Chapter 6

Author: Perfect Timing
I subtly avoided Clement's hand and let out a mocking laugh. "Clement, didn't you say you didn't know me?"

Guilt crossed his face, and sweat formed on his forehead as his hands gripped my shoulders. "Darling, I had a reason for saying that. Please, let me explain."

But before he could get a single word out, Otto slapped him across the face. "Ungrateful son! What did you just call her?

"She's your mother? Why don't I know?"

The more Otto thought about it, the angrier he became. He slapped Clement across the face again. "You've ruined my reputation!"

Watching Clement get slapped, Ruth flew into a rage. She lunged at Otto with her nails out, ready to claw his face off. "You want to hit someone? Hit me! Don't you dare touch my son!"

Seeing that she was serious, Clement stepped directly in front of her, gripping her wrist firmly. "Enough! Are you out of your mind?

"You're acting like a shrew!"

Ruth looked devastated. "Clement! How can you say that?

    I was stunned. "This is Archie's medical report? So he wasn't sick after all?"Otto let out a sigh. "Yeah. He played all of us.""So… are we calling the police?" I asked.He gave a cold laugh. "Call them."That night, after taking everyone's statements, the police cuffed Archie and took him away. He kept denying everything, but he had no idea that there was surveillance pointed right at the safe.As they dragged him away, he begged desperately, "Mr. Otto, I've been with you all these years! You can't do this to me!"Mr. Otto, I was wrong! Please, give me one more chance!"As I watched him get taken away, I couldn't help but think about how ridiculous it all was.Clement, knowing that he was in the wrong, spent the entire night groveling and wrote me five apology letters.As for Agnes, to prevent anything like this from happening again, Otto made their marriage certificate public.I didn't hold back either. I cut off all cooperation with the Saccone family. By now, Janette was

    Hearing this, Clement panicked. "Dad, Ronnie, please let me explain! Archie begged me to do this! I didn't know the real truth behind any of this!"It turned out that a month ago, Archie had been diagnosed with cancer. When he realized he might actually die, he went to Clement and begged him for help.As Archie had said, Ruth only cared about money, not about anyone. She knew Clement as Otto's son, the heir to the wealthiest family. To win her over, Archie had asked Clement to pretend to be his son."Mr. Garrett, I've lived this long and never even been in a relationship. Please help me fulfill this one wish."At first, Clement wouldn't agree. But Archie kept insisting, and when Clement saw the medical records, his heart softened completely. He went ahead and agreed without telling any of us."I thought I was doing a good deed. I never expected it to blow up like this."On the way to the hospital, he explained everything. By the time we arrived, Agnes was already awake. Fortunate

    Ruth's face darkened as she stepped in front of Otto, blocking his way. She glared at him with contempt. "Who do you think you are?"Did I say you could just walk into this auction house?"Otto's expression stayed cold. He already had a good idea of what had happened. "Did you do this to them? The bruises on their faces?"She sneered. "Who the hell do you think you are? You have no business questioning me!"She kept shouting, completely ignoring the uneasy glances exchanged by the crowd.Otto didn't bother responding. He scooped Agnes into his arms and headed for the hospital.But Ruth stepped in front of him again, furious. "I didn't say you could leave!"This bitch is a homewrecker, you know that? She ruined my marriage! No one takes her anywhere without my permission!"With that, she swung at Agnes again.That was the last straw for Otto. Just then, the ambulance arrived. He called over his bodyguards, and they quickly helped Agnes into the vehicle.Ruth watched in fury as

    A few seconds later, a familiar voice came through the phone.Clement let out a helpless laugh. "Mom, come on. I already sent Mr. Wagner ahead, didn't I?"Don't worry. I'm on my way. When I get there, I've got your back, and you can handle things however you want."Those few sentences crushed whatever hope I had left.Agnes' face drained of color. She asked, "Why would Clement call anyone else 'Mom'? I carried him for nine months and went through everything to have him. How could he do this?"Before I could react, she faltered and collapsed right in front of me."Agnes! Agnes! Please, wake up!"Call an ambulance! Please, I'm begging you. Someone help us!"Right then, a wave of regret washed over me. I never should have brought her here. The scene turned chaotic, and the crowd grew nervous, afraid that something terrible was about to happen.After a lot of pleading on my part, someone finally agreed to call an ambulance.But when Ruth saw this, she looked annoyed. She aimed he

    Silas Lambert, the manager of the auction house, cautiously pushed his way through the crowd. The moment he saw me, his expression shifted abruptly.Then his gaze fell on Ruth, and his face immediately twisted into a sickly sweet smile. "Mrs. Garrett, what an honor to have you here! Why didn't you let me know ahead of time?"He snapped his fingers and continued, "I'll have a private room ready for you with tea right away."Ruth soaked it all in, clearly enjoying herself. She waved him off with a careless flick of her wrist. "No need to make a big deal. I'm not here for the auction today."I'm here to catch the tramp!"The atmosphere immediately tensed, and guests began speaking up for Ruth."Mistresses today have no shame at all. She shows up in front of the real wife and doesn't even feel guilty!""Mr. Lambert, how could you let trash like this into your auction house?"Feeling the pressure, he shot a quick, uneasy glance at me.I took my chance and said, "Mr. Lambert, it's m
