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.

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.

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.
