Semua Bab Replacing My Daughter's Daddy: Bab 1 - Bab 10

As soon as Robert said those words, two security guards stepped forward to seize Lucy.I shielded Lucy with all my strength. "Robert, if you dare touch her, I'll divorce you!"He hesitated for a moment, but Becca suddenly spoke up, her voice quivering with urgency."Robert, the babies… Something's wrong with their breathing! We need to get them to the hospital!"His face drained of color. Shoving me aside, he bolted toward the babies in her arms.I took the chance to pull Lucy behind me as I watched his retreating back with a chill creeping into my heart.So this was how it was—in his eyes, the twins were worth far more than his own wife and daughter."I'm taking Becca and the children to the hospital first. And as for divorce, don't even think about it. As long as you acknowledge Becca and the twins, you'll remain the only Mrs. Langer. Audrey, my patience has limits. Don't push me further."After they left, the banquet hall filled with a swell of murmurs."Tsk, tsk… the Lange

The moment I stumbled outside, a wall of flashing cameras engulfed me.Reporters surged forward, shoving microphones in my face."Audrey, is it true you instructed your daughter to harm the twins because you were jealous that Becca gave birth to sons?""Sources say you're unable to conceive again, and that you wanted to eliminate the Langer family's bloodline. Care to comment?""Mr. Langer has already issued a statement saying he will hold you accountable. Do you have anything to say in your defense?"The crush of bodies pressed in on me until I could barely stand.My phone buzzed incessantly with headlines flooding the screen one after another.[Robert Langer's Wife Intends to Kill His Illegitimate Sons][Audrey Flavell Driven Mad By Jealousy]In the photos, the doctored surveillance footage showed a chilling image—Lucy holding a pair of scissors.The comment section seethed with venom: "Vicious woman," "Unfit to be a mother."Only a few scattered voices spoke in my defense

Just as Andrew was about to carry me away, Robert roared, "Put my wife down!"Before I could react, Lucy broke free from Becca's grasp and ran straight toward Andrew."Andrew, my dad is a bad man! He's always bullying Mom with that bad woman! I don't want him as my dad anymore!"Andrew ruffled her hair. "Alright, Lucy. Come home with me."His voice was gentle, but when he turned to Robert, his tone turned to ice."Robert, you don't even understand the most basic gratitude. What right do you have to call Audrey your wife?""Because you leave her bruised from head to toe?" His gaze swept over Becca and the twin boys in his arms. "Or because you brought your mistress and illegitimate children into her home?"A vein throbbed in Robert's temple as he stepped in front of us."She hasn't finished kneeling ninety-nine times to apologize to Becca and the twins. As long as I don't agree to a divorce, she's still my wife!"If you dare take another man's wife and child by force, that's

Robert recoiled as if scalded, releasing me instantly. Becca lunged into the opening, throwing herself against him with a theatrical wail, "Robert, you can't abandon me and the twins! Audrey doesn't even love you!"The mention of two children drew even harsher condemnation from the crowd.I was already reeling from the news of Andrew's impending return to Calixud. Now, my mounting anxiety surged into a sharp pain in my chest, and before I could steady myself, a mouthful of blood burst forth."Step aside!"The familiar, cool edge in that voice cut through the commotion.Andrew strode through the gawking crowd. When his eyes landed on me, fury turned his gaze storm-dark.Becca's act shifted on a dime. She shoved Robert away and fluttered toward Andrew, voice dripping with fake concern. "Andrew, thank God you're here! Audrey's been cheating on you with—""Shut your mouth. She's mine. One more word slandering her, and you'll regret it."He sidestepped her attempt to touch him and c

Fifteen minutes later, Andrew's grandfather arrived, leaning heavily on his cane.His wrinkled hands trembled as they covered the back of Andrew's hand. "I'm so glad you've woken up…"Then he turned to me. "Audrey, thanks for taking care of Andrew."In that moment, I saw gratitude and approval in his eyes, and all my unease melted away.Suddenly, hurried footsteps echoed through the hospital corridor.Robert, reeking of alcohol, shoved through the crowd, waving a yellowed photograph. It was a family portrait."Audrey! You can't marry anyone else!"His roar cracked through the air. Even as security restrained him, he struggled wildly. "We built Langer Group together! You can't just watch it fall into the Thompson family's hands!"Andrew's grandfather gestured for the guards to take him away. His curses faded into the distance.Clearing his throat, Andrew's grandfather said, "Audrey, before Andrew fell into a coma, he kept talking about marrying you."I froze. Andrew, freshly
