All Chapters of Disowned Dad's Revenge: My New Wife Is Loaded: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

"Dad, don't push me. Do I really have to spell it out for you?"All you do is watch the kids and cook. You can't even buy groceries without asking us for money. We're the ones keeping you afloat. Meanwhile, Patrick's a CEO, and he's about to close a partnership with the Chambers Group. You don't even come close."Patrick told me if I get you to agree to a divorce and remarry, he'll make me a manager at his company right away. So, quit dragging me down. Keep this up, and you're dead to me."My son, Connor Hayes, had a cigarette pinched between his fingers, jabbing it toward my face as he shouted. The lit end hovered so close it looked like it could burn my eye at any second.My daughter, Brooke Hayes, was a little more careful with her words, but the resentment came through just the same."Connor and I did know about Mom and Patrick from the start. It's not like we were trying to hide it from you. What kid doesn't want their parents to stay together? If you want to blame someone, b

Eleanor knew what was holding me back and didn't push. She just said, "Why don't you meet my kids first? If it really doesn't work out, I won't force anything."Her son, Darren Clarke, was the president of the Chambers Group. Her daughter, Stella Clarke, was the chief of a major hospital. After I'd saved Eleanor all those years ago, both of them had gone out of their way to thank me. But that was then, and this was different.When I heard they were coming for dinner that afternoon, my nerves kicked in. But they turned out to be surprisingly easy to be around, and they'd even brought me gifts.Stella said, "Our dad passed away when we were young. Mom was afraid that bringing a stepfather into the picture would make things hard for me and Darren, so she decided not to look."By the time we were grown, she just never found the right person, and it kept getting pushed off. When she called today and said she'd finally met someone and wanted us to come see, we were really happy."Darren

Connor and Brooke never hesitated to spend money on themselves. They always had the latest phones and wore designer clothes. But for their apology to me, the two of them went in together on a case of yogurt that was about to expire."Dad, this is kind of on you too. Your new wife is the chairwoman of the Chambers Group, and you didn't think to tell us? If you'd said something sooner, none of this would've happened." Brooke tried to link her arm through mine sweetly.I couldn't forget the vicious way she'd pressured me into divorcing and remarrying. I pulled away from her hand.Connor glanced at me. "We came all the way here to apologize. Don't push it."I couldn't hold it in anymore. My eyes burned as I shot back, "You two nearly drove me into the ground, and now you think a few nice words make it all go away? How do you have the nerve?"For years, Connor and Brooke had been the ones giving me attitude. They'd never once been on the receiving end. Connor had a short fuse, and he e

I slapped them both across the face, one each. Every ounce of anger I'd been holding in came out at once."I spent the best years of my life raising the two of you, and you drove me to the edge of a cliff. And now you want my help? On what planet do you deserve it? Even if you still want me as your father, I don't want you as my children anymore."I turned and walked away. They tried to come after me, but the bodyguards Eleanor had arranged for me stepped in and blocked them.I had never lost my temper like that before. It finally hit them that I meant it, that I was really done, and they panicked. They called out for me, their voices desperate.I paused for half a second, but I didn't look back. Whatever love I'd had for them, they'd stomped it out themselves.When Patrick and Christine heard what happened, they stopped being calm too. Christine called me."Dean, we were married for 30 years. For the sake of what we used to have, can't you just let this go?""You spent most of
