As for Samuel’s former supporters, they quickly changed sides, cursing him and Rachel along with everyone else.
Samuel, flushed with anger, shouted, “Quincy, do you have to humiliate me like this? How will Lily face anyone now?”
Rachel seemed to grasp the situation and put on an act, crying, “It’s all my fault. I asked Samuel for help. Leo has grown up without a father, and I just needed him to pretend for a day. Who would have thought… it’s our fault as a poor widowed mother and son!”
With that, she fell to her knees before me, slapping herself.
Samuel and Leo rushed to stop her, Samuel glaring at me with bloodshot eyes. “Are you trying to drive Rachel to despair?”
Some onlookers began to feel sorry for Rachel. “She’s just a mother trying to give her son a perfect birthday.”
“How cruel to use influence against a widowed mother and her son!”
I stepped forward, amusement in my eyes. “Was it really just innocent help?”
Rachel froze, not knowing how to respond as Luke presented an investigation report.
The crowd erupted once again.
When Rachel had given birth years ago, Samuel had been with her the entire time. There were video recordings and medical records to confirm it.
Rachel was indeed an unmarried mother, but the child had a father – Samuel.
No wonder, all those years, whenever Samuel bought gifts for Lily, he bought one for Leo too.
I hadn’t thought much of it before, but now I saw the signs.
I recalled a year when a flu outbreak hit Deerfield. Lily was sick for days, and I managed to get some special medicine just for her. The next day, it disappeared.
When I confronted Samuel, he avoided my gaze, claiming it was for a friend’s child in need.
I was furious. Other kids were precious, but wasn’t my Lily my everything?
Lily suffered for so long with a high fever, and my heart ached for her.
But later, Samuel let it slip. He had given that rare medicine to Rachel, even though Leo wasn’t even sick. Rachel had just said, “Samuel, I’m worried Leo might catch it too. Can I have some?” Infected. Rachel had just said, “Samuel, I’m worried Leo might catch it too. We should have some medicine ready, just in case.”
Samuel handed it to her.
From that moment, I began to have doubts and hired people to look into things.
Until today, I finally gathered solid proof.
“Samuel, Rachel, you lowlifes! What do you have to say for yourselves?”
I threw the evidence at them. The thin A4 paper sliced Samuel’s cheek, causing it to bleed.
Everyone around us was furious. This was downright despicable!
He had a child with another woman and still married into a wealthy family, using his wife’s fortune to support his ex and their illegitimate child!
Samuel wiped the blood from his face and suddenly laughed, staring at me coldly:
“So you figured it all out.”
“And? We’re married now. Even if we divorce, I’m entitled to half of your assets. Plus…”
“While you were pregnant and after you gave birth, I took control of the business department. I can easily launch my own company!”
