Chapter 38 Before he could finish, Shawn’s mocking voice cut in sharply. “How could she be a miracle worker? She can’t even cook properly! A woman who barely finished school? She only got to be a doctor because my dad pulled some strings. She’s a fraud! If you want to
Chapter 37 Shawn, meanwhile, went to Candice’s side, clinging to her hand. “After the divorce, Aunt Candice can be my new mom! I don’t want a cripple who’s been to jail as my mom! Aunt Candice is pretty and she’s a great dancer. All the other kids will be so
Chapter 36 Rebekah felt a cold laugh rising in her throat. *Love me? Spoil me? Had he spun so many lies that he had started to believe them himself? How could he say such things with a straight face p> Rebekah had no desire to continue the argument. “If you

Chapter 31 A wave of irritation washed over Benjamin. He glanced at the onlookers and let out a cold snort. “Mr. Griffin, your father also invited me as an honored guest. Are you really going to throw me out on the word of this pretty boy? How will you explain
Chapter 30 Chapter 30 At his words, Mr. Griffin’s smile faded as he took in the scene. He caught Jensen’s warning glance and quickly plastered the smile back on, his tone becoming almost sycophantic. Jensen, what’s your take on this p> Jensen’s expression was unreadable. He toyed with the watch
Chapter 29 Chapter 29 Benjamin’s eyes were filled with a raw, cold anger. Rebekah scowled and took a step back. “It has nothing to do with you anymore, does it?” she replied coolly. In the next moment, Jensen stepped forward, his hand hovering near the small of her back in
Chapter 28 Chapter 28 She might have even been tempted to overlook his coldness, his favoritism, and try to make it work for the sake of their child. But she knew the truth. Rebekah tried to pull away, but Benjamin held her fast. Candice chimed in, “Rebekah, you shouldn’t be

Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Rebekah had to stop herself from laughing. They had hidden their marriage for years, and now, on the verge of divorce, the world still didn’t know she was Benjamin’s wife, let alone compliment them as a couple. But it didn’t matter anymore. Soon, she would be
