Chapter 293 The Lie Gets Exposed

Sasha took a deep breath and tried her best to look composed.

If Lucian learned the truth, all of her previous efforts would be put to waste.

She was filled with so much joy when Lucian recognized and acknowledged her.

As long as the child was recognized by Lucian as a member of the Zhan family, Sasha believed that her dreams might yet come true.

Confident in her acting skills, she took on a more relaxed expression after Michael spoke.

"Hey, Lucian, Amelia! If I had known that this was Michael's engagement party, I would've worn my sportswear." Sasha pouted her lips. She was the perfect image of calm.

Amelia and Lucian didn't say anything. Instead, it was Michael who smiled and said, "It doesn't matter what you wear. Anything's fine. I still think you're the perfect match for me!"

Sasha's face turned scarlet as she glared at Michael. She thought the words that came out of his mouth were pure nonsense.

"Little sister-in-law, please sit next to Lucian. I'll take this seat." Michael looked at Amelia with happiness in his eyes.

Amelia followed his request and went to sit beside Lucian. Once she'd settled, her husband took her hand in his.

Seeing this romantic gesture, Sasha's eyes were filled with jealousy. She gave Michael a more resentful look, believing that it was he who allowed this to happen because of his words.

"Hey, we're in love. Why are you so formal with me?" Sasha had cautiously moved her chair away from Michael's when the latter took his seat beside her.

Seeing her reaction, Michae

ture; she could only wish them well.

The days when Sasha stayed at SJ Garden were beginning to look like a bizarre dream.

"We can finally sigh with relief." Lucian heard Amelia whisper to Mark as she bent down to kiss the baby on the cheek.

"What are you talking about? You know I won't abandon you and the baby, right?" Lucian blurted out.

Amelia rolled her eyes at him and said, "That's because someone claimed responsibility for the child. If it weren't for Michael, there's no way we'd have known the truth."

Amelia thought it a little inappropriate given the gravity of what just happened, but she couldn't help but tease her husband.

With a serious look on his face though, Lucian explained, "Well, I've learned as much from my own investigation."

"Your investigation? I thought Michael's conscience drove him to confess." Michael was becoming more and more of a puzzle for Amelia to understand.

"But it wouldn't have been possible without his cooperation, too." Lucian smiled, but there was still a hint of disappointment in his eyes. "I went to check the surveillance video of that night. I saw that while Sasha helped me into the room, Michael was there, too."

They had been good friends since their university days abroad. Lucian couldn't believe that Michael would try to take advantage of him.

"Do you mean to say that what happened that night wasn't just because you were drunk, but because they planned it in advance?" Amelia's thoughts were racing.

Lucian nodded before telling Amelia the complete story.
