As soon as Madam Quartley arrived, she went straight to the point. "Who does the baby in your womb belong to?"
Ruth said in a panic, "I don't know what baby you're talking about."
Ruth tugged the corner of her clothes, but how could she hide her baby bump from Madam Quartley's eyes?
It was Madama Quartley! She knew that Ruth was pregnant the moment she saw her.
There was a clear difference between the pregnant woman in front of her and the young girl she once knew.
Madam Quartley didn't want to waste her time with Ruth, so she immediately ordered her bodyguards to tie Ruth up.
"Let me go!" Ruth struggled. "Madam Quartley, you can't do this to me! I've already left Quartley palace! You can't tie me up like this!"
Madam Quartley said coldly, "I won't do anything to you, but I have to see who the father of the baby in your stomach is!"
Nashaland had imported the most advanced parent-child identification technology.
It didn't need to wait until the baby was born, all it needed to do was amniotic fluid for a paternity test. The accuracy of the test was 90%.
As soon as Ruth heard the results, her face turned pale.
On the way back to the Quartley palace.
Qiana seemed to be very uneasy. "Madam Quartley, how could it be possible that Ruth's baby belongs to Zorion? I, I thought she got it from another man. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have brought Zorion to see her."
Looking at Qiana blaming herself for doing something wrong, Madam Quartley comforted her and said, "If the baby in her stomach is really Zorion's, then Qiana, you have made a great contribution!"
Qiana was stunned.
Madam Quartley said, "I've been rather dissatisfied at Yuliana for not having given birth to a single child after all these years. However, Zorion likes Yuliana very much. She's a wonderful lady, but she has not had a baby. I can't do anything about it. If Zorion can have a child, it is a good thing regardless of the mother's identity."
Qiana seemed to understand what Madam
Quartley meant.
She hesitated and said, "Then, will the baby really be Zorion's?"
A streak of light flashed through Madam Quartley's eyes, she said, "We don't know yet. We can only wait until the result comes out."
Qiana didn't say anything.
When they arrived at the Quartley palace, Madam Quartley held Qiana's hand and said, "Qiana, remember not to tell Yuliana about what happened today."
Qiana nodded. "Don't worry, Madam. I understand. We can't make Yuliana sad. I won't say a word."
Madam Quartley nodded.
In addition to being afraid of Yuliana's reaction, she had another concern, but she kept it quiet from Qiana.
Hogan took a few days off.
He only returned to the Presidential Office that day.
When he was reporting to Tremaine, Hogan didn't look like he was doing well.
Tremaine asked straightforwardly.
Hogan sighed heavily. "Mr. Tremaine, just bringing it up is embarrassing. My great-grandson couldn't even get into university. It's shameful. I feel like hiding my face."
"Why couldn't he get into university?" Tremaine asked.
It was normal for children of regular citizens to fail to get into university, but it was surprising for a child of a high-ranking family like Hogan to be rejected from places of tertiary education.
