Chapter 139

Ca**ius was staring at Evadne, his eyes deep and mysterious.

His sister was a pro at seizing opportunities. She never played by the rules, and she was always ready to break them.

Given a slim chance, she could turn the tables, create bigger gains, and catch her opponents off–guard.

George’s face changed. He hadn’t expected Evadne to ask him that.

“From the look on your face, you must know something.” Evadne said coldly, a smirk playing on her lips.

“I know.” George swallowed hard, stuttering. “Because the child is mine…”

The Ashbourne siblings were taken aback.

Evadne’s hand clenched excitedly. This storm had brought her great benefits.

“What happened exactly? Tell me.” Ca**ius demanded in a frosty voice.

“I used to be a personal trainer at a high–end gym overseas. That’s where I met Acacia and we grew closer. She was a real seductress, and we ended up together.”

Evadne’s eyes were full of curiosity. “Go on.”

“But we never made it official, it was a casual thing. Acacia was never short of guys. I was just one of them. One time, we took some stuff, and she let loose. I didn’t take precautions, and she took the morning–after pill, but those things aren’t 100% safe. She found out she was pregnant not long after.”

Evadne blinked, so Acacia was into drugs. That was a surprise.

“Given Acacia’s character, she wouldn’t have wanted to keep the child. How come she did?”

“She said her health was fragile, that if she had an abortion, she wouldn’t be able to have kids anymore. She said no rich family would accept a barren daughter–in–law, so she had to tough it out and have the baby.”

George couldn’t resist a jab at Acacia, “She was very skilled in bed. You couldn’t tell she was weak.”

That was a sore spot for Evadne. But she quickly composed herself, asking calmly, “Where’s the child now?”

“I only know she’s in an orphanage overseas. She should be two or three years old now. That’s a little girl. that’s all I know.”
