Was it Eltham, or perhaps Isaac?
The royal family announced immediately, confirming Brittany was indeed pregnant, and Eltham was the father. They hadn't gone public before because it was still early days.
Now, not only was the pregnancy official, but the wedding date was set too.
The news almost floored Yuri Lynette with shock.
Isaac hadn't expected Eltham to go this far, seemingly eager to claim a child as his own!
When the word spread, Piper wrecked her bedroom, fuming and stomping around in anger.
Before Mrs. Walker could even offer comfort, disaster struck the Walker family.
The Walkers had climbed the social ladder swiftly, their hands stained with secrets well-hidden, but now, those secrets were unearthed and fermenting scandal, forcing Jasper Walker to cooperate with a police investigation.
Piper knew this was Eltham's doing. Panicked, she thought of begging for mercy.
But it was too late!
The Walker Group's shares plummeted, and Piper found herself entangled in several lawsuits, taken in by the police for questioning.
The police station was the last place anyone wanted to be, especially under immense public scrutiny, the air heavy with an intimidating aura.
After several interrogations, Piper broke and spilled the beans.
The Walker family was on the brink of collapse.
Brittany got her hands on her phone; though it lacked a SIM card, she could still go online.
The internet was abuzz with news about her and the Walker family's downfall, a clear message from Eltham.
Brittany hadn't anticipated Eltham's ruthlessness; in just a few days, he had brought the Walker family to their knees, and if it were the Lynette family... she dared not think further.
Eltham showed up at the villa again, a week later, his wound nearly healed, returning to his usual gentle demeanor: "Feeling better?"
"Is the Walker family going bankrupt?"
"They shouldn't have touched you."
Eltham answered truthfully, "Don't worry, I won't let them threaten you."
Brittany, looking into his face, found herself at a loss for words.
"I've scheduled a prenatal checkup, I'll accompany you later."
Brittany cared about the child and agreed.
