But there was no time to think about it now!
Protecting her belly, she ran out of the villa and hailed a car.
As soon as she got in, she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen.
This was—
Time to give birth!
...
Six years later.
At the first ferry terminal in the capital.
Looking at the bustling terminal, Yinyin peeked inside, anxiously saying: "Why hasnt Dr. Katherine arrived yet?"
Beside her, Huo Ancen looked indifferent and leaned towards her, "I told you we didnt have to come so early. Whats the rush? We could be in the car instead..."
"Dont mess around!" Yinyin scolded immediately, "Ancen, I finally found out that Katherine will come today! Shes a world-renowned doctor! As long as we invite her to treat your uncles little young masters illness, then asking Mr. Huo for a profitable project will be a piece of cake. We must not miss this opportunity!"
Huo Ancen was Mr. Huos nephew, and Yinyin had known about and hooked up with him early on!
The "affair" of Lucy years ago was all her doing!
After all, the Huo family is the head of the four major families in the country!
Now, the current head of the Huo family, Mr. Huo, is such a person that everyone who has seen him must yield!
A man of Huo Ancens prominent status, why should he belong to Lucy!
"I know, I know!" Huo Ancen retreated awkwardly.
Since the Huo family changed its leader six years ago, his life has become increasingly difficult.
Thinking about asking that man, who is about his age, for money is just frustrating!
At this moment, there was a burst of exclamations from the surroundings, "What a beautiful woman, is she a movie star?"
The two turned to look.
A huge luxury cruise ship slowly docked at the terminal, and a gorgeous woman got off.
Beside her was a little cool guy wearing a leather jacket, hands in his jeans pockets.
The little guy wore a baseball cap backward and sunglasses so large that they almost covered his entire face.
"Mommy, is this your hometown?" The little one spoke up, her voice clear and crisp, indicating she was a little girl.
"Its your hometown too!" Lucy immediately gently gave the little one a peck on the cheek.
"Ouch!" the little one squealed and jumped aside, "Mommy, actions speak louder than words!"
Lucys lips curled, "Your mommy is a doctor, born to take action."
"..."
Darn it, mommy has shown off again!
Just then, a shrill voice from the distance broke the warm atmosphere.
"Lucy?!"
Lucy looked up, her face immediately darkening.
