My Best Friend Had a Baby to Inherit Riches, I Exposed Her Chapter 06
I stepped out of the car, calmly smoothing down my rumpled clothes.Â
Seeing Abby struggling to find the text, I gave her a helpful hint.Â
“Look lower. Yes, the very last line. Additional clinical findings.”Â
“Can you read it? If not, I can read it aloud for you.”Â
There was no need. The black ink on the paper was mercilessly clear.Â
[Subject exhibits severe congenital reproductiveÂ
system anomalies. Total absence of internal andÂ
external reproductive organs. No distinctÂ
biological sex characteristics determined.]Â
Abby’s face drained of all color. Her handsÂ
trembled violently as she looked at Garrett’sÂ
parents.Â
“Mr. Sterling… Mrs. Sterling… what does thisÂ
mean?”Â
Garrett’s father’s face was black with rage, his jawÂ
clenched tight.Â
“I should ask you! What did you do to myÂ
grandson!”Â
Abby shook her head frantically, entering fullÂ
denial.Â
“It’s fake. It has to be fake.”Â
She charged at me, grabbing my collar.Â
“You swapped the reports, didn’t you?”Â
“Audrey, how can you be so vile? Just because youÂ
can’t have a son, you fabricate defects aboutÂ
mine!”Â
I shoved her away with brute force. Seeing theÂ
absolute panic on her face filled me with immenseÂ
satisfaction.Â
“Dr. Miller is right here. He can check the babyÂ
again right now to confirm the reality.”Â
I let out a cold laugh, the suffocating weight in myÂ
chest finally lifting.Â
“Give it up, Abby. A child obtained through disgusting schemes will eventually dissolve underÂ
the light.”Â
“No! No! My boy is the only heir to the SterlingÂ
fortune!”Â
She threw herself onto Garrett’s mother, clutchingÂ
her arm like a vice.Â
“Mrs. Sterling, you know Garrett only has Toby! You can’t abandon him!”Â
The same woman who had been smiling warmlyÂ
at Abby moments ago now pushed her away with pure disgust.Â
“You cheap piece of trash. I actually thought youÂ
were competent.”Â
“I wasted all this time with you just for you to deliver a defective freak.”Â
Abby turned to Garrett’s sister, who immediately took several steps back, terrified of beingÂ
associated with her.Â
The sister glided over to my side. Seeing me. frown, she forced a deeply sycophantic smile.Â
“Audrey, sweetie, look at this mess. The baby in your belly didn’t get hurt, right?”Â
I took a step back, dodging her hand as it reached for my stomach.Â
She pulled her hand back with an awkward laugh.Â
“Right, right. This is our golden child. Can’t be tooÂ
careful.”Â
Garrett’s mother snapped out of her daze too,Â
rushing to my side with her eyes shining like stars.Â
“Yes! This is the absolute last hope for the SterlingÂ
family! We must treasure her!”Â
Garrett’s father stepped up and delivered a brutalÂ
backhand to Abby’s face.Â
“You worthless slut. You seduced my son whileÂ
my daughter–in–law was pregnant, and then yourÂ
tried to sabotage my actual grandchild.”Â
“A slap is letting you off easy.”Â
“Pack your trash and take your defective freak outÂ
of The Sterling Estate!”Â
Abby held her bleeding cheek, sobbingÂ
hysterically.Â
“Even if he has defects, he is still Garrett’sÂ
biological son!”Â
Before I could open my mouth to curse her, a deep, commanding voice boomed from the entrance.Â
“I certainly don’t remember gaining a son duringÂ
my three months away.”Â
The familiar voice instantly made my eyes stingÂ
with tears.Â
Garrett stood at the doorway against the light, hisÂ
clothes wrinkled and exhausted.Â
It was obvious he hadn’t slept in days.Â
He strode over to my side, his familiar, grounding presence instantly wrapping around me.Â
“Sweetheart, I’m home.”Â
My tears finally broke, and I thudded his chest with my fists, letting out months of pure terror andÂ
suppression.Â
“Do you have any idea what they did? They tried toÂ
force me to abort our baby for that inheritance!”Â
Garrett bent down and pulled me tightly into hisÂ
arms, his voice laced with agonizing guilt.Â
“The moment I received your letter, I booked theÂ
first flight back.”Â
“But getting back from an isolated overseasÂ
corporate deployment requires multiple transfers.Â
I’m so sorry I was late.”Â
He looked into my eyes with infinite warmth.Â
“Don’t worry. I’ve already applied for a permanentÂ
domestic relocation. I will stay by your side andÂ
the baby’s side forever.”Â
He straightened up, his eyes turning into chips ofÂ
ice as he targeted Abby.Â
“How exactly did you get this child? If you don’tÂ
start talking, the police will make you.”Â
Abby looked at Garrett, her panic completelyÂ
unmasked.Â
She stuttered for a while before trying to play theÂ
victim.Â
“That night… you were drunk… you mistook me forÂ
Audrey…”Â
Before Garrett could even speak, I snapped.Â
“Cut the crap! Garrett is severely allergic to alcohol. He doesn’t touch a drop!”Â
A trace of amusement flashed in Garrett’s eyes, and he leaned down to gently pinch my cheek.Â
He didn’t bother wasting another word on her,Â
pulling out his phone to dial 911.Â
“Explain it to the detectives.”Â
Abby tried to look fragile, tears streaming down.Â
her face as she pleaded with Garrett.Â
“This is our biological son! Can you really be thisÂ
heartless?”Â
Garrett ignored her completely, speaking directlyÂ
to the emergency dispatcher.Â
Seeing that he was actually moving forward with criminal charges, Abby’s fake strength crackedÂ
completely.Â
“Stop! Don’t call the police! I’ll talk…”
