The IVF Secret That Shook a Dynasty novel Chapter 85

“Vivica, you told me Chaim wasn’t Fletcher’s biological son, that he was from some sperm bank… Tell me the truth, did you cheat on him during your marriage?”

Vivica shot back in anger, “Mom, do you still not see what kind of person Fletcher is? You actually believe him?”

She sent the voice message, and Evelyn immediately called her.

Vivica was angry and frustrated, but she answered anyway.

“Vivica, it’s not that I believe him, but he said Chaim looks exactly like the other man. He also said this man is rich and powerful, a highly respected lawyer that people can’t even hire with money, yet he’s handling your divorce for free. And you’re telling me there’s nothing going on between you two?”

Vivica was so angry she was speechless. Normally, a daughter should be open and honest with her parents. But Vivica knew her parents all too well. If they found out about Chaim’s connection to Joseph and the Baird family, they would undoubtedly try to leverage the relationship, maybe even go to the Bairds for money.

So Vivica couldn’t tell the truth.

“Mom, the resemblance is just a coincidence. There are billions of people in the world; plenty of them look alike. And I don’t have the connections to know someone that powerful. Quintina asked her uncle to pull some strings and introduce me to a divorce lawyer.”

“Is that so? Well, if he’s handling your case for free, does that mean he likes you? From the way Fletcher was talking, his family is extremely wealthy! If you divorce Fletcher and remarry, then…”

“Mom! Is money all you think about? You spend all day trying to sell your daughter for a profit. When will you ever genuinely care about whether I’m happy or not?”

Vivica’s voice rose sharply, and Evelyn stammered. “I was just asking… Why are you getting so angry?”

Seeing her daughter was upset, she changed the subject. “So, are you coming for dinner tomorrow?”

“No, I have to take care of Chaim. Besides, you two don’t treat me like a daughter anyway. You’ll probably have a better time without me there.”

“Oh, you child, how could I—”
