Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 1652

Chapter 1652: A gig from hell

Priscilla was exactly as Jessa had described her: ambitious, opportunistic, and a terrible person who didn’t care if she stepped on others to get what she wanted. Priscilla would never deny that because that was who she was.

However, Jessa was wrong about one thing: that Priscilla just used her brother for her own gain.

No.

Priscilla loved Jason with all her heart and soul.

They met young, fell for each other at first sight, and became inseparable. They would have done anything for each other and spent their days dreaming about the future together. He was everything to her, and he also claimed the same — that his world was her.

But then, somehow, something changed.

Jessa’s brother, Jason, suddenly wanted to leave Priscilla for reasons unknown. He said he was tired of her, that things had become boring, and that the spark between them was gone.

Just like that, he had a change of heart.

In the heat of the moment, Priscilla blurted out, "But I’m pregnant."

She swore she hadn’t meant to lie—but the words slipped out before she could stop them. And at that time, abortion was illegal in Anteca. Even for those who offered it under the table, it was too expensive for two students barely getting by.

Priscilla could have corrected herself and admitted it was a lie.

That it was nothing more than a desperate attempt to keep him from leaving. That she didn’t mean to deceive him.

But she didn’t. Not because she couldn’t—but because after that, Jason promised her the world. He took care of her, made vows to be a good father and husband, and told her he would support their child no matter what.

And the first step toward that future was introducing her to his parents.

At first, the Reed family was reluctant and shocked by the news. But they felt they had no choice—Priscilla was already "pregnant." So, despite thinking their children were too young to raise a family, the Reeds opened their home.

They welcomed Jason and Priscilla in, knowing full well that having a child wasn’t easy. Their gesture was nothing but a show of support while the young couple figured things out.

But even that wasn’t enough to ease the growing tension between Jason and Priscilla—or the crushing pressure of the life they were supposed to be bringing into the world.

Jason dropped out of school to work and provide, and Priscilla tried to adjust to life with her unofficial in-laws. But it wasn’t easy for either of them.

While Jason worked hard for her and their supposed unborn child, Priscilla began to dread the day of her due date.

Her lies were catching up to her. The Reed couple—and even Jessa—started to notice little things, details no pregnant woman should overlook. It began as small, dismissive comments, but slowly, the weight of her own deceit began to crack her psyche.

So she made a decision—right before everything unraveled and her world fell apart.

She would sever what little bond she had left with Jessa and fake a miscarriage.

A decision—a sacrifice—Priscilla was willing to make to keep her lie buried.
