“Besides, the day you found out she was getting the procedure, didn’t you threaten her?”

Pointing a finger right at Dorian’s nose, Elysia unleashed her fury. Still unsatisfied, she yelled, “Dorian, you’re still denying it. What kind of game are you playing with me?”

Elysia’s accusations left him completely speechless.

She was right. He knew how badly Finnian wanted that child. Logically speaking, if he found out about the appointment, he should have told Finnian, and he had indeed threatened Amara that day.

But as God was his witness, he really hadn’t leaked the information!

He took two steps forward and grabbed her wrists. “Ely, I swear I didn’t tell him. If

I’m lying, let me get hit by a car the moment I step outside!”

“Ha.” Elysia shot him a disdainful glare. “I’m an atheist. What’s the point of swearing oaths to me? Do I look like a toddler to you?”

Dorian: “…”

He realized making empty oaths was pointless, but he couldn’t let this go unresolved.

He looked at her and said, “I swear I didn’t tell Finn. I did find out about her appointment, and when I first heard, I really wanted to tell him.”

“But then I thought about how much you’d hate me for the rest of your life if I did. I didn’t dare breathe a word to him! I really didn’t do it!”

“If you don’t believe me, I’ll call Finn right now and confront him on speaker.”

While explaining, Dorian pulled out his phone and dialed Finnian’s number.

Elysia frowned. He was actually willing to confront Finnian face-to-face? What kind of trick was this?

It wouldn’t take long to find out. She stood there coldly, saying nothing.

The call went through, and Finnian’s deep voice came from the other end. “Dorian, what’s up?”

Dorian glanced at Elysia and said, “Finn, let me ask you something. You found out about Amara’s procedure, right? How did you know?”

Finnian replied, “Jessica told me.”

“

Hearing Jessica’s name made Dorian violently flinch.

His mind went blank, and his immediate instinct was to hang up the phone.

He had grown terrified of that name, especially when brought up in front of Elysia.

Seeing Dorian panicking and trying to end the call, Elysia immediately clamped a hand over his arm and scoffed coldly.

Though she didn’t use much force, the gesture froze Dorian in place.

Every cell in his body was shaking. He looked at her with pleading eyes, but she ignored him keeping eyes fixed on the phone. She was going to hear exactly what Finnian had to say.

Finnian had no idea Elysia was listening. Since Dorian asked, he

elaborated. “Jessica came to

may

office yesterday morning saying she

had something to tell me

“Lately, she’s been trying every trick in the book to see you. She’s even been stalking you.”

“She found out you were staying at my apartment and started camping out in the hallway just to catch a glimpse of you.”

“A couple of days ago, when you and

Amara were arguing outside my

door, she overheard your

conversation. That’s how she found

out about the

re, and she

immediately came and told me.”
