Chapter 1222 Plans to Marry Erin
“All of that is in the past, Lizbeth sniffled, “After I get married, I plan to take Adrien to the countryside. over there and pay our respects to my foster parents. After all, they raised me.”
“Well, you’re rarely so thoughtful,” Mrs. Murphy wiped her eyes with a sigh, her voice tinged with bitterness, “If only Evelyn had half your sensibility, your father and I would be relieved. She’s been quite the troublemaker, causing havoc for over twenty years!”
“Let’s forget about her!” Lizbeth served her parents some food, “Let’s just forget about anything that makes us unhappy.”
“It’s us who spoiled her from a young age, Mrs. Murphy sniffled, expressing deep regret, “Indulging her so much that she lost touch with reality, causing trouble time and time again. Now, look at the mess she’s in. It’s distressing for me, after all, she’s been my daughter for over twenty years. Imagine if she had been as sensible as you, staying by our side as you do. I only have two daughters. Sob-”
Paul put down his chopsticks and let out a sigh.
Lizbeth picked up a tissue to wipe her mother’s tears..
In the meantime, there was a “clatter” as Erin dropped her chopsticks.
Edmond quickly helped her pick them up, whispering, I’ll get a new pair from the kitchen.”
“Okay,” Erin nodded, her face somewhat pale and flustered.
Paul spoke, “If Evelyn had been more sensible, hadn’t caused all that chaos, and hadn’t provoked the Ryker family, I wouldn’t have had to kick her out of the Murphy family. Perhaps she wouldn’t have ended. this.”

“Alas, Mrs. Murphy sighed, “In the end, her arrogance led to her downfall. We’re also to blame for not raising her properly.”
Erin lowered her head, a cold glint in her eyes as she glared at Mrs. Murphy from beneath her false lashes, thinking bitterly, “It’s not that you failed to raise me properly, it’s that you pushed me to this point! Otherwise, would I be in this state, neither alive nor dead? Murphy family, I’ll make sure to settle this score with you! Just wait, every single one of you!”
“Dad, Mom,” Edmond didn’t know what Erin was plotting at the moment. He just took advantage of everyone being present to speak up. “There’s something I want to discuss with you.”
“Sure,” Paul nodded, “Is it about the business matter in Struyria?”
“No,” Edmond said, “Dad knows that the Murphy family’s business in Struyria is currently stable.”
“We should thank the Ryker family for letting us off the hook, Paul’s expression turned serious, “And of course, you played a role in that, Edm.”
“Thank you for acknowledging that, Dad, Edmond said, “But what I want to talk about now isn’t related to business. It’s about Erin and me.”

“I plan to marry Erin,” Edmond continued, “right after Liz gets married.”
Mrs. Murphy’s gaze snapped over, her expression somewhat stern, “Edm, marriage is no trivial matter. Why didn’t you discuss this with your parents first? Who is Miss Erin, and where does she come from? Your father and I know nothing about her!”
“Mom, Dad,” Edmond said calmly, “How much of my life have you been involved in during the years I was abroad? Why are you getting involved now?”
“Is that how you speak?” Paul’s voice grew stern, “You were off enjoying yourself overseas. What business did your mother and I have with that? Now you’re bringing a young lady into the Murphy family, potentially the future mother of your child. Can we afford to be careless about this?”
“As it happens,” Edmond said, “Erin is already pregnant. She’s going to be the mother of your Paul.””
Erin lowered her head, feigning shyness.
Though her belly was empty, she secretly congratulated herself on this clever lie.

As long as she could marry Edmond and become the rightful Lady of the Murphy family, what was a little pregnancy to her?
