Amanda told me that she was pregnant.
At forty-five, I own a company worth hundreds of millions of dollars,but I have never had children.
Upon hearing this news,I didn't feel the slightest bit of joy.

Can a person who is infertile really have a child?
I knew in my heart that Amanda had been unfaithful!
The child in her belly couldn't possibly be mine.
Amanda is twenty-three years old this year.
She graduated from a renowned university.With a tall figure,delicate features,and a tear mole at the corner of her eyebrow,she is truly a great beauty.
I met her at a banquet.

With my ample financial resources at my disposal, it only took me three months to win her over.
And then I walked down the aisle with Amanda.
In the past,I always thought that Amanda was a very traditional person.
She gave herself to me completely only after we got married.

But now it seems that I was naive.
Who was the one who betrayed me by having an affair?
After getting married,Amanda became a full-time housewife.
Except for being with me,she rarely went out.
Did she want to play me for a fool?
Well,then I'll play along with you.
I tapped the table lightly with my fingers and a cold smile appeared on my lips.
I started my business from a coal mine in the 1990s.
If one were to look into my past, they would find it far from spotless.
After leaving the company,I went to a specialty store and spent over a hundred thousand dollars on a limited-edition Hermès backpack.
Then, with a wide grin on my face, I headed home.
When Amanda saw me,she sweetly called me"husband".
Then she nestled into my arms like a little bird.
I pretended to be very happy and showed no signs of suspicion.
But inside,I felt cold.
Amanda was truly a masterful actress.
If I didn't know about my infertility.
I probably wouldn't have noticed anything amiss!
“Amanda,” I said casually while hugging her after dinner, “you're now a great contributor to our family. I want to transfer 5% of the company's shares to you.”
To my surprise,Amanda actually refused!
"I'm your wife.You're already mine.What do I need the company shares for?"
Amanda's reaction made me pause for a moment.
In that instant,I even suspected that my infertility diagnosis back then might have been a mistake.
Could the child in Amanda's belly be mine?
I didn't sleep well that night.
My mind was filled with thoughts.
The next morning,I went to the city hospital very early.
After a series of examinations.
The doctor finally gave me the diagnosis.
Congenital infertility, which could not be cured with the current medical technology.
At that moment,I was truly enraged!
This made me even angrier than finding out that Amanda had been unfaithful.
I had actually been deceived by that bitch Amanda again.
Knowing that I had infertility.
I had actually had a glimmer of hope in my heart for a moment.
"Amanda,I really want to see just how greedy you are!"
In the days that followed, I began investigating Amanda, noting the time she got up each day, how often she went out, and where she went.
The private detective conducted a thorough investigation into all the relevant information.
But half a month went by,and Amanda appeared to be leading a blameless life.
Until one day.
While Amanda was out,I secretly went home from the company.
After searching through everything,I discovered a hidden compartment behind Amanda's dressing table!
There was a black cellphone in the hidden compartment.
I had no idea that Amanda had this phone!
When I tried to turn on the phone,it prompted me to enter a password.
I tried entering Amanda's birthday and some numbers that held special meaning for her.
But I couldn't unlock it.
I calculated the time and knew Amanda would be back soon.
I didn't want to alert her,so I turned off the black cellphone and put it back.
I then tidied up the messed-up places and left home.
I knew Amanda had another cellphone.
I felt a bit excited inside,feeling that I was getting closer to the truth.
Next,I bought some hidden cameras and installed them to monitor every corner of the villa.
But the following process didn't go as smoothly as I had imagined.
Another dozen or so days went by.
Amanda had a regular daily routine and didn't touch that black cellphone either.
This bitch was really cautious.
I sat in the office,looking at the surveillance on the computer.
I had rarely been home these days.
When Amanda called,I mostly used being busy as an excuse.
I just wanted Amanda to slip up.
"Mr.Smith,Amanda met a man when she went out today!"
"I've sent the photos to your WeChat."
Just then, I received new information from them.
This got my attention.
I opened WeChat,and a dozen or so high-definition photos appeared in front of me.
In the photos,Amanda was wearing a white dress.Even with minimal makeup,she was still very charming.
The man she met was around thirty years old,over 1.8 meters tall.
He had a crew cut and looked sunny and handsome.
He was holding a bouquet of lilies in his hand.
After Amanda took the flowers,a bright smile appeared on her pretty face.
"It's actually him?!"
I stared at the man in the photo,and my heart skipped a beat.
I didn't even care about the anger of being cuckolded anymore!
Kevin.
He was the director of People's Hospital.
I had sought medical treatment from him almost every time in recent years.
And the last time I went to get checked for infertility,Kevin was the one who received me!
"Cuckolding me and making a mockery of me?!"
I slammed my hand down on the table in anger.
But I also knew that my investigation was probably coming to an end.
"Mr.Smith,Amanda and that man went into a room.Do you want to come over?"
The person from the detective agency asked politely.
"No, just wait outside,"I said, sounding indifferent.
I hung up the phone from the detective agency.After waiting for a minute or two.
I dialed Amanda's cellphone.
The phone rang seven or eight times before it was answered.
"Husband."
"Amanda,where are you?"
From Amanda's sweet voice,I detected a hint of panic.
