The Doormat Wife’s Ultimate Glow-Up novel Chapter 315

“Leslie told me you found out the baby’s hers. She said you’re only doing all this to get back at her,” Sebastian said, his voice tight with frustration.

“Reese, are you out of your mind? You actually forged evidence just to drag Leslie down? Do you even realize that’s illegal?”

He paused, his tone a shade softer. “It’s not too late to stop. Go to the NSB, tell them you messed up, admit you faked the evidence. Turn yourself in. I’ll back you up, I promise. I’ll figure out a way to get you out of this.”

“You’re impossible!” Sebastian pointed at her, his finger trembling with anger, but her icy silence just made it all bounce back on him. Finally, he dropped his hand and kicked the table hard. The dull thud echoed through the empty interrogation room.
