And with another woman by his side, he laughed at me for being a tomboy.
Like a madwoman, I stormed into the study and slashed that pillow that resembled Kristen.
I grabbed everything within reach, photo frames, plants, a desk lamp, and hurled them at the two of them.
He shielded Kristen tightly, effortlessly dodging each flying object.
“Jennifer! All these years, I’ve had enough of living under the Hathaway roof! I have the ability, I’m the youngest hospital director in the country!”
“You really think I have to scrape by in your brother’s hospital? Let me tell you, there are countless top hospitals trying to recruit me!”
“If you keep losing control like this… fine. We’ll divorce! And the only one who will regret it will be you!”
I gripped the stair railing, trying to steady myself. “Do whatever you want!”
Kristen trembled in his arms.
“George, married couples fight… It’s normal. She has a strange temper, but if you just endure it, it will pass.”
“Divorced women really have it hard. People look down on them… just like me.”
George sneered coldly, barely sparing me a glance.
“I don’t care about her. She brought it on herself. Not every woman deserves to be cherished.”
A wave of exhaustion swept over me. I released the railing and quietly went upstairs.
George stared after me, his gaze sharp, seemingly unprepared for my calm departure. A flicker of guilt passed through him, and he opened his mouth to call me back.
Just then, Kristen’s phone rang.
“What? Dwayne has a fever?”
“Alright, I’ll head to the hospital immediately.”
She hung up, eyes wide and reddened with worry.
“George, Dwayne has a high fever, forty degrees! What should we do?”
George’s face drained of color in an instant.
“Dwayne? But… wasn’t he perfectly fine at the amusement park just yesterday?”
“I’ll go with you!”
Hearing the slam of the door as George and Kristen left, I could no longer keep myself upright and collapsed onto the floor.
His relationship with Kristen had already reached the point where he was taking her child to the amusement park.
Or was that child connected to him all along?
The thought made my chest tighten. I bit down hard on my lips and dialed my brother Chase’s number.
“Brother, help me investigate George and Kristen.”
“Investigate what? Did he cheat?”
“I suspect he has an illegitimate child.”
Chase gasped in shock. “Are you sure? He can even have children?”
