Chapter 204 The Cat Is Out Of The Bag


    "You two need to stop quarrelling right now. Don''t make a scene here, " Aron said to his grandparents


    calmly, who were arguing with each other. "Grandma, you don''t have to worry about anything. I assure


    you that I won''t marry Becky."


    Joanna was relieved by Aron''s words. ''If Aron marries Becky because of me, I will have to carry the

    guilt for the rest of my life. Even after death, I won''t find sce, '' thought Joanna.


    "Aron, what do you mean? I am totally confused, " asked his grandpa. Mike frowned, and asked him,


    "Haven''t you already given your consent to marry Becky? Now you''re telling me that you are not going


    to go through with it. Don''t you know that your wedding invitations have already been sent out. Do you


    want to make aughingstock of me?" Mike felt anxious and irritated at Aron.


    "Are you muddle-headed? You are only thinking of your prestige and social status but you''re not taking


    Aron''s happiness into consideration. Have you considered the consequences of Aron marrying a


    woman he does not love? How do you expect him to spend the rest of his life together with such a


    person? Do you think he will be happy?" Joanna scolded Mike.


    Mike was puzzled and confused at what was going on. Angrily, Mike asked Joanna, "Are you being


    serious Joanna? Aron is still young, so I can understand that he may be bewildered sometimes, but


    you are experienced enough. What excuse do you have for acting the same way as him? Do you really


    hope for Aron to get married to I?"


    "I think I is a good girl. What''s wrong with her?" Joanna replied calmly. Mike waspletely


    shocked to hear thise from Joanna, since she had an abrupt about-turn over I in such a short


    span of time.


    Joanna hated I very much at first, but now she said that I was a good girl. ''What happened to


    her?'' Mike wondered.


    "Grandma..." Aron furrowed his eye-brows. Hearing what Joanna had said, gave him the answer to


    what he was looking for. He believed that his conjecture on the matter was urate.


    "It was Becky who pushed you down, right?" Aron asked directly. He would have waited until Joanna


    had rested before talking about it, but now that she had mentioned it, Aron wanted to get to the bottom


    of the matter, sooner rather thanter.


    He knew I well enough. Although Mandy said that they weren''t going to press any charges against


    I, Aron understood that I must have been upset for being treated unjustly. I must be unhappy,


    because she was innocent of the false usations made against her.


    The more Aron thought about it, the more guilty he felt for I. But now it was time for him to prove her


    innocence to the public.


    "Don''t talk nonsense here! I can see that you''ve been brainwashed by that woman. But how can you be


    so thoughtless? Have you gone mad?" Mike scolded Aron harshly. "How would a girl like Becky hurt


    your grandmother?" Mike asked furiously.


    "Why are you asking me this?" Joanna didn''t reply to him directly but asked him for justifications since


    she wanted to know Aron''s opinion on this.


    Actually, she was still reluctant to ferret out the truth, after all Becky had taken care of them for a long


    time. It was an undeniable fact.


    If Aron trusted I unconditionally, Joanna was determined to hide this truth from him.


    "Grandma, I believe that I would not hurt you. It doesn''t matter whether you like her or not; she is the


    only woman I love in this world. I had been with her for a long time and even though she found me in


    bed with Becky, she just left silently, without saying anything. If she really was a heartless person, she


    wouldn''t have waited four years to exact her revenge on me. Grandma, please try to remember. Did


    Becky ask you to find I that day?"


    Joanna tried to recall the scenes from that day. She furrowed her brows as soon as she came to a


    sudden realization. Although, Becky didn''t directly encourage her to find I, she had already nned


    on tricking Joanna into looking for I, before she picked her up for lunch.


    Joanna frowned at the thought of this, while Aron read the expression on her face and figured out what


    had happened that day in I''s office.


    "To be frank, I have never suspected I since the day you were in the hospital, unconscious. Dr.


    Zhao, the doctor who performed the operation on you, is an acquaintance of I''s friend. He is a highly


    sought after doctor and it would have been beyond my capabilities to have him undertake your


    operation, if not for I. Do you think she would help me find Dr. Zhao, if she didn''t care about you?


    Mike had found himself at a loss for words, as Aron''s justifications now started to sound reasonable.


    He furrowed his brows into a crease, because he still couldn''t ept the truth. How could Becky hurt


    Joanna so deliberately? "How could it be possible? Becky has been here to take care of your grandma


    ever since the ident. She has always been so kind and considerate. How could she do such a


    thing?" Mike tried to speak for Becky.


    "Grandpa, I know that Becky is always here to take care of grandma, but it is not because she cares


    about her health. The real reason is that she is afraid that grandma will expose her lies once she wakes


    up, " Aron exined, with a bitter smile on his face.


    Mike frowned silently and reluctantly, as he found it difficult to swallow the bitter truth.


    "Aron... Are you sure? You are not kidding me, right?" Joanna looked serious and solemn as well.


    "Grandma, when you were unconscious, Becky insisted that it was I who hurt you that day and


    absolved herself from any responsibility. But what makes me even more angry is that she pretends to


    be magnanimous and said that she wouldn''t press any charges against I. Moreover, she even


    disrespected I by asking her to be her bridesmaid. Do you still think she is a kind person? What a


    vicious woman! I''ve asked grandpa not to tell Becky that you are awake, because I am afraid that she


    will cook up some new problems once she gets the news." Both Joanna and Mike turned silent from


    the shock of what they had just heard from Aron.


    "But... But your wedding invitations have been sent out to our rtives and friends. If you are going to


    cancel this wedding..." Mike stopped mid-sentence. He was still skeptical about the whole situation


    because he believed that Becky would never do such a thing.


    "Mike, why are you still concerned about your social standing right now? Isn''t Aron''s happiness more


    important to you?" Joanna tried to persuade Mike to be clear-headed. "No matter who Aron decides to


    get married to, it won''t be Becky."


    Joanna recalled the scenes that took ce in I''s office that day. Becky was so ashamed and


    humiliated at what I had said to her that she lost control of herself in anger and pushed down


    Joanna abruptly.


    "I have onest thing to ask you, " Joanna got serious and said to Aron, "I want to know if Becky was


    really pregnant four years ago. Tell me, Aron."


    Mike got even more furious after hearing this.


    Now that Joanna had been aware of it, Aron decided not to hide the truth from them anymore. He had


    to tell them the whole story clearly because he wanted to get rid of Becky and their fictitious wedding as


    soon as possible.


    "Grandpa, do you remember the other day when you asked me if I had been with Becky before?


    Although I told you the truth, I didn''t tell you the whole story. The day I found myself lying in bed with


    Becky, I went to the hospital for a physical examination. The doctor found a few overpowering drug


    traces in my body. And since then I began to suspect that it was Becky who had meticulously nned


    everything all along. I still have the medical report with me and if you want to have a look, I can show it


    to you at any time, " said Aron.


    He paused for a moment and then went on, "I wanted toe back four years ago when grandma was


    getting better, but as soon as Becky found out that I was nning on returning, she told me that she


    was pregnant, out of the blue. However, after our confrontation, she had an inexplicable miscarriage. I


    didn''t say anything even though I was doubtful at the time, because I didn''t think she would dare to joke


    about such matters.


    I even felt sorry for her during that time, so I decided not to return and stayed abroad instead. But then


    it felt strange that she didn''t look upset or remorseful after her miscarriage. And ever since then, I


    doubted whether she was really pregnant or not, " exined Aron.
