Super Mommy and Her Triplets

So this is why they've come. Ha! They've finally shown their true colors. Juliana sneered. An amniotic fluid test? How vicious.

Juliana's pregnancy was an unstable one. If she were to do an amniotic fluid test, even if it really turned out to be Huntley's baby, the baby would be in mortal danger.

If it was not Huntley's baby, then things would be even worse.

They could take the opportunity to kick her out of the Hoffman family.

Her father only had two daughters, and her elder sister, Wendy, had already lost her right to inherit the title. If something were to happen to her—if she were to be kicked out of the family—the illegitimate child of the family, Philip, would be able to climb to the top.

After all, Philip was her father's half-brother, and Philip's son was her father's nephew. No one would be able to oppose if Philip's son became the heir to the family.

All of a sudden, there was a weight on her shoulder.

Juliana instinctively turned and saw that Huntley had a hand on her shoulder, silently offering her consolation.

She lifted her head to glance at him, hinting to him that she was fine.

“Uncle Raymond, why are you hesitating? I heard that Juliana was in love with a man when she was in Chanaea and that the man is no ordinary person—he's the head of the Shurmer family, Zeke Shurmer. If she had slept with him and has his child in her, then you would be inviting trouble by handing all power over the family to her. Zeke's an ambitious man—he'll take the opportunity to devour the Hoffman family whole.”

Right as those words were out of his mouth, Juliana and Huntley's expressions darkened.

They thought that Philip's son was a scion who knew nothing but entertainment, but it seemed like he was a crafty one.

He had managed to pinpoint Raymond's worry.

Once Raymond heard his nephew's words, he slowly turned to look at his daughter's stomach.

After a while of silence, he asked, “Julie, what will you use to prove that the baby in you is Huntley's? Don't try to talk about morals because I won't listen to that. I just want to know whose baby you're pregnant with.”

Juliana tightened her fists as the gears in her head turned.

What do I do? Do I try to reason with him? But it seems like no amount of explanation will change Father's mind.

“We'll do the amniotic fluid test,” came an apathetic voice from behind Juliana.

It was Huntley.

Surprise flashed across Juliana's eyes, and she instinctively turned toward him, silently asking him why he was agreeing to it.

Huntley shook his head at her, a gesture for her to keep her silence. He then continued, “Since you're doubtful of this, we'll do a paternity test. If the results show that the baby is mine, I hope you'll drop this matter. Also, I hope you'll know your limits, or else... I don't have infinite patience, and I won't let outsiders humiliate my future wife and son again and again.”

Philip grimaced.

Who does Huntley think he is? He's a nobody! He's only so prideful because Raymond saw great value in him. I refuse to believe that Juliana's baby is his. I've received reliable news that Juliana had taken an abortifacient a while ago. The baby in her must be illegitimate. Only guilt would make her try to abort the baby right as she found out she was pregnant. Huntley, don't assume I don't know what's going on. You're going to try to tamper with the paternity test results. I'm going to get my doctor to do the test. Let's see how he's going to bribe the medical staff!

“Sure. As long as she's pregnant with your child, we'll drop the matter and stop interfering with her inheritance of the family. We'll even serve her in the future.”

Huntley inclined his head. “I'm sure you'll be suspicious if we're the ones to hire the doctor, so why don't you have a discussion about this and see who'll do the test for her.”

Philip froze. He never thought that Huntley would be so unhesitant and was even asking him to arrange for the doctor.

Nevertheless, he was sure that the paternity test results would spell his victory.
