The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 1617

"Come here," Pauline demanded with a heavy tone.

Alison hesitated for a moment before finally inching her way over.

As she reached Pauline, her eyes instantly welled up with tears. "Your dad, Curtis is having an affair. And that woman is pregnant, with a boy!"

Alison shivered at the news.

"You need to help me, which is also helping yourself!" Pauline continued, gripping Alison's hand so tightly that she thought her bones might break. "You need to tail Curtis, find that woman, and make her take a tumble down the stairs. If the boy's out of the picture, Curtis will come back to us!"

Morgan was taken aback, so was Alison.

"Pauline, Alison is just a child, how could you ask her to..."

"Yes, she's just a kid, who doesn't have to face criminal charges. So what if she does it? The important thing is to bring Curtis back to us!" Pauline shot Morgan a deadly glare. "Alison, don't listen to their bullshit. Nothing is more important than us being together as a family. Trust me, it's just this one time!"

"Mom!" Alison burst into tears, "Dad doesn't love you anymore!"

The revelation hit Pauline like a ton of bricks.

"You should get a divorce, you can find someone who loves you and live your life. You don't need to stay here anymore, people in the family are bullying you, Dad doesn't love you..."

Before Alison could finish, Pauline's palm landed hard on her face. She grabbed Alison by the collar, lifted her up and pinned her down on the bed, hands clenching around her neck.

"Why are they bullying me? Because of you!!!" Pauline shouted at the top of her lungs.

Morgan rushed over, trying to pull Pauline off.

But Pauline was surprisingly strong, he couldn’t pull her off.

"So you knew all along about Curtis' affair? Yes! It must be, you're here just to rub salt into my wounds!" Pauline screamed, almost hoarse. "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in this mess!!"

At this moment, doctors and nurses burst into the room.

With added help, Morgan seized the chance to pull Alison away.

"Let me go, let me go!! I'm not sick! They're just slandering me because they've been bribed!" Pauline struggled madly and screamed.
