Chapter 206 I'm Here to Congratulate You
The internet was buzzing with news about Kelly, dragging the Montgomery family into the chaos.
The live stream was still on, so everyone knew Kelly was pregnant with Ryan's child.
Ryan was livid. "Kelly, turn off the live stream now!"
Kelly looked shocked. "What?! It's still live? I had no idea."
"Are you secretly live-streaming? That's too much. Ryan, I swear I didn't know. Turn it off now!" Kelly played the victim, but Ryan wasn't buying it anymore.
He couldn't trust Kelly. How could he have been so blind to her deceit before? Her bad acting—how had she fooled him for so long?
Before, Ryan felt sorry for Kelly when she acted vulnerable. Now, he just felt disgusted, seeing through her schemes.
Kelly said, "Ryan, I know about your engagement to Grace. Don't worry, even though I'm pregnant, I won't cling to you or ruin your family. I'll raise this child alone. You don't need to come looking for me. I called because you deserved to know."
She hung up, but the live stream was still on.
In the video, Kelly sat on the bed, hugging her knees and crying, looking pitiful.
But Ryan only felt hate. Did his father know about this? If he found out, Ryan would be in big trouble.
Soon, the live stream was shut down, and Kelly had gained a lot of attention.
Now, everyone knew Kelly was pregnant, and she pretended not to know about the live stream, making it seem like an accidental leak.
Kelly claimed she didn't want Ryan to be responsible and just wanted to raise the child alone, playing the victim.
If anything happened to her or the child, people would definitely suspect the Montgomery family.
For the first time, Ryan felt so frustrated. 'Kelly, that bitch!' he cursed inwardly.
Meanwhile, Angela was still unsatisfied after the live stream ended.
"Why did it end so soon? Kelly is really something else, even worse than Madison. What will the Montgomery family do now? Can't Ryan see what kind of person Kelly is?" Angela asked.
Grace shook her head. She didn't know what Ryan would think, but it didn't matter.
"But why have the netizens suddenly turned so level-headed? Why are they rallying behind you and condemning Kelly?" Angela was curious.
Grace said, "I hired online trolls, of course, they support me."
"What? You even know how to hire online trolls? Awesome, Grace. You've really figured out the rules of the entertainment industry."
Grace said, "If Kelly can do that, why can't I? I wanted to blow this up as much as possible."
"So you planned all this in advance. Grace, you're winning me over more and more!"
Angela felt satisfied now. Watching Grace being bullied before had filled her with a sense of injustice, and now seeing the tables turn was incredibly gratifying.
Grace's retaliation was stunning. Despite her usual demeanor of a harmless little rabbit, she had a treasure trove of schemes up her sleeve.
Grace and Xavier were a perfect match. If they got together, would anyone else stand a chance?
"It wasn't exactly planned in advance. If Kelly hadn't done this, my online trolls would have been useless."
Grace had to thank Victor for providing the trolls. When she asked for his help, he agreed immediately.
"So what's next? What's your plan?" Angela asked.
"Break off the engagement," Grace replied.
This time, she didn't think Patrick would have any excuses. Could he still refuse to break it off?
"Let's go, let's do it now!" Angela was all in. She grabbed the car keys and pulled Grace along.
"Wait, we need to hold on a bit," Grace stopped her.
Angela was impatient. "Wait for what?"
"Let me put on some makeup. If I show up like this, the Montgomery family might mistake me for a stray cat and shoo me away," Grace joked.
Angela facepalmed. Despite her witty remark, Grace hadn't even started on her makeup yet and looked like her usual self.
Grace, skilled in makeup since childhood, quickly finished her routine in just a few minutes.
When they arrived at the Montgomery Manor, only Wendy was home. Ryan's mother, Amy, was out for a beauty treatment with friends.
Seeing Grace, Wendy felt unlucky. "What are you doing here again? Haven't you caused enough trouble for my family?"
Grace smiled, looking pleased. "I'm here to congratulate you."
"Congratulate me? Are you crazy?" Wendy found Grace annoying.
Grace had been using every trick to get into the Montgomery family, putting pressure on Ryan and Kelly.
Wendy preferred Kelly for her charm and ability to appease others. Kelly had previously taken Wendy out, showering her with compliments and orchestrating the perfect balance of influence.
"You're going to be an aunt. Of course, I have to congratulate you," Grace explained.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You're the one who's going to be an aunt!" Wendy found Grace's words absurd.
To be an aunt, her brother would need to have a child, and Ryan didn't have any children.
Suddenly, Wendy's eyes widened. Could it be that Ryan...
"Don't tell me you live under a rock? The whole internet's buzzing about it, and you're the only one left in the dark," Grace mocked.
"What?" Wendy quickly picked up her phone and saw the news online.
Kelly was pregnant? With Ryan's child!
"Grace, this is your doing, isn't it?" Wendy glared at Grace, feeling this had something to do with her.
"What did I do? Did I force them to sleep together, or did I put the child in Kelly's belly?" Grace countered.
"You!" Wendy was at a loss for words.
"Ryan couldn't control himself. He deserves it!"
"Grace! Don't go too far. I won't let you talk about Ryan like that. I'll sue you!" Wendy was so angry she wanted to bite Grace.
"If he can't handle criticism, he better rein it in. Trust me, what I'm saying is mild compared to the online chatter. Planning to sue every keyboard warrior?" Grace retorted.
Wendy was furious and speechless.
Grace stood up. "Since Mr. Patrick Montgomery isn't here, I'll leave. Only he can make decisions in the Montgomery family. I can only discuss certain matters with him."
Wendy was even angrier. What did Grace mean? That she and Ryan had no authority?
Who did Grace think she was looking down on? Why was Grace so arrogant?
