Chapter 464
After ending the call, Clark called Jordyn. âWhere are you now?â
Upon hearing the suppressed anger in Clarkâs voice, Jordynâs anxiety spiked. She bit her lip and instinctively lied, âIâm out shopping⦠Whatâs wrong?â
âGet home right now. I need to talk to you!â Clark snapped.
âOkayâ¦â Jordyn replied.
Quickly, she contacted the investigator she had hired to look into Clark, her voice filled with tension. What did you find out?â
âI was just about to call you. Other than going to the hospital for a checkâup, Clark hasnât done anything unusual,â the investigator reported.
âWhat?!â Jordynâs face went pale. Given Clarkâs recent strange behavior, she immediately concluded that he must be onto her.
âI understand,â she said before hanging up.
Jordyn rushed to her bedroom, hastily gathering her jewelry, cards, and some clothes. She stuffed them into a suitcase and hurried out of the house.
On the way to Jordynâs place, Clark received a call from Michael.
âMr. Sumner, the report from your and Ms. Jaystonâs previous tests was indeed tampered with. The doctor said Jordyn paid him a large sum to change the diagnosis, swapping your test results with hers. The actual infertile person is you⦠Michael reported.
By the end, his voice had dropped, clearly fearing Clarkâs reaction.
To his surprise, Clarkâs demeanor remained calm as he instructed, âGot it. Find out where Jordyn is now. If sheâs out, bring her back to her place.â
âUnderstood,â Michael replied.
As he ended the call, he was still puzzled. Usually, news like this would evoke shock and anger, but Clark seemed to have anticipated it.
Michael recalled Clarkâs recent request for a checkâup and began to piece things together..
Clark arrived at Jordynâs home to find the bedroom in disarray, as if it had been ransacked. He sneered and sat on the couch in the living room, waiting for Michael to bring her back.
Jordyn had just reached the bus station when she was intercepted.
Michaelâs expression was icy. âMs. Cheatham, please come with us.â
Panicked, Jordyn tried to run, but with her pregnancy, she barely made it a few steps before being caught.

âLet me go! I donât want to go back! Let go of me!â she cried.
Michaelâs men ignored her pleas, forcibly pushed her into the car, and drove away.
Jordyn, flanked by two large men who restrained her, had no chance to escape.
Frightened, she glared at Michael in the front seat. âMichael, are you Clarkâs lapdog? You do whatever he says! I wonât let you get away with this!â
She had almost made it outâit was all Michaelâs fault!
Jordynâs gaze was cold and venomous, but Michael remained unfazed. âMs. Cheatham, you can keep cursing me, but it would be better to think about how youâll ask Mr. Sumner for mercy. After all, thereâs the child in your womb⦠and the test reports from Mr. Sumner and Ms. Jaystonâ¦â
Michael briefly glanced at her visibly pregnant belly, his eyes filled with mockery. Jordyn was truly audacious for daring to deceive Clark.
Jordynâs face turned ashen upon hearing that.
Her earlier escape attempt had made her suspect that Clark already knew the truth. She just hadnât expected him to have uncovered even the bribery of the hospital to swap the checkâup reports.
