The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 430

Martin glanced hesitantly at him, unable to infer anything from Louis's current state, and chose to remain silent.

Louis grew even more enraged, his cane thumping on the floor with a "thud": "Speak up! Is she or is she not Yoli?"

Martin had no choice but to face him: "She..."

He wanted to say "isn't," but the words were stuck in his throat; he feared that Louis would be so shocked he'd gasp for air and pass out right then and there.

His health had been hanging by a thread these past few years.

But Louis had already caught on to something from Martin's hesitant expression.

"She's not Yoli, is she?" he demanded angrily.

With another hesitant look, Martin finally nodded: "Yes."

Marian looked at Martin in astonishment, not expecting his candid acknowledgment.

"Then where is the real Yoli?"

Louis asked, his cane still punctuating his inquiry with thuds against the floor, "Where has my Yoli gone?"

Martin cast his eyes downward, still fearing to speak the full truth.

"I don't know," "I can't find her,"-every single admission could be a death sentence for Louis.

"And what of that paternity test report?"

Louis pressed on. Martin had originally informed them that they found Yolanda by sending them her bracelet and a paternity test report confirming their relationship, which is why the family had joyously rushed to Wye City for the reunion.

Martin slightly averted his eyes: "I faked it."
