Chapter 1

“Zayden, I can explain!”Natalie Moore pulled the boy behind her. Her instinctive gesture cut me like a knife.“This is not the place to talk,” I cut her off and picked up my briefcase.“Have that man come to pick up the child. Then we can talk.”“Yarden isn’t well—”“Natalie.”I stared at her coldly. My gaze was as sharp as a blade.“Do you want me to call your grandfather right now, or should my lawyer be the one to contact him?”Natalie fell silent. The agreement we held could strip her of her position as chairperson of Moore Corp and leave her with nothing.The boy, Xeno Holt, suddenly stuck his head out and shouted at me, “You’re a bad guy! Don’t bully my mom!”It was the innocence children spoke with that made their words hurt the most. Natalie quickly covered Xeno’s mouth and stared at me in panic.“Great attitude,” I sneered. “Yarden sure taught him well. It seems that, instead of improving himself, he spent years turning his son into his little pawn.”With that, I

Natalie said nothing.That silence was soon broken by the ringing of her phone. However, she looked at the screen and did not pick up. Then, it was my phone’s turn to ring.It was an unknown number.I accepted the call, and Yarden’s voice came through, sounding calm, gentle, but weak.“Mr. Jenkins, this is Yarden. I know you’re with Natalie right now. Can I… explain something to you?”I put the sound on speaker and set the phone on the table.“Mr. Jenkins, it’s all my fault.” Yarden spoke politely, with the meek, helpless tone of an educated man.“I’m a failure. I couldn’t provide for Xeno. That is why I had to swallow my pride and come back to ask Natalie for help.“She is loyal and kind, and she only felt sorry for the child. Please don’t blame her.“If you can’t tolerate us, I’ll leave with Xeno immediately. “Even if we have nowhere to go, I’ll never make trouble for you.”Suddenly, the phone carried the sound of a child coughing, and Yarden’s panicked voice followed,

“Natural?” I scoffed. “Then about the agreement Natalie and I signed? Was it all a joke?”“Zayden!” Julian raised his tone. “You are the Moore family’s son-in-law. You need to think long-term. As long as that man doesn’t become part of the family or threaten your position, why not give Natalie some dignity in public? Besides…” Julian looked at me meaningfully. “No children have come out of the five years you and Natalie spent together. A family as large as the Moores needs an heir. Natalie having a child outside the marriage was also for the sake of the Moore family.”A cold feeling spread through my body. Suddenly, I was the party at fault for not making Natalie pregnant, and she was the kind and thoughtful one for having betrayed me. My righteous anger apparently spoke of nothing else but selfishness.“What if I say I want a divorce?”I stared at Julian.His face darkened, and he slammed his cup onto the table. “Don’t be ridiculous! Do you think divorce is a game? Moore Corp’s s

Yes, I too, was a man. But I could not sympathize with Yarden. At the end of the day, he was still the outsider who had intruded on another marriage.“Zayden… Xeno’s surgery is scheduled for next week.” Natalie joined the conversation with a tense voice. “The surgery and the follow-up treatment will cost a lot, but all of the company’s liquid funds are tied up in your new project.”I looked at her. “So?”“I want to put your project on hold and… pull the funds out to pay for Xeno’s treatment.” She did not meet my eyes. “This is a matter of life and death.”That project was my work. I had spent three months pushing myself to the limit to secure it, all to help Moore Corp open up a new market.“Natalie, do you even understand what it means to stop that project?” I started shaking in anger. “It means that the tens of millions that are already invested will go to waste. It means Moore Corp will lose all credibility.”“Money can be earned again, but I can’t just watch Xeno die!” Natali

Natalie froze. Cold sweat ran down her back as she hesitated. She could not make a choice.“Natalie…”Yarden held Xeno’s hand, and his eyes were wet. He wanted to say something but could not.“Please, don’t fight with Mr. Jenkins because of me.”He let go of Xeno and dropped to his knees.“I know you think me a villain, Mr. Jenkins, but I’ll gladly die if it means you’ll forgive Natalie and take care of her during her pregnancy.”He turned toward the window and acted as if he was thinking about jumping.“Yarden!”Natalie panicked. She instinctively rushed forward and held him tightly.“Are you crazy? This is over ten stories high!”“Just let me die. I don’t want to make things hard for you, and I don’t want to ruin another family.”Yarden cried in her arms. He tried to hold it in, but his grief showed through.Xeno started crying loudly as well.The office was in chaos.“Have you caused enough trouble?” A voice spoke with confidence and authority.Julian appeared at the

Not long after Julian left, Natalie and the others came back.Out of nowhere, Xeno threw the toy car he was holding at my leg.“You’re a bad guy! You want to get rid of my dad!”I looked at the family coldly.Natalie stepped in front of Xeno to protect him.“He’s just a child. He doesn’t understand. Don’t pay attention to him.”I laughed. No wonder he was Yarden’s son.Suddenly, Xeno began to have trouble breathing. His heart condition acted up. Natalie and Yarden called the doctor in a panic and arranged a hospital room for him. That night, he was admitted to the ICU. Natalie stayed by his side the entire time.The next morning, while Natalie was with Xeno’s attending doctor, I quietly left the lounge alone. I had already contacted my lawyer and was ready to draft the divorce agreement. The hospital corridor was empty in the early hours. The streaks of water from the janitor’s mop had yet to dry.“Mr. Jenkins.”Yarden called after me as I was making my way to the elevator.

When I woke up, I found that I had been moved from the ICU to a regular hospital room.My leg was in a thick cast, and my head was wrapped in bandages. My whole body ached as if it had been broken into pieces.Natalie sat by the bed. Her eyes were bloodshot.When she saw me open my eyes, she rushed forward in panic.“Zayden, you’re awake! Drink some water.”I turned my head and said in a hoarse voice, “Yarden pushed me.”Natalie’s hand stopped in the air, and her eyes filled with tears. She put down the cup and covered her face in pain.“Zayden… I know you hate Yarden, but you can’t just accuse him like that. The cameras didn’t catch it, but Yarden has bruises. He said you two were arguing and that you tried to hit him before losing your balance. He tried to catch you, but he couldn’t. He was terrified! He kept saying it was his fault. He said he shouldn’t have been in front of you to make you angry.”“Enough.”I closed my eyes. I felt a cold emptiness in my chest. This was th

Natalie’s face paled. “Yarden didn’t do it on purpose. You can’t act so rashly! What will happen to Moore Corp if we divorce? What about the child I’m carrying?”Yarden clung to Natalie’s pant leg and cried even harder.“Mr. Jenkins, I understand that you hate me. If you forgive Natalie and stop the divorce, I’ll take Xeno and leave right away! I’ll never come back.”I looked at the scene in front of me and felt it was utterly absurd. The criminal was acting like a victim. The supposed victim was throwing accusations, and Natalie was trying to defend the so-called greater good.“If we can’t reach an agreement, then we can see each other in court.”Julian came down the stairs from the second floor, leaning on his cane. His face was dark and terrifying. Behind him stood the butler and several bodyguards dressed in black.The entire hall went silent. Only Yarden’s sobs could be heard.“Grandpa, please talk to Zayden. He insists on divorcing me and taking half of the company shares.

Natalie trembled as she opened the report.[The DNA test excludes maternity.]“No… This can’t be…”She sank to her knees. Veins stood out on her hands as she gripped the report.“Yarden, what is this? You said this was the child I gave birth to!”Yarden collapsed to the floor. His face was pale and lifeless.Xeno cried, “Daddy, I want my real mommy! I don’t want this wicked woman!”I sat in my wheelchair, stunned. I could not believe that the Moore family and I had been dragged into this over a fake child. Natalie grabbed Yarden by the collar. Her eyes were red and full of rage.“You liar! Where’s my child? Where did you take him?”“He’s dead! He died long ago!” Yarden shouted hysterically. He gave up. “He got sick and died shortly after going abroad five years ago! This one is adopted. I used him to cheat you out of money! Natalie, who would put up with your spoiled temper if it weren’t for the money?!”Natalie broke down. She slapped him again and again. Julian watched co
