My Husband and Brother-in-law's First Love is the Same Person

I didn't see Matt when I woke up.

Monica handed me a bowl of warm water.

"Ashley, you didn't have to risk the child like this," Monica looked at me with a pained expression.

"Monica, you taught me that you have to give up something to gain something. Besides, I know what I'm doing. This child is important."

I replied as I took the bowl from her and started drinking.

"By the way, where's Matt?" I asked Monica.

She looked at me with a hint of sorrow in her eyes and sighed, "He's with Jane. Yesterday, they were caught in a photo that looked like they were kissing. Today, you caused a scene at the Scott Group's and got sent to the hospital. Jane has been exposed on the internet."

I put down the bowl and asked, "Does Mr. Ben Scott know about this?"

"He does, but it's just a scandal involving his grandchildren. The impact on the stock price and bidding is still under control," she replied.

"Monica, I think we should carry out the next step of the plan."

In the afternoon, Monica took me back to the villa, where my in-laws were also present.

When I saw my mother-in-law Rena sitting on the couch, I ran over and hugged her waist, crying.

"Mom, Matt cheated on me. I'm still carrying his child. How could he do this?" I sobbed.

"I remember when we were traveling abroad, I even took a bullet for him."

Back then, when Matt and I had just gotten married, he said he wanted to take me to France for a trip.

It was common knowledge that it was because Jane was studying there, and his parents wouldn't allow him to visit her alone.

So, he had to bring along his newlywed wife, me, to make the visit seem legitimate.

However, as soon as we arrived in France, we encountered a robbery, and the robber fired a shot at Matt.

I quickly pulled him away and took the bullet for him.

I was rushed to the nearest hospital and underwent three days and nights of emergency treatment, followed by three months of recovery back in our home country.

After that incident, Matt and I quickly grew closer.

Everyone thought he had forgotten about Jane, and was peacefully settling down at home.

"Ashley, you're pregnant now. Don't get too excited." Rena patted me on the shoulder.

"Ashley, what happened today was indeed Matt's fault. I've already asked Jacob to handle the public opinion. From now on, I'll handle our family matters behind closed doors, so as not to cause a stir."

My father-in-law, Joey, said in an authoritative tone as he sat on the sofa.

"Monica, keep an eye on Ashley and don't let her make a scene. It's not just a critical time for the Scott Group's bidding, but also a new phase in the cooperation between the Scott family and the Brooks family."

"Okay, Dad, I understand. I'll take good care of Ashley. But this time, Matt was indeed in the wrong."

"I know, Matt did overstep this time. So, in a few days, you will take over the bidding work with Jacob."

I cried in Rena's arms, feeling overwhelmed. I thought Joey was too stingy. I almost had a miscarriage because of Matt, yet he didn't face any consequences, only a cooperation with the Brooks family. But as long as Monica could be involved in the bidding, it would be fine.

As expected, within 24 hours, all the negative publicity about Matt had been cleaned up.

The explanation given to the public about Matt and Jane's relationship was that they had been childhood friends, and the kissing photo was a result of the angle of the shot.

During this time, Matt didn't even call me to explain.

I felt a sense of relief.
