“When you were twelve years old, they didn’t just send ten people to kill you, right?”

Duke Eton suddenly understood and ordered Charles, “Arrest Emily for me!”

Emily had been eavesdropping from upstairs. When she realized that she had underestimated Nangong Nuannuan, she gritted her teeth. When she heard that Eton actually wanted to arrest her, she was so scared that her face turned pale. She quickly ran to her room as quietly as she could.

When Charles led his men to arrest Emily, Emily’s face was covered with grief and indignation.

“Eton, despite everything, I’m still your girlfriend—the woman who got pregnant for you! What right do you have to arrest me? Just because you think I have a connection with the people you’re talking about? Since you think there’s a connection, why don’t you investigate? If you investigate thoroughly, you’ll see that I have nothing to do with them!”

“Miss Emily, you were squatting behind that corner just now. You clearly heard what we all said. You know why my father wants to arrest you. Now, do you dare swear that you didn’t leak the secret? Do you dare swear that if you leaked the secret, you and your child will die on the operating table?” Nangong Nuannuan forced a question upon Emily with a cold smile on her face.

Emily was extremely scared. She did not want to swear, and she did not want her child to die. However, if she did not swear, they would not believe her and thus would arrest her.

In the face of life and death, Emily chose to betray her religion and beliefs and break away from the bodyguards. She raised her hand and swore, “I swear in the name of Jesus that if I was the one who leaked that information, my child and I will die on the operating table. Miss Sunny, will that be enough?”

“Of course… it’s not enough.”

When Nuannuan said those first two words, Emily’s expression relaxed—but when she heard her last three words, Emily got very upset again.

Her face was flushed and full of anger.

“Miss Sunny, what do you mean by that? I’ve already sworn. What else do you want me to do? Do you really want me to kill the life in my stomach to assure you that I’m innocent? Would that satisfy you?

“Miss Sunny, the child I’m carrying is Duke Eton’s blood. You’re only an adopted daughter. Even if your name is on the royal family’s genealogy, there’s no way to change the fact that you’re only an adopted daughter and not at all blood-related to the royal family.”

“Yes! I indeed have no blood relationship with the royal family, but the royal family has acknowledged me as the young lady of the Duke’s mansion, and engraved my name on the royal family’s tree. Miss Emily, have you forgotten that the child you’re carrying has not been acknowledged as a child of the royal family?

“Charles told me that you told my father that you cannot marry him and that you two will always only be lovers. You said that you’d raise the child well, so it doesn’t matter whether the royal family acknowledges them or not.”

“…” Emily, who was rendered speechless by Nangong Nuannuan, felt her face redden further. She could not find any words to refute Nuannuan.

“Even if the royal family won’t recognize him, he’s still the Duke’s only child!”

“Oh, but you clearly prize the acknowledgment of the royal family, since that’s what you were talking about just now when it came to me being the Duke’s daughter! You were talking about blood and the royal family, so that’s what I talked about too.”

Emily’s hands were trembling in fear from Nangong Nuannuan’s words. Facing the eloquent Nangong Nuannuan, she realized that her eloquence could really not compare.
