GoodReadChapter 39
Irene had hit Whitney so hard that her palm was numb, and her eyes were filled with fury. “You’re a
doctor. You know that an amniocentesis to a mother in early pregnancy will cause a miscarriage. A slap
is a lot less than what you deserve!”
She would not be this merciful if anything were to happen to her twins! On the other hand, Whitney had
never ever suffered such indignation and humiliation her eyes went red as she snarled, “Irene
Spencer!” However, she had barely raised her hand when someone caught her wrist, and she turned to
find Zachary watching her.
“W-What are you doing here?” she stammered.
Zachary shoved her aside. “Did you think you could do anything you want if I’m not around?”
“She hit me first!” Whitney cried, pointing at Irene. “Can’t you see my face?”
It turns out that Zachary had seen Irene do it, but he had also heard their entire conversation. “You
were trying to hurt her baby, weren’t you?”
Whitney could not say anything to that, and turned furiously to glare at Irene. “Don’t get so full of

Once she left, Irene’s nerves finally eased, but Zachary was staring at her. “What happened to you?
How did you get pregnant? Was it Isaac?” Irene shook her head. “No.” “Then who’s the father?”
Zachary’s voice became louder, but he quickly noticed his own agitation and lowered his voice. “You
don’t even have a boyfriend-how did you get pregnant?” Irene hung her head. “Don’t ask.” “How could I
not? You’re pregnant without getting married, so are you raising your child alone? Just tell me who it is.
Did they dump you? I’ll help you!” Zachary exclaimed.
He was actually surprised that Irene was pregnant, because she had always been conversative and
preserved her integrity.
And yet, here she was, pregnant out of wedlock. “I don’t know,” she said, and despite always finding it
hard to talk about that night, she did not keep it from Zachary. “Isaac and I are married in secret, but
there’s no love there. My father just wanted a connection to his family, and the Jeffersons could not
refuse–my grandfather had once saved Henry, and my father used that debt as leverage.”
Zachary was not at all surprised, as he had already sensed that something was unusual when he found
out that Irene was acquainted with Isaac.
He also knew that Irene’s father had always treated her harshly, but had never imagined that she would
be forced to be Isaac’s wife!
“Well then, how did you actually get pregnant?” Zachary asked. “…” It was once again something hard
for Irene to talk about.
“Were you raped?” Zachary realized that he was out of line after asking, and quickly explained, “Wait, I
don’t mean…”
“No.” Irene, however, was not upset. Despite the harshness of it, she could not deny that she had made
a mistake.
However, she had definitely not been coerced.
“It was consensual, but I don’t know who it was.”
Zachary felt his cheeks twitching. “Do you really think Isaac would let you live if he finds out? His wife,
pregnant with someone else’s child? You know his ego-he’s going to smother you!”
Irene suddenly realized that she had never considered that problem, but she had only just found out
that she was pregnant herself!
Follow current on NovelEnglish.net“Please keep this a secret for me. I don’t mind a divorce, but not before my mother has fully recovered.
At least let her get better before she finds out, and I’ll leave this city after the divorce.”
With the money Lionel had given her, she could sustain a living, and she still had a job.
“Just get an abortion,” Zachary reasoned, feeling a terrible sense of disappointment just then. “Why
give birth to a child whose father you don’t know? You’re not making sense!”
Irene simply flashed a bitter smile. “It’s my child.”
How could she bear to cut down her own flesh, growing inside her own body? Looking up to meet
Zachary’s gaze, she said, “I’m feeling a little sick. I want to check if my children are sine.”
“I’ll make the arrangements,” Zachary replied-though he did not agree to her keeping her children, he
did not want to see her suffer either.
Be that as it may, Whitney stepped out from the shadows after they left the room, her eyes twinkling,
“So that’s what happened!”
In reality, she never left the room, and simply hid herself.
Now she understood that there was no love at all between Irene and Isaac. Also, Irene did not even
know that her children were Isaac’s after he got her pregnant that night.
Isaac did not even know that Irene was the woman from that night either, even though they were
married!
“Hahaha!!!” She laughed out loud. “I still have a chance!”
After leaving work in the evening, she headed to the Light Group headquarters and intercepted Isaac!
