Chapter 430 Pretending The Baby Was Colton’s
“Queenie, is what you said true?” Lydia grabbed Queenie and asked.
Queenie nodded. She truthfully told Lydia what she had done to Colton.
A layer of cold sweat formed on Lydia’s forehead. She couldn’t believe that Queenie was bold enough to drug Colton by pouring an unknown white substance on his face. If he were to take revenge, he would destroy the Anderson Family!
“Mom, don’t worry. Although Colton was angry, he didn’t make me suffer. After all, now that we’re together, and the fact that I’m carrying his child in me, he wouldn’t give me up,” Queenie said as she rubbed her stomach.
Lydia’s eyes widened as she looked at Queenie before asking with trembling lips, “You’re pregnant?”
Queenie nodded. “Yes, I’m pregnant.”
Then, Lydia quickly came to her senses and asked, “Didn’t you just get together with Colton? How can you be sure that you’re pregnant?”
Queenie had always been honest with Lydia, so she answered honestly, “This child belongs to Bryan.”
“What?! Queenie, have you lost your mind?” Lydia shrieked as she was frightened by Queenie’s bold ideas. She couldn’t believe Queenie wanted to use someone’s baby and pretend it was Colton’s.
“Mom,” Queenie called out as she clasped Lydia’s hand with hers. “Bryan’s in-laws are very traditional. So, if his wife finds out I’m pregnant with his child, we will be doomed forever.”
Naturally, Lydia knew this as she quickly responded, “Then, this child shall never be born. Queenie, let’s abort it.”
Queenie lowered her gaze; she knew full well that this child couldn’t be born. “Mom, I know I can’t have this child, but we have to make use of it for now.”
Lydia soon understood what Queenie meant, and color immediately drained from Lydia’s face as she looked at her daughter in shock as she spoke in a tremulous voice, “Queenie, if Colton finds out about this, we’ll—”
“Mom, I’ll make sure he doesn’t have a chance to doubt me. Although this child will not be born, I’ll use it to the fullest. I want Colton to feel guilty.” Queenie’s grip around Lydia’s hand tightened as her face turned vicious for a while.
Although Lydia was a little distressed, she did not say anything after seeing how determined her daughter was as she thought about her future. Therefore, she gulped before advising, “Queenie, you have to be careful about this!”
Queenie nodded obediently. “I know, Mom.”

After half a month, the research center miraculously succeeded in developing its vaccine.
However, no one celebrated. Once they successfully developed a vaccine, the next step was conducting clinical trials.
They first started to test on mice. After a week, the researchers found that the mice were fine. Then, they moved to recruit volunteers to start the clinical trials.
Although Norman had a prominent identity, he was suppressed by the Gardners. So, the police station had no plans of releasing him. During this period, Pierre had gone to visit him.
Norman knew that he couldn’t rat Pierre out right now. If Pierre were to be thrown into jail right now, it would really be the end of Norman. Nevertheless, if he didn’t put a little pressure on Pierre, he might not want to help.
“Pierre, I’m warning you, we’re all on the same boat. If Nicole manages to drag me down, I will pull you down with me even if I go to hell!”
Norman’s threats were spiteful. He shouldn’t have listened to Pierre and sold out his friend.
Despite that, Pierre had an elegant smile on his face as he shrugged indifferently before saying with a smile, “Mr. Clancy, the only one that can save you right now is me. After all, we’re living in a place where the Gardners hold all the power. As long as the Gardners are still around, there is nothing you can do.”
