Semua Bab Speak No More Of Love: Bab 1 - Bab 10

I yanked her hand off my hands.“Sophia, this is where we end things.“From now on, let’s pretend we never met.”She fixed her gaze on me, and her eyes shimmered as if they might tear up.“I’ll make it up for you. Could you just try to view things from my side. I’ve known James for twenty years. I can’t just stand by and watch him die.”As she spoke, she gradually stepped closer and wrapped her arms around me.I used to crave such warmth more than anything else. But at this moment, it only made me feel sick.“All you care about is James. You aborted our child and disregarded my mother’s life because of him.“In that case, go and be with him.”I pushed Sophia away and strode outside. The moment I closed the door, I heard her crying.…I first met Sophia one night eight years ago.At that time, I was working as a cashier at a convenience store.Several thugs had stolen goods from the convenience store on that particular night. So, I went looking for them on a street they wer

My mother used to be the light of my life. But that light had dimmed, and the humble hut she left me had become my last refuge.I lost track of how many days I spent drowning in thoughts of my mother.It was not until a sharp and insistent ringtone pulled me out of my sorrow.It was a call from Sophia.“Johnny, are you still mad at me?“Tomorrow’s my mom’s birthday. Come join us. My family and I will be there. Remember to bring a gift.”I agreed.As for the gift, I would bring the court notice confirming my divorce filing.The next day, I took it with me to Mrs. Shelby’s birthday banquet.The moment I entered, every member of the Shelby family turned to me.Their expressions varied, but all of them equally looked at me with obvious contempt.“He’s Sophia’s husband, the Shelby family’s son-in-law.”“Son-in-law, my foot! He’s nothing more than just a maid or babysitter. He lives off Sophia. That’s his only place.”In the past, I had been nothing more than a doormat in the Sh

“Johnny, that’s enough!”“Sophia, you forced my hand.” At this point, I felt strangely calm.One could regard this as resentment or disappointment.Regardless, a couple who once loved each other had ended up as enemies.Everything we had been through was nothing more than a passing cloud.At least, I had a clear conscience when it came to Sophia and her family.“You went through all the trouble to get pregnant with James’ child. Try not to lose it from anger.“I’ll see you in court.”After blurting out that final sentence, I did not spare Sophia another glance. Her eyes rolled back as she fainted from anger, but I left.News of the Shelby family’s only daughter carrying another man’s child and taking her mother-in-law’s kidney to save her ex-boyfriend spread like wild fire among the wealthy circles.Some people watched for entertainment, while others took the chance to pile on. Either way, the Shelby family’s reputation was completely ruined.The wealthy valued good reputa

Then, the man turned to me with a solemn look.“Johnny, could you come to the hospital with me?“You could be my child.”I had gone through hardship with my mother since I was child. But it turned out, I was the only son of the richest man in the capital.I fell into a long silence as I stared at the DNA test results.I thought back to what the man, David Moore, had said, “Johnny, your mother and I came from very different worlds back then. But we truly loved each other. I promised I’d marry her, but she didn’t believe me.“On the day I planned to propose to her, she ran away. I didn’t know that she already carried you when she left.“Son, you’ve suffered a lot over the years.”After David finished speaking, I asked him to leave. I needed time alone to process everything.For so many years, it had just been my mother and I. Out of nowhere, a man who claimed to be my father showed up.No words could describe how I felt at this time. I only felt a mixture of emotions surging in

Small groups of people gathered together at the corners of the banquet.They cast envious glances at James as they whispered among themselves.“Capable? I’d say he’s just good at manipulating women. If he didn’t trick Sophia into selling her family’s assets, there’s no way he could’ve secured a project this big.”“The Shelby family had it coming for trusting a snake like him.”“The nouveau riche have no judgment. They can’t even see through a guy like that.”“By the way, have you heard that David found his long-lost son recently?”“Do you mean David Moore, the richest man in the capital? I heard about it. That guy’s the real deal. No one can compete with him when it comes to bidding.”“That’s right. I heard the only reason James and the Carl family were able to secure the project was because the Moore family didn’t participate in the bidding. Otherwise, they never would’ve had a chance.”“That’s awesome. What does David’s son look like? Have you seen him before?”“Apparently,
