Chapter 2

The lace underwear was stained with bodily fluids. The full cup size definitely didn't belong to the flat-chested heiress Scarlett Harper.

Meeting Scarlett's gaze that wanted to cut me into a thousand pieces, I calmly set down my wine glass.

My eyes showed none of the panic from my past life. Instead, I looked directly at the Harper family's son-in-law, Marcus Kane, and spoke.

"Mr. Kane, I went abroad to study at eighteen and only returned today after completing my studies."

"Today is the first time we've ever met. How could I possibly plant underwear in your jacket?"

"I'm afraid you had an affair and still weren't satisfied, so you kept your lover's underwear in your jacket to reminisce over it from time to time!"

My words were too blunt and explicit. All the guests stared at him in shock.

Marcus's face turned red as his thoughts were exposed, but he still defended himself.

"Nonsense! You're clearly one of the maternity nurses working at my house!"

"From your first day on the job, you kept making eyes at me. When I ignored you, you kept trying to seduce me!"

"Last night I was caught off guard when you pushed open my door and crawled into my bed, offering yourself to me."

"If I hadn't threatened you that my wife was right outside the door and I'd call her in to fire you if you didn't leave, you wouldn't have given up!"

Marcus's words made Scarlett frown slightly.

Ever since giving birth to the baby, she had been sleeping in a separate room from Marcus on the professional maternity team's recommendation.

Last night when she got up thirsty for water, she did hear noises when passing by Marcus's room.

Her sharp gaze immediately fell on me.

Seeing that Scarlett believed his words, Marcus continued to slander me with a pretentious air.

"I saw you were a woman trying to make a living as a maternity nurse, so I didn't want to expose you."

"I never expected you to be so vicious—failing to seduce me, you went straight to framing me! What a wicked heart!"

"My daughter absolutely cannot be left in the care of such a maternity nurse. She should be fired immediately!"

Marcus's words hit Scarlett's sore spot.

Scarlett immediately demanded of Nathaniel Harper, the patriarch.

"Nathaniel, this maternity nurse is too sinister. I'm afraid she's already done something harmful to the baby."

"We should bring out Shadow and interrogate her thoroughly until she confesses on her own!"

Nathaniel nodded. The next second, a huge iron cage was wheeled to the center of the banquet hall.

When the black cloth was removed, a hunting dog as tall as a person stared at me fixedly, letting out excited low growls.

The bodyguards opened the cage, preparing to stuff me inside.

The image of being torn to shreds by the vicious dog in my past life seemed to play before my eyes. I immediately spoke up.

"This underwear has the smell of breast milk on it. I'm not in my lactation period, so the clothing definitely isn't mine!"
