Chapter 58
“If you truly cared for your son, you wouldn’t have left him stranded on the way to his college entrance exam, just because of a single call from Leigh, on a day when the rain poured like the sky was breaking!“}
The image of my obedient, understanding boy facing such a cruel moment, alone and drenched, wrenched my heart painfully.
Soren’s anger flared, his voice sharp and biting. “So what if I didn’t drop him off at the exam site? Are you really going to make a mountain out of a molehill?”
“With that petty, nagging attitude, you’re not fit to be a mother, much less worthy of being Mrs. Hendricks!“}
“You want a divorce? Fine. Bring our son here, and I’ll sign it right now!”
His voice thundered, barely containing his fury.
At that, Aubrey Hendricks, his mother, quickly jumped in, “Soren, this should’ve happened long ago.“}]
“Melissa was nothing but a low–born woman, clueless about the world. She could never measure up to the Hendricks name.“}
“People from different worlds were never meant to be together. If my precious grandson kept following her, he’d be dragged down and never learn the grace demanded by high society.“}
The other Hendricks family members joined the chorus, their voices sharp and angry. “Bring out our young master at once! Don’t let her rotten presence spoil such a bright future!“>
As the entire family united to push me out, Leigh smiled with triumph, her eyes glinting with a victorious challenge, daring me to fight back.
The business elites and wealthy families present all joined in, applauding Soren for his wise choice. They sneered that I was unworthy, had married far above my station, lacked gratitude, and only brought disgrace to the prestigious Hendricks name.
1 studied their self–righteous, twisted faces and let out a bitter laugh.
So Soren cheating, keeping a mistress, and fathering an illegitimate child was perfectly justified.”
Meanwhile, I, innocent and wronged, became the target of scorn from these so–called nobles.} What a cruel joke.§
I drew in a steady breath, fixed Soren with a sharp gaze, and spoke in a deliberate, calm tone.} “I brought our son.”}
Soren’s eyes swept the room, his brow furrowing. “Where is he?“}
The rest of the Hendricks family glanced around, confusion flickering as they searched for the boy.”
Aubrey even put on her reading glasses, squinting as she scanned the hall. “Where’s my precious grandson?“}
I reached into my bag, pulled out the urn, and slammed it down on the main table.}
“He’s right here!“}
