Chapter 1223 The Mastermind is Erin Anderson
Mrs. Murphy’s expression also changed, although she had already heard about this matter from Lizbeth, hearing it from Edmond carried a different weight.
But Mrs. Murphy, born into a prominent family, quickly made up her mind after a brief thought. She looked at Erin and smiled lightly, “Is that so, Ms. Erin? This is good news indeed.”
Erin’s lips curved into a slight smile as she nodded, “Yes.
However, Mrs. Murphy immediately added, “I’m also eager to have a grandchild. I’m delighted to hear this news. How about I take Ms. Erin to Murphy Hospital tomorrow for a comprehensive check-up? I need to take good care of you for the sake of my grandchild’s birth.”
“I think that’s a good idea,” Lizbeth chimed in, “And maybe Ms. Erin can get some prenatal nutrition supplements while she’s there.”
Upon hearing his mother and sister’s suggestions, Edmond thought they made sense. He turned to Erin and said, “Erin, why not follow my mother’s suggestion? I can accompany you to the hospital tomorrow.” Erin’s face had turned waxen and then pale in an instant. She forced a nervous smile and said, “It’s not necessary to go through all this trouble. It’s my body, and I’ll take care of it.”
I have experience. Mrs. Murphy smiled. “Getting a check-up is beneficial. After all, you’re a part of the Murphy family now, and we must take care of you!”
Erin suddenly felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.
Her heart was pounding. What should she do? What should she do now?
What could she do when there was no baby in her belly?
If she underwent the examination, would she survive after being exposed in Altney?
Even Edmond would question her?
This man wasn’t known for being lenient or forgiving!
Or…
Erin’s mind raced…
Maybe she could go for a urine test tomorrow. That way, she could ask a pregnant woman in the restroom for help.
After all, the “pregnancy” period was short, and an ultrasound wouldn’t reveal anything. The doctor would only ask her for a urine sample.
In a flash, Erin made up her mind. Her expression changed, and she feigned a bashful look, saying. “That works too. How about we go to the hospital tomorrow? That way, everyone can rest assured after the examination.”
Mrs. Murphy hadn’t expected this woman to agree. It seemed she was indeed pregnant.
The only question now was whose child she was carrying.

No matter, she would gradually extract that information from her.
Hmph, the truth will come out sooner or later!
Meanwhile, in the Imperial Capital.
Adrien received a call from Abel.
“Abel,” Adrien said, “Suddenly remember your brother here?”
“Lizbeth with you?” Abel asked directly.
Adrien was taken aback. Why did Abel, of all people, suddenly ask for Lizbeth?
Wait, wait, what’s going on here?
“Abel,” Adrien said seriously, “Are you sure you’re not making a mistake?”
“Of course not,” Abel replied, “I didn’t forget. Is Lizbeth with you? Did she go back to Altney with Edmond?”
“Yeah, Adrien grew even more confused, “Liz and Emma are friends. They even said their goodbyes to each other before leaving. But why are you suddenly concerned about Liz? Is it because she looks like Emma?”
“Why are you so talkative?” Abel sneered. “Who said I missed Lizbeth? Maybe I do have something to deal with?”
“What is going on?” Adrien felt puzzled.
He knew Abel wasn’t one to make casual jokes. If he said he had something to deal with, he definitely did.
And if he specifically asked about Lizbeth and Erin, it wasn’t something good. Adrien could sense it from
his tone.
“What’s the matter?” Adrien asked, “Just tell me straight!
“That woman named Erin, Abel’s voice turned icy, “Has she been with Edmond?”
“Abel,” Adrien was lounging on the sofa, but he sat up straight now, “Are you sure you’re not speaking in riddles? Tell me quickly, what’s happened with Lizbeth and Erin? Why are you mentioning both of them?!”
“The person responsible for the hit-and-run incident involving Lizbeth’s car has been apprehended,” Abel explained, “He confessed that Erin was behind it.”
“Erin… Adrien drew a sharp breath, “Her? It doesn’t make any sense.”
