After She She Stopped Loving Him

Chapter 45

“No way,” Hugh refused directly.

Yolanda tapped the photo with her finger. “Dr. Thornton, your daughter is gifted in medicine. If her father gets exposed for a major medical scandal, she’ll be blacklisted from the field for sure.

“Dr. Thornton, do you remember those women you drugged and forced to get abortions?”

Sweat was pouring down Hugh’s face. “Mrs. Sinclair, you and Mr. Sinclair are family. You know I only did those things because someone told me to. Sinclair Group will have my back.”

The hospital owned by Sinclair Group was the go–to place for wealthy wives. If a mistress got pregnant and tried to use the child to climb her way up, they’d drag her here and force an abortion to get rid of the bastard.

The staff there kept their mouths shut, and those rich wives all had dirt on each other, holding leverage in their little circle.

Hugh had done this countless times, but he never expected Charles’s wife to threaten him with it. “Mrs. Sinclair, aren’t you afraid Mr. Sinclair will be pissed?”

Yolanda continued, “Dr. Thornton, six million dollars is more than enough for you to retire. I promise you, if anything ever happens to your daughter, I’ll pull every string I have for her.

“You know how dirty these circles are. She’s gorgeous, and there are plenty of people out there with their eyes. on her.

“You take the blame this once, and you get six million and a safety net for your daughter. Sounds fair, doesn’t it? At worst, Charles will have you roughed up and shipped overseas. He’s not going to kill you. It’s your call, Dr. Thornton.”

Hugh’s hand tightened at his side. He knew better than to mess with Mrs. Sinclair.

Even if Hugh ratted Yolanda out to Charles, those two were thick as thieves. Yolanda would barely get scratched, but Hugh was just some outsider. If Yolanda bounced back, she’d come for him and his daughter, and that would be hell for them.
