Chapter 232 Catch Them Red Handed #Finished âRolandâ¦â Sasha sobbed, tears streaming down her face, pleading with Roland, hoping he would soften. âYou know Iâve always wanted a family and a child. Iâ¦
âWe can have more children in the future. Why do you insist on keeping this one?â Roland was puzzled. âIsnât this a mark of humiliation? Wonât seeing the child remind of what happened?â
you Sashaâs sobs seemed to choke in her throat. She was taken aback.
Feeling exhausted, Roland pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed. âThe wedding will proceed as planned today, but afterward, you have two choices. First, you give up this child, and we start over.
Second, if you insist on keeping the child, we wonât register our marriage, and Iâll announce our divorce, taking all the blame.â
The wedding had to take place. If they didnât get married that day, Sasha would face criticism.
Having already endured such a blow, he couldnât bear to let Sasha suffer the pain of rumors and gossip.
Sasha stared at Roland in shock, her eyes vacant, as if she had lost her greatest support. She immediately felt as if she was adrift, consumed by a wave of anxiety and fear.
She reached out, attempting to grasp Roland.
Roland didnât give Sasha a chance to speak. âSasha, this is the best I can do.â
Sashaâs hand paused, and she cried even harder.
Hearing this, Isabella and Alexander finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems Roland is a good person, but he has his limits. He doesnât blame the soâcalled victim but also wonât let the criminal escape the consequences. Itâs just that⦠Dude, you shouldnât let her choose. Youâre a gentleman, but she doesnât deserve it! And does this wedding have to go on?
Roland was feeling extremely distressed and naturally couldnât calm down to comfort Sasha.
âIn an hour, the ceremony will begin. Think it through carefully,â Roland told her.
He had done his best for someone he had cherished for years.
As he left the room, Isabella and Alexander saw Rolandâs expression. He looked as if he had died inside.
Seeing Roland unsteady on his feet, Alexander stepped forward to support him. Roland immediately waved him off and said, âIâm fine. Iâm fine.â
From the room behind them came continuous sobbing. Roland furrowed his brows. âLetâs go.â
Isabella and Alexander accompanied Roland to the lounge downstairs to rest for a while.
Iâm going to deal with Ethan,â Roland said directly to Alexander. âHe must pay for what he did.â
Alexander didnât answer. Instead, he asked bluntly, âAre you still going to hold the wedding?â
Isabella gave her husband a thumbsâup, silently praising his bravery.

#Finished just stand by and watch Roland be deceived. Even though it didnât concern them, they would feel guilty if they didnât take action to help their friend.
But if they had made a move and the other party disregarded their good intentions, then they wouldnât interfere.
Sure enough, Roland was taken aback. He frowned and said, âThis situation is painful for me, but Sasha is pitiful too. She didnât betray me intentionally. I canât just abandon her.â
Roland assumed his friends were simply standing up for him.
âReally? It wasnât intentional?â Alexander replied coldly âWhat do you mean by that?â Roland was startled.
âI donât think sheâs as passive and innocent as she appears. Maybe sheâs willing from the start,â
Alexander stated bluntly.
âIsnât this just blaming the victim?â Roland suddenly became agitated.
Isabella quickly interjected, âAre you sure she was forced?â
Roland was about to nod when Alexander said, âIn the surveillance videos sent to you, if even one of them was from their first time betraying you, think about what that means.â
Roland froze, his body stiffening as he realized the implications. âBut⦠you donât know if the first time is in the videos.â
Alexander shrugged. âSo, everything is possible. Just think it through. A wedding is important. Donât waste it on someone unworthy. We donât trust her.â
With that, Alexander stopped talking and led Isabella away.
Isabella was still confused.
After stepping out, she couldnât help but ask, âWhat did you mean by that?â
Alexander explained, âIn those videos, Sasha showed only a little resistance. If she were a true victim, she would have had the chance to seek help the first time. However, she didnât. That leaves two possibilities: either the initial incident isnât among the videos, or she was willing from the start.â
Isabella understood. Alexander was planting a seed of doubt in Rolandâs mind.
âIs that enough?â Isabella asked.
Shaking his head, Alexander replied, âI donât know either. Weâll have to wait and see.â
After they rejoined Alexanderâs friends, they were surrounded by questions.
Meanwhile, Stephanie was about to leave as she didnât find any answers when she saw Roland in the lounge.
Thinking it over, she approached him. Roland seemed deep in thought with a frown marring his brows.
âMr. Rolandâ

Finished Roland looked up abruptly, eyes filled with confusion. Seeing her, he calmed down and frowned.
âHasnât he left yer?â
Stephanie pressed her lips together. âHeâs treating his wounds. Heâll leave soon. I have a few things to clarify.â
Roland thought for a moment and said, âYou want to know about his past?â
Stephanie nodded.
Without hesitation, Roland recounted Ethanâs high school history. When Stephanie heard the true reason for Ethanâs disfigurement, her face turned pale.
âIs everything you said true?â
Stephanieâs face was pale, and her eyes had turned red. Yet, she stubbornly held back tears.
Roland couldnât help but sympathize her.
âMs. Nox, if you donât believe me, you can investigate. He pursued you with a purpose. There are some things I canât say, but I advise you to be cautious in choosing a partner. The man youâre with is a wolf in sheepâs clothing.â
âRoland!â A voice suddenly called out.
Roland turned to see his father, Owen, approaching. This lounge was empty, but the corridors on both sides were open, so if someone raised their voice or listened closely, they could hear the conversation. Owen had heard it as he approached.
Roland gave his father a cold smile. If Ethan dared to do such things, how could I let him keep Stephanie as a backer?
Owen was anxious to speak, but Stephanie was already leaving in a hurry to question Ethan.
She nearly bumped into someone as she exited the lounge in a rush but didnât notice it.
Unable to chase after Stephanie, Owen could only look at Roland angrily. âRoland, what are you doing?â
âDad, did I say anything wrong? Or do you also want your illegitimate son to marry the eldest daughter of the Nox family, so he can rightfully take my place and gain the confidence to claim his heritage?â Roland wasnât oblivious to the scheming in wealthy families. He just chose not to address it.
âShut up! What are you talking about?â Owen knew this confrontation would come and had to face it Ethan is a mistake I made when I was young, but heâs still your brother.â
Roland laughed. He wanted to reveal how his âbrotherâ had betrayed him and done disgusting things. Owen probably couldnât handle such a scandal.
âDad, you donât need to explain to me. Save it for Mom âWhat? Your mom is in poor health. She canât take such shocks. We need to handle this carefully.â
Handling it carefully meant Ethan would be recognized sooner or later. It was just a matter of time.
Roland scoffed, âYou knew that, but when you did such disgraceful things, did you consider my momâs health?â

é¹½å³:94%æ Finished âJust because others are filthy doesnât mean you have to be filthy too. Just because others cat sh*t, do you have to eat it?â
Owen nearly fainted from Rolandâs sudden vulgarity, but it showed how furious Roland was.
âFine, fine. I wonât argue with you. The wedding is about to start. Watch your demeanor and donât cause any more trouble to disgrace the family,â Owen said, turning to leave.
Roland stood there, stiff. The weddingâ¦
Furious, Owen stormed off, oblivious to the trembling figure hidden just around the corner.
It was Daphne. She had heard everything and was holding Rolandâs phone, which still displayed the surveillance video, She had come to confront her son about Sasha and Ethan, only to hear that Ethan was her husbandâs illegitimate son. The shocking revelation almost made her faint on the spot.
As she remembered her sonâs suffering, her anger surged. As a mother, she had to be strong. She managed not to collapse.
She didnât believe Sasha was a victim. She had never liked Sashaâs whiny, smallâminded demeanor. Even if Sasha were a victim, she would never allow a woman who had been with an illegitimate son to marry her son. Especially not when the childâs paternity was uncertain.
She knew her son was too responsible and would endure even if it meant suffering. However, she wouldnât allow it.
Clutching the phone, Daphne turned and left. She was going to find Sasha.
Meanwhile, Stephanie was still searching for Ethan but couldnât find him in the unfamiliar estate.
Left with no choice, she had to continue searching.
Daphne also didnât manage to find Sasha as the makeup artists told her the bride had gone out for some fresh air and would return soon.
Impatient, Daphne headed to the security control room.
At that time, Isabella was halfâheartedly engaging in small talk while keeping an ear out for any new developments.
Unbelievable. Sasha sneaked off to see Ethan, telling him that Roland knew everything. She wants Ethan to take her away because she doesnât want to abort Ethanâs child. But after hearing that, Ethan tells her to agree to the wedding and stay with Roland. He says she can abort the child. Not only that, because heâs angry about being beaten, Ethan plans to cuckold Roland right here and now⦠Wait⦠What the f*ck? Theyâreâ¦.
Hearing this, the Quirks were shocked. Is she talking about that? Are they doing something this shameless right now?
Wow! This is our chance. Take Roland to catch them in the act! Everything will be revealed!
Before Isabella could react, Alexander stood up. â1 just remembered something I need to clarify with Roland. Letâs go find him.â
