Chapter 213

“I glanced at the stock ticker on the wall. Skye Gem was on the rebound now, thanks to the Lutz Group’s backing.” Elaine added.

“You see, Whitney had no heart. She betrayed you. Your child would grow up calling Bryce ‘Dad’, walking through the doors of the Lutz Mansion. Ludwik, you’re too proud for that. It’s a slap in your face, a living insult. How can you bear it?” Elaine faked anger in front of Ludwik.

Ludwik stared at his own reflection on the computer screen, his eyes like damp chasms in the early morning gloom.

A new engagement right after a divorce? What a farce.

She’d run straight into Bryce’s arms. How dared she claim nothing happened between them?

A bitter laugh escaped him. With a sudden move, he swept all the papers from his desk, his hot coffee spilling onto the floor and splashing Elaine’s shoes.

But he was oblivious, lost to his rage, barely managing to breathe. “Elaine, get out!” he growled.

She’d achieved her goal. Her eyes were narrowing with satisfaction as she left the room.

Ludwik spent the night in his study, smoking until dawn in front of the window.

He chuckled darkly to himself, swearing that the heartless woman wouldn’t easily get away with this.

His child walking through the doors of the Lutz Mansion? No, no one could shatter his pride.

Crushing the cigarette butt in his hand, he grabbed his car keys and stormed out.

Whitney woke early because of her growing belly, which had made sleep elusive day by day. The baby seemed to be still asleep, peaceful without movements.

She spoke to her belly, “You’re quite the lazy one, aren’t you? You only stir when I’m upset. We have our seven-month checkup soon, I hope you weigh 1.5 kilograms now.”

She ordered some breakfast ingredients online, planning to cook for herself.

But when someone knocked on her door around seven, she thought it was the delivery. But she found two bodyguards greeting her when she opened the door.

Before she could finish her question, she was being escorted out, only to see Ludwik leaning against a sleek Bentley. His figure was impeccable, his presence always commanding.

He looked like he hadn’t slept the previous night. His eyes were bloodshot, not sparing her a glance.
