As soon as the phone was connected, Mitchel’s voice rang out.

"Does Theodore know that you are pregnant?" he asked directly.

Ariana was shocked by the question and asked confusedly, "Why did you ask that?"

Mitchel kept silent for a second before explaining, “My computer was hacked a few days ago, and all your medical records were copied, including your pregnancy test report."

Ariana was flustered. She instantly blurted out to Mitchel, "What? Are you sure you didn't get it wrong? Maybe it's just a coincidence. These days, I'm sure Theodore isn't aware of the fact that I'm pregnant."

He was silent for a moment. After glancing at his screen and typing something on his keyboard, he admitted, "You're right. I don't have conclusive evidence, so I can't say for certain."

After a pause, he reminded her, “But you don't have much time. It's best if you make a decision as soon as possible.”

Ariana mulled it over, endless thoughts racing through her mind.

Was it truly Theodore? Had he just pretended to be calm?

Or was it about others relative to Theodore? Was it possible that it was an enemy?

The more Ariana considered it, the more confused she became.

At this moment, Sonia suddenly rushed over with an anxious expression, grabbed her by the arm, and yanked her out of the room.

“Hurry up. I caught wind that someone exposed your marriage with Theodore and the surrogacy. A bunch of reporters are heading over here right now. You should go now!"

Sonia hastily dragged her toward the exit to leave. However, several minivans screeched to a halt near them. In an instant, a swarm of paparazzi with microphones and flashing cameras exited the vans and rushed toward Ariana.

Sonia grabbed Ariana in an attempt to escape, but she was pushed aside and swallowed by the crowd.

“Miss Edwards, rumor has it that you married Theodore for surrogacy. Are you pregnant?"

“Miss Edwards. What is your opinion on surrogacy? Do you think it's humane?"

“Miss Edwards, as a surrogate mother, do you have any emotional connection with Mr. Anderson?"

Ariana's mind was already a flurry of questions, and now strangers were flinging even more at her.

“Did you agree to the surrogacy for money? If you have undergone surrogacy for money, are you willing to do it for anyone?"
