<h4>Chapter 249: Chapter 249: Dig Three Feet into the Ground to Find Kyohai</h4>


    Chloe Simpson really just wanted a simple and unremarkable life. Her emotions were sincere, and her words were earnest.


    From the very beginning, she didn’t want to get involved with the Duke Harington of the Capital Circle, nor did she want any entanglement with Alexander Johnson.


    She especially didn’t want to be pregnant with Alexander Johnson’s child, particrly now, during the Johnson Family’s and Wilson Family’s high-profile marriage alliance.


    She felt that even if she had ten lives, it wouldn’t be enough to cope with the consequences stirred by these two elite families lifting merely a finger.


    As for Alexander Johnson, hearing Chloe’s words and seeing her tear-filled red eyes, his immediate thought was that Chloe simply wanted to abort his child.


    If the child belonged to Lucas Hughes, Chloe would absolutely not act like this!


    She would undoubtedly keep the child!


    At the thought of this, rage surged inside him, like magma from a volcano about to erupt.


    "I told you, this is my child, and without my permission, no one is allowed to abort it!"


    His domineeringmand felt as though he were a devil emerging from hell, terrifying to behold.


    "You little brat! Are you thinking I can’t control you now?!"


    Alexander had finally pushed Soren Johnson to his limits. Furious, Soren grabbed the cane in his hand and swung it at him.


    "Dad! Please don’t! Let’s talk this through!" Gabrie Dyer pretended to shield Alexander, stepping in front of him to stop Soren.


    "Old man, what are you doing this for?"


    Next, the elderly matriarch also got up and tried to intervene.


    "Grandfather, please stop!"


    Selene Wilson watched the chaos unfold, seemingly delighted by the drama. While offering verbal "advice," she was subtly sowing discord behind the scenes.


    In the end, all the falloutnded squarely on the innocent Chloe Simpson.


    Soren’s cane struck Chloe unexpectedly, and she endured the blow forcefully, unable to react in time.


    Soon, her vision went dark, and she fainted on the spot.


    "Call the doctor! Get the family doctor here immediately!"


    The Johnson Family was already embroiled in turmoil, and if Chloe were sent to the hospital, they feared it would trend on social media yet again. The matriarch immediately instructed the butler to summon their usual family doctor instead.


    Besides, for a family like the Johnsons, their private doctors were far from ordinary—they were more than skilled enough to treat Chloe’s injuries.


    The doctor arrived shortly and conducted a full examination, checking her body, blood, and pulse in detail.


    "Doctor, how is she?"


    "Doctor, is she okay?"


    Soren continued sitting with his cane, while the matriarch and Alexander hurriedly stepped forward to ask.


    "Don’t worry, she’s fine. It was just a simple strike with a heavy object that caused her fainting." The doctor responded.


    Alexander asked again, "How about the child?"


    "The child? What child?" This question left the family doctor momentarily confused.


    Alexander pointed at Chloe: "The child in her belly!"


    "Who said she was pregnant?"


    The doctor furrowed his brow, quickly reviewing all the previous examination data and checking Chloe’s pulse once again.


    "All the data,bined with her pulse, indicates that she isn’t pregnant at all."


    Finally, the doctor responded confidently.


    "What? Not... pregnant."


    Alexander waspletely stunned now.


    Soren was equally shocked upon hearing the news, and even the matriarch and Gabrie were visibly surprised.


    Selene Wilson, after hearing this, immediately sent a message to Lucas Hughes on WeChat: [Lucas, didn’t you say everything was foolproof? Barely a few hours have passed, and it’s already blown up.]


    Soren snapped out of it, letting out a coldugh: "It seems someone is deliberately targeting the Johnson Family! Trending at number one on social media, and yet she isn’t pregnant. Someonee here—investigate this thoroughly! Investigate everything, even if it means digging up every inch of Kyohai!"


    Selene Wilson abruptly lifted her head and looked at Soren. Her palms tightened, and her heart sank with a dull thud.
