Chapter 573 Exin Yourself


    Julian made a hasty escape with Wi in his arms. He had a look of eagerness on his face, and


    everyone could not help but feel shocked about it.


    Leaning in Julian''s embrace, a triumphant grin crossed Wi’s lips.


    ''Susan! I''ve won this time.''


    There was a moment of silence in the hall even after Julian and Wi had left. All of them looked at


    the sobbing Chesney as they did not know what to say.


    Everyone found it hard to believe when Susan and Chesney said it was Wi who stabbed herself.


    After all, she had been stabbed in the stomach. If the knife went slightly to the center a little, the


    baby in her stomach would be gone.


    There was no way Wi would do something so risky. Therefore, they were all more inclined to


    believe Wi''s exnation. It was Susan who stabbed her, and Chesney was trying to cover up for


    her mom.


    Everyone had their conclusion in their heart, but they did not say anything since both Susan and


    Chesney were from the Wrights.


    "Don''t cry, Chessie.” Lucas walked over and tightly held Chesney''s hand.


    "Luca, Daddy, Daddy doesn''t want me and Mommy anymore," Chesney cried even harder.


    It was not her but the bad aunty who was lying. Chesney couldn’t understand why her father and


    everyone did not believe her.


    "Don’t be scared." A resolute expression was forming slowly on Lucas’s face. "I''ll stay by your side


    forever, Chessie.”


    At this moment, Chesney reminded Lucas of himself when his mother suddenly disappeared.


    There was a voice shouting and screaming inside of him, telling him that he must protect the girl in


    front of him at all cost and that he must preserve her air of unsullied purity and innocence forever.


    She should wear that angelic smile of hers at all times, and she should never ever cry like this as


    sadness did not suit her at all.


    Lucas took out his handkerchief and carefully wiped the tear on Chesney’s face.


    After beingforted by Susan and Lucas, Chesney was able to calm down a little.


    "Let''s go back," Julius suggested.


    Susan pressed her lips tight and scooped Chesney up from the floor.


    The four of them soon left the banquet.


    It was only after they had disappeared that a heated argument broke out behind them.


    The love and hate between Julian, Susan, Wi, and Julius was enough for them to talk for a few


    months.


    Inside the car, Chesney had stopped crying. Perhaps she exhausted herself crying, but she fell


    asleep in Susan''s arms. However, she was still unsettled, sleeping in fits and starts as she kept


    mumbling something under her breath.


    Susan felt her heart was aching seeing her daughter like this, so she held her even tighter in her


    arms, trying to give her more warmth.


    Julius took a look at them through the rearview mirror. Then, he said, "That Wi is truly one


    ruthless character."


    Susan raised her head to meet Julius''s eyes. "You believe it isn''t me?"


    Julius then replied seriously, "Of course I believe you. I think you should’ve stabbed her a long time


    ago, but I''m sure that you will admit it if it''s really your doing. If you said you didn''t do it, then that


    means you didn''t do it."


    Julius spoke resolutely.


    Susan was washed by a surge ofplex emotions.


    A man she had just made acquaintances with for only a few days chose to believe her without any


    hesitation, while Julian...


    Mixed emotions flooded Susan when she thought about the man.


    She forced the emotions down.


    Julian was no longer the man she remembered.


    Compared to Wi and the baby in her stomach, both she and Chesney were nothing to him.


    "Don’t worry, Susie. What’s fake cannot be true. I''m sure everyone will see Wi’s true face in one


    day," Julius said.


    "Yeah. Let’s hope for that," Susan replied inly as she looked outside through the window.


    She realized that she was not that eager to expose Wi at all. After all, she had never cared about


    Wi. What she cared about was Julian''s attitude.


    Since Julian had made his stand, there was no need for her to insist on it anymore.


    In the study on the second floor of the Quinton mansion, Brook scanned both Seth and Lara up and


    down while sitting opposite them.


    Seth could not bear his piercing gaze anymore, so he went forward and said, '' Uncle, this is all but a


    misunderstanding. There is nothing between Lara and me. She is just joking with me."


    Just when Lara was about to nod, she saw the expression on her father''s face change. He smacked


    the table hardly and snarled out, "Seth Leeds! Lara admitted that she''s pregnant in front of so many


    people. Do you know how much courage it took for a girl to expose something like that in the public,


    and you still refuse to admit what you''ve done to her? Joking? What kind of


    girl would make such a joke? Are you saying that my daughter is an idiot who would make fun of


    her own chastity and reputation?"


    Lara wanted to exin, but she suddenly became quiet after listening to what her father had said.


    ''Should I admit that I’m pregnant or should I admit that I''m an idiot..."


    Lara did not know what she should do right now.


    Seth threw a slight smile at Lara and said, “ I suppose it''s better for you to exin to your father


    yourself."


    Lara felt sick with Seth''s smug face.


    However, she knew pregnancy was not something that should be made into a joke.


    Just when she opened her mouth and was about to say something, Brook shot up from his chair.


    His face was livid with rage and his eyes seemed to be blowing fire when he looked at Seth. "Seth


    Leeds! I know StarTech is big, but you shouldn’t underestimate the Quintons as well. I''ll make


    myself clear here-it''s fine with me if you don''t want to bear the responsibility. However, from today


    onward, the Quintons will be StarTech''s enemy. I''ll drag you into hell along with me even if it costs


    me everything."


    Seth opened his mouth and said, "But Uncle, this is really a misunderstanding..."


    "B*llsh*t! There is no way Lara would make such a joke. If she dares to say something like that, I''ll


    beat her to death myself!" Brook snapped. After that, he turned to Lara and said, "Say something,


    Lara. Are you pregnant or not? Who is the father of the baby in your stomach? Don’t worry Lara, no


    matter who that guy is, I''ll make sure that you get the justice you deserve."


    Lara opened her mouth.


    If she told her father that she was joking, not only that she would admit she was an idiot, but she


    would be beaten to death by her own father.


    With that thought in mind, Lara swallowed a few gulps of saliva, and then she said slowly, "Erm,


    Dad. Don''t be so angry with Seth. H-he didn''t mean it as well."


    "The f*ck? What the hell are you talking about?" Seth could not believe that Lara would say


    something like that.


    "What do you have to say?" Brook looked at Seth, "There are only two options for you now. Either


    you marry Lara, or you''ll have to ept my revenge. Make your choice!” "I... I..." Seth looked at


    Lara, who kept her head low in guilt. He squinted his eyes andughed, "What are you talking


    about, Uncle? Of course I''m willing to marry Lara."


    Seth let out a coldugh.


    ''Hah, this woman must think that I''m going to say no. Well, guess what, I''m going to say yes! I''d like


    to see if she really dares to marry me.’


    "Very well, then.” A contented smile appeared on Brook''s face. "Since Lara is pregnant, then you


    should start preparing now and get married as soon as possible."

    "Okay, Uncle, you''re the doctor,” Seth replied calmly.


    Brook was satisfied, but Lara was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out of her sockets.


    ''Seth said yes? He said yes?!''
