My Flirtacious Husband novel Chapter 718

Chapter 718 The Child Is Not Mine

The news hit Lilian like a sack of bricks.

Horrified at the amount of faith she had in Jack, she recalled how she had vouched for him with her and her unborn child's life, and the promise she made to her father.

As it was her misguided trust in Jack that had cost her father's life, she had become the sinner in her own family.

Lilian did not dare face her uncles as she felt unworthy to apologize to them, though she did fulfill her vow and drove herself out into traffic with purposeful recklessness. However, she awoke to find herself in the hospital.

Though she had lost her child and her legs, she was still alive.

Lilian attempted many times to slit her wrist and her throat after that, but the doctors came to her rescue each time. Jack came to see her when she finally grew weary of defiance.

He treated her and cared for her the same as he always did. Though he spoke at length, not a word registered with Lilian until...

“Did you know that your father had plans for you the whole time?” he drawled, in his elegant, steady pace. “The child isn't mine. Your family places a great deal of importance on their bloodline, as you very well know. Your father only approved of our marriage for my brains to handle the company, and also to keep things from you. He found out what a filthy mixed breed I am after investigating my parents. How would he allow me to taint the purity of the Helt family's royal blood? Your father's plans for you suited me just fine as I've never loved you anyway.”

Jack touched his heart, the blazing flame of passion alight in his eyes. “A girl who I love very much lives here. She is my light. I have to become rich and famous to find her. I want to be her rock so nobody would ever hurt her.”

To preserve the purity of their lineage, the Helts had been marrying the core family members of other large families and even within themselves.

Lilian had thought that it was Jack's qualities that impressed her father when he agreed to their marriage. It turned out that her father looked down on Jack, after all, and was plotting something against her behind her back.

During her extended stay in the hospital lasting several more months, she learned from the news that Jack had plans to shoot a movie.

Upon watching the movie after its release, she realized that Jack was telling the story of his relationship on the silver screen. He reiterated with the film the intense love he had for his girl and his hope that she would one day find him.

Meanwhile, Jack was given a wide berth at the company by the Helts as they were wary of his cruelty.

Upon her complete recovery, Lilian suddenly did not wish to die.

Hell-bent on giving Jack a taste of her misery, she took the initiative to divorce him and began planning in secret with the ten billion in compensation she had gotten from him.
