On the eve of my engagement banquet, news broke that my fiancé had fathered a child with his mistress, and it spread like wildfire. Before I could confront him, Jayden Ford brushed it off casually. "It was just an accident. Focus on organizing the engagement banquet first. Besides, your dad’s in the late stages of stomach cancer. Calling off the engagement now won’t do either family any good." That night, he skipped the banquet but posted a photo of a swaddled newborn on social media. When I video-called him, he was bottle-feeding the baby. "I’ve been busy taking care of the kid. You know how it is. Our family lineage has always been sparse and dwindling, and the child takes priority." He wiped milk from the baby’s mouth. "But don’t worry. Once he’s a month old, I’ll send him to the overseas. Just show up on holidays and pretend to be his mom. The title of Mrs. Ford will always be yours." I stared at the matching diamond ring on his finger and couldn’t help but laugh. "Jayden, this engagement is off." He scoffed, "You're really throwing a tantrum over something like this? Don’t be so childish." I hung up on him and called his father—Charles Ford—directly. "I heard you’re looking for a new wife? Why not consider me?" I ran a hand over my belly and smiled. "After all, I’ve got a naturally fertile body. I can give you as many sons as you want." So much for being the sole heir. I’ll make sure he has plenty of brothers to keep him company.

For Better, Not Yours Chapter 10
Charles stared at Jayden, his eyes burning with fury as if they could shoot fire. "Jayden Ford! You've completely lost control! Beating a woman? Are you even human anymore?" "Dad! I didn't! It was her! She betrayed me!" Jayden stammered in his defense, pointing at Lunara, who lay on the floor. His face was twisted in anger, but beneath that, there was a deeper emotion—shame and humiliation from being betrayed. "You're still making excuses?" Charles raised his hand and delivered a loud, vicious slap to Jayden's face. The force behind it was immense, causing Jayden to stagger backward from the blow. Leaning weakly in Charles's arms, I watched the scene unfold with a glee that was hard to suppress, like sipping ice-cold juice on the hottest summer day. "Get out! Get the hell out of the Ford family! As of today, you are no longer my son!" Charles could tolerate countless disappointments, but harming his children? That was the one thing he would never forgive. These two

"It's not true! Jayden, please listen to me! The baby is yours!" A sharp, resounding slap echoed through the room. "You bitch! What do you have to say to this? The DNA results are in. How much longer are you planning to lie to me?!" Lunara's cries and pleas kept coming, interspersed with the thuds of heavy objects crashing to the floor. Downstairs, I sipped on my tea slowly and contentedly, listening to the chaos upstairs. I could not have felt more at ease. When Lunara's screams turned increasingly shrill and desperate, I figured it was about time to intervene. Putting on a worried expression, I gently held my waist, carefully making my way up the stairs, one slow step at a time. I stood outside their bedroom door, raised my voice, and called out with concern. "Oh, Jayden, come on now. What couple doesn't argue now and then? Lunara did give birth to your child, didn't she? How could you raise your hand against her like this?" Inside, Lunara's cries became even more m
For Better, Not Yours Chapter 8
Much to my surprise, Lunara ended up giving me the best assist I could ask for. To give birth before Jayden and I got engaged, Lunara secretly took labor-inducing drugs. As a result, the baby was born prematurely and left with chronic health issues. With the season changing, even the slightest breeze would send the child to the hospital. Jayden was practically living at the hospital, his eyes full of anxiety and exhaustion. Naturally, he had no energy left to deal with company affairs. Charles was already dissatisfied with his recent performance. Now, with Jayden constantly disappearing every few days, things finally boiled over when a subordinate reported a major failure in one of Jayden's projects. Charles lost it. "Jayden! Are you trying to hand this company over to someone else? If you can't even handle something this small, what else are you good for? You're useless!" During a high-level executive meeting, Charles slammed his hand on the table and laid it on Jayd

"Well, my dear, was that a surprise to your satisfaction?" Charles gripped my hand tightly, his voice trembling with emotion. "Whitney, you've given me the greatest gift I could ever imagine! You have no idea, all these years, I've been tormented by the fact that I might never have children of my own. "But now, not only are you giving me two children, but you're also doing it at the moment I needed it most. I've made up my mind. From today on, 6% of Ford Corporation's shares will be yours." Gasps rippled through the crowd. 6% of Ford Corporation—that was an astronomical figure, enough to make any elite family go green with envy. Jayden's face turned even darker. After all these years of being groomed as the heir, Charles never granted him any real shares, not a single percent. Suddenly, Jayden snapped, his voice taut with suppressed fury. "Dad, are you serious? How do you even know those kids are yours?" I laughed coldly in my heart. He could not hold it in any long
