Chapter 313
Dominic was momentarily stunned.
Quick as a flash, Hannah snatched the phone back from his hand and answered softly, “I’m busy right now. I’ll have the nanny‘ pick you up, okay?”
“Okay.” Chloe sounded a little disappointed but still sweetly said,Bye, Mommy!”
Hannah didn’t respond. Instead, she hung up immediately, not daring to hesitate for a moment because Dominic’s sharp gaze seemed like it could pierce right through her.
“Whose child is that?” His eyes were sharp, filled with scrutiny and a chill that cut deep.
Hannah clenched her fingers tightly. She avoided her gaze and said stiffly, “It’s none of your business.”
Dominic grabbed her by the neck, forcing her to look him in the eyes. “Tell me! Whose child is that?”
“She’s mine! Happy now?” Hannah snapped back defiantly.
Dominic’s temples throbbed violently. Veins bulged on the back of his hand. Of course he knew that. The kid called her “mommy “, after all.
But still, he forced himself to keep his anger down and pressed, “Who’s the father?”
Hannah froze for a moment at his question. A complicated emotion flashed in her eyes.
Dominic stared intently, secretly hoping that, despite all his precautions during their time together, the child might still be his.
“It’s not you.” Hannah’s words snuffed out the last flicker of hope in his heart. “It’s my ex–boyfriend.”
“Well, Hannah, you really are something.”
So she’d been with another man behind his back. Was he just a backup?
Dominic could no longer control his emotions. His fingers tightened slowly.
As Dominic stared at her struggling, his face was extremely stormy. He really wanted face turning purple from lack of air, he finally let g

Hannah collapsed back onto the couch, clutching her neck and gasping desperately.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, she pulled out a mirror and looked at herself. She then screamed, “It I get bruises on my neck, how am I supposed to be on camera tomorrow?”
Dominic was about to explode from fury at her ridiculous concern.
“You’re worried about your looks on camera right now?” He scoffed, towering over her. “Hannah, listen carefully. You’ll never have the chance to be on camera again.”
His words were cold and merciless, like a death sentence for her career.
Hannah froze at his words. Her face paled instantly, She immediately grabbed onto his pant leg and pleaded, “Don’t!”
Her voice trembled as a pleading expression crossed her face. “Please don’t blacklist me! Didn’t you want a child? I’ll give you one. I’ll have your baby, okay? I’ll be your mistress and keep our deal going. Please, give me back my resources! I don’t want to go back to being poor again!”
