Chapter 1

In a fit of rage, Walter Gray kicked over the birthday cake and snarled, "Alice Carter! I've only been working abroad for five years, and you've gone and got yourself knocked up? You're such a shameless woman! Tell me who the father of this bastard child is. I'm going to make sure he'll never survive in Salton!"Seeing the meticulously prepared birthday party ruined by Walter, my own temper flared. "Walter, this is not the time and place for you to go on a rampage. Stop acting crazy. If there's something wrong with you, go to a hospital."The mention of the word "hospital" sent Walter into a frenzy at once. He came straight at me, grabbing my arm and dragging me toward the door."Go and get an abortion at the hospital right this instant!"He was too strong. I could barely even attempt to struggle.Just then, Ethel, Walter's grandmother, heard the commotion and hobbled over with her cane. When she saw Walter's violent actions, her heart jumped into her throat. "Walter! Let go of Al

Before Ethel could finish speaking, Isabel cut in, saying, "Look, Walter. Mrs. Gray Senior's complexion doesn't seem too good. Maybe Alice hasn't been taking good care of her, or maybe Alice has been threatening her!"I couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity."Ethel raised you herself, Walter, and you've been gone for five years. You know better than anyone why she's in poor health."Scoffing derisively, Isabel walked up to me and said, "Don't you know why Walter left? You were the one who got in between Walter and me, ruining our relationship."The moment she finished speaking, she shoved me violently. My belly hit a hospital gurney that was out in the hallway, and immediately, I felt a sharp pain shooting through me. Something warm began flowing down my leg.Upon seeing that, Ethel became extremely anxious."We need a doctor, quickly! Nothing must happen to Alice's baby!"A team of doctors and nurses quickly came over to check on me, but Walter roared at them, "Don't you dar

Just as Walter's bodyguard was about to hit me with the bat again, a different bodyguard charged in and stopped him."Mr. Walter, you no longer have the authority to do anything to Ms. Carter. Things might go a little easier for you if you stop now and apologize to her," Peter warned.When Isabel saw Peter, her expression darkened a little, but she didn't say anything. Meanwhile, Walter stared at Peter, the unexpected intruder, for some time before remarking, "You look a little familiar… I remember now. You're Jeremy's bodyguard."Then, without warning, Walter grabbed the bat from the nearest bodyguard and smashed it against Peter's head. "You're just a goon we hired! How dare you touch my woman?"Blood immediately spurted from Peter's head, and he collapsed to the floor. My heart dropped when I saw Peter, who had been my bodyguard for a while now, lie unconscious on the floor. I didn't even know if he was still alive. He'd been my only hope, and now, I had nothing."Walter, I beg

All of a sudden, footsteps could be heard outside the operating room. Arthur Dixon, the Gray family's butler, came running in. When he saw the state I was in, he quickly shouted for the doctor to stop. By now, I was barely conscious. I couldn't feel anything apart from the pain.Confused to see Arthur, Walter asked, "What are you doing?"Arthur looked anxious as he declared, "You can't do this to Ms. Carter, Mr. Walter! You two have already gotten a divorce!"Hearing that, Walter put the phone away before snarling through gritted teeth, "I never agreed to it, so it doesn't count! In any case, she cheated on me behind my back and got herself knocked up with some bastard child. Don't I have the right to teach her a lesson?"Arthur had seen the live stream and the tragedy that was happening to me. The moment he found out, he immediately got in touch with his boss, Jeremy, and rushed over as well.Just then, Jeremy appeared in the doorway. Walter was stunned to see that he had come. I

Several hours later, the medical staff emerged from the operating room, looking completely exhausted. One of the nurses was cradling a blood-soaked swaddle.With a terrified expression, the doctor said in a trembling voice, "Sir, Mrs. Gray's life is no longer in any danger. But due to the severity of her injuries and the psychological trauma she endured, we'll have to see if she can regain consciousness within the next few days. As for the child… He didn't make it."The nurse revealed the tiny body in her arms to Jeremy. He gently took the body from her. It was small, about the size of a palm, but it was clearly a male baby."Did I lose my son just like that?" Jeremy's voice was choked with pain and regret.He was almost 40 years old. Even though he looked young on the outside, it wasn't the reality of it. Although he had been involved with many women and even had a wife before, none of them had ever gotten pregnant.All along, he thought this was fate's way of punishing him for a

Two days later, with the household staff holding me for support, I walked into the Gray family's memorial hall. I sat weakly on a chair while Walter crawled across the floor, looking like a wretched mess.His entire body was covered in wounds and blood. Even his clothes were completely destroyed. It looked like he had suffered a lot in the last few days, most likely having been given a good beating.When he saw me, his eyes flickered with emotion. As for me, I felt a surge of rage when I saw his face. He had killed my child and livestreamed my suffering online.Even though Jeremy had arranged for his people to deal with the live stream and its aftermath, I was still burning with shame and didn't want to go out in public.My voice was heavy with resentment as I said, "I told you that you'd regret what you were about to do. You wouldn't have ended up like this if you had listened to me and released me."Walter sneered, "Alice, you just got lucky latching onto my brother. Sure, he be

Isabel was brought into the memorial hall and hauled in front of me. She no longer had the air of utter arrogance she had before. Instead, she looked like she'd been completely drained of all strength. Her baby had been ruthlessly aborted, and she would have a hard time conceiving again.Thus, she became outraged the moment she saw me."Why do you get to be with Jeremy? Why is it that I can only be with a loser like Walter?" Isabel shrieked, but her words had no effect on me.I simply asked the question that I had wanted to ask for a long time. "Were you the one who kept interfering to make sure I couldn't see Walter? You also asked your friends to make life miserable for my younger siblings, right?"Chuckling indifferently, Isabel replied, "Yeah, it was me. What are you gonna do about it? But still, I never thought you'd be able to hook up with Jeremy.""I heard from Jeremy that after you two divorced, you stripped naked and got into his bed in an attempt to seduce him," I remark

Chapter 8

After some time, Walter finally got tired, and Isabel no longer had the strength to scream either.My voice was calm as I meted out their ultimate punishment. "Walter, you've been kicked out of the Gray family. Your name has been erased from the family tree."Walter's eyes were filled with shock and horror. "There's no way! Jeremy would never do this to me!"Since he refused to believe it, I let the bodyguards hand him a tablet. They played him a video of Jeremy announcing to the press that Walter was no longer a member of the Gray family. Jeremy and Walter were no longer brothers, not even in name."No. That's impossible. It's impossible," Walter mumbled to himself before a thought struck him. "What about my grandma? She would never do this to me."I casually shattered his hope by informing him, "Ethel will no longer get involved in your matters either."After hearing what I said, Walter stiffened. Then, he started begging me, "I'm sorry, Alice. I know I made a mistake. Can you
