The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 217

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.
