Semua Bab My Son Is His Only Heir: Bab 1 - Bab 9

Scott had put on his pants in annoyance and grabbed my chin to say, "You need to know your place, Sophie. You were only able to marry into the Jameson family because you were pregnant. Otherwise, you'd be nothing to me."That was when something inside me broke. Since then, I no longer made a fuss or caused any scenes. I would even make sure to give him space whenever he brought a woman home. It was not me giving in to my fate. I just understood the rules of the game now.I leaned over to kiss Connor's soft forehead. He smelled heavenly. His milk-like scent was the only clean scent in this house. I whispered so softly in his ear that it sounded like a sigh, "Don't be impatient, my sweet boy. Everything the Jamesons own will soon be ours."It was my in-laws' 70th birthday party, and they had reserved the top floor of Cloverton's most expensive hotel for the celebration. I attended the party in the champagne-colored dress Scott wanted me to wear. I was supposed to stand by Scott's side

I looked at my small luggage bag, which contained only a few pieces of clothing and my medical license. "I have enough for now," I said softly while looking out the window. "Did you know, Chloe? Sometimes you have to give up everything to get what you really want in life." Chloe sniffled. "I just hope you won't regret your decision."I would never regret it, because I had taken away the only heir to the Jamesons' fortune and legacy.Many things could change in two years. Connor and I were now living in a small apartment in East Cloverton. I would take him to kindergarten during the day and then head to the hospital for work. When nighttime came, I would cook and play with him, then tuck him into bed. Life was hard, but it was peaceful.Scott and Rita got married three months after our divorce. It was a grand wedding, described by the media as 'a celebration of true love'. In their wedding photo, Rita wore a gown worth millions, while Scott looked at her tenderly, his hand resting

I looked up at Scott. "The Jamesons' foundation is now tied to my son. Either you sign the papers and guarantee Connor's right to his inheritance in the future by making me a shareholder, or you reject my request and watch your relatives eat your family alive."Scott's fingers trembled."I'll give you three days to think about this." I pushed the papers to him. "Meanwhile, I have a gift for you." I took out another folder from my drawer, which contained many pictures of Rita entering and leaving hotels with different men. The timeline of those pictures spanned two years, and the last page contained a hospital medical report. 'A high risk of being HPV positive, accompanied by a herpes virus infection'.Scott's eyes widened. "Your pure, naive, precious little lover who came from a poor family…" I said slowly as I watched him gradually break down. "Before she knew you, she was a regular at an exclusive club in Cloverton, and she continues to frequent it even after marrying you. By

Rita got almost no alimony. The prenuptial agreement was very clear that she would get nothing in the divorce. She tried to make a fuss over it, but the Jamesons issued her a warning. If she continued creating trouble for them, they would send those pictures and the medical report to her parents back in her hometown. Rita vanished after that, as if she never existed.Scott's condition kept relapsing. The herpes virus's damage to his immune system was a long-term one, and in addition to that, he had been scarred mentally and emotionally, which broke him down. When he was absent from the board meeting for the third time, his parents came looking for me. This time, they did not come to see me at the hospital, but in the small apartment that I rented.His mother was no longer the proud woman she usually portrayed and even seemed abashed. "Sophie, I know we let you down," Scott's father was the first to speak up. "But the Jamesons cannot fall. We're getting old, and Scott's condition is…"
