At last, after crying her heart out, Emma's emotions gradually settled, and she finally found the composure to recount the entire truth to Sigourney, everything she had concealed over the years.

"First of all, Lucas is indeed the son of me and Ray Baines; he's Lucas's father now."

Emma spoke slowly, her eyes unable to hide the sorrow in her face as she recalled the past.

"Back then, as you already know, your father Mark and I had a betrothal. We were supposed to marry one day, sealing a business marriage that would benefit both our families."

"However, I wanted to hold my own fate in my hands, not have it arranged for me. I opposed it again and again, wanting to break the engagement, but neither my family nor Mark's would agree."

On this matter, Sigourney had known since childhood. Mark loved Emma deeply, yet Emma never returned his feelings; in fact, she reacted with disgust and aversion whenever he came near.

So this was the root of it all.

  • Reborn for Revenge: My Husband Is Mine   Whenever you need me, I’ll always be there in time

    Theodore set Sigourney down, then checked her from head to toe to see if she had any injuries. Once he confirmed she was still safe, only shaken, and coughing hoarsely from inhaling too much smoke, he finally allowed himself to breathe a sigh of relief.No injuries, that was good enough.By this time, the firefighters had arrived. The crew poured in, assessing the situation and swiftly using specialized equipment to extinguish the flames, making the atmosphere even more chaotic.Sigourney paid no attention to that. She quickly threw her arms around Theodore and asked anxiously,"But what happened to you just now? Were you burned?""Let me see your injury."Theodore had intended to endure it in silence, hiding it so Sigourney wouldn't worry. But even in her weakened state, Sigourney managed to clearly instruct the nearby security guard to bring her a bag of ice for compressing.Then, with precision, she pulled up the hem of Theodore's trouser leg.A red, blistering burn was revealed, s

  • Reborn for Revenge: My Husband Is Mine   Say goodbye to this life

    The employees, long accustomed to Sigourney's generosity, ordered without the slightest hesitation. They called for a table full of dishes, then raised their glasses together for beer.The sound of lively chatter filled the private room.Sigourney quickly adapted to the bustling atmosphere, drinking beer and talking with everyone.Occasional gatherings like this put Sigourney in a rather good mood.After the dishes were served by the restaurant staff, the atmosphere grew even more animated. Sigourney chatted for a while, then quietly stood up and stepped outside.She walked into the empty hallway and called Theodore.He picked up almost instantly."Are you about to head back? Send me your location.""I'll come pick you up right away."Sigourney was never someone who enjoyed noisy crowds, so at events like this, she often left early. Concerned that she might happily drink beer or wine with her colleagues and be unable to drive safely, Theodore had offered to come pick her up.Sigourney

  • Reborn for Revenge: My Husband Is Mine   Mom, I'm sorry, but I can't

    Emma looked at Sigourney with anticipation, but Sigourney simply stated bluntly,"Mom, I'm sorry, but I can't."Sigourney's cold refusal was met with Emma's astonished gaze, a mix of disbelief and shock."I know your life has been miserable, but that doesn't mean I must humble myself without conditions."Sigourney looked straight into Emma's eyes as she explained."First of all, this war was started by Lucas. He collaborated with Savannah to falsely accuse me and Theodore of corruption.""Can you imagine the consequences if Theodore and I hadn't fought back? In that case, if you were in my position, would you be begging Lucas to spare us as you are now?"Sigourney gave a mocking smile."Of course, you wouldn't.""So, I can only say, whatever Lucas is suffering now is well-deserved, something he brought upon himself."Sigourney spoke firmly."Second, the rivalry between Lucas and Theodore has existed all along. Lucas plays dirty, and Theodore retaliates; it's only natural.""As a wife,

    On the weekend, as promised, Sigourney finally accompanied Theodore back to the Nichols estate to visit Emma.Of course, nothing was the same as before.When she saw Sigourney and Theodore, Emma was still all smiles, even telling the butler to bring them snacks and fruit tea she had prepared.Her welcome was warm and enthusiastic.However, throughout the entire visit, Sigourney's expression remained rather indifferent, while Theodore wore the same cold demeanor from beginning to end.Emma, on the other hand, was visibly ill at ease. While having tea with Sigourney and Theodore after lunch, she awkwardly took Sigourney's hand."Darling, are you still angry with me?"There was a deeper pain in Emma's eyes."I'm sorry. Back then, I was forced; I had no other choice.I know this matter hurt you deeply. But if you were heartbroken, I was even more so."Emma's touch no longer brought Sigourney the warmth it once did; instead, it felt cold, lifeless.And laughable.Emma clearly knew her acti

    Sigourney's expression grew serious as well."I'm always calm. Just say it."Richard glanced at her, pressing his lips together as though about to speak several times. In the end, he couldn't help but add another reminder."Remember to stay calm when you hear this, Sigourney."He looked at her with visible discomfort, repeating his warning before finally getting to the point."The truth is... your mom..."With every word Richard spoke, Sigourney's face changed. Her wide eyes narrowed in disbelief, her brows knitting tightly together in a way that revealed how impossible it was for her to accept what she was hearing.And when Richard went on to explain, the sound in Sigourney's ears dulled to nothing.A low, hollow ringing swallowed everything, leaving her drained."What you're saying... is it true?"Her heart clenched painfully, each breath a struggle. Her voice came out hoarse, and her face was drawn with exhaustion.Reaching for her glass of water, her hand trembled so badly that th
