After Having a Dream, I Became Pregnant with a Billionaire’s Child
Chapter 266 - 260

Chapter 266: Chapter 260

Nana Ross stood there, water flowing freely down her cheeks. Her makeup became mottled under the wash of water, her dress soaked through, clinging tightly to her body, a picture of disarray.

Her eyes widened, face full of astonishment. After a moment, she suddenly lifted her head, letting out a sharp scream,

"Emily Parker, what are you doing?"

Emily Parker stood to the side, still holding a water cup in her hand, and she smiled slightly,

"With such a foul mouth, I helped wash it for you."

After speaking, she lightly put down the cup in her hand, her eyes cold.

Her patience had its limits too.

Nana Ross was so angry her face twisted. She glared at Emily Parker, gritted her teeth, clenched her fists tightly, nails digging deep into her palms, as if wishing to rush forward and slap Emily Parker.

But Evelyn Hanson stood protectively before Emily, eyes chilly, staring intently at Nana Ross, as if warning her not to act rashly.

The class president quickly interposed himself between the two, fearing a bigger uproar.

The listening female classmates all came crowding around.

Their gaze swept back and forth between Nana Ross and Emily Parker, all criticizing Emily.

"Emily Parker, what are you doing?"

One girl spoke first, with a tone of accusation.

"What Nana said is true too, isn’t it just a breakup? Is it necessary to make such a scene at the class reunion?"

Another girl chimed in, reproaching Emily for her impulsiveness.

"Nana’s outfit is expensive, it’s not something any fake wealthy family can afford to compensate for."

Someone else sneered, tone full of sarcasm.

These female classmates had always been the kind to flatter the high and step on the low. They had already seen the news of Emily Parker’s breakup with Adam Willow.

Previously, because Emily had announced her marriage, they really believed she was marrying into a wealthy family.

Before, everyone wanted to add Emily’s contact info, hoping she could help them.

But these past few days, Nana Ross was spreading rumors in the group, and they all believed Emily was lying, putting on airs,

Especially today, when Emily arrived at the reunion in a plain, unremarkable outfit, they couldn’t wait to see her make a fool of herself.

At this moment, they all targeted their blame at Emily.

"Forget it, how much is the outfit, I’ll help her..."

Adam Willow was standing nearby, watching the scene unfold, feeling somewhat sympathetic.

He recalled the time in middle school when Emily had just transferred over, a time when she had a solitary personality and always wore slightly-too-short clothes, which led to her being ostracized by the girls in class.

He wanted to step up and help but was held back by Sophie Parker.

"Brother Adam, she’s already married into a tycoon’s family, why would she need your help?"

Sophie Parker pouted, quickly pulling Adam away, her eyes showing a hint of schadenfreude.

Nana Ross, seeing so many people supporting her words, a glimmer of triumph flashed in her eyes, she glared fiercely at Emily and said loudly,

"Compensate!

You must compensate!

This outfit is Coco’s latest style of the year, costing several hundred thousand for one set. Plus, my hairstyle and makeup, all done by the personal stylists of celebrities, each time costing thousands!

Altogether, you owe me a million."

A million?

Evelyn Hanson was dumbfounded.

"What, you can’t come up with the money? Isn’t your husband very rich? Ask him to come help you pay then.

Or do you actually have no husband?"

Nana Ross thought she had hit Emily Parker’s sore spot.

What rich family lady, married to the Young Master of the Carter Clan, it was all lies.

"Who says she doesn’t have a husband?"

A cold and stern voice rang out from behind, as the doors to the State Hall suddenly opened.

Carlos walked in, posture upright as a pine.

His features seemed like art, meticulously sculpted; slanted sword-like eyebrows, deep eyes, beneath a high nose bridge, lightly pursed thin lips, carrying an elusive hint of defiance.

Carlos stood quietly like this, the entire person akin to a magnet, drawing the gaze of all the women present.

Carlos strode forward with calm and steady steps, slowly arriving beside Emily Parker.

He reached out gently, enveloping Emily in his embrace.

Emily leaned against him, slightly tilting her head, eyes filled with confusion.

Why was he here?

Nana Ross and the female classmates were all stunned in place, eyes round, mouths slightly agape, as if frozen.

Their gaze fixed on Carlos, eyes full of shock and disbelief.

Before Carlos appeared, Adam Willow was the most striking man in the room, however, the moment Carlos walked in, Adam was instantly overshadowed.

Nana Ross’s eyes swept back and forth between Carlos and Emily. Her gaze showed disbelief and a hint of jealousy.

She was still unwilling to accept, speculating if this man was just someone Emily hired?

"You’re Emily Parker’s husband? The heir of the Carter Clan?"

Her voice shook slightly, tongue seemingly tied, as if even she didn’t fully believe her words.

Carlos smiled slightly, eyes showing a hint of affection, he looked down at Emily in his arms, softly said, "Correct, I’m Emily’s husband."

As he spoke, as if doubting anyone would believe, he casually pulled out a red booklet, opening it in front of everyone.

His eyes even intentionally glanced towards Adam Willow.

"Marriage certificate?"

Emily’s pupils were almost shaking; was Carlos mad, who carries around their marriage certificate these days?

The surrounding female classmates also exchanged whispers, murmuring among themselves.

Their gazes showed some envy, some jealousy, and some disbelief.

Carlos’s appearance was a bombshell, whereas in those female classmates’ eyes, Emily was still the heroine suffering from heartbreak just recently dumped in breakup.

Yet who knew her husband turned out to be even more outstanding than Adam Willow.

Adam Willow unconsciously clenched his fists, knuckles slightly turning white.

Watching Emily comfortably lean into that man’s arms, the mutual understanding and intimacy between them was akin to that of an old married couple.

Emily was not skilled at feigning; her body language had revealed everything.

His gaze flickered with complex emotions, both unwillingness and a hint of loss.

He initially thought Emily was merely acting strong, yet didn’t expect she truly let him go, and loved Carlos?

Sophie Parker’s heart was also being scratched by a cat’s paw, her gaze showed signs of jealousy.

"You’re truly the Young Master of the Carter Clan?"

Nana Ross still appeared incredulous, and there was a sharpness in her voice.

She couldn’t believe Emily could be that fortunate to marry the heir of the Carter Clan.

In her view, Emily was merely an ordinary girl, how could she have climbed such high branches?

Carlos smiled slightly, spread his hands, his tone relaxed,

"The Carter Clan has no connection with me."

As soon as his words fell, the room plunged into a dead silence, everyone stunned.

Nana Ross’s eyes lit up instantly, her gaze carried a hint of malice.

She just knew Emily was lying!

A woman that even Adam didn’t want, how could the Young Master of the Carter Clan ever like her? She immediately shouted,

"Emily, you liar!

You still dare claim you married the Young Master of the Carter Clan, are the wife of the Carter boss."
