Chapter 280

The words "bed-wetting" struck Nicole like a slap across the face.

Her smile froze. Her nails dug deep into her palms.

Though Alexander didn't name names, everyone understood he was mocking her incontinence incident.

Nicole's face turned beet red. Her chest heaved violently.

"Pfft—"

Susan couldn't suppress her laughter.

Alexander was usually ice-cold. His sudden sarcasm created a stark contrast.

"You!" Nicole's eyes burned with venom, as if she wanted to tear Susan's face apart.

Susan blinked innocently. "Sorry, I just pictured someone wetting their bed..."

She feigned concern and leaned closer. "Nicole, bed-wetting is a medical condition. You should get it treated. Aren't you hospitalized right now? Is that what you're being treated for?"

"Oh, what did the doctor say? If it's incurable, you might need adult diapers!"

"Susan!" Nicole shrieked and stormed out.

Andrew stared at Susan in a daze.

Her eyes sparkled mischievously when she argued, just like a cunning little fox—exactly as she was four years ago.

His heart softened, and he chased after Nicole.

Feeling elated, Susan suddenly realized Alexander still had his arm around her.

She quickly pulled away, her ears burning.

Alexander calmly peeled an apple and cut it into small pieces, feeding her one.

"I can do it myself—"

Before she could finish, he stuffed a piece into her mouth.

Susan wanted to cry. Why was this man so domineering?

Only when Alexander left to take a call did she finally exhale in relief.

Ethan should have arrived at the Thompson residence by now.

Would Dad believe the truth...?

Ethan clutched the paternity test report, walking with purpose.

He imagined slapping the report onto his father's face and couldn't help but chuckle.

The servants exchanged glances—why did the young master seem so giddy today?

In the bedroom, Victor was gently wiping Catherine's hands.

"Dad!" Ethan skidded to a stop, his bravado instantly deflating.

He swallowed hard and carefully handed over the report. "Um... Nicole is an imposter. Susan is your real daughter!"

Victor's hand stilled.
