Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 2751

Andrew did not care about that. However, the fact that Brielle had once been such a fierce woman was something Andrew had not expected at all.

Eric sneered again. "So what you're saying is, I'm just some accident you got from sleeping around with a random person for free? No wonder I've always felt like my entire life has been especially unlucky. Turns out you're the source of all my misfortune."

Brielle's face was streaming with tears. "I know I've wronged you. But back then, I wasn't thinking about anything except revenge. I just wanted to make Julius and my mentor suffer. Later, that apprentice kept coming around to harass me, but I ignored him."

She continued, "But gradually, I started to regret it… I never thought I'd actually do something like that. What scared me even more came later. Two months later, I found out I was pregnant, and my wedding with Julius was right around the corner."

Andrew frowned. "Wait, that doesn't add up. If that's the case, you should've married Julius before Eric was born. If that happened, how would Julius even know Eric wasn't his kid? You could've totally pulled off fooling him with the pregnancy. That way, Eric here would've been the heir of the Divine Alchemists. How badass would that be!"

He cleared his throat and added, "I'm just throwing out a theory here. The specifics still need further analysis, so go ahead and continue."

This time, it was Amari and Eric's turn to roll their eyes at Andrew.

Brielle said bitterly, "Originally, it would have been exactly as you said. I got pregnant right when I was about to marry Julius. So in the end, no one would've known whose child it was. But right at that time, someone came to the Divine Alchemists and challenged us. That person had already challenged dozens of ancient sects all over, and hadn't lost a single fight."
