Chapter 7 The Scheme Unraveled

作者: Ben Key
Nina's childish voice rang out through the now-silent banquet hall. "That night, I saw Grandma secretly take Oliver away. She put Oliver beside that woman's bed. Then, she brought that woman's sick baby back to my mom. Grandma even called that sick baby a bastard.

"After Grandma left, that woman fell asleep. So, I sneaked inside and switched Oliver back. I also cut off the blue plastic band that said 'Evelyn Reed's Son.'"

Evelyn collapsed to the floor as soon as Nina finished speaking. She whi

  • The Baby They Swapped   Chapter 8 The Last Laugh

    The scheme to switch the babies had been Patricia's doing—the same Patricia who played the kind and loving mother-in-law in front of me every single day.The police recorder played Patricia's confession."I just can't stand Genevieve acting like she's some kind of princess. Gabriel clearly loves Evelyn. Why should he have to put up with Genevieve's attitude?"Then, it just so happened that Evelyn gave birth to a sick baby, while Genevieve had a healthy one. So, I figured we could switch the babies and preserve the Montgomery family's bloodline."Then, we could use the baby's illness as an excuse to force Genevieve out of the family and walk away with nothing. That way, Evelyn could bring her healthy, chubby little boy into the house and officially become part of the family."My stomach churned upon hearing that recording as a chill ran down my spine.I looked at Gabriel, standing beside me in handcuffs.Suddenly, I couldn't help but feel like my three-year marriage to that man h

    Nina's childish voice rang out through the now-silent banquet hall. "That night, I saw Grandma secretly take Oliver away. She put Oliver beside that woman's bed. Then, she brought that woman's sick baby back to my mom. Grandma even called that sick baby a bastard."After Grandma left, that woman fell asleep. So, I sneaked inside and switched Oliver back. I also cut off the blue plastic band that said 'Evelyn Reed's Son.'"Evelyn collapsed to the floor as soon as Nina finished speaking. She whipped around and stared at the baby on the ground.The child she had just slammed to the floor with her own hands was now so weak that he could barely let out a cry. "No… That's impossible."Evelyn crawled over on all fours, her hands trembling as she pulled open the baby's swaddle.She picked up the child from the floor and burst into tears. "My precious baby, I'm so sorry…"Patricia's eyes widened. "You ungrateful brat! What kind of nonsense are you talking about?"She charged at Nina like

  • The Baby They Swapped   Chapter 6 Her Own Confession

    The guests around us were still whispering and pointing.Gabriel had completely run out of patience. He lunged forward and grabbed my wrist. "Genevieve, don't push me too far!"He then grabbed both my arms and held me firmly in place.Patricia immediately took advantage of the situation to rush over and snatch Oliver right out of my arms.Oliver woke with a start and immediately began wailing at the top of his lungs."My precious grandson! I finally have you back in my arms!" Patricia's wrinkled face broke into a huge grin. "Sweetie, did you miss me?"She looked up at me. "That woman is not your mother. You'd best remember that."Then, she moved the baby closer to Evelyn. "This is your mother."Evelyn didn't spare the dying baby on the floor another glance. Instead, she scrambled over to look at the child in Patricia's arms.I looked at these reckless fools, my fury shooting straight through the roof. Did they really think I was some pushover they could bully?I stared at Gab

  • The Baby They Swapped   Chapter 5 A Family of Liars

    The entire room fell silent following the dull thud. Then came the faintest, most heartbreaking cry of a baby.Evelyn had actually thrown the baby in her arms onto the floor.The guests around us sucked in shocked breaths, and whispers immediately broke out.Gabriel's face went deathly pale. He shoved Evelyn aside and rushed to check on the baby lying on the floor.In the meantime, Evelyn seemed to have lost her mind. Her eyes were bloodshot as she lunged at me. "Give me my son back, you bitch!"I stepped aside and held Oliver tightly against my chest, shielding him with my body.Patricia panicked when she saw this. She completely dropped all pretense and rushed over to block my escape.She pointed a finger right at my face, spittle flying as she shouted, "Genevieve, I am done pretending! That healthy, chubby boy in your arms isn't your son at all!"He is Gabriel and Evelyn's biological son! That sickly child of yours who was doomed to die young was switched out long ago!"The

  • The Baby They Swapped   Chapter 4 The Truth

    Both babies' one-month celebration was held at the most luxurious five-star hotel in the city.Gabriel stood in the center of the banquet hall in a custom-tailored suit, looking like he was on top of the world.Evelyn wore a fitted wine-red evening gown and leaned against him affectionately.The baby in her arms was wrapped in a golden-thread swaddle.Patricia had a huge smile on her face as she went around praising Evelyn's baby, telling everyone how blessed the child was.They looked like a real family.I sat alone on a chair in the corner, holding Oliver in my arms. All I could hear were the guests' insincere congratulations drifting into my ears.Patricia walked over with a wineglass in hand, swaying her hips as she approached me. The wrinkles on her face twisted with undisguised malice."Well, well. You're still carrying that little sickly thing who's going to die young?"She lowered her voice and leaned close to my ear, whispering maliciously, "You should have left him a

  • The Baby They Swapped   Chapter 3 The Perfect Family Act

    The doorbell rang bright and early the next morning.Patricia ran to answer it with a huge grin plastered across her face.The moment the door opened, a strong wave of perfume hit me in the face.Evelyn walked in wearing a fitted designer dress and high heels. She had a tightly swaddled baby in her arms. Meanwhile, Gabriel followed close behind her, carrying bags of all sizes.The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked in, looking every bit like a family of three.I sat on the couch, watching the whole show with cold eyes.Evelyn glanced at me, a smug smile curling at the corners of her lips."Genevieve, I'm so sorry. Gabriel insisted on bringing me over for a visit. He said you'd been cooped up at home after having the baby, so he wanted me to bring my baby over to keep you company."Gabriel set the bags down and immediately poured Evelyn a glass of warm water. "Evelyn just got out of the hospital. She's still weak, so don't make her stand."Patricia was even more ove
