Gu Qiwu shouted coldly, that stern aura of his becoming more prominent, "Tell me! Whose child is it?!"

There was a fury in his shout as Gu Qiwu took a step closer, his eyes ablaze with anger. He stared at Doris's beautiful face. Frightened by his sudden shout, an uneasiness flashed across her pale face. You could tell from the depth of her blues eyes that she was terrified. She shrunk and pulled the blanket tightly towards her as she cowered towards the bedhead and fixed her eyes on Gu Qiwu.

"I don't know what you're talking about. If I'm pregnant, then it's obviously yours," Doris lowered her gaze and said softly.

Upon hearing that, Gu Qiwu immediately laughed grimly. He reached out and held Doris's chin tightly, meeting her blue eyes. "Doris, do you take me for a fool? I haven't touched you in at least half a year. How could it be mine? Haven't I been good to you? Why did you still plan on lying to me right now? That you would betray me? Tell me! Whose b*stard is this?! Tell me!"

His violent shout penetrated every corner of the room. Doris could only feel the pain on her chin that she almost cried out.

"Let go of me!"

Doris struggled hard for a while, and her expression was pale as she pushed Gu Qiwu away with much effort. She could not help but raise her voice and yell in return, "Don't give me that look. Betrayal? You betrayed me first! Gu Qiwu, you haven't explain about you and Mu Zi to me yet! Mu Lingtian and Mu Lingshi are your children. You and Mu Zi lied to me for decades! Aren't you worse? I was deceived for decades. Should I just go with it then? Why are you allowed to cheat on me while I'm not allowed to do the same to you?"

Doris seemed to have found her courage again. The aura that came from her was no less than Gu Qiwu's. "I told you before that I'm not weak. If you did it, so can I!" Her tone was filled with ridicule.

"Mu Zi and I happened before us. Besides, you've always known that I had a past with a certain woman. You said that you didn't care, and right now you want to use it against me? Doris, don't take advantage of the patience I have for you!"

"Enough! What patience? What have you been patient with me about? When you and that witch, Mu Zi, had two children, did you tell me? When I married you years ago, do you remember what you said to me? You said that you'd make me the happiest woman on earth, the elegant Madam Gu, and in the end, what have you given me all these years? Haven't you always been vigilant about me at all times? Thinking about how to get back your things from me? All the so-called sky-high priced betrothal gifts and pledge of eternal love...do you really think I'm a fool?" Doris mocked in disdain.

"You went behind my back with Mu Zi! What about her made you so fond of her? You should be grateful that I didn't find out that the woman was her. Otherwise, I would've killed her! At least, she knew it herself and ended her life by jumping off a building, so I didn't have to do anything."

"Shut up! Doris, I've been wrong to Mu Zi all these years. I've let Lingtian and Lingshi down, but I've never wronged you and Lingsha! What do you think you've been relying on? It's because I do feel some affinity for you! How have I wronged you all these years? Fortune, feelings, what have I not fulfilled you with? In the end, you want to play these tricks and take everything away from me. Aren't you be a tad bit too greedy?"

While Gu Qiwu spoke through gritted teeth, his hand that pinched Doris' chin tightened. Soon, there was a bruise on Doris's fair skin. "What were you planning on doing with another man's illegitimate child? You hid it from me and were trying to divorce me so that I would pity you and compensate you, weren't you? Even Lingsha became your chess piece! You treated us all like chess pieces. Isn't that so?" Gu Qiwu's stern voice held no warmth as he asked coldly.

Doris only felt a burning pain from his grip as she struggled. "Let go of me! Let me go!"

"Tell me! Whose child is it?!"

"I don't know! Even if I do, do you think I'd tell you? That man is a hundred times better than you, Gu Qiwu! A hundred times nicer too!"

Pa!

Before Doris could finish, Gu Qiwu had already let go of her, then a slap rang out. Because it was so hard, Doris almost fell off her bed. Shrieking, she fell into her blanket!

"You shameless woman! I've always been loyal to you. I was even cruel to Mu Zi and the children, but you dare do this to me. Very well, you want to get a divorce and take all my assets to enjoy with another man, don't you? In your dreams, I won't get a divorce with you. I want to slowly waste you away and let you know that this is what happens when you betray me!"

Gu Qiwu looked viciously at the sorry-looking Doris as he spoke cruelly. His gaze was so fierce as if he wished he could just kill Doris.

Smiling coldly, she slowly propped herself up and wiped away the traces of blood at the corner of her lips before she said, "Gu Qiwu, do you think you can control me? In your dreams! Do you think I'd be afraid of your betrayal? You have no right to talk about betrayal."

"We'll just wait and see then. I'd like to see who it is. Doris, I'll make you pay for betraying me and trampling all over my love."

Gu Qiwu's bloodshot eyes glared at Doris!

It would be a lie if he said that he did not feel a little depressed and bitter! Only he would understand!

The kind of feelings he had for this cruel woman—

It was love and hate at once!

He loved the way she had an undeniable charm. Gu Qiwu admitted that all these years, he had only ever been patient and caring for this woman, including the way he was willing to cruelly turn his back on Mu Zi, Lingtian, and Lingshi for her.

He hated her, hated the way she was always scheming against him. She had a dark side to her and used vicious means!

Even if Gu Qiwu had given his all to treat her well, she still put her guard up against him, tried to control him, and even thought about how to step all over him!

How terrifying was a woman like that?

How had he fallen for such a woman and indulged her all these years?
