Chapter 271 Go To Hell With Your Unborn Bastard

Sadie’s words carried far more weight this time, creating an even bigger uproar. The Sander and Hudson families were both established old-money families. For years, Anna had built a reputation as the epitome of grace and elegance, earning her a prominent spot among the social elite. Many wealthy women even used her as an example when teaching their daughters, urging them to learn from her. And now? Her image had crumbled entirely.

Anna had once stepped on my misfortunes to highlight her own generosity. Now, she would face backlash even more brutal than what I endured. The crowd erupted into chatter.

“There’s no way Ms. Sander would do something like this.”

“If she can cheat, what’s stopping her from doing anything else?”

“Those two slaps from Ashley were too light. If it were me, I’d have beaten her senseless.”

“This whole world is just a farce. It’s funny that a so-called socialite could stoop to such filth.”

“This is better than any drama—what a twist!”

While everyone gossiped, Luke looked visibly tense, terrified that he’d be dragged into the scandal. Years ago, he had left me humiliated at the altar, turning me into the subject of public ridicule. Perhaps now he finally understood how I had felt back then.

On the other hand, Anna was no longer as composed as she had been earlier. A clear flicker of panic shone in her eyes, a far cry from the composure she once held when tormenting me. She realized that Sadie wasn’t acting recklessly today; she had come fully prepared—just as she had always meticulously planned her attacks on me, leaving me no room to fight back.

The Hudsons no longer dared to dismiss Sadie’s claims. They hurriedly turned to her, asking, “Do you have proof? You can’t make such accusations without evidence. We’ve seen the medical reports.”

Sadie let out a soft laugh. “If she was determined to fool you, of course, she’d definitely forge a fake report. Mr. and Mrs. Hudson, take a look at this—this is the result from her first pregnancy test.”

That was something I had learned back when I was still in spirit form. The crowd glanced at the date, and it was clear what Sadie said was true—Anna hadn’t even met Ashley then. How could she possibly have been pregnant with his child?

Fiona’s face turned ashen. She had prided herself on her sharp judgment all her life, yet she had been utterly fooled by this woman.

Sadie flung the ultrasound report directly at Anna’s face. “Take a good look at this. What is it?”

Anna’s thick skin and nerves were nothing short of astounding. If I hadn’t arranged everything for Sadie beforehand, she might not have been able to handle this. Carter gave me a reassuring look. Our goal was to nail Anna to the wall of disgrace, leaving her no chance of escape.

In her rage, Sadie suddenly thought of the key witness. “Since you claim this report is fake, do you recognize this person?”

As a figure stepped out of the crowd, Anna’s expression underwent a dramatic change. She swayed on her feet, almost collapsing. The newcomer was none other than Dr. Monroe, the Bolton family’s private hospital physician who had issued Anna’s falsified report.

Back then, Anna had used her years of authority in the Bolton family to threaten and bribe the doctor into cooperating with her. Dr. Monroe had no choice—after all, everyone knew Anna’s status in Luke’s life at the time was even higher than mine, his fiancée. Who would dare cross her? Little did she know she was digging her own grave, jeopardizing her career in the process.

The crowd murmured in curiosity. “Who’s she?”

Sadie, clearly reveling in her moment of triumph, turned to Dr. Monroe. “Well, Dr. Monroe, will you speak for yourself, or shall I do it for you?”

Carter had already warned Dr. Monroe beforehand, leaving her no courage to twist the truth.

Under the crowd’s intense gaze, she slowly revealed the truth, word by word. “I’m a doctor at Lakeland Hospital. I’ve been the one overseeing Ms. Sander’s pregnancy.”

Ashley immediately asked, “So what’s the deal? How long has she been pregnant?”

Anna knew the moment Dr. Monroe appeared, her fate was sealed. Dr. Monroe spoke in a low voice, “It’s been three months.”

Ashley was furious, grabbing her by the collar. “Then why did you lie to me last time?”

“Mr. Bolton, please calm down. I didn’t mean to deceive you. Ms. Sander threatened me. She said she’d fire me if I didn’t do as she said. I couldn’t afford to lose such a well-paying, stable job, so I had no choice but to obey…”

Ashley shoved Dr. Monroe aside, and she hurriedly fled the scene in a panic. Her career was utterly ruined. No hospital would ever hire a doctor caught falsifying records.

Ashley took slow, deliberate steps toward Anna. “Do you have anything to say for yourself?”

With the evidence and witnesses against her, even Anna had no room to argue. She could only retreat step by step, stammering, “I… I…”

Smack! Ashley wasn’t one to hold back. He raised his hand and slapped her hard, sending her sprawling to the ground. “You wretched woman! How dare you lie to me?”

Triumphant, Sadie chimed in from the sidelines, “Beat her to death, that shameless woman!”

I looked at the smug expression on Sadie’s face and let out a cold, mocking smile. What a fool. Ashley had already shown his true colors, and she still clung to him. If he could hit Anna today for deceiving him, what made her think he wouldn’t strike Sadie in the future when her secrets were exposed? This boomerang would inevitably come back to hit her.

Oblivious to the danger, Sadie raised her leg and kicked Anna. “Weren’t you so smug before? Show me that smugness now! You dared to scheme against me? This is what you deserve!”

“I almost ended up in prison because of you, you vile woman. I’ll kick you to death!” Sadie’s ruthlessness knew no bounds. She aimed a vicious kick at Anna’s abdomen.

“Go to hell with your unborn bastard!”
