Second Marriage to Mr. Rich
Chapter 170

"Angie, let's not argue over that. I deeply regret letting my emotions get the best of me because of Ingrid, which nearly resulted in the child's death," coaxed Ned. "But considering the kid's age, there was no one else except me during that time."

Angeline was briefly stunned before she smiled and said, "Have you forgotten about the time you drugged me at Regalia Hotel? My child was from then.

"You prepared the drink I had, so you should know better than me what consequences that drug would bring. You were hoping I'd sleep with someone else then, right? "Why? Did you think I'd remain a maiden for you even after you tormented me to death by drugs?"

He suddenly remembered how he gave Angeline the supposed truth serum and forced her to admit that they didn't have sex that night before a crowd of people.

He thought of how he had tried to choke her when she was pregnant and how he had wanted to kill her.

He momentarily felt suffocated, as if a large hand was squeezing on his heart.

"Angie, please don't speak so harshly," he replied, reaching out to touch her.

She avoided his hand and said, "My child was conceived that night at the Regalia Hotel. If you don't believe me, you can run a paternity test using hair samples. The only condition is that you never appear before me ever again. You disgust me."

Her last sentence sliced through his heart like a scalpel.

He had said the same thing to her before. That was when she had just woken up from her vegetative state. She had tried her best to make him remember their past and even brought him to Oceanford High School.

At the time, he had pushed Angeline away and said to her, "I can go with you to Oceanford High School, but this is the last time! I hope from now on, you won't appear in front of me ever again. You disgust

He watched as Angeline was engulfed by the flow of people crossing the street and disappeared from his sight.

His eyes were red, and he clenched his teeth tightly.

It wasn't until his phone rang several times that he snapped back to

attention. He retrieved his phool nee

from his pocket and saw it was a

call from Ingrid.

Ned didn't feel like answering, so he silenced the phone, put it back into his pocket, then turned and returned to the car.

He was about to start the car to leave when Angeline's words from earlier suddenly echoed in his mind without warning.

"My child was conceived that night at the Regalia Hotel. If you don't believe me, you can run a paternity test using hair samples."

Ned questioned if the kid was

genuinely conceived at the Regalia

et

Hotel. He doubted it because Gregory had said the child was his. But if Angeline had indeed slept with someone else that night, then he had sent her to another man's bed.

Ned felt all the blood in his body freeze at that realization.

"You prepared the drink I had, so you should know better than me what consequences that drug would bring."

What kind of drug was in that drink?

He took out his phone and dialed Tommy's number. Soon, Tommy answered the phone. Ned could even hear a coquettish woman's voice in the background. "Hello, Ned!" Tommy greeted cheerfully.

"What's up?"

"A few years ago, you prepared this drug for Angeline at the Regalia Hotel. You said you switched it to an aphrodisiac. Was that drug very potent?" he asked while gripping the phone tightly.
