Paternity test?
Even though Marguerite wasn’t clear about who the father of the child in her belly was, she was pretty
sure it wasn’t Frederick.
It was plain as day, no need for a paternity test.
Marguerite took a deep breath, “Steven, thanks for your concern, but no thanks.”
Steven was taken aback, “Why?”
“It’s pointless.”
When Steven understood what Marguerite meant, he was deeply shocked, “Marguerite, is the child in
your belly really not Frederick’s?”
This matter had already caused Marguerite a lot of pain, so when Steven questioned her, she felt her
wounds being reopened and insulted again.
She answered a few words in a fluster and then hung up the phone.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSteven stared at the phone screen in a daze, completely unable to snap back to reality.
“Steven?” Janie waved her hand in front of his eyes, “Stop zoning out, Mr. Powell woke up, and the
other doctors are there. Are you going to check it out?”
Steven shook his head, “No, you go first, let me think for a bit.”
Janie shrugged her shoulders, and closed the door on her way out.
Steven immediately grabbed a glass of ice water and gulped it down, trying to clear his head.
Then he pulled out a picture frame from the drawer, inside was a picture of Marguerite smiling.
Since it was a candid shot, the quality of the photo wasn’t very good, but Marguerite’s face was clear
as day. Her big eyes exuded an innocent yet determined aura.
How could such an innocent girl have an illegitimate child?
What on earth went wrong?
Meanwhile, in the study room of Sapphire Valley Estates.
The room was filled with smoke. Frederick stood in front of the floor–to–ceiling windows, continuously
smoking.
Chuck was choking on the smoke, sneezing non–stop. He didn’t remember how many Frederick had
smoked, but he didn’t stop after Marguerite left.
“Chuck.” The man’s hoarse voice suddenly came.
Chuck immediately stepped forward and responded respectfully, “Mr. Winston, what can I do for you?”
The man had his back to him, so Chuck couldn’t see Frederick’s expression at the moment. But after
Frederick called him, he fell silent.
“Mr. Winston?” Chuck plucked up the courage to call out.
No response.
After Frederick remained silent for a long time, Chuck heard his angry voice, “Find out who the father of
her child is.”
Chuck looked troubled, “Mr. Winston, Ms. Lockwood said she was forced, so she definitely wouldn’t
want to talk about such painful memories. If she doesn’t say, we have no way to investigate.”
“Forced?” Frederick sneered, “Which man would force her?”
Chuck stood nervously.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlthough Chuck was Frederick’s subordinate and always flattering him, he didn’t want to say anything
more at this moment.
Frederick’s words were very hurtful in his view.
If Marguerite really was forced, then she was the victim.
But Frederick pushed all the blame onto Marguerite.
He knew Frederick was angry and couldn’t control his emotions towards Marguerite, and could only
vent in this way.
It was totally pointless.
Doing so would only make the relationship between Frederick and Marguerite more distant.
“Mr. Winston, I really don’t know how to investigate this matter.“.
“Then just stick to her side!”
Frederick turned around angrily, his eyes burning with rage were already turning red.
Chuck was so scared that he kept backing away, his face full of fear, “Yes, Mr. Winston! I got it. Do you
have any other orders?”
“Withdraw all stocks of Polar Radiance perfume from all stores, not a single bottle should be left!”
