Chapter 59

Ryan's POV I ran through every possible scenario in my head, trying to understand Ivy Hart's audacious stunt at the jewelry show. Why there? Why now? My phone buzzed, cutting through the storm of my thoughts. Keith's name lit up the screen. I answered at once, putting it on speaker. "Sir," Keith reported briskly, "we've confirmed the pregnancy claim is completely fabricated. We located the doctor who issued the medical report—he's confessed to being paid off. No actual tests were conducted." I exhaled, tension easing just slightly. But then Keith continued, his tone darkening. "Also, there's something else you should know. We've traced several calls between Ms. Hart and your uncle over the past three weeks. The frequency and timing suggest they've been coordinating." "My uncle?" I repeated, a cold realization dawning. "You're certain?" "Yes, sir. Multiple calls, usually late at night. We're still tracking down their connection, but it appears they've been plotting something together."
