Evelyn sensed Amelia was deep in thought and seized the opportunity. "Miss Sterling, I report Miss Blackwood's daily activities to Mr. Sterling. He adjusts his strategies based on her movements and gives me new instructions. I can share these plans with you, so you can be prepared."

She paused briefly before continuing. "As for Mr. Sterling, it's best if you pretend to be unaware. Once this is over, your surprise will please him. He'll be happy knowing his efforts have secured your future."

Miriam found it easy to manipulate Amelia now that she understood her mindset.

To some extent, there was truth in her words.

However, the real mastermind behind these schemes was actually her, Amelia's biological mother.

She was determined to use every resource to protect her daughter's interests.

Even though Evelyn was a true Blackwood by blood, she was never meant to surpass Amelia.

A fierce resolve solidified in Miriam's eyes.

Her lies had successfully convinced Amelia.

Amelia was initially distressed by the news of Evelyn's pregnancy, but her mood improved after Miriam's reassurances.

"Alright, I'll play along and act like I don't know Jonathan is secretly helping me." Amelia ended the call with a satisfied smile and put her phone away. Seeing Amelia's eased demeanor, Miriam discreetly sighed in relief.

"Wait." Amelia seemed to remember something. "Have you noticed anything unusual about Evelyn lately?"

After a moment's thought, Miriam replied, "This morning, Evelyn went to the hospital's obstetrics department. It appears she's pregnant, but no one knows who the father is."

Amelia's eyes narrowed. "How long have you been following Evelyn? And you didn't know she's married?"

Miriam feigned shock; this was clearly new information to her.

"Married?" Miriam responded with disbelief. "And she's still shamelessly pursuing the founder of Aethelgard Industries?"

Amelia remained calm.

She was probably the only one who knew the secret that Evelyn was actually married to the founder of Aethelgard Industries.

She chose to keep this information to herself for now.

Revealing it could allow Evelyn to connect the dots.

Knowing her husband's true identity might make Evelyn even more resistant to a separation.

After a moment's thought, Amelia asked again. "Think carefully. Has Evelyn been unusually close to any man recently?"

Miriam paused, caught off guard. "Miss Sterling, are you suggesting Evelyn might be unfaithful? Could the child not be her husband's?"

Amelia stated with certainty, not dismissing the possibility, "From what I understand, her husband is indifferent to her. It's highly possible the child isn't his."

This left Miriam even more surprised.

She frowned, thoughtfully reviewing everything she had observed while secretly tailing Evelyn.

A moment later, she slowly shook her head.

"Evelyn spends most of her time handling her duties at Aethelgard Industries. She rarely goes out, commuting directly between work and home. I haven't seen her getting close to any men," Miriam said.
