The family doctor was shoved aside, nearly stumbling.

David scowled, “What? The family doctor is right here. Let him check first.”

“No way!” Lin Feng defensively shielded Olivia behind him. “I don’t trust your Quinn Family.”

David let out a laugh of disbelief, “You don’t trust my Quinn Family?”

He stepped forward. “Lin Feng, if I find out you’re up to something, I’ll make sure you know what happens when you anger the Quinn Family!”

David grabbed the family doctor and pushed him toward Lin Feng. “Check her! I want to see what tricks the james Family is playing!”

Lin Feng’s heart sank.

It’s over.

The family doctor signaled the bodyguards to carry Olivia to the living room, where he immediately began his examination.

Olivia looked anxiously at Brian, “Did I have a miscarriage? Our baby... oh my...”

Brian remained expressionless, and his brows furrowed as if deep in thought.

After the examination, the doctor went straight to David. “Miss. James is on her period.”

“That’s ridiculous!” Olivia panicked, touching her lower abdomen and clutching her wedding dress.

She looked desperately at the silent Brian. “Brian, I had a miscarriage, our baby—”

“Miss. James!” the family doctor interrupted her. “You weren’t pregnant; it’s just your period.”

“No, that’s not possible—I...” Olivia suddenly stood up. “How could I not be pregnant? I went to the hospital, and they confirmed it!”

Olivia kept insisting, continuously claiming that she was pregnant.

But the guests weren’t fools.

In her panic, she spun around, accidentally revealing the blood-stained wedding dress.

Now, everyone could see it.

The crowd exchanged glances, all turning their eyes toward Brian.

“That’s enough!” David suddenly shouted. “Everyone, please go rest. Tonight’s stuff is over.”

Lin Feng, pale-faced, called out, “David.”

“Get out!” David instructed the butler, “Take everyone home!”

The butler didn’t dare speak and could only escort the guests out.

Once all the guests had left, only the Quinn Family and james Family remained.

The eight sat in the living room, the vibe deathly still.

Lin Feng broke the silence, looking at Brian, “What do you want?”

Lin Feng saw clearly that the only one who took advantage was Brian.

David’s inauguration speech was ruined, the james Family lost dignity, and the engagement would likely be postponed.

However, Brian gained a 5% stake in the project and became a sympathetic figure in the eyes of others.

If he advanced, he could manipulate both the james Family and Quinn Family.

After all, marriages like this were nothing more than transactions, with the strong prevailing.

If he retreated, he could use people’s sympathy to further his own plans.

Lin Feng even suspected that the entire situation was orchestrated by Brian.

But he had no evidence.

Brian looked at Lin Feng, “What?”

His demeanor had turned cold.

“What else? Since the engagement is set, the next step is to prepare for the wedding!”

Before Lin Feng could respond, Chloe spoke coldly, “My daughter cannot be ruined!”

“Shut up!” Mrs Quinn sneered, “Your daughter is a slut, making such a spectacle, and you still think she can marry into the Quinn Family? You wish!”

She glared at Olivia. “Since you act all sweet and innocent in front of me, but it turns out you’re nothing but a disguised bitch!

“Your james Family really knows how to raise its children!”

Olivia’s chest heaved with anger, her face pale as she struggled to find words.

She looked at Brian.

Brian sat there quietly, his expression cold, his eyes devoid of emotion as if she were a mere object.

Olivia let out a bitter laugh, “Brian, was this all your doing tonight?”

“You think too much,” Brian replied indifferently.

“Huh,” Olivia laughed bitterly, “Without your permission, could Spencer have come in? That note in her hand, wasn’t it written by you?”

As he spoke, the james Family members suddenly realized and looked at Brian.

That’s right!

Spencer’s entry was entirely orchestrated by Brian!

Looking back on the night, Brian had remained calm and silent, rarely speaking. Even though he was present, it seemed as if he had perfectly blended into the background.

Lin Feng looked at Brian in shock.

Could he have predicted everyone’s reactions?

Even without saying a word, he could steer everything in the direction he wanted?!

What a terrifying man!

Cold sweat began to drip down Lin Feng’s back as he thought about the resources Brian had taken, the 5% stake he signed for tonight, and...

The sweat rolled down his jaw, dripping onto his leg.

Brian leisurely poured himself a cup of tea and looked at Olivia. “What benefit would I get from destroying you?”

Olivia calmed herself.

She was also puzzled by this.

If tonight’s incident blew up, he would be a cuckold, and the Quinn Family would be blamed for their poor judgment.

He wouldn’t ruin the Quinn Family’s reputation just for a girl, right?!

Unable to figure it out, Olivia turned to David. “Uncle, although the engagement banquet had some hiccups, the marriage between our families remains.

“The james Family will continue to investigate this matter, and I hope the Quinn Family won’t shirk responsibility and will give us an answer soon!”

“An answer? What answer!” Mrs Quinn scowled, “You slept around, then pretended to be pregnant to deceive us into giving you a dowry. What a vicious scheme!

“And now you demand an answer from us? You’re so disgusting!”

Mrs Quinn had already been dissatisfied with Olivia because of a previous incident.

Seizing the opportunity, she harshly scolded Olivia.

The james Family became angry.

Andrew’s face turned red with fury as he looked at Brian. “Say something!”

Brian looked at him, “What do you expect me to say?”

“You!”

Seeing that Mrs Quinn had finished her tirade, Brian finally stood up, his gaze falling on Olivia.

“We will have further investigation, but Olivia’s reputation is already damaged.

“If the james Family can’t bear this humiliation, neither can the Quinn Family.”

Lin Feng’s heart raced with anxiety.

Brian continued, “Whether the marriage proceeds needs further discussion, but there’s no point in continuing this conversation tonight.”

“Brian!” Olivia stood up in anger. “Is this how you’re going to treat me? After all, I’m your—”

“I don’t care.” Brian looked at her coldly. “Marriage alliances are about matching social status and mutual benefits.

“The james Family is not equal to the Quinn Family. And as of tonight, you’ve lost your value.”

In other words: She’s not worthy.

Olivia trembled. She couldn’t say anything.

Chloe clutched her chest and leaned on Lin Feng’s shoulder, “Oh, my poor daughter, how did she end up with a family like this...”

Lin Feng’s face was also grim, but he clenched his fists tightly, saying nothing.

As the head of the family, his wife and daughter could vent their emotions, but he couldn’t.

One wrong word, and it would become a weapon against them...
