The Choices We Made Chapter 675
Since the paternity test, Katarina had drifted through her days in a daze. After hearing Nathaniel was impotent, she kept telling herself he was no longer good enough for her. But she knew the truth. Nathaniel had been ruined, but she was also carrying someone's illegitimate child. She had fallen from being a cherished heiress to needing her father to trade favors and benefits for a man willing to marry her. She was suffering, too. And while she suffered, Nathaniel and Samantha had actually remarried? Katarina blamed Samantha for putting her in this situation. If Samantha had not insisted on flaunting their love in front of her, she would not have been jealous. Yet Samantha had become Nathaniel's wife again. His impotence might even make him treasure her more. The thought made Katarina furious. When Theodore entered, she looked up and tears welled in her eyes. These were not tears of being hurt, they were tears filled with anger. Ever since Sydney had come to her home to

Another thought occurred to Theodore; it was cold and practical. It had nothing to do with emotions and everything to do with his own interests. He remembered his instinctive reaction when he first heard Lucio's name. It had not been sympathy or grief, but a deeply hidden sense of relief that he did not want to admit. His younger brother was dead, and so was his brother's wife. As for his missing niece... She was supposed to have been in Sydney. But now it was clear that Sydney was not related to them. His mother thought Evelyn had deceived Weston. But judging by his father's care and certainty, he had verified the relationship long ago. All this meant was that Sydney was not that missing girl and she was just something the McQueens had set up. The real one was probably dead. That meant his father's descendants outside the family had all died. No one could appear in the future and demand a share of the Young family's assets. Everything in the Young family would one day go t

"She didn't tell me because she knew how difficult it would be for me," Weston continued his story to Theodore. "She couldn't bear to put me in that position. So she went through it alone. "His name was Lucio River." Weston's lips trembled as he said it. "To stop anyone finding out and damaging my career, she had her parents register him as their own child. Officially, he was her younger brother." "I found photographs of him. He was handsome, just like me when I was young, with all his mother's beauty, too. He could also sing. I found a tape of him singing The Faithless Husband, and would listen to it when I was alone. "But I couldn't see him. He had emigrated as a child. Evelyn's family had considerable assets overseas, too. He had everything he needed and received a very good education. Later, he married Yvonne, who was then the head of the McQueens' overseas business." "Yvonne? Yvonne Manning?" Theodore frowned. He seemed to remember hearing the name in business circle

Theodore said nothing and simply watched Weston in silence as he began with his story. "I didn't choose to marry your mother willingly. "She came to the chemical company pregnant and caused a scene in my office and in front of my superiors. She said I refused to take responsibility. I had only just been promoted into management, and she nearly destroyed my future. "They called me in and told me to marry her or lose my job. I had no choice but to marry her." He paused, a bitter, self-mocking smile touching his mouth."Your mother always says I owe her. It never occurred to her that I didn't want to marry her in the first place. She used a child to trap me. "I had no feelings for her when she was carrying you. But after you were born, I accepted it. I thought that that was my life. A man with a wife and a child should settle down and just get on with things. "I accepted the way things were. She did not. She never had a pleasant word for me. Whenever I came home, all I heard

"But what about Katarina?" Theodore asked Weston. "Victor's the only suitable man we've found." Weston turned to his son. He understood the expression on Theodore's face. His son was anxious and torn between two worlds, caught between his father's principles and the crisis facing his daughter. But he did not intend to yield. It was not that he did not feel for Katarina. He simply knew the McQueens' methods too well. Give them an inch today, and they would want a mile tomorrow. Sacrifice Samantha now, and Hunter's interests would be next. Whether it was Nathaniel, Victor, or Finella, not one of the McQueens was easy to deal with. When someone bargained with wolves, every concession only convinced them that their opponent was weak and easy to prey on. "She doesn't have to marry into that family," he said abruptly. Theodore blinked. "What?" "Katarina doesn't have to marry a McQueen." His tone was calm, but he made every word count. "None of those people from that famil

Weston kept his eyes closed and asked Theodore, "What condition does Victor want now?" "He wants Samantha's medical robotics project," Theodore said quickly. "He wants the entire project transferred to him, including the funding already in place, the technical team, admission to the government industrial park, and the partnership framework with Health Core. "He says that's the price of the marriage. If we refuse, there's nothing to discuss." The car fell silent for about three seconds. Weston opened his eyes. He sat up straight and turned toward his son. There was something in his eyes that Theodore had not seen in his father in a long time. It was a coldness that was close to contempt rather than pure anger. "How despicable," his father spoke quietly, each word coming out of his mouth as he gritted his teeth. "Hunter told me that Samantha has built that project herself from the ground up. You helped secure government funding. She had even divorced Nathaniel for it. "Sh
