Fated Marriage Spoiled by My Ice Billionaire novel Chapter 119

"Whether those two are dead or alive has nothing to do with me!" Isabelle had no idea what Baylor was trying to do, blocking her like this.

She didn't want to get involved in this mess anymore. She avoided Baylor and tried to leave.

"Isabelle, the child in Nicole's belly might be mine."

Baylor laid all his cards on the table.

Isabelle stopped dead in her tracks, his words echoing in her ears.

The child isn't Gary's?

Seeing her stunned, Baylor quickly pulled her into a nearby corner, afraid someone might see them.

Isabelle said, "This doesn't seem to have anything to do with me, does it?"

Baylor pleaded, "No, it doesn't. You're doing better and better now that you're away from Gary. I admit, you have no reason to dwell on the past anymore. I'm swallowing my pride to come to you today. However you see me, I accept it. If you can help me investigate, I'll agree to any condition you name!"

Isabelle let out a light, cold laugh. "They're already married. You're only realizing this now? What, you want to snatch her back?"

Baylor said, "Isabelle, I play around, but I know my limits. I've never crossed the line."

Baylor's serious tone surprised her.

Rare to see someone describe their indecency so elegantly.

"I'm sorry, Baylor. I can't help you with this." She refused outright.

If she investigated and it turned out to be as Baylor said, the Gale and Peterson families would surely cause another uproar.

She would be the one dragged into it, and it would bring unnecessary trouble for Damian. As far as she was concerned, their chapter was closed. She didn't want any more entanglements.

Isabelle thought for a moment. "Don't worry, I won't breathe a word of this."

She turned and left.

Baylor deflated right away. He didn't cause trouble for Isabelle because he knew her character. If she said she wouldn't talk, she definitely wouldn't.

Isabelle wiped the sweat from her palms, feeling tense inside. Even if the child in Nicole's belly wasn't Gary's, the fact that they slept together was real.

Whatever the outcome, that relationship was set in stone.

She had just stepped into the elevator when she saw Gary leaning inside.

He stared straight at her, his eyes filled with a sinister mix of anger and something else. He didn't get out. She didn't go in.

They were at a stalemate. The elevator doors opened and closed.

What the hell was I thinking back then, getting involved with such a worthless piece of trash...

Come to think of it, the child was almost certainly Baylor's.

"You look down on me that much?" Gary started to say something else, but the elevator doors opened, and a group of people walked in.

Everyone acted like it was normal; no one paid attention; no one wanted to get involved.

Isabelle, embarrassed, lowered her head and seized the chance to break free from his grip.

Gary let go of her hands but kept her trapped in front of him, shielding her from view.

The elevator continued upward. People got off at their floors. Isabelle tried to slip away, but Gary held her wrist, not letting her go. The elevator kept climbing.

"You're insane!" Isabelle thought she had been too soft. I should find a chance to finish him off!

"Isabelle, you know my marriage to Nicole is just for show. I don't care who you're with on the side. I won't mind!" Gary insisted.

Isabelle let out a scornful laugh. "Don't assume every man is like you, and don't think I'm some pathetic wreck without you. Did you lose all your brain cells the second you were born? God showered the world with wisdom. Some people catch it with buckets, some with their hands. But you? You not only didn't catch any fish, but also tried to stop others from catching it. You're utterly pathetic!"

Gary couldn't stand Isabelle's accusations. In his mind, they were both cut from the same cloth, yet she was trampling him into the mud.
