The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge novel Chapter 694

Hawthorne’s gaze dropped to Patti Yale’s stomach. Instinctively, she shrank back.

He caught every flicker of emotion on her face.

“You’re pregnant. How far along are you?”

Patti’s eyes widened in panic. How did Hawthorne know? She’d only just found out herself. She’d told James, which was the whole reason he’d come up with this plan in the first place.

“Hawthorne, I didn’t mean to deceive you. I really had no choice.”

Patti was carrying James’s child. She’d originally planned to use the baby to climb higher, to secure her own place. But James—well, he’d built his career off his wife’s family connections, and even now, his father-in-law still wielded influence in Greenvale.

James’s wife was no pushover, either. For all his affairs over the years, James had never let another woman get pregnant. He knew better than to risk it.

Patti had seen that James could help her father, and after sleeping with him, she thought she could trade her looks and the baby for status. But James had only wanted a fling.

He was never a good man to begin with, and he knew exactly how close Patti was to Hawthorne. He’d listened to her brag about how much Hawthorne cared for her.

James had made a name for himself in business, but he still couldn’t outmaneuver Hawthorne.

The Everhart family’s legacy spanned centuries—no ordinary businessman could ever shake their foundation.

So James sent Patti to test Hawthorne, but Hawthorne saw right through them and decided to play along.

The irony was, these two thought their little scheme was working. James actually wanted Hawthorne to be his scapegoat—to raise his child for him.

And on top of that, he had his eyes on the Everhart fortune. With moves like these, Hawthorne couldn’t help but admire this pair of fools—they were a real piece of work.

Did they really believe a man who ruled the business world with such ruthless precision could be so easily played?

“You got pregnant by James and now you want to dump the consequences on me?”

Patti’s fatal mistake was thinking she could manipulate anyone—she should have known better than to try it on him.
