A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 964

The announcement of his engagement to Yulisa had barely dropped before the news of Tanya carrying his child was leaked to the entire world.

Darian's heart sank as he listened to her bring up the vicious public backlash.

"Everyone is calling me a homewrecker," Tanya continued, her voice razor-sharp. "They're saying I have no shame, that I'm trying to use this baby to secure a ring."

"I'm already having the PR team suppress the stories!" Darian interrupted, feeling a suffocating pressure in his chest. He hadn't expected the news to explode so spectacularly. As he mentioned suppressing the rumors, he looked at Tanya, a fleeting shadow of suspicion crossing his eyes.

It was brief... but Tanya caught it instantly.

He actually suspected her!

Tanya arched an eyebrow, a cold, cynical smile playing on her lips. "What? Do you think I leaked the news myself? That I'm really trying to trap you with this pregnancy?"

"No, I wasn't—"

"Then who exactly are you suspecting?" Her gaze was locked onto his face; there was no mistaking who that flash of doubt was meant for. Whatever residual feelings she might have harbored for this man completely shattered in that instant.

Darian's breathing grew ragged under her scrutiny. Tanya narrowed her eyes. "You are truly disgusting."

"Your entire family knows I'm pregnant. Yulisa knows too, right?" she challenged. "With all those obvious suspects, you actually choose to point the finger at me? Or do you honestly believe that my desperate attempts to get rid of this baby have all just been some elaborate act?"

"Darian, you have absolutely no shame!" Tanya scoffed. She was currently drowning in a sea of public humiliation, yet he still possessed the audacity to demand she have this baby. Who the hell did he think he was?

"Don't let the gossip get to you. It'll blow over soon," he tried to placate her.

"Have you even bothered to investigate who leaked the news?" Tanya challenged.

Darian went silent.

"The list of people who knew is incredibly short. It shouldn't be that hard for someone with your resources to find the culprit, right?" He could supposedly silence public opinion! How could he not track down a single leak?
