Chapter 287
There were no words to describe the storm that was raging within Marguerite
Today, she’d been bombarded with secrets upon secrets, leaving herpletely unprepared and
caught off guard. Her emotions had already settled into a numb calm after wave after wave of shock,
akin to the feeling of throwing caution to the wind.

All that Maurice had done, wasn’t it just to bring Frederick down? So, whatever he said now, Marguerite
did not find it surprising Even if he suddenly confessed to being the Grim Reaper himself, she had to
believe him!
Marguerite let out augh, soaked in self mockery and despair, before tears start to trickle down her
face, her nose stinging worse than after a spoonful of horseradish.
Maunce looked down at Marquente’s shaking shoulders, and regardless of whether she could ept it,
he continued to speak, “The moment I saw you in the hospital, I was drawn to your beauty. But that
was just a fleeting admiration, nothing to do with affection Yet, when I began to investigate you, I found
out your parents were scheming to get you involved with Hanley. I’ve met Hanley, he’s a fat gambler.
At that moment, I found myself empathizing with you. If you had to give up your virtue that night, why
couldn’t it be with me? At least, afterpleting your mission, I could offer you stability for the rest of
your life Hanley, however, could offer you nothing”
His voice was soft, his tone gentle, but Marquente could only feel nausea
How could he utter those words. “If you had to give up your virtue, why couldn’t it be with me?”
Despite his good looks, how was he any different from Hanley?
In fact, Maurice was even more of a refined scoundrel and hypocrite than Hanley.
Cleaning her tears, Marguerite leaned against the wall to stand up, locked eyes with Maurice, and
forced herself to pull together, “You say the child I’m carrying is yours, prove it”
“Marguerite, you’re smart. You have the evidence of that night in your hands, don’t you?”
At Maurice’s reminder, Marguente suddenly remembered the list Miley had just sent her.
She pulled out her phone impatiently, her entire being filled with urgency and anxiety, her trembling
fingers almost dropping the device.
April 27th! The date of that one–night stand was April 27th!
Marguente frantically found the corresponding date, following it to the booking details of room 1205
Guest Maurice!
Suddenly, the surroundings blurred, the name “Maurice” burning into Marguente’s retinas.
She couldn’t believe that the father of her child could be Maurice!
Marguerite, holding up her phone, voice filled with emotion, “Maunce, how did you know I would have
this list? You knew I was investigating it, didn’t you? So, you had plenty of time to change the
information!”
Maurice had wide–reaching influence, altering the guest records of the Regal Haven Hotel would be a
piece of cake for him.
“You can choose not to believe me. Give birth to the child, we can get a paternity test”
Marguerite clenched her teeth with anger, “You expect me to give birth to this child? Dream on! I will
never let you be the father, I will aborti
Marguerite, saying this, stormed off, opening the door in rage, Maurice’s voice immediately followed,
“Marguente, you have severe pelvic inmmation. If you want to abort my child, you might as well sign
your own death warrant
At that moment, the usuallyposed Maurice finally lost his temper
Marguerite stopped in her tracks, turned around and dered, “Even if I die, I will not bear this child for
you!”
Maurice gave a faint smile, “So, you’ve epted that the child is mine, haven’t you?”
Marguerite’s hands, hanging by her sides, clenched into fists. Her short nails dug into the flesh of her
palms, but she barely felt the pain.
“Laverne is gone, and this child, is now your only
