After Divorce He Panicked

Emily Adler, the secret heiress to one of New England’s oldest and most prestigious families, was deeply in love with Julian Sterling—scion of a powerful New York real estate dynasty—and willingly lived for five years as a dutiful, unassuming housewife. However, a sudden kidnapping shattered the tender facade of their marriage. Emily was abducted alongside Vivian, a childhood friend of Julian’s; to save her own life, Vivian ingratiated herself with the kidnappers and conceived a child by one of them. Desperate to shield Vivian from scandal, Julian committed an act of utter depravity: he publicly claimed that it was Emily who had been violated, even going so far as to accuse his own wife of carrying the kidnapper's illegitimate child instead of his own.After enduring a series of deeply humiliating ordeals—including being forcibly drained of blood to save Vivian from a hemorrhage and being pushed down the stairs by her—Emily became completely disillusioned. She decisively terminated her pregnancy at the hospital and preserved the fetus as a red specimen. She made a dramatic appearance at Vivian’s birthday party, publicly presenting a black gift box containing the marriage dissolution agreement, the abortion consent form, and the male fetus specimen. She also played recovered surveillance footage, exposing the shocking conspiracy in which Vivian colluded with her lover to stage a fake kidnapping and attempted to seize the Sterling family fortune using an illegitimate child.
