My Ex-Husband Always Knew That I Had Cheated on Him-Chapter 243: Just Accept the Loss

After Gabriella Dyer finished speaking, through the rearview mirror, she gave the driver a look full of intention.

The driver nodded and immediately stepped on the accelerator.

The sudden acceleration pressed Chloe Simpson’s back tightly against the seat.

She instinctively grabbed the armrest of the seat. Fortunately, she was wearing a seatbelt.

Behind them, Jack Woods was driving, with Alexander Johnson seated in the back.

"Eldest Young Master, Madam’s car has accelerated, and suddenly made a left turn. The destination seems to be... the Johnson Family Residence."

Jack also hit the gas, firmly tailing Gabriella’s car. Seeing Gabriella’s sudden left turn, he hesitated briefly before hurriedly informing Alexander.

"!"

Alexander’s heart tightened. His grip on the phone abruptly increased in force, the veins on the back of his hand bulging one by one.

A car accident had just occurred involving Chloe, and he had ordered Jack to handle it.

In mere moments, Gabriella had taken Chloe and Lucas Hughes away from Ansun Emergency Center.

Now, they were heading straight for the Johnson Family Residence.

Clearly, everything was evident; there was no need for investigations anymore — this was Gabriella’s doing!

As for her motive, wasn’t it crystal clear?

Truth be told, if not for Chloe, Gabriella wouldn’t have won this round no matter what.

But now... Alexander’s thoughts lingered on Chloe, on that familiar face from many years ago, and on the child inside Chloe’s womb. His heartbeat accelerated several times over.

Never mind, losing this round is losing it.

After all, it isn’t life or death in a single game; one loss might even pave the way for an opportunity to advance.

"Eldest Young Master?"

Jack, noticing Alexander’s prolonged silence, called out to him again through the rearview mirror.

The distance to the Johnson Family Residence was down to just 1 kilometer now.

Jack had already started gradually slowing down.

Alexander closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and gave the order: "Follow them! Head to the residence!"

"Yes!" Jack nodded, stepping on the gas once again.

Three minutes later, Gabriella’s car came to a steady halt at the entrance of the residence.

Alexander arrived right after. Seeing how matters had escalated to this point, there was no longer any reason to hide anything.

Gabriella had already pushed things this far, and if he retreated any further, he feared neither Chloe nor her unborn child would survive intact.

"Alexander, you’ve come too. Such a coincidence. Did you know I brought Miss Simpson here? Rest assured, Mother will certainly help you."

Gabriella stepped out of the car, glanced at Alexander Johnson beside her, still wearing the appearance of a benevolent mother.

"Very well, thank you, Mother."

Alexander nodded and even bowed to Gabriella.

This moment, standing at the entrance of the Johnson Family Residence, left him with no other choice but to act accordingly.

Chloe, upon stepping out of the car and spotting Alexander, paused mid-step. She simply stood there staring at him, not moving forward even a single step.

At this moment, she finally pieced everything together.

The child in her womb was not Lucas Hughes’s. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

And the man she had been with that night was not Lucas either.

It was Alexander Johnson!

From beginning to end, it had always been Alexander Johnson!

She instinctively touched her lower abdomen. Her heart felt a hollow emptiness.

She couldn’t discern whether she was happy or sad, because regardless of joy or sorrow, everything was enveloped by a looming unease.

All because the child in her belly was Alexander’s — was the Johnson Family’s. And now, it had even made the hot headlines. She, too, had been brought to the Johnson Family.

Thinking of this, Chloe suddenly laughed.

She now saw herself as utterly laughable, being here, distracted by petty thoughts even till this moment.

Hah, from the moment she conceived Alexander’s child, both she and the child in her belly were already beyond her control, weren’t they?

"Miss Simpson, please."

As Chloe stood there dazed, Gabriella’s voice came through once again.

"..."

Chloe took a deep breath, like a puppet, and accompanied Alexander and Gabriella into the Johnson Family Residence.

But Chloe couldn’t have imagined that as soon as they entered the living room, Gabriella dropped to her knees with a heavy thud.

"Father, Mother, it’s all my fault. I failed to properly teach Alexander. If you want to blame someone, blame me! Do not hold Alexander accountable!"
