บททั้งหมดของ One Too Many Red Flags: บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

To be honest, Nathan's lies were not just clumsy, they were riddled with holes.The signal in the hospital corridor was indeed poor, but the VIP ward had Wi-Fi. If he truly needed the internet, there was no need to go downstairs. He could have simply walked to the ward next to the operating room and connected to the Wi-Fi there.And foreigners were still human beings, not cold-blooded monsters. In any humane country, no one would force a man to leave his wife while she was in labor just to attend a meeting.Kenses was a developed nation, one that placed great value on family. Something like that would never happen there.Ian listened quietly to Nathan's lies. For a moment, he had the urge to rush forward and punch the bastard in the face.But he held back.There would be a time for that punch—but not now."Ian, I know I was wrong," Nathan said, lowering his stance, his voice filled with a practiced sincerity. "You can hit me, you can scold me—I deserve it. But please, I'm beggin

Bethany never liked Phoebe, but she still cared deeply about the child growing inside her.After all, this was her first grandchild. From the moment Phoebe became pregnant, Bethany had been waiting for the day she could finally hold her grandson in her arms.Nathan never mentioned the premature birth to his parents. He knew exactly how they would react if they found out. To them, nothing mattered more than the baby's well-being—certainly not Phoebe's health.Modern medicine had advanced enough to ensure premature babies could grow up healthy, but the older generation never trusted such claims. In their minds, a premature child would always be frail. Only babies born after a full-term pregnancy could be considered truly healthy. If the mother suffered in the process, that was a small price to pay for the child's future.Even when Phoebe's condition became critical, Nathan's parents would never have agreed to an early delivery. They would have insisted on giving her nutritional suppl

Bethany's sharp scream cut through the air. Nathan turned, startled, and saw the group of well-dressed women around the stroller scattering in all directions. Their faces, pale and twisted, reflected the kind of fear that seeped into your bones and stayed there.Bethany collapsed to the ground. Her knees simply gave out.Nathan rushed forward and caught her. "Mom, what's wrong? You look awful."Her face was bloodless. She trembled as she raised a shaking hand, pointing at the stroller. Her voice barely made it out. "The baby... the baby..."Ian chose that moment to approach. He lowered his eyes to the stroller and let a faint smile curve his lips. "Aren't you going to take a look at your newborn son, Nathan?"Something felt wrong. Deeply wrong. Nathan's chest tightened as he stepped forward, his legs heavy beneath him. With each step, a cold weight pressed harder against his ribs.Behind him, Bethany began to wail. The sound was raw and broken. "My grandson—my poor grandson!"

The moment Phoebe's tear fell, the camera shifted, zooming in on Nathan. At that exact time, he was in one of the VIP suites in the hospital, caught up in a steamy nurse role-play with Clara.The sight sent a ripple of fury through the crowd. Even Nathan's own relatives, usually inclined to defend him, couldn't help but curse him silently as a scumbag. The other guests, however, had no reservations about voicing their outrage aloud."My God, is Nathan even human? His wife is lying on the operating table giving birth, and he's out there fooling around with his mistress!""This is the so-called model husband? The city's beloved 'good man'? What a joke!""Disgusting! Now I understand why Phoebe chose to abort the baby. If it were me, I'd do the same. I'd never give birth to a child for a man like that."As the crowd's anger swelled, Bethany, unable to sit quietly any longer, spoke up to defend her son. "That video is obviously edited," she said. "Nathan made mistakes, but I know my s

Larry and Bethany had far too much faith in their household staff.Ian and his men had all served in the military. Ordinary people didn't stand a chance against them. Ian didn't even lift a finger. With a simple gesture, one of his subordinates took down the entire group of servants as if they were nothing more than paper dolls.The flash drives remained in Ian's possession. Worse still, several guests had recorded the chaotic scene on their phones. Once those videos made their way online, the Marshal family's already crumbling reputation would be completely shattered.In the middle of the commotion, Ian drove off in his SUV, leaving nothing behind but a cloud of dust. Bethany, on the other hand, collapsed to the floor. Tears poured down her face as she wailed. "Oh, dear heavens, what are we going to do? The Harris family is trying to destroy us!""You disgraceful fool!" With Ian gone, Larry had no one left to vent his rage on but his own son. He marched over and struck Nathan ha
