Chapter 6
“You think I didn’t already know? I have your DNA report with Bella in my hands as well!”
“If you could have a bastard child with another woman, why couldn’t I?“]
“If you so much as touch Damon, then Bella won’t have a good life either!“]]
My father stared at her, his gaze dark and deadly, but he didn’t make another move.[]
Instead, he forced a cold, artificial smile toward the guests.]
“I’m sure everyone is tired. Let’s not keep you any longer.“[]
The guests quickly took the hint and began making their way out.[]
Amidst the chaos, my father slumped onto the sofa, rubbing his temples.[]
Damon stood in silence, not saying a word, though his icy gaze kept darting toward me.[]
Bella, on the other hand, carefully observed everyone’s expressions. But when her eyes met my mother’s sharp, dangerous gaze, she suddenly shuddered.]
Then, my mother spoke.[]
“This can’t be just Damon’s fault. Valerie’s dress was handled by Bella–so she can’t escape responsibility either!“]
Bella’s face twisted in shock.[]
“No! Mom, I didn’t know anything about this!“[]
My mother let out a chilling laugh.[]
“Yesterday, when you were changing outfits, Damon wasn’t even there. If you hadn’t instructed him, how could he have pulled all of this off in such a short time?“]]
“Bella, don’t lie to me. You’re not nearly as clever as you think you are.“[]
In my past life, when I was falsely accused, none of them had ever taken the time to analyze the situation to prove my innocence.[]
Because at the end of the day, what they truly loved…., was their illegitimate children.]
As long as I stayed out of it, they would naturally turn against each other to protect their own blood.[]
Bella’s pupils constricted–clearly, she was frightened by my mother’s sharp tone.]
But she still put on a pitiful expression, crying as she spoke, “I really didn’t! This was all my brother’s doing!”
“He was afraid that after big sister came back, she would fight him for the inheritance–that’s why he did this!“]
Mum! Became Good Could You Love Me N?!
Chapter
Hearing this, Damon’s eyes flickered with shock and betrayal.[]
But before he could speak-[]
Slap!
My mother delivered a harsh slap across Bella’s face.]]
“Shut up! As long as I’m here, you have no place to speak!“]]
Bella clutched her cheek, tears streaming down her face.]
My father, seething with rage, slammed his glass onto the coffee table, shattering it. He gritted his teeth and pointed at my mother.
“This is the Preston family! You don’t get to throw your weight around here!“]]
“Now, take that bastard son of yours and get out!“]]
My mother let out a cold laugh.]
“You pathetic, spineless freeloader. If you hadn’t begged my parents to let me marry you, you never would have had the chance to take over Preston Corporation, let alone live here!“]]
“The one who should be leaving is you!“]
The two of them erupted into a heated argument, while their illegitimate children stood frozen in fear.]
Watching them tear each other apart, I finally felt at ease.
In the end. my mother couldn’t take it anymore and stormed out, dragging Damon with her.[]
I turned to my father, who was still fuming, and asked with feigned curiosity, “Dad, isn’t it strange how Damon seems so fated to be part of our family? I mean, sure, he looks just like Mom…“[]
“But his eyes and mouth–don’t they resemble yours quite a bit, too?“]
At my seemingly casual remark, something seemed to click in my father’s mind.]
He abruptly sat up from the sofa, his expression darkening, his eyes filled with a murderous chill.]
That night, I overheard him making a call on the balcony.]
“Yes. Look into this for me. Check if she was still in contact with Desmond Preston when the media reported she was overseas.“[]
“I heard Desmond hasn’t left Capital City yet. Keep an eye on him near his hotel for the next few days…“[]
Meanwhile, I quietly dialed my mother’s number.[]
“Mom, are you sleeping well out there?”
“Dad’s been in a rage all night, saying he’s going to investigate someone named Desmond Preston. Who is he?“]
Chapter
There was a brief silence before my mother stammered, “Valerie, just behave yourself at home.“[]
“Don’t listen to your father’s nonsense. I have to go now.“]
