Chapter 317
"| figured it out!" Liliana whispered sharply, "Even though I'm not pregnant, that sharp table corner could have
seriously hurt me. You better check again!"
"Alright, I'll run smore tests." The family doctor replied with a weary tone as the machines started
humming. Hogan quietly shut the door, feeling his heart pounding in his chest.
What had he just overheard? Liliana wasn't pregnant at all?
Then what was the deal with her supposed baby bump? Oh, right, there was no baby, so she must have lied
about being pregnant to trick Finnian.
"What's up with you?" Finnian called in, noticing Hogan standing at the door with a shocked expression.
Hogan shook his head, "Nothing, Finnian. I've got to go, something cup." Hogan hurried away, leaving
Finnian to frown at his friend's odd behavior but decided not to dwell on it.
Back home, Hogan tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep.
Liliana's pregnancy was a sham, a huge lie.
He vaguely knew about the situation between Liliana and Finnian. Finnian was not keen on settling down, and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttheir relationship was hardly what people would call romantic.
They had a one-night stand that resulted in Liliana's supposed pregnancy. Finnian didn't want the baby and
offered Liliana compensation, but she pleaded with him to keep it, and he reluctantly agreed.
So, their bond was built on the idea of having a child. Without it, Finnian and Liliana would likely have no ties at
all.
Remembering all this, Hogan sat up abruptly, eyes wide open.
Hogan wasn't the only one who couldn't sleep that night. Amara lay awake, tempted to call Elysia for updates.
But it was nearly one in the morning, so she texted instead, "How's it going?"
Elysia replied immediately, "Dorian and | had a huge fight. We're not speaking to each other now."
"| thought about it tonight, maybe we should just end it rather than keep fighting. But we can't really divorce."
"Since we got married, the Hawke Group and the Moon Group have

They're just getting started, and a divorce would ruin everything." s
"Forcing a divorce would be possible, but both the Hawke and Moon families would suffer greatly."
Elysia cared little about the Hawke family's losses, but she was concerned about
the Moon family, so she felt stuck.
Amara asked, "So what's your plan?"
"Just going to let it be. I'm

"I know."
Amara put away her phone, mentally cursing Dorian, and inevitably thought of Finnian.
What was Finnian doing now? Was he still with Liliana? Was Liliana okay?
As if on cue, her phone buzzed with a
