Chapter 56

Cynthia could not provide a convincing explanation, as Lilian had Shirley backing her up. Everyone was gossiping about Cynthia and concluded that she was the one who had pushed someone else.

Justin and Selena arrived shortly after hearing the commotion. When they saw everyone gathered, Justin asked, "What happened?"

Shirley immediately launched into her prepared speech. "Dad, not sure why, but Cynthia pushed Lilian, who is pregnant!"

Justin's expression turned somber as he looked at Lilian sobbing in Filip's arms. Filip was Cynthia's husband, but now he was holding another woman, and that woman was pregnant with his child. Justin and Selena had watched Filip grow up; he had been like a son to them. They had thought Lilian's presence was due to Filip's momentary lapse in judgment, but they had not expected things to escalate to such an extent.

More importantly, the Yates family had informed Justin and Selena that Cynthia and Filip had not obtained their marriage certificate three years ago. Additionally, just a few days earlier, Cynthia had announced that she and Filip had separated and moved out of the Yates residence. Filip might have already secretly registered his relationship with Lilian, who had somehow become the Jones family's goddaughte

Justin felt guilty toward Cynthia. Although Cynthia did not tolerate schemers, he knew she could not possibly have pushed Lilian. He had a general idea of things. All the dignitaries of Roncrity were there today, so Justin could not let anything affect the Jones family's reputation.

Coming to a decision, Justin walked up to Lilian and questioned in a cold and oppressive voice, "Lilian, are you sure that Cynthia pushed you deliberately instead of accidentally?"

Lilian looked at Justin innocently as tears streamned down her cheeks. She knew that Justin was trying to put the matter to rest. In fact, Lilian had not intended to blow things out of proportion and embarrass the Jones family. After all, she did not want to be despised by her godfather and godmother, especially soon after they acknowledged her.

Lilian's sole purpose was to convince Filip that Cynthia had repeatedly tried to harm the child in her womb and to eliminate any feelings Filip might have had for Cynthia. Obviously, she had achieved her goal; Filip now looked at Cynthia with extreme disgust and hatred, just as he had three years ago, However, Lilian had no intention of letting the matter be casually dismissed.

Lilian sobbed pitifully, her expression shifting countless times-first shock, then understanding, followed by disappointment and endless grievances. As if she had finally made up her mind, she said, "Uncle Justin, you're right. Cynthia didn't mean it. It was just an accident" Cynthia saw every subtle expression flitted across Lilian's face and realized how well Lilian could act. Lilian's expression. beautifully portrayed her compromise under pressure. While Lilian verbally stated that Cynthia's actions were

unintentional, her expression indicated that she was overwhelmed by the need to maintain the dignity of the Jones family and was willing to let bygones be bygones and put the matter to rest.

Thus, it indirectly told everyone around Lilian that Cynthia had intentionally pushed her. Not only did it reflect Lilian's complacency and make people feel sorry for her, but it also saved Justin from embarrassment. It was like killing three birds with one stone. Sure enough, Lilian had captivated everyone with her acting skills.

Justin's expression softened when he looked at Lilian, and there was even a hint of guilt.

ip felt even more distressed and held Lilian tighter.

Filip

Everyone around them was whispering.

"It seems Ms. Cynthia Jones did push Ms. Sheppard even though she's pregnant. How could she be so vicious?" someone

commented.

"The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I heard that her biological mother is a murderer and her father is an alcoholic. To let her daughter enjoy the splendor and wealth of the Jones family, her biological mother exchanged her with the Jones family's biological daughter. Now, she wants to kill someone else's unborn child. Sure enough, she has inherited her family's evil traits," said another person.

It seems Ms. Cynthia Jones did push Ms. Sheppard even though she's pregnant. How could she be so vicious?" someone commented.

"Don't you know the Jones and Yates families have an arranged marriage agreement? Ms. Cynthia Jones likes Mr. Yates, who's currently holding Ms. Sheppard. Since Ms. Cynthia Jones is jealous, she wants to harm the baby. Such a vicious person." someone remarked.

"The Jones family is kind-hearted and couldn't bring themselves to cast away the daughter they have raised. They should have kicked out their enemy's daughter of the house long ago. They should be careful not to invite trouble into their house and bring disaster upon themselves, another person added.

When Justin heard Lilian's words, he finally sighed in relief. In many things, the truth did not need to be revealed. The whole thing would soon be over if the victim did not pursue it.

However, Shirley did not want to let go of Cynthia so easily, It was not easy to scheme such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Shirley wouldn't stop until Cynthia's reputation was completely ruined. "Dad, we are all your daughters now. How can you be so biased? You can't just take Cynthia's side," Shirley protested.

Justin, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, felt his heart constrict once again.

Shirley felt her heart skip a beat when she saw Justin's gloomy face. She knew Justin was always dissatisfied with her because se constantly compared herself to Cynthia. In Justin's eyes, her talent, appearance, schoolwork, manners, temperament, and upbringing were all inferior to Cynthia's. However, Shirley could not accept that because she was Justin's biological daughter, not Cynthia..

If I had grown up with them, I would have been much better than Cynthia! Shirley fumed inwardly. She knew Justin cared most about his and the Jones family's dignity and reputation. So, Shirley knew she could not cross the line. Shirley relented and said, "Cynthia should at least apologize to Lilian. After all, Lilian almost lost her baby."

Shirley stared at Cynthia, who stood stiffly on the stairs, her thoughts turning vicious. 'It would be far more painful for Cynthia to apologize to Lilian than to face death. Besides, only Lilian and I know the truth-Cynthia didn't push her. I want to see if someone as arrogant as Cynthia will bow under the pressure

The onlookers grew, and more discussions filled the air. If things went on like that, the Jones family's reputation would become a joke among the upper society, which was the last thing Justin wanted. He cared more about the Jones family dignity than his daughters rivalries. Justin just wanted to get it over with as quickly as possible.

Justin turned to Cynthia and said, "Cynthia, although it was an accident, it's undeniable that you were responsible for Lilian's fall. Come and apologize to her. Then this matter will be settled:

Cynthia said inwardly, "There's no way I will apologize! She scoffed, "Why should I apologize for something I didn't do?"
