Chapter 1723:
Questions gnawed at him: When did she do it? After his memory faded, or more recently?
“What about Carola and Baker?” he asked, his voice steady despite the storm brewing inside.
His assistant replied, “They met at a banquet. Baker was just a CEO's assistant back then, tagging along with his
boss to the event. They hit it off right away, and not long after, they got married at lightning speed. After their
wedding, Carola invested in the company Baker started, leveraging her connections to secure early deals.
Without her, Baker would still be nobody. Two months after the wedding, Carola was pregnant with Kylee.”
Elwood’s eyes narrowed, his fingers drumming on the desk.
“Two months?” he murmured. “Was the child full-term?”
“No, sir,” his assistant replied. “Records show the child was born prematurely.” A heavy silence settled. Elwood’s
mind raced, piecing together the timeline.
“Go on,” he said after a while.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe assistant cleared his throat. “We looked into Baker. He had a childhood sweetheart, Holley. They were
serious about their relationship—talking marriage—until he suddenly wed Carola. But here's the thing: Baker
never cut ties with Holley. He's been keeping her on the side, even until now.”
Elwood'’s fury blazed hotter as the words sank in.
His assistant continued, his voice steady, “What's more troubling is that Baker's first love, Holley, became
pregnant with his child shortly afterward. That child was born on the sday as Kylee.”
He paused for a moment. “Baker buried this secret deep at first, never daring to breathe a word to Carola. Only
when his illegitimate daughter reached seventeen years old did he finally reveal everything to Carola. After that,
Holley brazenly let their daughter move into Baker's place.”
The moment the assistant spoke those two words “first love,” Elwood’s mind connected the dots with startling
clarity. Holley had to be Belinda’s mother.

Baker truly embodied every definition of scum!
How could he have deceived and hurt Carola with such calculated cruelty? Elwood drew in a shuddering breath
before asking, “Tell me, how did Carola respond when she discovered this betrayal?”
The assistant gathered his thoughts before answering, “Her response proved surprisingly indifferent. Based on
our thorough investigation, Carola displayed no animosity toward her husband’s mistress or the illegitimate
daughter. She even allowed the illegitimate daughter to live in their home. Holley frequently visited the Wright
family under the guise of seeing her daughter, and Carola never seemed to mind that.”
These revelations sent Elwood spiraling deeper into anguish.
