Side Chick Era… Over Chapter 2291
Richard spoke again."And the kid—what's the real story there?"Mateo answered, "Truth is, after Audrey got pregnant, even she wasn't sure who the father was. Back then, she was sleeping with both you and Finnick. She decided to use the baby as her ticket to a better life."If the child wasn't yours, she'd claim she'd been assaulted and taken advantage of."The truth is, she was done with Finnick. If the baby turned out to be his, she planned to use you to get rid of him. She couldn't stand having him constantly hanging around, blackmailing her, and she had nothing but contempt for a man like him."If the child was yours, even better. She'd use the kid to cross class lines and change her status."Originally, she had two plays. The first was to marry you and become Mrs. Kalen. But after trying for so long, she realized you had no intention of divorcing Shayla."Sure, you'd agreed to support her for the time being, but once your memory came back and you remembered your three sons,

Rick spoke coldly, "Mateo, don't think that just because so many years have passed, the truth can't be uncovered. All it takes is one phone call from me, and within half an hour, everything that happened back then will be laid bare."If you tell us the truth now, you'll spare yourself some unnecessary suffering. Don't wait until we're forced to use other methods before regretting it."The panic on Mateo's face was visible to everyone.A sheen of cold sweat had formed on his forehead. His complexion turned pale, his breathing quickened, and his eyes darted about helplessly.Scott added, "If you come clean today, we'll consider the fact that you once took care of Dad and won't pursue the matter any further. But if we uncover the truth ourselves, don't blame Dad for forgetting old ties and showing no mercy."Under the relentless pressure from Scott and Rick, Mateo's psychological defenses finally crumbled. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, steadied his emotions, and at last began

Maybe it was because so much time had gone by, but the recording kicked off with a burst of static.Then Finnick's voice came through the speaker."Audrey, are you sure the kid you're carrying is really mine?"Even though he sounded much younger, there was no mistaking that voice—it was Finnick's.A woman's soft, elegant voice followed right after."Finnick, would I ever lie to you about something like that?"Finnick asked, his tone dripping with suspicion, "You told Richard this baby is his. Isn't he going to find out? What if he orders a paternity test? Won't the whole thing blow up in our faces?"Audrey answered coolly, "If a test ever proves the child isn't his, I'll tell Richard that you forced yourself on me while I was drunk and that I had no clue what happened. I know how to make him raise this kid."Down the line, she's going to be our golden goose. But you're going to have to play the bad guy one more time, Finnick."Finnick let out a laugh."If it means a better li

Victoria's face turned deathly pale with anger, and her entire body trembled."Nonsense! I don't even know you!"But Finnick remained completely unfazed."You don't know me, but your mother certainly does. Back in our village, everyone knew your mother was my sweetheart."If I hadn't been unable to scrape together enough money for the bride price, we'd have gotten married long ago."I spent two years working away from home to save enough money to marry Audrey. But when I came back, she'd already married another man."Audrey told me then that the man she'd rescued was someone important—a wealthy big shot. He was so rich that he could buy our entire village without a second thought."She said that if she took good care of him, she'd enjoy a life of luxury and never have to struggle again. She wouldn't have to stay in the village. She'd be living in a mansion in the city instead."So, for the sake of money, I let Audrey continue looking after him. But..."Finnick abruptly changed

Thomas continued, "Tomorrow, the Kalen Group's stock price will probably drop sharply again. I think we shouldn't just let this Finnick guy leave like this. We should bring him in and find out who is behind this."As he spoke, he glanced at Sharon beside him."Sharon has been working hard for the Kalen Group and the Kalen family. Even if you can't help her, that would be one thing. But instead, you keep dragging her down. Every few days, some scandal appears and affects the Kalen Group's stock price."I'd like to ask everyone here—have you been living such comfortable lives for too long that even billions in market value disappearing no longer matters to you?"Everyone's expressions turned unpleasant. Even Silas's hands, which had been peeling shrimp, paused for a moment.He still held three percent of the Kalen Group's shares. A drop in the company's market value would also affect his dividends.At that moment, Scott spoke up, "This person wouldn't have come here for no reason.

Mateo raised his glass and toasted Richard."After seeing how bravely you drove those thugs away, my impression of you had completely changed."And you learned everything so quickly. No matter what it was, you always managed to do it better than anyone else."I came from a small fishing village and didn't have much experience with the world. I've never met anyone more capable than you."Mateo continued enthusiastically, recounting Richard's heroic deeds.Victoria cooperated as well, showing surprise and admiration as she praised him.After spending so long feeling frustrated and disappointed by his children, Richard was reminded of his youthful confidence and ambition. He couldn't help but feel a little proud of himself.Scott's expression darkened until it looked as though it could drip with anger.The happier Richard had been in the fishing village, the more ridiculous Shayla's situation seemed in comparison.While Shayla struggled to protect their three children and despera

"Kelly."The voice on the other end was clean and pleasant."You haven't been doing too well lately, have you?"Kelly's breath hitched. "I… I'm managing."A soft chuckle followed. "You've taken quite a beating from Sharon recently, haven't you?"Just hearing Sharon's name made her grind her tee

Casey rose to her feet. "They're upstairs. I'll take you to them.""Thank you," Thomas replied.She led him up the stairs to find Sharon and Wendy. Along the way, Casey kept glancing at the man beside her.His looks were so exceptional that even in the entertainment industry, he would rank among

Denise wasn't particularly interested in men. But no one could completely ignore something beautiful.Thomas started talking to her too.As their conversation deepened, Denise found herself treating him like a confidant.She wasn't the kind of person who could keep things to herself. A few casual

Sharon looked at Carter, her gaze cold and glassy."Carter, I warned you to keep your precious Kelly away from me. If you can't control the dog you raised, then don't blame others for disciplining it for you."Her eyes locked on his. "Not everyone shows mercy just because the dog has an owner."T
