Chapter 51: Protect or Pay

(Raymond’s POV)“Who the hell did this?” I asked, my voice low and tight with fury.Patricia had a small cut on her lip. It wasn’t deep, but seeing even a tiny mark on her perfect skin made my blood boil. Someone had clearly attacked her, probably slapped her, and I hated the thought of it. She was my wife now. She belonged under my protection, and no one had the right to lay a finger on her.“It’s… uhm…” she stuttered, swallowing hard. “It’s nothing.”My jaw tightened even more. Nothing? Did she just call being attacked “nothing”?“That doesn’t look like nothing to me,” I said through gritted teeth, trying my best to stay calm.Patricia sighed softly, a weak smile forming on her lips. “It’s really nothing, Raymond. I already took care of it. So don’t worry about it.”I stared at her quietly for a while. She wouldn’t tell me who had hit her. She said she’d handled it, but how well? Was it enough to keep them away from her for good?“Do you need my help with that?” she asked suddenly,

Chapter 52: They Lied to Me

(Mason’s POV) I had been pacing up and down the company lobby, my chest tightening with every passing second. I heard Patricia was coming to the company today, and I’d been standing here, impatiently waiting for her arrival. I couldn’t believe what had just happened. How could Patricia do such a thing? My mum had come home yesterday crying bitterly. She said they went to Smithfield to meet Patricia and beg her for mercy, to ask her to give our company back to us. But she didn’t listen to them. Instead, she slapped my mum and even threatened to fire Lucy. I was so hurt that Patricia dared to treat my family that way. And when I saw Lucy this morning, holding her resignation letter, saying Patricia forced her to resign, it broke me completely. “How could she do this?” I muttered to myself, running a hand through my hair. It wasn’t enough that she took our company away and humiliated my family, now she had to slap my mum too? Why? Just then, the wide glass doors slid open,

Chapter 53: The Envelope

(Mason’s POV) “Why did you lie to me?” was the first thing that came out of my mouth. “What… what do you mean?” Lucy stuttered, glancing briefly at Mum. “What are you talking about?” “You said Patricia attacked you for no reason,” I said, trying hard to stay calm. “But you were the one who attacked her first!” The room went silent for a moment. Both of them avoided my eyes. My chest tightened, they had actually lied to me. “How could you go to her office and attack her? How could you slap her, Mum?” I asked, disbelief heavy in my tone. “And what if I slapped her first?” Mum shot back, standing up immediately. “Who gave her the right to slap me back?!” “Exactly, Mason! How could she slap Mum back? She’s old enough to be her mother!” Lucy added sharply. I swallowed hard, my throat burning. I had said that same thing to Patricia too, but her reply was something I didn’t expect. For years, Patricia had hoped Mum would see her as a daughter. She respected her, loved her, even call

Chapter 54: The Mother-in-Law’s Love

(Patricia’s POV)"There you are, sweetheart," Mrs. Salvador called sharply the moment I stepped out of the car.A genuine smile spread across my face as I walked toward her. It was the weekend, and we had planned to meet at the mall today."Hello, Mrs…" I started politely, but she didn’t let me finish. She pulled me into her arms, hugging me tightly.I froze for a second before my hand finally rested on her back. I’d had a mother-in-law before, but she had never smiled at me this sweetly or hugged me like this."I'm glad you made it," Mrs. Salvador muttered.I smiled softly, feeling my heart melt. She had always been kind to me from the very first day we met. And today, she had invited me to shop with her. How could I ever miss it?"Come," she said softly, her face glowing with excitement. "Let’s go in."Her hand slipped gently into mine, holding me firmly as we walked into the mall. My heart pounded heavily. It was my first time shopping with a mother-in-law, and I was nervous.Mrs.

Chapter 54: The Dumbest Move

(Patricia’s POV)“What the hell?” I muttered.So this was their little game? I knew something was off that day... the way they had begged and played innocent about the company. All along, they had secretly recorded everything and planned to use it against me.“That person in the video…” Mrs. Salvador mumbled beside me, disbelief heavy in her voice. “Is that really you?”She turned slowly to me, her eyes filled with curiosity. My heart pounded hard in my chest... not out of fear of what the world would say, but because of her. I cared about what she would think of me.She had been the kindest, most loving mother-in-law I could ever ask for, and the thought of her being disappointed in me made my stomach twist. Now that she had seen the video, would she believe I was some arrogant woman with no respect for elders? Or a greedy businesswoman who stole other people’s companies?“Are you really the president of Smithfield Global?” she asked quietly.I gripped the edge of my dress, swallowin

Chapter 56: Finally Home

(Raymond’s POV)“Everything is ready, Boss,” a voice said over the phone.“Good,” I replied shortly. “Go ahead with the plan.”The Bedfords had crossed the line too many times. I had been patient with them before because of our past relationship, but that ended today. I wasn’t going to show them any mercy anymore."Yes, Boss."My jaw tightened as I ended the call. I leaned back slowly, taking a deep breath and trying to stay calm while sipping my drink.It was already night, but Patricia wasn’t home yet. She had left in the morning to meet Mum for whatever plans they had today, and neither of them had returned.I knew she was safe... she was with Mum, after all, and I trusted Mum completely to keep her safe. Still, I couldn’t help but worry. The news about Patricia was everywhere. The backlash online was brutal. People were saying terrible things about her because of that footage... the same footage I knew was completely fake.That was clearly the Bedfords' doing, a dirty trick to tur

Chapter 57: Unexpected Closeness

(Patricia’s POV)My heart pounded heavily against my chest as Raymond pulled me closer. His warm arms wrapped around me like I was a baby, like he never wanted to let me go.He had never hugged me like this before. Part of me liked it, but I couldn’t help wondering if he was really okay."Are you… okay?" I asked softly, my voice gentle against his chest.Raymond nodded. "Yes, I’m fine," he whispered.Then he pulled back just enough to see my face. His soft hands cupped my cheeks. I gasped at his touch, my fingers tightening on his shirt."It’s just…" He paused, swallowing hard.His eyes stared into mine. For a moment, I got lost in them. They held so many emotions I couldn’t read. Raymond was strikingly handsome, possibly the most handsome man I had ever seen."It’s just what?" I mumbled weakly, my eyes searching his."I’m… I’m happy you’re home safely," he said quietly, his thumbs brushing my cheeks. "I was worried about you."A soft smile curved my lips. I knew he was. He had always
