Oops! My Secret Baby Is Caught By His Top-Lawyer Daddy! Novel

---- Had Clara really just done that in front of everyone? Was she out of her mind? Luckily the pool wasn't deep, and Brooklyn knew how to swim. After flailing a few times, she managed to stand up, water dripping everywhere. She was furious. "Clara! What is wrong with you? I forgave you the first time, and you do it again?!" It was still early spring, and the night air was chilly. Falling into the pool was no small punishment. Logan's expression darkened. "Clara, I told you to let it go. What are you doing?" Clara's smile deepened. "I'm demonstrating something.

If I was standing here and pushed her shoulder from behind, she should've fallen forward into the pool, right? So why did she say she fell to the left?" Olivia couldn't help it-she burst out laughing. "Maybe Brooklyn knows how to fly." Brooklyn's face turned red. "It was chaotic, okay? I might've remembered wrong! But it was just the two of us-if it wasn't you, who else could've pushed me? A ghost?" "Shh." Clara bent down slightly so they were eye to eye, putting a finger to her lips. "Don't go blaming ghosts ---- for your dirty little lies.

They're a lot more innocent than you." Brooklyn froze. Clara tilted her head toward a large tree beside the lounge chair and said softly, "Want to know a secret? There's a security camera right there." Everyone turned to look. Sure enough, a small black camera was hidden against the dark bark, nearly impossible to spot at a glance. Brooklyn's face drained of color. "That's impossible!" She'd been in this garden plenty of times before and had checked-there were no cameras here. Before she could say more, a servant stepped forward and said to Logan, "Yes, sir.

That camera was just installed recently. We haven't had a chance to inform you yet." Clara walked up to the pool's edge, looking down at Brooklyn with calm amusement. "So? Should we pull the footage? To use as proof that I attacked you?" Olivia crossed her arms and added, "Or maybe we'll use it as proof that you falsely accused Clara. She's the wife of the Edenfield Group's chairman. Accusing her of assault could get messy." ---- Brooklyn's face turned as white as paper. Her whole body was soaked, her teeth chattering from the cold. Wet hair clung to her face, her makeup smeared.

She looked pitiful. And for her, nothing was more terrifying than having her bare face exposed. There she was, standing alone in the pool-her glamour completely stripped away. No trace of the elegant movie star she usually was. Clara tilted her head with a faint smile. "Honestly, I'm starting to wonder-how did someone with your acting skills ever win Best Actress? And with that level of intelligence, who thought calling you a 'genius' was a good idea?" With that, she turned toward Aaron, who had been. standing off to the side watching the show, hands in his pockets. She gave his arm a pinch.

"You think this is funny?" Aaron had been holding his laughter in for too long. The moment she pinched him, he lost it completely, bursting out laughing. Olivia and Tristan followed suit, cracking up. Even Logan couldn't hold it back anymore. He clutched his stomach, laughing. "Clara, you've got Sherlock ---- Holmes living in you!" Once the host started laughing, the rest of the guests relaxed too. The tension broke, and soon the entire crowd was joking and laughing again. Caspian laughed so hard he nearly doubled over. "Oh man, my stomach hurts!

No wonder Aaron listens to his wife-Clara's amazing! If I weren't already in love, I'd fall for her myselfl" Aaron gave him a playful kick. "Back off." Logan wiped his eyes, still laughing. "Sorry about that, Clara. Guess we almost misunderstood you. Come on, drinks are waiting." The group left the garden in high spirits, heading back toward the living room for more drinks and laughter. No one spared Brooklyn another glance. After all, in front of real power, even a celebrity didn't mean much. A servant standing by the pool offered her a large towel. "Miss Brooklyn, Mr.

Logan asked me to take you home." Looked like Logan was about to change girlfriends again. This one hadn't even lasted half a month.
