A Wedding Night Gone Terribly Wrong novel Chapter 313

Winifred wasn't afraid of Leland's family knowing the truth. If the Lockwoods found out the kids were hers from a previous marriage, so be it. It wasn't a crime.

But if Iris knew, it was only a matter of time before Holden found out.

And if Holden knew, he would try to take the kids.

Seth and Annelise were brilliant, beautiful children. Anyone who met them instantly fell in love. There was absolutely no way Holden would willingly walk away from his own flesh and blood if he found out they existed.

The thought made her stomach twist into knots.

Seeing that she had hit a nerve, Iris reveled in her perceived victory. "Well? Do we have a deal or not? If you don't agree right now, I'm walking in there and exposing you."

If Winifred agreed, she would be handing Iris a leash. If a blackmailer succeeds once, they will only come back for more. Iris would undoubtedly conjure up even more malicious ways to ruin her life.

Winifred clenched her jaw. She absolutely refused to be this woman's puppet.

"Do whatever you want! Say whatever you want to say!" she snapped, turning her back and walking away.

Iris seethed, grinding her teeth. She wanted nothing more than to march into that dining room and lay Winifred's past bare. She wanted to watch the Lockwoods look at Winifred with disgust, sever all ties, and throw her back into the miserable, lonely life she came from.

But Iris hesitated.

If she told the family, the gossip would inevitably leak. And if the rumors reached Holden's ears, he would undoubtedly investigate. After all, he had once been madly in love with Winifred.

Iris was painfully conflicted. Unable to decide her next move, she pulled out her phone and called Holden.

"Hello?" she whimpered into the receiver, playing the victim.

Holden immediately tensed. "Iris, what's wrong?"

She let out a soft sob. "I... I..."

Holden sighed, assuming the worst. "Did Winifred bully you again? Did she hurt you?"
