Leigh froze, stunned by the unexpected question, momentarily lost for words. She stared in horror at Jonah's bloodshot eyes, glinting with a fury she had never seen. For years, Jonah had doted on Isla, treating her like a princess.

So, Leigh had always believed that Isla was seen as his laughter, so she couldn't fathom why Jonah suddenly raised this issue.

Jonah. let go of me!" She cried out, blinking rapidly. Ila has called you Dad' all her life. Why would you even question if she's your daughter?"

Jonah threw Leigh to the ground and then let out a bitter laugh. "I finally realize I'm the biggest fool in the

world!

"Leigh, even I know that if both parents have type A blood, they can't have a type B child. You've always insisted Isla was mine, but if that's true, how is she type B "Are you going to tell me that you're different from others?

The room was stunned into silence as Jonah's words struck them all.

This man, filled with love and strong principles, had endured endless struggles in his career for years.

Despite the many hardships, he poured all his love into his wife and daughter. Every day, he pushed himself tirelessly, his whole being fueled by an unyielding energy.

Through all the struggles, he took pride not in his earnings but in his family, the ones he cherished most. But now, painful truths were surfacing, breaking the illusion he had cherished. Under the lovely exterior, there was no deep connection or mutual loyalty-only layers of hidden ugliness and betrayal.

The wife he had cherished had been hiding secrets, having affairs while he remained in the dark. Even the daughter he raised for over a decade turned our not to be his own. Jonah was devastated. The family he'd once protected with his life was collapsing before him.

He couldn't understand where he'd gone wrong. If Leigh had never loved him, why had she come into his life, only to wound him so deeply?

Her selfishness had broken more than just a family; it had crushed his dignity and his daughter's youth. Tormented, Jonah clutched his head, unsure of how he'd face tomorrow.

When he remembered his daughter's sweet smile and the way she called him, tears filled his eyes.

This strong man was overwhelmed with grief, all thanks to Leigh's deceit.

The silence in the room became unbearable, interrupted only by Jonah's heart-wrenching cries.

Then, Patrick suddenly blurted out. "Leigh, Tin blood type B!

"Did you get pregnant with my child after sleeping with me right before your wedding? Is Isla daughter?"

Leigh nodded, confessing she'd known the truth since her early months of marriage.

"As time went on, I avoided talking about it, knowing it would only lead to trouble. I worried Jonah might leave Isla and me behind. I needed stability-a home and a man who could support us." Jonah took a deep breath and managed a pained smile. Leigh, do you even have a conscience? After lying to me for so long, do you feel no shame?"

Leigh shook her head contemptuously. "Are you really hurt by this? Yes, Isla is Patrick's daughter.

"Patrick and I had a plan after graduation-we'd save enough in Harmonfield, get a house, and eventually

marry.

"But after months of hard work, we could barely pay the rent. Patrick said we'd never afford a home on those earnings and needed a different approach.

"He chose to go far away, aiming for wealth or a rich wernan. He even suggested I marry someone who could support me financially.

I resisted at first, but reality forced me to accept this path.

"When it came down to love or survival, I chose survival. You gave me everything I needed, Jonah. During that time, I was truly happy.

"But I couldn't forget Patrick. He was more romantic, while you focused only on providing financially, not emotionally. Patrick didn't have much money but could give me romance!"

"Sh*t! I can't stand this anymore!" Elbert stepped forward, seething. "If you two couldn't afford rent together, why didn't you go for that so-called romance then? Even someone as educated as me has to say you're a disgrace!"

He turned to Jonah. "You can't let this woman off the hook! If it comes to it, I'll rally the alumni and the community to expose her!"

Leigh sneered. "This is the era of women's rights! If you slander me, I'll gather every women's advocacy group to condemn you!"

Elbert held back, realizing how powerful her threat was If she acted on it, the public might very well take

her side.

If he was accused of disrespecting women's right to love and independence, he would be ostracized. Taking a deep breath, Leigh continued, "After the child was born, I checked her blood type but kept it from you. I knew then that Isla was Patrick's daughter. But does it matter?

"Jonah, the point is you have a child to care for. Does it truly make a difference whose child she is?

"Isla has been calling you dad for years. Isn't that enough?

Do you really want to get into an argument over Isla's parentage? Can't you, as a man, be a little more generous and overlook such small details?"

Unable to contain his anger, Elbert snapped, "Jonah, bark when I was trying to secure my position. I told myself repeatedly that I had to be shameless and unscrupulous if I wanted to make in

"I thought I had no shame, but today. I see there's always someone even more shameless This woman is on a whole other level!

Jonah shook his head, visibly hurt. "Leigh, everything you've said today has turned my whole understanding upside down

So, in your world, it doesn't matter who fathered the child, as long as she calls me Dad.

"And the money? It's mine to give, and you can spend it however you want, even if it's to enjoy yourself with someone else and call that romance. Do you truly think this way?" "Fine" Jonah sighed heavily. I accept it. Take your child with you."noveldrama

Suddenly, his phone rang urgently. He answered instinctively, "Harper, what are you up to? I'm busy-

"Mr. Ferguson, it's Isla... She jumped from the building! She committed suicide!
