Zeke fell into deep thought.

After a long while, he replied, “That's my child, but we didn't conceive it naturally. She got pregnant through IVF.”

Bailey was stunned momentarily, and her face was filled with shock in the next second. “IVF? How did you know?”

“What I stored my spe*m in a freezer in Shurmer Group's pharmaceutical factory had been swapped. I did an investigation, and I found that the person in charge of that pharmaceutical factory is close to the Gourd family. Hence, I guess he stole my spe*m and gave it to the Gourd family before implanting it into Shirley.”

Bailey's expression darkened. “Are you saying that you didn't have sex with Shirley that night? She took advantage of the situation and convinced everyone you guys had sex. In order to have control over you, she took the risk of committing theft and implanting your spe*m in her body. Is she doing all that to trick everyone into believing that you guys had conceived the child that night?”

Upon saying that, something immediately popped up in Bailey's mind. If that's the case, who did he have sex with that night? Julie! Could it be Julie?

“Is Juliana pregnant?” Zeke asked in a deep voice.

Bailey shivered slightly when she felt the rage Zeke was exuding. Is he angry because Juliana tricked him, or is he angry because Juliana is telling everyone Huntley is the father of her child?

“Y-Yes. She's pregnant. The Hoffman family is telling the public that she's pregnant with her fiancé's child,” Bailey answered.

Bailey ended the last sentence with a more assertive tone to verify her guess.

Sure enough, Zeke's icy aura intensified after he heard those words.

It seems like he's not pissed off at Julie. Instead, he's angry at the fact that Julie is telling everyone she's pregnant with another man's child.

Bailey wondered if that meant Zeke still cared about Juliana.

“Her fiancé's child? Ha! Bailey, do you think she's such an easy woman? Do you think she would suddenly have sex with another man and get pregnant with that man's child?” Zeke asked.

Bailey was rendered speechless by his question. Obviously, Julie isn't a promiscuous woman. She went back to her family because she refused to submit to her fate. Being as relentless as she was, she wanted to take control of the Hoffman family so that no one could ever restrain her. She meant to come back to Hallsbay and pursue Zeke after all that. However, something made her change her mind, and she ended up staying with the Hoffman family and telling everyone she was pregnant with Huntley's child. Essentially, she gave up going after the man she loved. I think Julie was disheartened when she heard Zeke was getting married to Shirley after getting her pregnant.

With that in mind, Bailey said, “Zeke—”

“You don't have to tell me anything. I'm smart enough to come to my own conclusion. Let's put the matter concerning Juliana aside for now. I'm definitely not letting Shirley keep the child. Since Zayron is capable of wreaking havoc, I'm bringing him to the Shurmer residence to stir the pot,” Zeke uttered.

“Sure.” Bailey nodded.

...

Meanwhile, in a ward in the psychiatric hospital, Rhonda was clutching her head and screaming at the top of her lungs hysterically. At the same time, anguish was written all over her face.

A nurse nearby asked in a worried tone, “Dr. Cohen, it seems like she's very resistant to regaining consciousness. Should we continue giving her medicine and forcing her to pull herself back from her insanity?”

A look of disdain manifested on the doctor's face. Ever since this woman was sent to our psychiatric hospital, we attracted the attention of many. Needless to say, this is a famous woman.

“Continue giving her the medicine. We don't need to risk crossing Mr. Luther and Ms. Jefferson over a psycho,” answered Johnny Cohen, the doctor.

“Okay. Judging by her condition, I think she can regain consciousness after another couple of shots. Should you give Ms. Jefferson a call to tell her what's going on?”

Johnny nodded. “Yes. I'll call her in a while. Prepare the medicine. The sooner she regains consciousness, the quicker our job is done, and we can stop dealing with this b*tch.”
