Chapter 487: Chapter 487 Three-and-a-Half Months Pregnant

Everyone could tell that Lance was backing up Yvette.

Every harsh word he said was like a ruthless slap on Juliette in the face.

The confident public image she presented fell apart in an instant.

Lance had personally mentioned her as an outsider.

Tanya walked out to ease the tension here. "Lance, what are you talking about? Juliette treats me like her own mother. This is her home."

Only then did Juliette’s stiff face relax a bit.

Juliette forced a smile. "Lance, I did not mean anything."

Lance was not interested in arguing with her. He said to Tanya, "Just say all you want to say. I have nothing to hide from Yvette."

Obviously, Lance had made his stance clear that he was on the same side as Yvette.

Tanya had to continue. "Lance, you stopped all the cooperation with the Beckford family. This leads to the suspension of the trading of their stocks. If this continues, their company will go bankrupt and be delisted. Look at what you have done! Isn’t this a bit too much? Juliette is still pregnant with your child. You should think of the baby and not go so hard on them."

Lance’s tone sounded cold. "Mom, I have shown mercy to Mr. Beckford. Otherwise, the Department of Justice of the Wolseley Group can sue Ms. Beckford just based on the fact that Ms. Beckford has been working with Mr. Wolseley to profit from us."

A hopeless look appeared on Juliette’s face. "Lance, you misunderstood me. It wasn’t me. Mr. Wolseley came to me and lied to me. He said this was instructed by you. I have already explained this to Tanya."

Tanya also defended her. "That’s right, Lance. I can prove that Juliette is loyal to you. For the sake of the child..."

"The child..."

Lance sneered, "I’ve already said it many times. It is not mine. I understand you want a grandchild. But don’t let yourself be fooled!"

"Lance, the child is yours. I swear!"

Juliette looked heartbroken. "Whether you admit it or not, I will give birth to this child. If you don’t want the baby, I will raise the baby myself!"

Although Juliette said that, this was more of a threat to Lance.

The child would only be trouble once it was born and Lance knew about it.

It was true that the Wolseley family would never accept an illegitimate child.

But when Juliette was pregnant, Lance was still single. So this child was not an illegitimate child!

This child now was her bargaining chip!

Moreover, before the child was born, Yvette would have been dead.

In this life, the only person Lance could marry was Juliette.

Juliette would make every woman who dared to seduce Lance disappear forever.

She had done this to Yvette before.

Last time, Yvette just got lucky. She would not be this time.

Juliette lowered her head, as a trace of ruthlessness flashed through her eyes. Soon it disappeared.

Lance said expressionlessly, "You can do whatever you want. No matter what, the child has nothing to do with the Wolseley family!"

Juliette couldn’t stop her tears. "Lance, how can you turn your back on what we have been through these years? Do my five years mean nothing to you?"

She was accusing Lance of betraying her.

Hearing that, Lance felt disgusted and was afraid that Yvette would misunderstand them.

He narrowed his eyes and asked coldly, "What did I do to you in those five years?"

Juliette’s face was full of tears and she looked as if she felt wronged. "Lance, I am not forcing you to take responsibility for what happened in the past, but you should have to should it, at least for the sake of the child. Do not let me do this alone."

Juliette’s words were quite ambiguous.

She seemed to have answered Lance’s question, but the answer was not so straightforward.

Lance could not retort anything, though he was not happy about her answer.

He had run out of patience and frowned. "Juliette, what do you mean by what happened in the past? Do you mean what Colton gave to you is not enough or the benefits you got from the Wolseley Group are not enough?"

Juliette’s face turned pale, as her lie was suddenly exposed.

"Lance, how can you frame me for this woman?"

Juliette bit her lips and cried, "After this, will you get rid of our child for her?"

Yvette was really impressed by Juliette’s acting.

If she did not trust Lance, she would have misunderstood Lance and would have had an argument with him when they went back.

"Ms. Beckford."

Yvette suddenly spoke, "You keep mentioning that you have been with Lance for five years. But you haven’t been very specific. Can you say at least one memorable thing? You must remember something, right?"

Juliette’s expression choked, and embarrassment showed up on her face.

She bit her lips tightly. "No matter what you say, you can’t erase the fact that Lance once loved me!"

Juliette wanted to make Yvette jealous.

If not for Yvette, Lance would have fallen in love with her one day.

This was all Yvette’s fault!

Yvette looked calm and did not avoid Juliette’s stare. "Then can you tell me did you get pregnant after sleeping with him once? Can you tell me the time and location?"

Juliette looked at Yvette strangely, not understanding why Yvette would ask this!

To Juliette, Yvette should not be happy to know about these details.

However, as a matter of fact, Yvette didn’t care at all.

Juliette wanted to annoy her.

Since this was the case, Yvette did not want to lose it to her.

She held the man’s arm and smiled. "You can’t even tell these details. How can I believe that you have loved each other?"

Juliette was speechless.

Yvette continued, "You cannot even answer that. I bet that you can’t even tell us how long you have been pregnant. It’s a simple question."

Juliette was furious.

But all she was saying was that she was carrying Lance’s child.

Seeing that Tanya was fine, Lance didn’t want to stay any longer, so he grabbed Yvette’s hand and prepared to leave.

Tanya couldn’t stop Lance from leaving, so she anxiously propped herself up from the bed and shouted.

"Lance, stop! How can you do this to Juliette? She did not know. I can tell you. She’s been pregnant for three and a half months. I believe in Juliette. The child is definitely yours!"

Lance frowned, and his footsteps instantly stopped.
