Tears welled up in Yvonne’s eyes instantly. Now, she felt genuinely threatened.
Elijah froze as she started crying.

“What exactly do you want from me? Are you trying to stop me or expose me?” Yvonne asked in a hushed tone. She was at a loss, unsure of what to do. This unexpected situation was something she had never considered. Was all her careful planning about to fall apart?
Elijah’s expression fluctuated several times before he finally spoke. “I know your motive is to continue being the lady of the Burke family, but… you me an answer. That child–the one you lost–it wasn’t
my older brother’s, was it?”
It was only at this point that Isabella snapped back to reality, finally reacting to what she had heard.
Isabella: Good heavens! What a predicament So, two months ago at the family gathering. Elijah had too much to drink and slept in one of the Burke manor’s rooms. He also slept with someone in a drunken haze, and upon waking up, he learned it was his older brother’s new wife. That gave him quite the fright back then. Hmm? Wait, what on earth was Yvonne up to?
The Quirks had also waited for what seemed like forever before they finally received a follow–up explanation.
Why does this sound so off, though?
Given that they were at the Burke manor, where everyone had their own room, how could Elijah have ended up in Yvonne’s room? Besides, if Elijah was drunk, what were the odds that Yvonne was too? So, Yvonne must’ve had a role in this, right?
But based on what she’d said before, even if she was having an affair, it should’ve been with Aiden. How could it have been with Elijah, then?
The more Alexander listened, the deeper his frown became, as he couldn’t help but feel that something just didn’t add up.
Isabella: Elijah was just as confused over what had happened that night. No matter how messed up his private life is, he would never let his own relatives get cheated on. That was why he didn’t dare to face Yvonne, fearing her reaction upon waking up. So, not having the time to figure things out, he slipped away while she was still asleep… Dang, this guy really just snuck away like that! Was he that afraid of getting caught by that ridiculous woman?
The Quirk family was rendered speechless, it seemed like this man couldn’t shoulder any responsibility.
Isabella: Once he had calmed down, Elijah discreetly inquired and found that his older brother showed no signs of knowing anything. This relieved him. He had assumed it was just a one–night stand, a mishap that could be brushed under the carpet. But to his surprise, a month later, he heard that his sister–in–law was pregnant. This news left him sleepless, as based on the timing, the child could potentially be his. Still, he didn’t dare to address the issue and simply chose to remain a coward.
The Quirk family: You chose to run away
with your tail tucked between your legs, and now that the child is gone, you have the audacity to come forward and question her? Are you so filled with regret that you want to confirm whose child
it was?
“What are you implying with that question? Of course that child was my husband’s.” Yvonne suddenly

“Really? Even when Ralph clearly had fertility issues? Could he even perform with you? Maybe he couldn’t, which is why that night at the Burke manor you…”
“You!” Yvonne’s face turned pale in an instant.
Elijah paused, not having the heart to continue. After all, the two of them were well aware of what he
meant.
Isabella: So, that’s it. After hearing that Yvonne heen cheating with Aiden, he started to suspect that she had deliberately come to his room that night. After all. stinctly remembered being so drunk that he was unconscious, and it seemed that it was Aiden who had helped him back to his room. In such a state, he couldn’t have possibly forced himself on Yvonne.
