A Foolish Husband's Mistake Chapter 10
The hunger for revenge devoured Logan's sanity. His eyes locked onto a vase on the table. Before he could think, he'd already swung it with full force into Joann's skull."You murdered my daughter!" he screamed. "You don't deserve to breathe!"Blood burst from the wound as Joann collapsed to the floor, coughing up a mouthful of blood. She pleaded weakly, "Cough… Logan, I was wrong. Please… please let me go. Lily's gone... but we still have Gracie... I can give you a son... please..."Logan's gaze fell on the large pool of blood spreading beneath her, and his expression twisted into madness."Bella and I were so deeply in love. You tore us apart. You killed our baby. YOU SHOULD BE DEAD!"Each word became another savage kick to her ribs. "You think you're fit to mother my children? You're TRASH!"Only when her chest stopped rising did he stagger back—then burst into hysterical laughter."Now you've paid! Bella will forgive me now!" He clutched his head, laughing manically. "I'll g

"And you dare speak Lily's name to me?" I spat, my voice dripping with venom. "You, Joann, and Gracie—you all owe Lily your lives! The only way you could ever atone for her death is by joining her in the grave!"Logan's hands shook violently as he scrambled to collect the fallen photographs.He saw my poor Lily in the hospital bed, eyes wide open even in death from the agony she had endured. He saw her drained of all color, her small body mottled with bruises. He saw her reduced to a handful of ashes, which I buried in my hometown.Nick's voice cut through the tension like arctic wind, "Effective immediately, the Shenton Group severs all ties with Rice Group ventures. What kind of businessman partners with a child-killer who wallows in moral sewage?"With those words, I watched the last flicker of hope die in Logan's eyes. He'd come crawling to Nick because his failing company desperately needed Shenton Group's capital to stay afloat. Now not only was that lifeline gone, but any fi

Caleb's voice was regretful. "I'm sorry, Mom. I couldn't protect you… I let them hurt you."To keep my son from carrying this as a shadow on his heart, I had my men bring in Logan, Joann, and the restaurant manager to apologize face-to-face.They were forced to their knees the moment they entered. Joann crawled forward on her hands and knees, clutching at Nick's trouser leg, sobbing."Mr. Shenton, I'm sorry! Please, spare me. I truly didn't know Bella was your wife, or that Lily was your kid."Caleb frowned. "So it's fine to bully someone just because you don't know who they are? You're not sorry at all!"When I looked up at Nick, I saw the same surprised expression mirrored back at me. We exchanged a small, knowing smile.At least this hadn't twisted my son's values—he still spoke up against those who wronged him, still stood his ground.Nick's lips curved faintly. "He's just like you."I shook my head with a smile. "More like you."The manager, already shaken from yesterda

After searching the kitchen for a while, Nick spotted a small side door. His heartbeat quickened.Pushing it open, he was met with the sight of a massive freezer in the center of the room. Inside, Caleb and I were crammed among piles of vegetables, both of us long unconscious.Logan arrived moments later, his face draining of color at the scene."M-Mr. Shenton, what's going on here?"Nick swung open the freezer door, his movements gentle as he lifted my son and me out. He brushed away the wilted vegetable leaves clinging to our bodies.Seeing Nick's tenderness, Logan trembled. How could what Bella said possibly be true? A woman he had always considered beneath him—used goods—how could she truly be the wife of Mr. Shenton?"Mr. Shenton, perhaps you're mistaken. That's my wife and daughter.""Your daughter? Who do you think you are?" Nick's gaze hardened, and with a subtle signal, his men descended on Logan, beating him until his screams filled the air.Ignoring him, Nick took m

Thinking back on the scene, the driver added, "And I also saw Madam greeting Mr. Rice and Mrs. Rice outside! How could she not be here?"Nick's face turned cold in an instant. How dare Logan deceive him! What exactly had he done to Bella?He stopped a passing waiter, his gaze falling on the watch around the man's wrist. His voice froze over. "Where did you get that watch?"The young waiter, unaccustomed to such an imposing presence, panicked and bowed repeatedly."I'm sorry, Mr. Shenton! I didn't know it was yours. I found it by the riverside on my way to work."Fumbling, he removed the watch.Nick tucked it into his jacket, fury burning beneath the surface."You mean to tell me my wife's watch just happened to be lying by the river? Where is she? Where is she now?"That watch had been a custom commission from a master craftsman when he'd confessed his love to Bella. It was one of a kind in the world, impossible to mistake. And Bella would never simply misplace it.The waiter

The host approached Nick with an obsequious smile. "Mr. Shenton, right this way, please."Recalling the voice he'd heard earlier, Nick's expression darkened with faint impatience. He glanced around. "Where's my wife? She came here two hours ago with my son.""Was it to private room 888? I didn't see your wife enter just now."Before he could press further, Logan came running over, sweat beading on his forehead. "Mr. Shenton, it's an honor to finally meet you. About that project proposal I sent over earlier, do you think we might work together? The Rice Group is the largest enterprise in Aster City. We could form a powerful alliance."Nick lifted his gaze ever so slightly, and Logan's expression instantly froze.The child standing beside Bella bore an uncanny resemblance to Mr. Shenton. Could it be that Bella had betrayed him all those years ago, and Lily was actually Nick's son?"Mr. Shenton," Logan said abruptly, "I heard you were bringing your wife and child today. We've prepar
