Chapter 1681
Horey was not the only one who reacted badly.
Even Kairo, who was pinned to the ground under Frank's foot, began to thrash about wildly when he heard Frank's words.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
His eyes were bloodshot with rage, and he turned to Horey, his eyes seemingly ablaze.
"Horey! What the hell does he mean by that?!" Kairo demanded, his voice a mix of fury and desperation.
"I-I..." Horey stammered, her face flushing with embarrassment and anger.
She could not find the words to explain and finally lashed out at Frank, "You just took one look at me how could you possibly know the child isn't his? Are you trying to drive a wedge between us on purpose?"
Frank was unperturbed. He stared down at the bewildered Kairo and chuckled. "Determining if someone is pregnant is straightforward, but figuring out who the father is? That's a bit more complicated. Even I can't do that."
"Then why are you talking nonsense here?!" Horey retorted, her voice rising with frustration.
"However!" Frank's eyes narrowed as he added, "Ancient medicine studies every aspect of a pregnant woman's condition, including her psychology." "Psychology of pregnant women?" the crowd murmured, including Yosil, who had never heard of such a thing in Draconian ancient medicine. "Yes." Frank continued, "Pregnant women have a unique psychological profile. They naturally feel vulnerable and instinctively seek the protection of their child's father."
"However..."
Frank smirked and pointed a finger at Horey. "You've been keeping a deliberate distance from your senior since the beginning. You said you wouldn't even let him touch your hands. This indicates a sense of exclusion.
"You're instinctively guarding against any perceived threat to the child from other males. Considering how your senior looks at you, I'm certain the child isn't his.
"And he doesn't know."
Hearing Frank's explanation, Kairo, now silent and trembling under Frank's foot, turned to Horey with a devastated expression.
"Horey, i-is what he said true?" Kairo's voice quivered with disbelief and pain.
"No, Kairo! Don't listen to his nonsense. I wouldn't be so shameless..." Horey's voice faltered, her eyes darting around nervously.
"You bitch!" Realizing the truth from Horey's wavering response, Kairo exploded in rage.
He had been cheated on and had
been kept in the dark about it, and Horey had even gotten pregnant. Kairo had been happy to be an expecting father, and he did not even notice the child was not his
"You... you...!" His eyes were bloodshot, filled with betrayal and fury.
There was hardly a man who could stomach such a revelation. To make matters worse, Kairo had gone to great lengths, even infiltrating Kornac's Keep, to acquire the
Bloodcrane Spiritbloom for Horey's
pregnancy.
All the things he had done now made it seem like he was the biggest fool in the world!
"Let me go! I'm going to kill that
deceitful woman!" Kairo howled, struggling furiously under Frank's firm hold. But Frank pressed Kairo's head firmly against the ground with his foot, preventing any escape.
"So, Kairo." Frank leaned in, his voice calm and cold. "Are you still interested in the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom?"
"Who the fuck cares about that?!" Kairo spat out in fury. "If you don't let me go, Cloudnine Sect will hunt you down! Just one call from me, and Cloudnine Sect will kill all of you!"
Kairo's desperate threats sent a chill through the crowd. Whispers erupted among them, urging Frank to back down.
"Mr. Lawrence, maybe you should let him go. If Cloudnine Sect gets involved..." Some people began to advise cautiously.
But Frank remained unfazed by the warnings. He merely gazed down at Kairo and said, "I just need you to admit defeat. Promise to honor the bet you made, and I'll release you."
"Holy crap..."
