Chapter 366
Keith was exceptionally smart, and Ivanhe had always thought Keithhe had inherited his intelligence. IvanHe prided himself on his high IQ, but a woman deceived him for four years.
Four years ago, this womanEmily appeared before him with two kids, holding a DNA test result. He believed her.
Because she was his son's biological mother, he tolerated her presence in his life.
But all of it turned out to be a lie.
Thinking of this, Ivan tightened his grip again.
"Haley lied to you. It's not what she said. I really am Keith's mom." Emily gasped for air, stubbornly defending herself.
She felt like she was about to lose half her life. If she didn't break free from this man, she believed she would die here today.
After all, Haley had just promised to keep this secret just yesterday. So why did Ivan know today?
It must have been that womanHaley trying to secure her own position, purposely spewing those words...
She had been played to death by that wretched Haley!
"Ivan, we've had the paternity test. I'm the children's mother..." Emily breathed heavily, "Can't you see all that I've done for the children these past four years? How can you deny everything about me just because of a few words from Haley?"
Ivan's gaze had turned razor-sharp.
From the moment he heard Haley's words, he was convinced that Haley was the children's mother.
Even without any evidence, his belief was unwavering.
Because there was Something about Haley that reminded him of the woman from five years ago.…
Because Owen was so attached to Haley...
Because he couldn't resist Angela’s cute.…
Because Angela had called him "daddy"...
Many ironclad facts were racing through his mind.
Haley was the woman he spent that one night with.
Haley was indeed the mother of Keith and Owen, and Angela and Todd were also his flesh and blood. He had missed out on a whole four years with his woman and his children, all because of Emily. A palpable murderous intent arose in Ivan's eyes, and his fingers tightened once more.
The air around Emily grew scarce as she finally understood what it felt like to suffocate. Gasping, she opened her mouth wide, greedily sucking in air, but the grip on her neck forced the air from her lungs as quickly as it entered. "Help, somebody help me!" she pleaded.
Collapsing to the ground, Emily managed to smash a lamp nearby, hoping to make a noise. But the house servants dared not enter, and Madam DeRossMrs. DeRoss was not at home. In the vast DeRoss family mansion, there was no one to come to her rescue. Ivan, watching as her face turned ashen and her breaths became weaker, disgustingly loosened his grip.
He spoke from above her, "I'm giving you one last chance."
Clutching her throat and gasping for air, Emily realized she had come close to death, truly understanding the taste of mortality. This man was intent on killing her, and if she continued to lie, she wouldn't live to see another sunrise. "Ivan, I was wrong..."
