Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed novel Chapter 864

Kathleen completely fell apart at his words.

"You can blame me for what happened to Aberdeen, and you can blame me for tricking you into marriage, but you cannot question Corley's identity! That's an insult to me and a betrayal of our son!"

Teague raised an eyebrow. "So you admit you tricked me into marrying you?"

Not suspecting a trap, Kathleen blurted out, "Yes! I asked my friends to help get you drunk. I was the one who stripped naked and got into your bed, pretending it was a drunken mistake."

"You already guessed it, didn't you? That night, nothing happened between us—"

Kathleen screamed, tears streaming down her face.

Teague watched her, his eyes dark and his expression glacial.

"So, when you told me you were pregnant shortly after, that was also a lie?"

A cold smile touched Kathleen's lips. "Would you have agreed to marry me otherwise?"

Even after all these years, she still remembered the situation the next morning when Teague woke up and found her lying beside him.

After a brief moment of shock, the man had quickly composed himself.

He repeatedly questioned her about whether they had actually slept together that night.

After she had answered with absolute certainty, he had gotten dressed as if nothing had happened and warned her: I don't care if it happened or not, you will take this secret to your grave.

There was no apology, no comfort. He was like a heartless john.

No, he was worse than a john; at least johns pay.

All he gave her was humiliation!

So, a month later, Kathleen went to Neely and Geneva first with a positive pregnancy test, crying and begging them to stand up for her.

They were furious, but their anger was directed at her.

Kathleen didn't understand. In a situation like that, wasn't the woman the victim? Why were they blaming her?

But in the end, Neely and Geneva confronted Teague.
