As a public figure, he’d always been open about his family ties. To the Wilson family. Trevor was the face they showed to the world, and thanks to his fame, he’d brought the family plenty of perks over the years.
But now that his image was tarnished, the Wilson Group would take a hit.
In the group chat, his parents and brother were demanding answers. Trevor carefully crafted his response.
Trevor: [I didn’t know she was pregnant. It was an acciderit. It’s not a big deal. As long as Sophia cooperates, we’ll just pretend in front of the public for a while. Worst case, we raise the child.]
He’d already thought it through. If it really came down to it, he’d give Sophia a sum of money and raise the kid himself. The Wilson family could afford to raise a child.
This wouldn’t really affect him much. He could lay low for a bit, do some charity work, and buy some positive trending topics. And eventually, everyone would forget this mess.
Alice: [That’s easy for you to say. Sophia planned this. Otherwise, why wait until her fourth month to show up?]
Bryan: [You said yourself you need Sophia to cooperate. What if she doesn’t play along?]
Ronald: [First, calm Sophia down. Then find out who’s behind this. Someone’s targeting the Wilson family. Trevor, keep a low profile for now.]
Trevor: [I’m already handling it.]
Meanwhile, in a van near the award venue, Sophia was anxiously peeking out the window, waiting for the reporters and fans to leave.
“Why won’t you let me go out?” Sophia grumbled.
This was the peak of the scandal, but Aubree didn’t let Sophia show herself in public. If she stepped out now and played the victim, maybe Trevor would come crawling back, begging to marry her.
Aubree saw through her thoughts and gave her a cold glance. “You think Trevor is that easy to deal with? Do you think the Wilson family are pushovers?”
Sophia suddenly felt a pang of anxiety.
“After you just pulled this stunt, what do you think the Wilson family wants most right now?” Aubree asked.
Sophia was momentarily stunned.
“They want to find you,” Aubree said flatly.
She continued, “If you fall into Trevor’s hands, he might give you some money and have you publicly clean up his image. Once the child is born, he’ll play the loving father. As for you, the scheming woman who tried to climb into wealth with a baby, do you think the public will care?”
