Chapter 166 Chapter 166 58 The girl froze, her voice dying mid-sentence. She whipped her head around and glared at Quinlyn. “What did you say? My belly is so big. How could it be fake?" "Of course, it could be fake," Jolie said, her voice cold. "You talk with your eyes all over the place, and you freeze when you're busted. Your heart pounds, and you breathe like you just sprinted. Those are classic signs of lying." She shrugged. "I study bio-psychology at Westwood University." Westwood University was a top-tier school. Everyone at the table perked up at that.
Larry spoke up, "We can check. I heard the cops have lie detector paper. Let's get Mr. Youngblood to bring sover." "That's a great idea. I'll call him," Stanley said, grabbing his phone.
Joseph thought for a second. "At this stage of pregnancy, we could do an amniocentesis to test the DNA. I'll get the equipment brought over." Before the girl could say anything, she watched in disbelief as everyone at the table sprang into action, treating her like a joke to pass the time.
To her horror, within five minutes, Bennett showed up, still in his uniform.
"What's the rush? The station is short-staffed, and I was on patrol nearby. Here's the lie detector paper. Do you have a new case? Need any help?" Bennett took off his hat, wiped his sweaty brow, and took a sip of his drink.
He looked around, but nothing seemed like a serious crscene.
At that moment, Claude quickly sat down, straightened his legs, placed his hands on his knees, and said in a very proper manner, "Mr. Youngblood, I think I've been scammed." Now, a police officer and a complainant were both there. After listening to the whole story, Bennett was speechless. He glanced at the young people at the table and felt like he'd been pranked for the first time.

"Lisa, right? If you say you're not lying, then cover and take the lie detector test," Bennett said, pulling out a strip of lie detector paper and pointing to the circular end. "Just place your thumb on it." Lisa, with her large belly, walked over reluctantly. Her forehead was sweaty, and she didn't know if it was from arguing or the heat. She looked at the paper with colorful lines, but couldn't understand it.
"Anyway, the baby is his..." she muttered, placing her hand on it, but inside, she was nervous.
"I have just one question. Is the baby in your stomach really Claude's?" asked Bennett.
It was the ssentence, only phrased as a question. Lisa instinctively opened her mouth and said, "Of course." Afterward, she kept telling herself, 'Don't be nervous. Don't be nervous.
"Alright, let go," Bennett said, pulling out the paper and looking at the indicator strip. His eyebrows raised. "Unfortunately, it's red. You're lying." What? Lisa was stunned. "No way. You guys are all in on this!" 1/3 27 Mar Chapter 166 ☐ 87%Ė +58 "Ma'am, I'm from the CrInvestigation Team. You can say whatever you want, but you can't make false accusations," Bennett said sternly, flashing his badge on the spot.
Lisa realized it was real and panicked. “Then the test must be inaccurate. There's no such thing as a lie detector paper in this world. I'm carrying a living being inside me. How can you say I'm lying?!" "That's why we have the equipment to test DNA," Joseph said. At that moment, several doctors and nurses in doctor's gowns walked in from the elevator. "The equipment and vehicle are downstairs, Mr. Wilson. We can start anytime," one of the doctors said.
Joseph nodded and smiled at Lisa. "Please." "I-I won't. You're trying to harm me," Lisa said, completely caught off guard. She thought, 'Who will conduct a lie detector test and amniocentesis in a restaurant?' Everyone at the table had lost interest in her lousy tricks..
Larry sneered, "This young lady probably reads too many , thinking she can just show up at a wealthy family's doorstep with a baby bump and claim kinship.
"We have so much money and access to top-tier resources. If we didn't have the technology to see through this, what's the difference between us and street vendors? You should just go hand get srest." What a naive college girl.
Those words shattered her last bit of hope. Lisa's face was drained of all colors, and she swayed on her feet before turning to leave and walking unsteadily.
"Wait," Quinlyn said, getting off her chair and walking up to Lisa. She handed Lisa a business card and looked at her large belly. "If you're in trouble, you can go there." Lisa looked down and saw that it was a welfare home. Her face stung with humiliation.
She slapped the card away forcefully. "I don't need your fake kindness!" Then she hurried toward the elevator, disappearing from view.
Quinlyn watched her leave and pursed her lips. "Don't worry about her. There are countless students every year who get pregnant without proper knowledge of hygiene and physiology. She probably just thought the timing matched and cto blackmail Mr. James," said Bennett.
He picked up the card from the floor.

Quinlyn's foundation focused on several areas, with the majority of its aid going to women and children. Once approved, their basic living needs were taken care of.
Everyone tried to lighten the mood at the table, worried that Quinlyn might be upset. Mandy held her face big kiss.
"Quinlyn, thank you. I almost lost my dad," she said.

Claude, on the other hand, felt both amused and embarrassed. He had to admit that, despite his wealth, he didn't have all the tricks that the rich kids had, because he cfrom a humble background. So he raised his glass and thanked everyone. "It's all my fault for not being careful enough. I'll be more cautious in the future," he said.
Joseph and the others thought it was just a normal occurrence and didn't take it too seriously.
11:30 Thu, 27 Mar Chapter 166 "If you really want to thank someone, thank Quinlyn. She was the one who pointed our Lisa was lying firm. By the way Quinlyn, how did you know?" they asked, curious.
"Well, it was just a feeling." Quinlyn said. She didn't have any solidevidence. She didn't know Lisa well. If draped, she'd probably feel the hard ashamed, unable to talk about it, or maybe even cry? But Lisa didn't. Instead, she acted as if she was talking about someone else's story, with confidence and righteness.
After hearing this, everyone understood. Bennett took the opportunity to say, "So, Quinlyn, you're naturally wired for criminal investigation." Everyone at the table rolled their eyes at him. They thought, Isn't it obvious that Quinlyn is good at everything? No need for him to advertise.
After finishing their meal, Quinlyn and Mandy went to ride the carousel Mandy got off after one round, still looking worried. In the end, she couldn't hold back and asked Quinlyn Quinign could you giveMrs. Suarez's contact information?" mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
