[Bonus chapter]Chapter 236 - She’s not pregnant?

Aria grabbed the understanding that Zayla's pregnancy might be faked since everything about her including her words had been fake so far.0

She never liked Zayla but after receiving a public embarrassment like this, she could not help feeling pity for her.

She pressed the fake bump and frowned a little.

Then she caressed the bump and her finger felt something strange so she moved her hand to the back and asked,

"Is it your underwear?"

Zayla was a little relieved, feeling that Aria did not detect it was a fake bump and responded,

"Yes."

It would be good for Aria to declare that the bump was indeed real.

Unfortunately, she did not expect what was coming.

"Then let's take it off to feel your real stomach. The underwear is in the way," Aria said surprised by how her calm suggestion sent Zayla into a state of hyperventilation.

She looked at her father lying unconsciously on the floor and knew that no one would speak for her.

Ah, how could Robin be so heartless towards her to subject her to such public humiliation? Swallowing her fears, she said to Aria,

"We are in the open."

At this juncture, she wished she had been nice to Aria when she had the chance, recalling how mean she was to her all the times she went to see Robin, for which reason Aria was equally mean to her.

With Robin being around, Aria was being nice but Zayla knew in her heart that the woman did not like her.

"But you still have your dress on. I only cut the middle and it even looks like a new fashion," Aria said jokingly but it wasn't funny to Zayla since her life and dignity were at stake.

Whereas Robin was growing impatient and annoyed by their little chit-chat and growled,

"Aria, do what you think is right. You don't need her permission."

Aria bobbed her head and peeled the fake bump, everywhere in the auditorium was silent.

The relief that poured on Sabrina was like a bucket of warm water and her sigh was heard by Devin since he sat next to her.

All this while, she has been worried for nothing.

She could not tell exactly how she was feeling but this was totally unexpected.

This was the reason why Robin insisted that if she could not stay to take care of Zayla, then she could leave.

Sabrina was so happy but could not even show it.

The fact that her twins would not have to share their father and Robin would have no reason to have Zayla close to him again were all thoughts that calmed her raging heart from before.

Both Cobby and the general were shocked about this revelation except for Devin, who had a broad smile on his face.

Lizzy and Matilda garnered the same shock as the media reps and everyone present.

"She's not pregnant?"

Lizzy was the one who asked after recovering from the shock and her voice was very audible due to how silent the auditorium turned out to be from before.

"It seems to me that it's faked," Aria said with satisfaction.

The bitch must go down for messing up her boss's life like this.

Robin might not be the best of character with women but the changes Aria saw in that aspect of his life for over a month now was nothing she ever saw before.

Zayla was trembling and her knees were so weak, they sent her to the floor, kneeling,

"Robin, I swear, I'm pregnant. I just have a nice stomach and the bump doesn't show," she lied again, knowing that the pregnancy has been her only hold on Robin and the only reason why he sent her to the villa in the first place and also chose her over Sabrina.

She was not expecting it when a slap sent her lying on the floor from her knees right beside her father, she screamed, crying her eyes out as Robin said,

"You think my asking you to have dinner with me that night was because I loved you? I drugged you and had your blood sample taken and here is the test result, Zayla," Robin brought out the result from his suit pocket.

This time, Sabrina felt no pity for Zayla when she was slapped since she was not pregnant.

Zayla turned ashen, as she held the test result in her hand with shaky hands, feeling like the fool she was by being played by the man she thought she was playing.

"You… you knew?" she stammered and asked, Robin beckoned to Aria to go, not wanting her to stand for long in her condition.

After she left, he asked Zayla,

"Why did you think that I cut off all your allowances?"

Zayla instantly felt that the diamonds might as well be in existence.

Since everything was being broadcast live, she was sure that even if she went to prison, she could still pass the information to Mara to find a way of getting her out in exchange for the real diamonds.

"Then, what about the diamonds?" She asked through tears, Robin smiled, acknowledging that Zayla was very smart in what she does and must have discerned that he intentionally gave her the fake diamonds.

He was well prepared for her.

"That was because I thought you were the one who saved my life. It was the reason why I did not take matters into my own hands and killed you when I found out that you were deceiving me?"

Zayla's breathing suddenly became faster, as Robin continued to explain in a mockery-laced tone,

"Or, did you think that I would not investigate when you kept refusing for me to go with you to antenatal or to touch your bump?" Robin asked, taking away the assumption that there was a connection to the diamond.

Whereas Cobby was confused. If the diamonds were indeed fake, then what about all the money Robin pumped into their trust fund?
