The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 217

Inside the private suite.

Paul sat alone on the couch, his gaze lifting slightly as Arabella entered. He stared at her gloomily, and after a long silence, he finally spoke, “Our alliance is over, and I’m going public with the fact that the child you’re carrying has nothing to do with me.”

“How could you do this to me, Paul?” Arabella’s heart filled with resentment, but she still looked at Paul with a pitiful gaze.

“Don’t give me that act!” Paul was completely unaffected by Arabella’s attempt at playing the victim.

He had once thought Arabella was a pure and innocent goddess. His pursuit of her was causing him sleepless nights.

However, after learning she had been impregnated out of wedlock at eighteen and that she couldn’t even identify the father of her child, he found her past pretenses sickening.

“Do you think the Ellington family is a joke? I would never marry a woman who has been to jail”

Given the evidence, Arabella was destined to be sentenced. If he married her, he would become the laughingstock of the town.

He was vying for the position of head of the family against Percival. He couldn’t afford to have such a stain on his reputation.
