And The Daddy Is… The Infertile Guy?!

Chapter 209

Seling’s expression froze as it happened so fast.

Suddenly, she covered her face and bike down sobbing, her voice thick with tears. “Ms. Quigley, what did I ever do to you? Are you upset because Howie saved me first?”

Everyone else was equally shocked, murmuring and glancing at Gwendolyn.

Gwendolyn bit her lip so hard that she tasted blood.

Selina shy was really playing the victim card, huh? Without any cameras around the dimly lit Sapphire Serenity Lake, it’s likely the questo would take her word for it.

She accused Gwendolyn of pushing her into the water, of slinging mud at her, forcing Gwendolyn to swallow the bitter pill of injustice silently.

With tears brimming in her eyes, Gwendolyn feigned calm as she interrogated. “You said someone pushed you. We were the only ones. there. Are you saying I did it?”

Selina’s eyes were a misty mess, and she whimpered, “No, I didn’t mean that.”

With his trademark sarcasm, Ryan interrupted, “The wife of Summit Corp’s CEO, resorting to such vulgarity. It’s such a spectacle, right? Resorting to violence at the drop of a hat. Are you afraid that Selina’s return will threaten your spot by Howard?”

“Everyone here knows who really should be standing beside Howard.”

Gwendolyn’s lips were pallid, her hand clutching her aching abdomen as she–stated firmly, “Til only say this once. I didn’t push her

Ryan sneered. “Have you got any evidence to prove your innocence?”

Gwendolyn felt a chill run through her

A dry, crisply scented blazer fell over her damp shoulders.

Turning her head, she saw Howard, his expression stern, gripping her hand tightly

He declared, “Well know the truth soon. Just get the best forensic expert in the country on it.”

Gwendolyn was in a daze, unsure whom he believed.

Did he think she was lying or doubt Selina’s words?

Howard immediately had his bodyguards seal off the scene, preserving the pristine footprints by the lake.

“No one can slander my wife,” Howard warned, his gaze fixed on Ryan.

one can

He scooped Gwendolyn in his arms, her mud–stained body against his crisp white shirt.

His assertion silenced the crowd.

In her feigned fragility, Selina insisted, “There’s no need for such drama. If Gwendolyn says she didn’t do it, I’m cool with that

Howard was really ready to rope in a forensic expert just to clear the name of this country gal?

Howard glanced at her coldly. “If Gwendolyn pushed you, that was assault. Are you saying you don’t mind?”

With those final words, he carried Gwendolyn off

Selina clutched her chest, gasping for air, and fainted

“Selina!” Ryan cried out.

The Lopez family’s christening party ended in disarray.

The guests left buzzing with gossip, eager to share the juicy details with friends.

On the way back, Gwendolyn curled up in a comer in the dim light of the Rolls–Royce. Her eyes, cloudy with tears, stared blankly out the window. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Her mind replayed the scene of Howard rushing

g to save Selina.

Ryan said it was Howard’s instinct to save Selina.

How deep must love run for such an instinct to be deep in one’s soul?

If not for the accident, Selina and he would be engaged. The man she loved had once treated another with such tenderness.

Had they embraced or Kissed? Had they whispered sweet nothings and entwined in passion?

Tears slid down her cheeks as Gwendolyn stifled her sobs, daring not to make a sound.
