Chapter 767 - 761: Uncovering the Truth (Part 1)

At first, everything seemed normal. Then, during a team-building event, Cynthia Morgan confessed her feelings to him, saying she had liked him for a long time.

He told her that he had someone he loved.

After hearing this, she expressed her regret and did not continue to pester him.

Later on, as she was leaving for personal development reasons, she asked him to have a meal together as a farewell between friends.

Aside from Cynthia Morgan’s initial confession, she had never done anything inappropriate and had been diligent at work. For an employee who was leaving, there was no reason to refuse a meal.

That night, he invited some of the key staff from the company to bid farewell to Cynthia Morgan.

After marrying Pearl, he never had a habit of staying out all night; thus, he always drank with restraint.

That night, he clearly remembered not drinking much, yet he was so drunk he lost consciousness.

When he woke up, it was already the next morning, and Cynthia Morgan was lying in his arms. There were bruises on her body that he, as a married man, recognized all too well.

When Cynthia Morgan woke up, she cried heavily, saying he had done something indecent to her while drunk, and she couldn’t continue living.

If he wasn’t confident in his own character and drinking capacity, he would have believed her words, thinking she was an innocent maiden violated by him.

He had attended social gatherings involving drinking more than once, and such an incident had never happened before. After thinking it over carefully, he realized he had been set up.

At that moment, he was furious, wishing he could tear her apart.

Finally, Cynthia Morgan dropped her pretense, revealing her true nature, calmly picking up her clothes from the floor and slowly dressing, deliberately exposing those kiss marks.

Then she threw some photos from the cabinet to him: "You’re a man, I’m a woman. In such matters, I’m always the weaker side. Do you think if this gets out, others would believe you or me?"

The photos depicted them lying together.

He was enraged, wanting to kill her and then go to prison, but thoughts of Pearl and their underage son finally calmed him down. He asked her what she wanted.

She demanded one hundred thousand yuan.

She guessed that the company was just starting up, so she didn’t ask for an exorbitant amount because she knew he could certainly come up with one hundred thousand yuan.

He gave her the hush money of one hundred thousand, then bought contraceptives and forced her to take them.

He didn’t want this issue to escalate further.

He thought they would become like strangers from then on, but she came back, claiming she was pregnant.

He, of course, didn’t believe her because he saw her take the contraceptives himself and refused to believe the child was his.

She said, wait until the child is born and do a paternity test.

The method for a prenatal paternity test is through amniocentesis, which involves extracting amniotic fluid for DNA testing, a procedure that carries a risk of miscarriage if not done properly.

For Cynthia Morgan, this child was her trump card, and she was unwilling to take such a risk.

She insisted the child was his, threatening that if he didn’t believe her, she would expose everything to Pearl and let her determine the truth.

He didn’t dare. He loved Pearl too much. At that time, Pearl was also pregnant and could bear no shock.

Even though he was set up, it was an undeniable fact that he had had intimate relations with Cynthia Morgan. He asked her what she wanted this time.

And this time, Cynthia Morgan’s demand took him by surprise.
