The Shotgun Marriage: She's the Apple of His Eye のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 141 - チャプター 150

Maya was terrified of Tobias but knew Lucy was his Achilles' heel. If she could successfully come between them, Tobias wouldn't go against the Hudsons. Otherwise, her time back at home would be a living hell.Tobias was taken aback by Maya's sudden accusation. At the same time, he was overwhelmed with rage. He retorted coldly, "Nonsense! I never did anything to you."Tobias feared Lucy would misunderstand, so he quickly explained, "Don't believe her, babe. There is nothing between she and I.""Nothing? Then why am I in your bedroom? And why do I look like this?" Maya scoffed. "Ms. Everhart, he's cheating on you with me. Now, he wants to appear like a righteous man before you. You'd be a fool to believe him!""You!" Tobias was livid.Lucy's head throbbed as she looked at them.She had been shocked when Maya suddenly emerged from the bathroom. She had initially thought that Tobias had betrayed her, and her heart had been in agony.Then, Tobias' persistence had shaken her assumpt

A glint flickered in Lucy's eyes at Tobias' attempt to save their marriage.She didn't respond to it but continued to dissect the question earlier.Lucy said, "Your hypothesis is plausible. You confidently claimed that you never touched her. I started to suspect that it was all a scheme. "But why did the hospital visit's results indicate traces of your body fluids on Maya? Plus, Sasha and my bro—Brett did a check-up, and the results confirmed they were physically intimate as well. "For the life of me, I can't figure it out."Tobias was disappointed that Lucy had avoided talking about the divorce. He thought about her suspicions and said, "Did something go wrong at the hospital?"Confused, Lucy said, "Are you referring to the equipment at the hospital?"Tobias suddenly thought of something and sneered, "It might be a human problem."He had been in the business field for a long time and was way too familiar with such plots.Lucy asked in shock, "Are you saying that the hospita

Tobias looked at the screen. The surveillance footage showed Joey bringing Maya to the hospital for a check-up. He could string together the entire process through the numerous security cameras.Moments later, Tobias saw a loophole in the footage. He asked, "There. Why did we lose her all of a sudden?""Let's switch to another security camera and see if we've missed out on anything, Mr. Ripley.""Do it, now!"Moments later, the technician said, "This lady finished her check-up around 10:30 pm, Mr. Ripley. She headed toward the restroom after that."Then, she came to a hallway intersection and used the staircase. It was an angle that the security cameras couldn't capture. "She stayed there for at least 20 minutes before she came out."That was ample time for Maya to bribe a doctor.Tobias asked, "Can you check who else went to the staircase in the same window?""Please hold on. We'll check again."The technicians stared at the screen until their eyes became bloodshot. Tobias

"Maya is the adopted daughter of Quinton Hudson, the CEO of Hudson Group. According to my investigation, she was adopted when she was eight years old. "Quinton and his wife, Madeleine Dawson, have been married for a long time, but they couldn't have a baby for a long time. They listened to their elders' advice and adopted a daughter to bring good fortune to the household. "What's surprising is that Madeleine got pregnant with a son three years after they adopted Maya. "My findings confirm that Maya was cherished and loved by both her parents in the first three years. However, things went downhill after her younger brother, Luther Hudson, was born. "Her status was no longer the same after that. The neighbors frequently heard and saw Quinton abusing her both verbally and physically. He also humiliated her all the time."The silver lining is that Madeleine protected her all the time. However, she ended up being beaten by Quinton as well. "I'm not sure what happened, but Quinton

Tobias had managed to secure some valuable information. As for Lucy's end, Emily had also found out more information.Lucy had woken up from her nap. She was about to draw some designs with Sasha when Emily came over to report her findings. "I dug up more information, Ms. Lucy. Do you want to hear it?""Sure. Go ahead." In short, Emily's report covered more about how machismo Quinton was, while Luther seemed to have been enjoying all the perks of being privileged since birth. He would often ask Maya to figure out a way to scrape together some money for him. If she failed at that, he would beat her up brutally.Lucy's heart sank after she heard what Emily said. She asked, "Did you manage to find out if Maya is willingly working together with Joey, or is she being coerced into it?""Um… I haven't found out anything about that." Emily paused for a while before she continued, "With that said, I managed to get her phone number."I think we can talk it out with her. We could giv
