It couldn't be that…
"He did tamper with something. If you don't trust me, you can get checked. After all, he didn't just mess with one thing, and he likely wouldn't have cleaned up the evidence until he confirmed you were pregnant.
"Even if you can't find anything, his phone's search history and browsing content can reflect his intentions. He might not have put his plan into action yet, but he did look into it ahead of time.
"He must've thought about whether to abandon the cat or sell it off somewhere else. If it was meant to be sold, to whom? If it were to be ditched, where? If you look closely, you'll find signs and proof that he calculated everything."
As Shannon's words faded away, Hubert's expression changed visibly, and his face paled in an instant.
Juliet's eyes reddened. Without saying a word, she abruptly stood up and rushed into the room. Hubert hurriedly chased after her.
The fixed camera on the tripod couldn't follow them, but their voices were soon heard in the livestream.
"How could you? When we got married, we agreed we'd wait before having kids! You promised, and that was the only reason I agreed to marry you!
"You said we were still young, and having a kid would hold us back. It's only been a few years, so why would you go back on your word?"
"Calm down, Juliet. I did promise you, but you heard what they said about how my mom and friends saw me.
"I had no choice. I wanted to talk to you, but every time I brought it up, you brushed it off…"
Juliet yelled, "Does that make it my fault now? You knew I didn't want this, yet you went ahead and did it behind my back! What he said about you trying to get rid of Gunner is true too, isn't it? You're absolutely insane for going that far just to have a child!"
Juliet's voice seemed shaken. She'd never been prepared for a child, and ever since she found out, she'd been torn about telling Hubert anything.
As she thought about it, she decided that perhaps the child was fated, and maybe she should just accept it.
But before she could make a decision, this was the truth she had to face. There was no way she could ever take it well.
Worried about both Juliet and the baby, Hubert initially tried to appease her gently. But as their argument escalated, his patience wore thin.
