âMaddox, I donât care either wayâitâs your great-grandchild sheâs carrying, not mine,â Franklin said, his tone deliberately ominous. âBut I have to say... when low blood sugar gets bad, it can be fatal, especially for a pregnant woman.â
A small crowd had gathered around them, including Franklinâs assistant, who suddenly shouted, âWhat kind of grandfather does this? His granddaughter-in-lawâs suffering from low blood sugar, and heâs still forcing her, a pregnant woman, to give blood? Isnât this family way too controlling?â
After yelling, the assistant quickly melted back into the crowd.
The onlookers erupted in outrage. âHey, old man, is this really your granddaughter-in-law? What kind of grandfather acts like this? Even if you want to confirm the pregnancy, do you have to be so ruthless?â
âSome people just donât treat their daughters-in-law like real people!â
With the crowd closing in, Maddoxâs face turned crimson. He lost his composure and slumped into his wheelchair. He was a man who cared deeply about his reputation, and with so many people pointing fingers, he had no choice but to give upâfor today.
âIâm not leaving Seaview City anytime soon. You might have dodged me today, but you canât hide forever,â he huffed, signaling for his assistant to wheel him away.
Nicole stomped her foot angrily. âAlicia, just you wait. Iâll see how long you can keep up this act.â
...
Mountaincrest City, hotel.
Tyrone stepped out of the hotel and glanced at his assistant. âDid the White family redo the paternity test?â
âReginald had three new tests done,â the assistant replied with a sigh, âand all of them show that Nicole really is his granddaughter.â
This time, it seemed theyâd found the right person.
Tyrone let out a cold chuckle. âJust because they did it three times doesnât mean Nicole is definitely Reginaldâs granddaughter. If anything, it proves the entire White family has already been taken over by Brandon and Jade.â
Nicole was an idiotâsheâd do anything Jade said. There was no way she was genuine. âIâll stay here in Mountaincrest City. You sneak back to Seaview City, get a sample of Nicoleâs hair, and take it personally to Harboridge City. Run a paternity test between her and the old man, but donât let Reginald tell anyoneânot his assistant, not the housekeeper, no one.â

ï¤Chapter 166 The assistant nodded. âUnderstood.â
Grandpa wanted him to marry Nicole? Well, heâd blow open this little charade.
Just then, Tyroneâs phone rang. It was Franklin. âTyrone, your little bunny... she really did have a blood sugar crash!â
âCut it out, just put her on,â Tyrone sighed, exasperated.
Franklin chuckled and handed the phone to Alicia.
Aliciaâs voice was small and apologetic. âTyrone... Iâm okay. Grandpa stormed offâhe looked absolutely furious.â
âIâm just glad youâre alright. Iâll have Franklin arrange a place for you to stay. Lay low for a few days. The old man wonât find you for a while, and Iâll handle everything when I get back.â Tyrone wanted Alicia to stay out of sight until heâd gathered proof that Nicole was a fraud.
âOkay...â Alicia trusted him.
âDonât be afraid,â Tyrone reassured her.
âIâm not... not really,â Alicia hesitated, unsure how to explain. If Maddox werenât Tyroneâs grandfather, sheâd have dealt with this herself. She couldâve just called the police...
âRemember, you donât have to put up with anything. Right now, youâre my wife. Even if itâs my grandfather, you donât have to let him push you around.
If anyone forces you to do something you donât want to do, you have every right to fight back. Even if itâs me. Do you understand? Itâs your right.â
Alicia squeezed the phone tighter. âSo... does that mean next time I can call the police?â
Tyroneâs voice warmed. âOf course you can.â
Suddenly, Alicia gagged on the other end of the line.
Her heart was racing. Maybe she really did have low blood sugar...
Tyroneâs tone turned anxious. âSweetheart... are you absolutely sure youâre not pregnant?â
