MasukI had my only son, Jensen Selway, late in life. So, I treasured him from the moment he was born. Jensen was sickly and could not afford to overexert himself. To protect him, I found eight potential brides for him and raised them as my own. I sent all eight to elite schools, paid for their education overseas, and once they came of age, brought them into Selway Group for training and development. But when they grew up, all eight women fell in love with the housekeeper’s son, Joshua Crowe, and gradually began neglecting Jensen. Even Quinn Jolliffe, the one I had pinned the most hopes on, secretly slept with Joshua and became pregnant with his child. To force me to accept Joshua, they went to the hospital together and had themselves sterilized. Quinn slapped eight sterilization certificates down in front of me. “Dad, they have had sterilization surgery. And I have also made an appointment. If you refuse to accept Joshua and the baby I’m carrying, you’ll never have grandchildren to inherit the family fortune.” I was completely dumbfounded. “My fortune naturally goes to my biological son. What do these eight outsiders have to do with it?” I thought. I did not want Jensen to be hurt, so I quickly arranged a marriage for him. Three months later, Jensen blushed as he took his wife’s hand. “Dad, I really like the woman you arranged for me. She’s already carrying my child.”

Quinn covered her cheek and stared at him in stunned disbelief.Jensen’s eyes reddened as he glared at her.“Quinn, have you always thought me that pathetic? Do you really believe I’d forgive you for abandoning me, for stealing from me, and even for having a child with Joshua?”Quinn parted her lips. “Jensen, I just used to think—”“Shut up!”Jensen wiped away his tears, his voice growing colder with every word.“You even asked me to be your side piece right in front of my dad. What right do you have to stand in front of me now?”Quinn shuffled closer on the ground, her eyes still red with tears.“Jensen, I really messed up. I used to think you’d never leave me, that no matter what I did, you’d always be there waiting for me.”Jensen avoided her outstretched hand a
I did not open the gate.Quinn waited outside for more than half an hour with Ella in her arms. The infant cried nonstop, and Quinn’s voice grew hoarser by the minute.“Dad, I’m your daughter, and she’s your granddaughter. You have enough money to support so many people. What’s one more child for you to support?”I told Anton to open the gate.Quinn’s eyes lit up when she saw me come out, and she immediately wheeled herself toward the house, but I blocked the entrance.“Quinn, who told you I ever adopted you?”Her hands froze on the wheelchair, and her brows furrowed.“Dad, what do you mean?”I held out the orphanage records from all those years ago.“The eight of you were placed in long-term foster care and received sponsorship. You were never legally adopted. You remained legally registered with the welfare institution the entire time, so legally speaking, I was never your father.”The color drained from Quinn’s face. She snatched the documents from me and flipped through t
Selway Group quickly issued risk notices to its business partners, and all personnel violations, improper transfers of benefits, and confidentiality issues involving the eight women during their time at the company were also placed under investigation.Quinn went to several companies in the same industry looking for work, but after reviewing her employment history, not a single one was willing to hire her.As for Mandy, she found a job at a logistics company, but after only two days, Selway Group’s legal department warned them that she was bound by a non-compete agreement, leaving them no choice but to fire her.The eight women completely lost the lives they once knew.Mandy took what little money she had left to a hospital to ask about reversing her sterilization. The doctor said they could attempt the procedure, but no one could guarantee she would regain her ability to have children.She returned to their rented apartment with the medical report and slammed it down in front of
Quinn stared at Jensen, a pleading look flickering in her eyes.“Jensen, you said you’d never marry anyone but me. How could you have another woman carry your child?”Jensen yanked his hand free from hers and asked coldly, “Didn’t you say I was the only one you’d ever love? Yet you’re having another man’s child!”A flicker of emotion crossed Quinn’s eyes, and she instinctively reached for Jensen. But Serena stepped out from behind Jensen, grabbed Quinn by the wrist, and roughly shoved her away.Quinn staggered a few steps before regaining her balance, her eyes fixed on Serena’s lower belly.“Is that really your child?”Jensen tightened his hold on Serena’s arm but said nothing.Quinn’s expression slowly darkened as she stared at their intertwined hands. She clenched her teeth and sneered.“Fine. You’d even have a child with another woman just to spite me. Call off the wedding today and have Serena get rid of the baby, and I’ll overlook the fact that you slept with her.”Jensen
