“Do you remember the rumor about Lilah's pregnancy outside wedlock?
It seems this man is saying the truth! Wasn't she dating Iker back then?"
“Humph. I'm not surprised to hear this. Lilah is truly a promiscuous woman. I wonder how many men she's been involved with! Such a shameless woman isn't supposed to be Gerard's future wife!"
In short, everyone was disgusted by Lilah.
Laura pretended to be perplexed at the sudden turn of events, but a hint of a smile flitted across her face.
She turned to glance at Gerard to see how he looked. No man would take kindly to the claim that his girlfriend had been involved with different men.
However, Gerard stepped forward and confronted George. “You say you know my girlfriend, eh? Where's the evidence of that?" he demanded.
"Of course, I... I know her!" George stuttered.
"If he has no evidence, take him to the police station and let him be charged for slander!" Gerard ordered his bodyguards.
The crowd was stunned by his unexpected response. Was his trust for Lilah so strong and deep?
Before the bodyguards could bundle him off, George cried out, “It's this hotel. Back then, Lilah invited me here, and that was how we had sex. But afterward, I couldn't reach her anymore!"
He looked at Lilah with forlorn eyes and went on, "I know I'm not as wealthy as your new boyfriend, but how could you abandon me like this? I knew you were pregnant. I just want to know where the child is!"
“Lilah, your ex-boyfriend has come back for you, it seems. He's been searching for you all these years. So just tell him what he wants to know and be done with it!" Julie scolded her.
"So, you want your child, right?" Lilah asked George with a sneer.
"Well, it's true that I gave birth to a child."
Laura covered her mouth in shock, and everyone else was equally astonished. They couldn't believe their ears. Lilah had actually confessed!
She'd previously had a child with another man, and yet, she was seeking to marry Gerard? How shameless she was!
Julie turned to Brenda and said, "Brenda, it's just like I told you before. These women nowadays cannot be trusted. I've always said that Lilah doesn't deserve Gerard at all. Now, you can see what's going on."
"Nonsense!" Brenda retorted in displeasure.
“Why are you angry with me, Brenda?" Julie wondered in surprise.
“Shut up!" Brenda scolded her through gritted teeth. If not for the love of her late brother, she would have given this annoying sister-in-law of hers a piece of her mind!
"Tell me, where is the child, Lilah?" George asked yet again. He never anticipated that things would go so smoothly. He feigned anxiety and eagerness.
Deep down, there was a sense of contempt in his heart for Lilah.
Even though he had not slept with her, her admission meant that someone else had slept with her. How on earth could such a shameless woman dream of marrying Gerard? It was a joke, to say the least!
