On my 18th round of IVF, I accidentally overheard a conversation between my husband and his secretary. Yvonne asked, "Babe, do you really have to have a baby with her? What about us?" Zayn explained, "Don't worry. I've already switched the eggs with yours. So, Candice will actually be carrying our child, and you won't have to suffer through pregnancy. When the child grows up, all the Summers fortune will be his!" I pretended I did not hear a word, focusing instead on raising the son I worked so hard to bring into this world. 18 years later, my son was celebrated as a "computer genius", and he returned home after earning his doctorate. I transferred all my shares and real estate to him without hesitation. That was when Zayn finally decided to come clean and said, "Candice, the truth is, Luca is actually mine and Yvonne's. Let's get a divorce, and it's time for Lucas to be reunited with his biological mother." I simply smiled and replied, "I agree to the divorce." After weaving this web for 18 years, it was finally time to reel it all in.

Zayn exploded in rage. "Do you know who I am? I'm the CEO of this company! You're just a security guard—how dare you treat me like this? You're fired!"Most people would have panicked at such a threat from the CEO, but the guard merely rolled his eyes. "Maybe figure out why the system won't recognize your face first."It was then reality hit Zayn. He had been standing outside for 15 minutes, and though dozens of employees had seen him, not one had offered to help him inside.He pulled out his phone and checked the Summers Group's website, finding an announcement from two days ago.[CEO Zayn Yeager and his secretary, Yvonne Rogers, have been terminated due to personal misconduct severely damaging the company's reputation.]Zayn's hands shook so badly that he almost dropped his phone. Yvonne peered at the screen and shrieked, "We've been terminated?!"In a fury, Zayn tried calling Lucas, only to find he had been blocked. He spat, "Ungrateful brat!"He screamed in anger and attempt

I took a sip of coffee and shrugged casually. "Because you were actually competent at the job. And as for why I didn't expose you right away—well, first, you were cheap."I remembered how Zayn had initially offered to work for just one dollar a month to gain my trust. He had said, "Honey, I just want to work for you. This dollar represents not just a salary but also my complete devotion to you."I had been so touched that I even planned to transfer some of my shares to him after Lucas was born. Instead, I discovered his dollar salary was just another manipulation, so I decided to play along.After all, why would I turn down a free employee when market-rate CEOs command at least 2 million dollars a year?The money he had saved me could count as interest on his debt to me.His face turned pale at my blunt answer. "A few million a year is nothing to you. That can't be the only reason."I was surprised. After 20 years of marriage, he did know me somewhat. "Well, there is a second rea

"Let go of me, you little bastard!" Zayn struggled against Lucas's grip.I stepped forward and, with all my strength, slapped Zayn across the face with a resounding crack.As he reeled from the blow, I shook my stinging palm and warned him, "Watch who you're calling names."I mocked him, saying, "Zayn, do you actually believe you're someone just because you've been mingling with upper-class society for the past 18 years?During those years, Zayn had transformed from the humble CEO who had once groveled before me into someone who thought he could order me around, drunk on the flattery of clients, employees, and his devoted mistress.That slap was his wake-up call, a reminder of his proper place. The shock on his face was almost comical—he had grown too accustomed to his perceived superiority.He wanted to fight back, but the crowd's condemning stares made him realize he had no ground to stand on. After all, from switching the eggs to trying to seize control and push me out, he was

The room buzzed with murmurs and speculation. The crowd could not deny the striking resemblance between us."They're practically identical! Who wouldn't believe they're mother and son?" someone called out."And look at Ms. Rogers. She's so plain one will just lose her in a crowd. How can she be the mother of someone as handsome as Professor Summers?"Yvonne, desperate and flustered, blurted out the truth, "During the IVF procedure, Zayn personally switched Candice's eggs with mine! Lucas is my son with Zayn—he only looks like her because she carried him!"The crowd erupted in outrage."Ms. Summers went through IVF 18 times, and Mr. Yeager switched her eggs with his mistress'? That's beyond cruel!"Another voice shouted, "Just when we thought the affair and baby swap was shocking enough, they pulled this out!"Yvonne paled, realizing too late the impact of her desperate confession. However, Zayn remained calm. After all, the Summers Group shares were finally in his son's name, in
