Chapter 161

Suddenly, Irene felt as if something was stuck in her chest, suffocating her.

“You’re not insisting on staying, are you?” Henry growled, seeing the look on her face. “Are you really making a bastard called Isaac daddy? Would he accept that? Do you think I would?” Irene suddenly realized that she had missed out something important–Isaac was the heir to his family’s inestimable wealth!

The greater the dynasty, the more selective they were about bloodlines.
