Simon’s face darkened as he finished reading the documents. Then, he coldly turned his gaze to Sophie beside him, his entire body radiating achilling fury as though he was ready to tear Sophie apart on the spot.

“Zaiden’s not my son?” he demanded.
Sophie’s face turned pale, and she weakly tried to argue, “This is slander! Someone is trying to harm me. The child is yours!” Pausing for a moment, she grabbed Simon’s arm and pleaded, Don’t believe these reports. Someone must be plotting against me! Yes, someone is trying to set me up!”
Simon impatiently shook off her hand and took out his phone to call Eason, the doctor who had previously conducted tests for him and Luna.
On the other end, Eason hesitated for a few seconds after hearing Simon’s words.
“Mr. Fulmer, when the results came out back then, Mrs. Fulmer begged me to hide the fact that you were infertile.
“At the time, she said it was a matter of your dignity and career. If it became known that you were infertile, it might affect your ability to take over the Fulmer family business. She asked me to alter the report to make it seem like she was the one who couldn’t conceive.”
After a pause, Eason added, “Mrs. Fulmer truly loved you.”
Simon heard every word Eason said. Every word cut into Simon like a thousand tiny needles, leaving him breathless from the pain.
Thinking back to the strange things Clover had said, Simon suddenly burst into uncontrollable laughter.
So it turned out that his wife had once loved him so deeply. To protect his dignity and future, to spare him from pain, she had even borne the title of being infertile.
Simon thought he deserved to die.
How could he have pushed away a woman who had loved him so much?
As Simon clutched the medical report tightly, he suddenly broke down into sobs.
Sophie, seeing how glum and crazy he was, stood up and tried to sneak away. But she hadn’t gone far before Simon grabbed her.
Gripping Sophie’s head, Simon slammed it forcefully against the wall. His voice was low, hoarse, and terrifying, like a demon straight from hell.
“Sophie Sutherland, was it fun lying to me? Lulu wouldn’t have died if you hadn’t seduced me and stopped me from going to Naavi to see her. Tell me, should I end you myself and send to the underworld to apologize to Lulu?”
With every sentence, Simon slammed Sophie’s head against the wall.

By the time Sophie looked up again, her forehead had a gaping wound. Blood streamed down her face, creating a horrifying sight.

Suddenly, Sophie found a burst of strength and shoved Simon away. Gritting her teeth with resentment, she shouted, “I wouldn’t have had to reach out to Hunter if you were fertile! Does it even matter if the child is yours? Can’t we just live the way we’re living now?
“What’s so great about Luma anyway? If she wanted to go to Naavi, she could’ve just gone! Why did she have to make such a big scene? Everyone knows she just wanted to harm me! She deserved to die! As far as I’m concerned, Hunter didn’t act soon enough!”
