Chapter 179

Author: Ginger Sue
Bradley whined, "Why am I the only one being punished? Why isn't Terence being held accountable too?"

Everyone froze. All eyes landed on Terence.

Terence trembled, his face flushed with embarrassment. "I didn't hit anyone! It was all your doing! Stop blaming me!"

"No! You forced me to hit Alistair!" Bradley retorted. "How cruel! You ran and hid, remember? You're the worst!"

Terence's calves shook inside his pants. "I didn't! You're lying!" he roared.

The two boys spiraled into a frenzy, lashing out at each other.

Winter's eyes stayed on Terence. As his mother, she could see the faint color rising on his face whenever he lied. Her blood ran cold, freezing her from head to toe.

"Terence, are you the culprit? Did you hit Alistair too?" Joshua stared at him in disbelief, every word dripping with anger.

Terence's eyes welled with tears. "I didn't, Dad! Please, you have to trust me!"

"Josh, I can vouch for Terry. He's always been sensible and well-behaved. He would never do somethin

    In the blink of an eye, Monday arrived. Winter drove straight to the courthouse.Since that day, she hadn't reached out to Joshua even once. Not a single message had passed between them.She had already made everything crystal clear in front of the Stroud family.Today, Joshua was expected to show up—unless he intended to act like a coward.Half an hour later, a black Ferrari arrived in front of the courthouse. Only ten minutes remained until the scheduled time.After that, Winter would finally reclaim her freedom, cutting herself completely off from Joshua and Terence. If nothing went wrong, their paths would never intersect again.Soon, the agreed-upon time came and went, yet Joshua was still nowhere in sight.Could that bastard really be trying to humiliate himself?Winter's chest tightened as she watched the seconds crawl by on her phone.If Joshua was going to behave like a coward, he'd be the supreme example of one.Winter couldn't afford to waste any more of her precio

    Joshua's lips curved into a smirk, an icy glint flashing in his gaze. "Winter can go on dreaming if she thinks she can leave me and run off with another man!"Jessica's eyes widened in shock. It felt as though a bolt of lightning had just struck her."Not only will I refuse to divorce her," Joshua continued, "I'll make our marriage public and let the whole world know she is mine."His eyes narrowed, a cold, mocking smile tugging at his lips. "When that happens, I'd like to see whether Ezekiel still dares to pursue Winter—unless he wants to be labeled the other man and condemn his son to a lifetime of shame among his peers."Hearing this, Sean's eyes gleamed. He couldn't resist stealing a quick glance at Jessica.Just as expected, Jessica's expression darkened. She looked utterly miserable."Tonight, have someone keep an eye on Ezekiel's house. The moment Winter appears, report to me immediately!" Joshua commanded.…As night descended, a Maybach rolled to a stop in front of the

    Joshua's jaw clenched, his handsome features darkening. A storm of fury flickered in his eyes."Are you seriously telling me Winter spent the night with Mr. Fulton from LightTrace?"Jessica frowned, visibly upset on Joshua's behalf. "S-She's completely ignoring Josh's feelings. Not only did she provoke him repeatedly, but she also made Terry sick by neglecting him for days."She even had the nerve to attend another child's birthday and act like she's their mother. Josh has put up with all of this for the sake of the five years they spent together as husband and wife."Joshua pressed his lips together, his hand slowly curling into a fist on the table.Meanwhile, Jessica's words seemed to fill every corner of the room. "This time, Winter completely disregarded her marriage and stayed at Ezekiel's place! She's betrayed Josh both emotionally and physically!"Any man with even a shred of self-respect wouldn't tolerate her fickleness. It's outrageous!"Jessica's goal was to fan the fl

    "I heard from Sean that you completely dismissed the previous version of the chip model during the last meeting. Is that true?" Joshua asked, his brow furrowed. "Was the previous version really that bad?""Both its performance and algorithms are outdated. Back when I was studying in Maeveria, that type of data model was popular. But now, it's been surpassed by more advanced alternatives on the market."Jessica shook her head solemnly, her eyes showing a mix of confidence and pride."For Stroud Group's new energy vehicles, we must deliver unparalleled performance and the most advanced technology in the domestic market. Otherwise, how can we justify the hundreds of millions you've invested in our R&D department every year?""Jessica, I can't thank you enough," Joshua said, slamming his fist on the table in frustration. "With her huge salary, Connie still managed to give me this shit! The R&D department was almost wrecked under her watch!"Jessica's eyes darkened, her lips curving ev

    After preparing a hearty breakfast, Winter left the villa. She didn't stay to join Ezekiel and Alistair at the table.Even though Ezekiel was a coveted bachelor that many women were eager to win over, she still kept her distance from him."Winter's cooking smells amazing! It tastes just like Mom's food!" Alistair could hardly resist; the aroma made his mouth water.With his sturdy fingers, Ezekiel lifted a spoonful of soup and gently brought it to Alistair's lips. "You've never even met your mother. How can you say this tastes like her cooking?"Alistair beamed. "Even though I've never met her, I can almost imagine this is what Mom's cooking would taste like. Am I close?"Ezekiel lowered his gaze. "Eat up.""I wish I could enjoy Winter's cooking every single day!""You've certainly got a lot on your mind for someone so young. She's not your real mom. Why would she take the time to care for you?"Arching his brow, Ezekiel added some soup to Alistair's bowl. "Haven't I said it be

    "It's fine," Winter replied, lowering her gaze. Nothing she could say would change anything.She grabbed her phone and answered, "Hello, Sasha—""Oh, my God! Babe, you've really outdone yourself!" Sasha shouted, practically bouncing with excitement. "Look at you, Winz! I can't believe you're hiring male models like it's no big deal!"Winter frowned and pressed a hand over her own mouth. "Sasha!""Oops, my bad! Winz, let's just pretend you're starting a modeling agency, okay?"Ezekiel walked away at a leisurely pace.Winter sank onto the couch, panic creeping into her voice. "Sasha, please don't misunderstand. There's nothing going on between him and me.""So who is he?" Sasha drawled, her eyes sparkling with curiosity."It's a long story. He's a single father. Anyway, it's not really convenient to explain right now. I'll tell you everything later." Winter glanced around and lowered her voice. "Why did you call me so early? What's going on?""Last night, I happened to overhear
