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

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

All eyes turned to Lunara, every gaze laced with unfiltered contempt and scorn. Her face went ghostly pale. She clutched the hem of her gown tightly, fingers trembling. The room was full of sharp-minded elites—there was no need to spell it out. They understood exactly what had just happened. "Whitney, are you insane?" Jayden shouted, his voice cracking. "How could you marry my father? You love me! You always have!" I did not say a word. Instead, I simply raised my hand and slapped him across the other cheek. Everyone gasped, and the entire room fell into stunned silence. This time, Jayden was truly stunned. He stood there in a daze, his eyes wide with disbelief and simmering fury. "You, you dared to hit me?" I calmly withdrew my hand, my expression serene, my voice flat. "So what if I did? Jayden, it's time you faced reality. This isn't about revenge. I married Charles because I like him. In every single way, he's a better man than you." I paused deliberately, watch

My fingertips gently brushed across the embossed invitation in my hand. The gold lettering shimmered under the light, clearly spelling out: Mr. Charles Ford & Ms. Whitney Sheridan. The corners of my lips lifted into a faint, serene smile. Downstairs, Jayden and Lunara's wedding should be starting now. Or maybe not, given how embarrassingly few guests showed up. Meanwhile, upstairs, at my wedding, the atmosphere was entirely different. Inside the lavishly decorated grand ballroom, political elites and business moguls filled every seat. I strolled down the aisle, arm in arm with Charles. He stood tall and composed, his presence commanding. Unlike Jayden, his presence held the weight of time and the gravitas of a mighty man. He leaned close to whisper in my ear, "Don't be nervous." I looked up at him with a calm smile. "With you by my side, there's nothing to be nervous about." When he slid the ring onto my finger, my heart did not race the way I imagined it would. I
