Chapter 151
Forty-eight years ago.“Victor… who are they?”A young woman in her late twenties, seated in the living room, immediately lowered the magazine in her hands.At the doorway stood two children—a little girl no older than two, and a boy about a year younger—walking on either side of her husband.“Clara… forgive me.”The man in his early thirties hurried to his wife and dropped to his knees before her.“I know what I’ve done is unforgivable. But please believe me—I did this to save our marriage.”Victor Hayes was nothing more than an ordinary man who, driven by reckless courage, had eloped with his boss’s daughter three years earlier to live with her in a remote village.Clara Harrington.She was the youngest daughter of Theodore Harrington, the wealthiest man in Havenport at the time.Victor had never coveted her family’s fortune. His feelings for her were genuine.Two years later, Theodore’s men discovered their whereabouts. The patriarch personally led a group to retrieve his daughter.

When Clara opened her eyes the next morning, she nearly screamed when she saw a young woman—slightly younger than herself—feeding her husband.“Victor…”But instead of a scream, only a weak cry escaped her lips.“Honey, you’re awake?”Hearing Clara’s voice, the two of them immediately panicked and tried to act as normal as possible.“Oh, right. I haven’t introduced her to you yet,” Victor said quickly.“This is Eleanor, the babysitter for our children. I don’t want you to exhaust yourself taking care of two kids at once, so I decided to hire her. I know you’d agree with my decision, wouldn’t you?”Victor smiled as he brought a bowl of soup to his wife and gently fed her.“Come on, open your mouth. Let this food give you some strength.”Clara did as he asked, slowly opening her mouth.She smiled and nodded.But deep inside, she could feel something drifting in the wrong direction—terribly wrong.Even so, for reasons she couldn’t understand, she couldn’t bring herself to be angry at her
Chapter 153
“Eleanor.”Clara silently mouthed the name when she saw the bedroom door open.Her face was deathly pale.She could feel something wrong in her abdomen—she desperately needed help.But the moment she saw the babysitter standing there, naked, her heart seemed to stop beating altogether.She knew this woman had just finished sleeping with her husband.Clara understood that Eleanor had come here dressed like this purely to mock her—as if to declare that she had successfully taken her husband away.Behind the fake smiles and feigned kindness the babysitter had shown all this time, Clara now saw the truth.This woman was the real parasite.The real poison in her marriage.Unfortunately, it was all far too late.There was nothing she could do to save her household anymore.Still, she refused to drown completely in her sorrow.There was something far more important she had to deal with right now.With great effort, she lifted her finger and pointed at her abdomen, where the pain was growing
Chapter 154
Eleanor didn’t only want to steal Victor away from Clara—she also wanted the Harrington family fortune, using the baby as her leverage.That was why she kept pressuring the man to claim the inheritance from Havenport’s wealthiest family.“How are we supposed to survive if you’re too weak to fight for your daughter’s rights?!” she screamed.“I don’t care. You will take this to court and get their money as soon as possible.”On the other side, Theodore—still consumed by rage and grief over being unable to bring his granddaughter to Havenport—naturally refused to let his grandchild’s inheritance fall into someone else’s hands.But Eleanor was more cunning.She bribed court officials, who not only granted Victor custody, but also ordered Theodore to pay child support to him under the name of childcare expenses.More than a decade passed.Raised under Eleanor’s influence since childhood, Catherine grew up believing that Clara was a homewrecker who wanted to steal her father from the woman
Chapter 155
Catherine’s body felt paralyzed.Everyone standing before her suddenly felt like strangers—people she had never known.Everything felt foreign.At that moment, Eleanor’s voice rang in her ears once more.“You know, I’ve been waiting a very long time for this.”The laughter on Eleanor’s face suddenly vanished, replaced by an unusually serious expression.“I’m going to spend every last bit of your fortune—and make your life a living hell!”Eleanor knew that all of the Hayes family assets belonged to Catherine.That was why she had been plotting a way to steal everything from her.And the only way was to secretly sell off assets and shares, then drive the family business into collapse until it was declared bankrupt.That way, Eleanor could take everything Catherine owned—without her ever realizing it.“And today is the day! After I get the remaining one billion from Axel, I’ll go straight to the bank and file for bankruptcy. Then I’ll work with them and have them buy up the remaining ass

“Hey, you whore!”Henry immediately wrapped his arm around Catherine’s neck and yanked her violently backward.“Get your filthy hands off my mother!”“You’re all demons! Every single one of you deserves to die by my hands!”Screaming, Catherine struggled fiercely, trying to break free from Henry’s chokehold.“Hahaha!”Lying on the floor, Eleanor showed no fear—nor did she seem to feel any pain from Catherine’s earlier attack.Instead, she burst into loud laughter.“I really never imagined it would be this easy to destroy Clara’s life and her bastard child! Truly mother and daughter—equally stupid! You’re nothing but trash!”“Shameless bitch!”Hearing Eleanor insult her mother, Catherine completely lost it.“You’re the real whore! You stole my father from my mother and destroyed their marriage! You’re a sick psycho! Die already, you filthy, rotten-hearted woman!”Even trapped in Henry’s grip, Catherine continued trying to lunge at Eleanor.But no matter what she said, none of it seemed

“Fine. Say whatever you want.”Catherine let out a faint sneer and shook her head.She no longer cared about this man.Lowering her gaze to the floor, she seemed to recall something.What he was showing her now reminded her of what her father, Victor, had done in the past.“Now I can see what you went through, Mom.”Catherine murmured softly to herself.Affection—and regret—rose suddenly in her heart.“Your husband and my husband were the same. Both of them were bastards who never truly cared about their families.”Though she had rarely spoken with her father, Catherine knew him through the diary Clara had written before falling gravely ill.She had originally read it to better pretend to be that woman’s daughter.Unexpectedly, it became the book that led her to her real mother.Jonathan, just like Victor back then, also came from a humble background.Though he constantly claimed he had married Catherine for love, what his mouth said never matched what lived in his heart.More than on

“A-an arrest warrant?”Staring at the police officer, Catherine’s body trembled.“Oh God, what is this?” she thought. “What have I done wrong?”Unconsciously, Valentina’s hands loosened their grip on the jerrycan she was holding.She couldn’t recall committing any serious crime that would land her in prison.If she truly intended to burn this hotel down, hadn’t she failed to do it yet?Then how was it possible that a police officer was already standing right in front of her?“Do you know who we are looking for, and where she is?”The officer asked again, frowning slightly, growing suspicious of Catherine’s sudden strange behavior.“Hahahaha!”Suddenly, loud laughter echoed from inside the room.“Oh my God! Mother, look at this!”Henry laughed loudly as he turned his head toward the outside.“That slut was just running her mouth about taking revenge on us. And before she could even do anything, the police already came to arrest her. I don’t know why, but I feel incredibly blessed. This

“Officer, I never intended to slander anyone in front of others,” Henry said, still pointing at Catherine. “But this woman—she lives off my mother’s money. So do her husband and her children. And yet today, I heard her deny us as her family.”“You bastard!”Catherine could no longer endure Henry’s endless rambling.“You’re trying to make yourself look good in front of these officers by dragging my name through the mud? How shameless! Is it in your blood to find pleasure in other people’s suffering? Do you even have a heart?”“Officer, just listen to what she’s saying.”Henry put on a sorrowful expression, pretending to be hurt by Catherine’s shouting.“She’s even daring to slander me right in front of my face. I honestly don’t know what else I can say anymore.”He lowered his head, as if he had completely given up on trying to reason with Catherine.Yet at the same time, he was barely holding back his laughter.“This is really hilarious,” he muttered under his breath.“Y-you…”The pol

What?Everyone’s gaze instantly turned to the police officer.He came here for the matriarch?Why?While those questions echoed in everyone’s mind, the officer’s voice rang out again.“I hope you are willing to cooperate and come with us to the police station.”He stared at Eleanor sharply yet politely, his tone matching his gaze.“And not only you,” he continued. “Mrs. Elizabeth and Mr. Henry, I also expect both of you to come with us.”Raising one hand and gesturing toward the car, the officer added, “Mrs. Hayes, please.”Unfortunately, his courtesy was met with the complete opposite response.“Huh! What nonsense is this?”Elizabeth shook her head with a mocking sneer.What the officer said sounded utterly absurd to her.“What exactly are you talking about?”She glared sharply at the officer.“Have you lost your mind? Do you even know who you’re talking to? Even a governor would bow his head when speaking to us. And you dare try to take us away without even asking first? Weren’t you
