The moment the door swung open, a furious crowd surged forward. Some snatched whatever they could find, including flower arrangements, and hurled them at Tristan.
“Liar! You’re nothing but a liar!”
“Scumbag! You fooled us for years! Poor Miss Snow! It’s so unfair!”
“You spent money searching for Nicole’s body, and we thought you truly loved her! But it was all fake! No wonder she jumped! What else could she do after being betrayed by you two?”
“Homewrecker! I can’t believe I used to like you, only to find out you’re just the other woman!”
Someone threw a flower arrangement directly at Lisa, hitting her hard before she could duck away.
“Ah!”
Lisa recoiled in fear, instinctively protecting her stomach.
But Tristan grabbed her arm and pulled her back into the line of fire, allowing the next blow to land squarely on her.
“Stop!” Lisa cried out, clutching her belly in terror, terrified that the baby might be harmed as she tried desperately to shield

The crowd erupted in anger, surging forward with even more fury.
Tristan, remembering what Lisa had said earlier, instinctively shielded her stomach with his body.

Before he could finish, someone dumped a bucket of water over his head.
You’re insane! You actually believe that nonsense?”
“Exactly! Even if Miss Snow were to reincarnate, do you think she’d choose to come back in the mistress‘ belly? She would be horrified at the very thought!”
“Idiot!”
Terrified by the growing hostility, Lisa panicked. She shoved Tristan aside and turned to flee, but in her rush, she tripped over a fallen flower arrangement.
“Ah! It hurts!”
A sharp pain shot through her abdomen. Lisa clutched her stomach, screaming in agony.
“Tristan! It hurts so much!”
