Chapter 1

It had only been three hours since I was wheeled out of surgery. The anesthesia had not even worn off yet.That was when Jack Schuyler's true love, Bianca Chance, barged into my VIP maternity suite.She grabbed the glass from the nightstand and hurled it right at my face, hitting my forehead.Warm blood trickled down my forehead, blurring my vision."Thea Summers, you're nothing but a breeding sow!" Bianca yelled as she pointed at me. "You have one baby after the other! Are you just trying to trap Jack with your womb? You disgusting woman!"I was in so much pain I could barely breathe. I clutched the sheets, my fingers digging in so hard the IV line in my hand tore, blood seeping back into the tube."Your children are just a burden to the Schuyler family! They're a burden!"Bianca turned to look at the newborn Luke, the third of my children, in the crib. Luke was wrinkly and sleeping soundly."Small eyes and a flat nose–he looks like a pauper! How could he be an heir to the Sch

Jack was still there, standing, by the time I ended the call.He did not panic at my words, no. Instead, he snickered. "Thea, have you gotten the acting bug? Don't think calling your brother will scare me."He hugged Bianca tighter and said in an even more condescending tone, "Your brother's tiny company doesn't even make enough in a year to cover my family's taxes. The moment you walk out of this room, you won't be able to afford the best baby formula. Leaving the Schuyler family, you are nothing."Bianca, in Jack's arms, was dabbing her tears before shooting me a smug smile.I said nothing.Enduring the stabbing pain in my abdomen, I bent and lifted Luke from the crib.It felt like my stitches were about to split open. With every step, I could feel my clothes soaking through with sweat and blood.At that moment, the doors burst open.Jack's parents, Robert and Mary, rushed in. They had heard the commotion.The moment Mary saw the blood on my forehead, she shrieked, "Oh my Go

Chapter 3

During the month of the divorce cooling-off period, Jack lived a comfortable life.He had signed the billion-dollar development project in the suburbs of Kin City.When the media interviewed him, he sat in front of the camera in a perfectly tailored suit, saying that Schuyler Group's success was a team effort, and it had nothing to do with superstition or fate.He said it with complete confidence.Bianca sat beside him, smiling along.Later, she posted a cropped photo of a medical report on social media with the caption, [Looking forward to welcoming a new life.]The comments flooded in with congratulations.[Mr. Schuyler has been doubly blessed! What a lucky man!][It seems that the fertility luck has changed hands! Ms. Chance had only just entered the family, and she immediately got pregnant.]Bianca even deliberately called me to mock me, "Thea, did you hear? I'm pregnant, too. Jack said that this was the baby that he was hoping for. He doesn't want anything to do with your

I merely lowered my head.Bianca stood up and walked over to me with a glass of wine. "Come on, let's put the past behind us. Have a drink.""I said–no.""No?" She bent down and said softly, but everyone could still hear her. "Is it that you can't drink, or you just don't belong here and want an excuse to run off?"Jack sat nearby, holding his glass in silence.Bianca stood up straight and flicked her wrist. The full glass of wine splashed onto me.It soaked through my blouse in seconds. The moment the alcohol touched my incision, it felt like a red-hot needle stabbing straight through from the inside out.I lowered my head and let out a muffled grunt. I gripped the sides of the chair so tightly my knuckles were white."Oops." Bianca covered her mouth. Her eyes gleamed smugly. "You should be fine, right? It's just a little alcohol."I said nothing.Still, the alcohol seeped through my blouse. My wound was burning, stinging so much that my eyes burned with it.I gritted my te

Chapter 5

I gave the Fenton family three conditions.First, the three children would take my surname.Second, our finances would remain completely separate after marriage.Third, if Stephen ever cheated on me, I could leave at any time with the children, and the Fenton family would not interfere.Henry agreed to them all without any hesitation. Stephen had no objections either.We signed the agreement on that day, while the wedding was to be held two months later.The very next morning, the news broke.Jack's secretary stumbled into his office, voice hoarse with panic, "Mr. Schuyler, it's collapsing. Everything is collapsing."Jack slammed the table. "What is? The landmark project already broke ground!""Fenton Group pulled out! Not only that, but they led every major supplier to cut off our materials. They're saying Schuyler Group's fate is unstable and that we bring bad luck to our partners. The entire construction site is shut down."Workers are on strike. Someone dug up rotten wood

Chapter 6

Over the next week, it was as if the Schuyler family had been stripped bare.The contractor for the landmark project sent a legal notice, demanding breach-of-contract damages.Two billion.Schuyler Group's stock plummeted for four consecutive days. A third of its market value vanished. Several core executives submitted their resignations in quick succession. Some did not even bother saying goodbye.With the supply chain cut off, ongoing partners began pulling back one after another.Their wording was polite, but their meaning was clear.Jack sat in his office every day, watching his secretary enter to deliver him bad news, head out, then enter again with more bad news before heading out once more.He started to lose sleep.At three in the morning, he lay on his big bed, staring at the ceiling. One sentence kept echoing in his mind."Thea Summers is the catalyst."Back then, he laughed at his parents for being superstitious. Fate and destiny were nothing but nonsense.At that

"I'm not running." Bianca smiled. "I'm just going back for the time being. Once everything is more stable on your side, I'll return."Jack stared at her for what felt like forever, and Bianca returned his gaze. She did not look away, no, but her gaze was no longer as gentle as before.It was as if she were looking at a stranger.Jack then realized that she had been planning ever since the day she ended up in the hospital."How much do you want?" Jack asked out of the blue.That caught Bianca off guard.Jack repeated, "Tell me. How much do you want? Give me a number. I'll pay you, and then you can get lost."Bianca sneered. "What right do you have to say such a thing to me, Jack? How much money do you think you have?"Jack grabbed her by the hair and slapped her multiple times until she screamed and thrashed about in the car, kicking a dent in the glove box."You wench! I gave up my sons because of you! Now you're trying to run?"Blood seeped from the corner of her mouth as sh

Chapter 8

When Jack's voice came through the phone, barking and hysterical, my palms were covered in sweat."Bring the settlement contract, and come alone to the old docks in the western suburbs! Otherwise, I'll take these two mongrels and jump into the sea!"By the time I arrived, the sea wind was brutal, cutting against my face.Jack stood at the edge of a broken pier, gripping a steel pipe. Matthew and Mark? Tied up in the corner.Bianca was there as well. Somehow, she had managed to find Jack. Her hair was disheveled as she clung to Jack's arm, asking for money."Jack, if you sell the children, you'll have money, right? Give me ten million, and I'll leave immediately!"Jack gave her a backhanded slap. "Who the hell do you think you are, asking me for money?!"He turned to look at me before looking at Stephen, who slowly appeared behind me. His eyes reddened with jealousy."Fenton? I didn't know you liked sloppy seconds! Those boys are mine! Even if you're rich, you'll be raising my s

Chapter 9

The day the Schuyler Residence was auctioned off, Mary refused to leave. Enforcement officers had to drag her out.She collapsed onto the street, watching as piece after piece of expensive rosewood furniture was carried away, her voice hoarse from crying."Thea Summers, you wretched woman! You've cursed the Schuyler family!"I sat in the backseat of a luxurious limo. I wound the window down and looked at her icily."When Bianca hit my head, all you did was hand me some tissues. Now that the Schulyer family is done for, you're still here, yelling at me. Looks like you're not suffering enough."I gestured to the bodyguards to take her gold bracelet off her. It was part of the Schuyler family's debt to mine.I was going to take it all back–even a single gram of gold.Now that she had nothing left, Mary let out a hysterical scream and ran after me, but the bodyguards dragged her away.In prison, Jack received a legal notice from overseas.The contractor for that hundred-billion-do
