Todos los capítulos de My Adopted Son Brought Home His Pregnant Mistress: Capítulo 1 - Capítulo 9

"Josiah, I've had enough. Take that woman and get the hell out of my sight!" I snapped. "As of today, you're no longer my son.""Fine!" Josiah clenched his jaw. "I'd love to see who's going to keep the Barnes empire running for you and who's going to take care of you when you're old."He scooped Ruby into his arms and stormed out of the ballroom, leaving a heavy silence in his wake. He really was an ungrateful little snake.I'd spent years raising him and pouring everything I had into him, only to hear him threaten me the moment he thought he'd gained enough power to stand on his own.Good riddance!"Everyone, please continue enjoying yourselves," I said, raising my champagne glass. "Don't let a little unpleasantness ruin the evening."My expression remained perfectly calm. Not a trace of sadness showed on my face. Charlotte stood beside me, watching me with genuine concern."Mrs. Barnes, are you alright?" she asked."I'm perfectly fine, dear," I smiled warmly. "And I meant wha

"Mom, can't you meet us halfway? Can't we both compromise a little?" Josiah added, trying to sound reasonable.Ruby lifted her tear-streaked face from his chest and looked at Charlotte pitifully."Charlotte, as long as you give your blessing, Mrs. Barnes will accept us," she pleaded. "I don't even need a marriage license. Just being allowed to stay by Josiah's side is more than enough for me."Josiah looked deeply moved by her words, but I couldn't help giving a cold, mocking smile.What a fool! He genuinely believed he'd found true love.If Ruby hadn't overheard him demanding five million dollars a month for her, she probably would have walked away without a second thought.She stepped toward Charlotte, who immediately recoiled."Keep your pathetic act away from me. It's disgusting," Charlotte warned.Before Josiah could start another argument, I raised a hand and signaled security to take them out.As the two were being hauled away, I couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh.

[Talk about a glaring paternity issue. Neither of them has any known foreign ancestry, yet she just gave birth to a biracial baby? You can't make this stuff up.][And she had the nerve to livestream the delivery. Zero shame.][The Barnes heir got cheated on? This is insane.][The Barnes heir? That whole thing was debunked. Josiah isn't the heir at all. The Barnes Group just posted photos from the real heir's engagement ceremony.]...One sharp-eyed viewer even attached the photos, delivering a devastating reality check to both of them in front of the entire internet.Ruby hadn't even seen the baby yet. She was too busy basking in the surge of viewers on her livestream."Bring the baby over, honey," she urged Josiah. "I want to see him. You're so busy showing him to the camera."But his face was thunderous. He stormed over and pushed the baby toward her."Take a good look at what you just gave birth to!""What? No... this is impossible!"Ruby nearly fainted on the spot. The b

[Josiah, do you have even a shred of conscience left? I raised you as my own son and gave you everything I had. Did you ever spare a thought for me?[You knew perfectly well how close the Barnes and Thorne families are, yet you still humiliated both families for another woman. You even tried to use an unborn child to force me to give in.[I won't even waste time listing every disgraceful thing you've done. And your claim that I kicked you out because I feared you'd compete with Mervin for the inheritance? That's complete nonsense.[I always intended to leave you enough money to live comfortably for the rest of your life. It was your own actions that finally broke my heart. Maybe adopting you was the biggest mistake I ever made.]The moment my statement went public, it was shared across social media at a staggering rate. Because every claim was backed by hard evidence, public opinion turned almost overnight, and people began digging into Josiah's past.[I used to work at a luxury d
