?Chapter 1723:


    Questions gnawed at him: When did she do it? After his memory faded, or more recently?


    “What about Car 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, Car invested in thepany Baker started, leveraging her connections to secure early deals. Without her, Baker would still be nobody. Two months after the wedding, Car 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.


    The assistant cleared his throat. “We looked into Baker. He had a childhood sweetheart, Holley. They were serious about their rtionship—talking marriage—until he suddenly wed Car. 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 zed 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 same day as Kylee.”


    He paused for a moment. “Baker buried this secret deep at first, never daring to breathe a word to Car. Only when his illegitimate daughter reached seventeen years old did he finally reveal everything to Car. After that, Holley brazenly let their daughter move into Baker’s ce.”


    The moment the assistant spoke those two words “first love,” Elwood’s mind connected the dots with startling rity. Holley had to be Belinda’s mother.


    ???????? ?????????????? ???? ??????????????????.??????


    Baker truly embodied every definition of scum!


    How could he have deceived and hurt Car with such calcted cruelty? Elwood drew in a shuddering breath before asking, “Tell me, how did Car respond when she discovered this betrayal?”


    The assistant gathered his thoughts before answering, “Her response proved surprisingly indifferent. Based on our thorough investigation, Car disyed 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 Car never seemed to mind that.”


    These revtions sent Elwood spiraling deeper into anguish.


    Despite his fractured memories, something deep within his consciousness stirred.


    He possessed an unshakeable conviction that Car would never silently endure such profound humiliation.


    Her husband had already shattered her trust sopletely. Why hadn’t she filed for divorce?
