Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 1548

"Father, you can't possibly... You can't possibly believe what Jim says, right?

"I... How could I possibly...”

Charles narrowed his eyes. He exuded an aura so domineering that Heather suddenly felt it difficult to breathe. "Heather."

Charles narrowed his eyes as he stared at Heather's pale face. "If you admit your mistake now, I'll still forgive the terrible choices you have made, considering I've raised you for so many years, but if you insist on lying..."

His expression darkened. "Some lies are so fragile they can easily be exposed. Are you sure you want me t o investigate this?"

Heather bit her lip as she met Charles' icy gaze. Then, she kneeled on the floor with a thud and admitted the truth, "Father, it was all my fault...

“I...I just thought if Luna gives birth to her child, it’ll bring chaos to both her and all of us, including the child itself... That's why I made such a terrible mistake

Before she could even finish, Charles gave her a hard kick. "Even if we were to get rid of this child, we’ll do i t proudly instead of relying on deceitful tricks like this! Besides, what were you thinking?

"Even if Luna had miscarried after she was raped by another man, what would happen to her dignity? She has an engagement with Malcolm! What would happen if he and the Quinn family found out about this?"

Heather landed on the floor, rolling a few times before she picked herself back up, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth. "I...I had never thought of ruining Luna's reputation at all! I know that if I let Luna sleep with another man...the Quinn family would never be able to accept this..."

She sucked in a deep breath and said, her head lowered, "So I got Malcolm to do it instead." 1

As soon as she heard this, Luna sucked in a deep breath of surprise.

She recalled how she had bumped into Malcolm in the morning. He still looked as kind and gentle as always, and she had honestly thought he was there to check o n her.

It turned out, however...

It turned out that he and Heather had been in on this together, trying to get rid of her child!

Luna recalled how Malcolm had admitted that he had tried to get Joshua killed.
