MasukOn New Year’s Eve, an old friend called to congratulate me on the birth of my son. “Emrys, you’ve been keeping this a secret pretty well! If I hadn’t seen you and your wife taking care of the baby together, I wouldn’t have known you had a child!” I froze in my tracks. How could I not know I had a child? And that I was taking care of him with her? I immediately called my wife, who was still working late, to confront her about it. She just laughed and said our friend must have been mistaken, which was why this whole mix-up happened. But the very next second, our friend sent a photo. In the photo, she was facing sideways, holding a child in her arms, with a man standing beside her. Only his back was visible, but the silhouette was exactly like mine. Her smile was gentle and radiant. At first glance, she looked utterly blissful. I stared at the meticulously prepared New Year’s Eve dinner spread before me and suddenly flung it to the floor. I immediately dialed my brother. He was a lawyer. “Celene Zeller cheated on me. She even had a child. “I want a divorce. I want to kick her out of my company and make her leave with nothing.”

It seems she’d been planning to use your father to manipulate you all along.”My mother’s words made me realize just how many mistakes I had made by trusting Celene so blindly.“Yes, I never expected that my negligence would cause Dad to miss out on treatment for so long.”I felt terribly guilty, but my mother was not angry at me. Instead, she said cheerfully, “It’s alright. Your dad’s doing well now. He’s a
Alden struggled to stand up straight.He glared at Celene standing before him. “What kind of person are you? You were married, yet you still seduced me!“If I hadn’t set my sights on your money, hoping for a better life, why would I even look at you?“I must say, thanks to you, I was able to raise my kids well. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have known how to support these children!”His shameless attitude made Celene’s face grow even paler.She could not believe that the man she had treated with such sincerity had been deceiving her all along.“I’m going to kill you!”She lunged forward and grabbed Alden by the throat.Alden was, after all, a man. How could he possibly lose to a woman?Within minutes, he had her pinned down. “You’re nothing but trash! You’re the last person to talk about love and loyalty with me!“Back then, when we were broke, didn’t you say you’d dump me?“Why should I be loyal to you when you’re not?“Someone like you doesn’t deserve to be loved!”With every wo
At my words, Celene’s expression immediately darkened.She did not even seem to feel the smarting of her cheek as she stared at me in disbelief. “What do you mean by that?”“It means you’re the one who can’t have children, not me.“As for this report, I forged it on purpose because I was worried you’d be heartbroken if you found out you couldn’t have children.“I never imagined you’d be foolish enough to cheat on me without verifying a single thing.”I watched her with a cold smile.With every word I spoke, her expression grew grimmer.Finally, she could no longer keep her composure. “What are you saying? How could that be possible?”“Why not? With my connections, forging a document for you isn’t impossible.“Besides, you don’t even know what this kind of report looks like, do you?”I let out a bitter, mocking laugh.I never imagined that the root of all this would stem from my own consideration for her.I was worried she would be heartbroken if she could not have children
Celene stared at me in disbelief and shook her head vigorously. “No… that’s not true! How could you possibly be the owner of this company?“You’re nothing but an uneducated househusband who spends all day asking me what I want to eat, what I want to drink, and when I’m coming home. How could you possibly own a company this big?”She still refused to accept reality, but the facts were right in front of her.The hospital’s surveillance footage did not lie, and the assistant’s reaction was certainly not an act.Her position as CEO was, in fact, truly because of me.Yet she had committed so many mistakes behind my back.“I always owned all of this. You were just too foolish to see it.”I never deliberately hid my identity. It was just that her mind was so completely occupied by Alden and herself that she never paid attention to me.Naturally, she never noticed that I often held online meetings in the study and frequently went out to negotiate business deals.“We’re getting a divor
