After Divorce I Married a Tycoon-Chapter 197: Dare to Call Her a Bitch Again, and I’ll Kill You
Scarlett Jewel had no idea why Gavin Sinclair had suddenly gone crazy.
But when she heard he was dragging her to get a paternity test for the baby, she nearly died of fright.
If they actually did the test, she couldn’t imagine what would await her once the results were out.
She only knew that if the results showed the child wasn’t Gavin Sinclair’s, she would likely die a miserable death.
With that thought, Scarlett Jewel started crying and wailing.
"I’m not going! I don’t want any paternity test! The baby is yours, why do we need to test it?"
"What will our child think later on, knowing his own father suspected he wasn’t his real son?"
"Let’s confirm if the child is mine first, then we’ll talk."
With that, Gavin Sinclair grabbed Scarlett Jewel and started dragging her toward the hospital.
Scarlett Jewel was still crying and trying to defend herself.
"Those photos are fake! I was framed!"
"Right, it must have been that bitch Claire Mercer who framed me. She..."
Before she could finish, a sharp SLAP cut her off.
Gavin Sinclair’s hand slammed viciously across Scarlett Jewel’s face with the force of a thunderbolt.
Caught completely off guard, Scarlett Jewel’s head was knocked to the side.
A clear, red handprint instantly swelled on her cheek, and a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.
Her long hair fell in a disheveled mess against her face.
A fiery sting immediately flared across her cheek.
She clutched her stinging cheek again, her eyes filled with terror as she looked at Gavin Sinclair.
Gavin Sinclair’s cold eyes glinted like the razor-sharp edge of a blade.
He squeezed a few words through his teeth.
"Call her a bitch again, and I’ll kill you."
He might have been fine if her name wasn’t mentioned, but the moment Scarlett brought up Claire Mercer, Gavin felt like a complete and utter idiot.
If Scarlett Jewel hadn’t deliberately played the victim in front of him...
If she hadn’t constantly brought up the fact that she saved him...
If she hadn’t been subtly and overtly seducing him, playing the sympathy card...
Would he have lost Claire Mercer?
Losing Claire was the biggest mistake of his life.
And it was all because of this bitch, Scarlett Jewel.
And she still had the gall to mention Claire in front of him, even daring to curse her?
Scarlett Jewel ignored the pain on her face.
She desperately clutched Gavin Sinclair’s sleeve, trying to use her tears and their past affection to quell his anger and bring him back to his senses.
"Gavin, please let me explain. Those photos are a misunderstanding, really. The baby is yours... I’ve never been with any other man, I swear..."
"A misunderstanding?" Gavin Sinclair’s voice was as cold as ice.
His eyes churned with a violent rage born of being played for a fool.
He grabbed her chin again, his fingers digging in so hard it felt like he would shatter her jawbone.
"Even now, you’re still taking me for a fool?"
"Do I really look that easy to deceive?"
Scarlett Jewel shook her head frantically.
Tears flew from her eyes.
"No, Gavin, I really didn’t lie to you, really! You have to believe me..."
"Believe you?" Gavin Sinclair’s lips curled into a cold smirk.
"It’s because I believed you so much that you were able to wrap me around your little finger."
"Besides, if the child is mine, why won’t you get the paternity test? What are you afraid of?"
Scarlett Jewel’s tear-filled eyes darted away.
She didn’t dare look at Gavin Sinclair’s dark, stormy face. "I... I’m scared of the pain. You know I am, I’m just scared of the pain..."
"Scared of the pain?" Gavin Sinclair sneered, grabbing a fistful of her hair and yanking her head back.
Scarlett Jewel screamed in pain, feeling as if her entire scalp was about to be torn off.
She struggled, but couldn’t break free from his iron grip.
"Gavin Sinclair, let me go!" Her shrill scream pierced the night sky.
But Gavin Sinclair only answered with a bone-chillingly sinister sneer.
"Let you go? In your dreams!"
His voice was laced with an unquestionable ruthlessness.
The fire in his eyes looked like it could burn her to ashes on the spot.
"This amniocentesis is happening today. It must be done."
With that, Gavin Sinclair dragged her by the hair toward the hospital entrance.
Scarlett Jewel was hysterical with pain.
Hot tears streamed down her cheeks again.
The roots of her hair, yanked by Gavin Sinclair, felt like they were being ripped out, and her whole scalp was numb with pain.
Every time she struggled, a sharp pain shot through her scalp.
A dull, heavy feeling also began to pull at her lower abdomen.
She was in so much pain!
But more than the pain, a deep-seated fear spread through every drop of her blood.
’What do I do?’
’I can’t take the gamble.’
’Because I’m not even sure whose baby this is.’
’But there’s a very high chance this baby has nothing to do with Gavin Sinclair.’
’If the Sinclair family finds out the baby isn’t theirs...’
’Knowing the way the Sinclair Family handles things, I’ll be skinned alive if I’m lucky.’
’I only managed to marry into the Sinclair Family, with great difficulty, because of this baby.’
’If they find out I’m not even carrying Sinclair blood, the family will make me suffer horribly.’
’After that, there will be no place for me left in Rhonia.’
’On top of that, the fact that I plagiarized Claire Mercer is common knowledge now.’
’My career path as a designer is completely blocked.’
’So, how am I supposed to live in the future?’
’Am I going to have to go back to that life abroad?’
’No.’
’Those rich men abroad only wanted me because I was young, for my body, because I was good in bed.’
’Not one of them was willing to marry me; they all treated me like a plaything.’
’And those bastards were all perverts, each one more twisted than the last, with more and more depraved kinks.’
’The money they gave me was enough to maintain my lavish lifestyle, sure.’
’But the physical torment and pain they put me through are things I can never forget.’
’Those were nightmarish days.’
’Every time I think about it, a chill runs through my entire body.’
’I never want to live that kind of life again.’
’The Sinclair family may look down on me, give me dirty looks, and mock me with cold words. Their eyes might be filled with contempt and disdain.’
’But compared to those two years abroad, my life with the Sinclairs is practically heaven.’
’And Gavin Sinclair is my best option.’
"Gavin... I’m begging you..."
Gavin Sinclair kept his death grip on her hair and dragged her into the elevator.
"Wait for the DNA results. If the child is mine, I will naturally ensure he is provided for his entire life."
"But if the child is not mine..."
Gavin Sinclair suddenly lowered his gaze, his eyes turning cold and savage.
The curve of his lips made him look like a demon straight from hell.
He bit out several words through his teeth.
"I will make you pay a painful price."
In the end, Scarlett Jewel was dragged all the way to the hospital by Gavin Sinclair, straight to the DNA testing department.
She struggled the entire time.
But how could she possibly resist the enraged Gavin Sinclair?
In the hallway outside the ultrasound room, Scarlett Jewel was still trying to find a way to escape.
But her hands were pinned tightly by Gavin Sinclair, and her legs were held down by him as well.
"I suggest you cooperate quietly and stop this futile struggling. Otherwise, you’ll only be hurting yourself."
The doctor performing the amniocentesis had been called in to work overtime on short notice.
He arrived to see their unseemly struggle, and his brow furrowed.
When Scarlett Jewel saw the doctor approaching, she looked as though she had seen her savior.
"Doctor, please, help me! He’s a madman..."
Hearing this, the doctor frowned and looked toward Gavin Sinclair.
