He grabbed Beth's arm, ready to throw her out.
Tears instantly spilled down Beth's cheeks.
"Why are you yelling at me? You used to be so good to me!"
"I'm pregnant! I'm just afraid that having nightmares might hurt the baby!"
Lewis froze mid-motion.
My mother-in-law rushed over to steady Beth.
"Sweetheart, why didn't you tell us you were pregnant? Did we scare you just now?"
It clicked instantly—I knew exactly whose child she was carrying.
"Ever since I got pregnant, I've been having nightmares. The doctor said it might be because I've been alone too much. I just wanted Lewis to keep me company. When I was little and scared of the dark, he was always the one who protected me."
Lewis's face darkened, but he eventually walked over to me.
"Jill, Beth is pregnant. We can't be hard on her."
"I'm just sitting by the bed to keep her company. I won't do anything inappropriate."
My voice was cold. "If you stay with her tonight, you can kiss the company goodbye."
"Jill Fox!"
My mother-in-law shot to her feet, jabbing a finger in my face.
"Give you an inch and you think you're somebody! This is my house. You're my son's woman. Just because he's been good to you doesn't mean you can walk all over the Whitney family!"
"Son, ignore her!"
She ushered Lewis and Beth into the bedroom.
"It's marital property anyway. So what if she takes the company? She'd still have to split the money with you."
Beth followed them inside. Before closing the door, she shot me a smile—its meaning unmistakable.
The rest of the Whitneys retreated to their rooms.
I pulled out my phone. The livestream had crossed a hundred thousand viewers.
[Holy shit, this is insane.]
[So this streamer is not only a homewrecker, but she's playing "kissing cousins" with the cheater right in front of his wife?]
I carried my phone toward the bedroom.
Through the door came the rustle of clothes being shed.
"Honey, did you miss me?"
"You little minx—you're still pregnant. Don't tempt me."
"Once you have the baby, I'll find an excuse to divorce Jill!"
Beth laughed loudly. "Will she really give you half her assets?"
"Of course. I'll tell her the family forced me to divorce her because she couldn't have children. She'll feel guilty and compensate me."
"Speaking of which, those birth control pills you gave me really worked. All this time, and Jill's stomach hasn't shown a single sign."
The comments exploded.
Half of them were getting filtered for profanity.
I shoved the door open and aimed the camera at the two bodies tangled on the bed.
"Smile for the camera."
