As he spoke, Caedric glanced again at the children and said, “Giselle, think about the kids. Can you really bear to let them grow up in a home without a father?”
“I swear, from now on I will treat you well. I’ll love you and the children with all my heart. If I so much as look at another woman again, may I be struck by lightning and die a miserable death.”
At that moment, Caedric appeared sincere. He made his vow with conviction.
Sandra was stunned and looked at Caedric in disbelief.
“Caedric, didn’t you say that I was the only one you’d ever love in this life?”
“You said Giselle was a lowly tramp, not even worthy of carrying your shoes. You said just seeing her made you feel sick. Have you forgotten all of that?“}
Sandra still had not grasped what was going on. In her mind, Caedric was still the proud, untouchable heir of the Arclayne Group.
Suddenly, Caedric turned and slapped Sandra across the face.
“Shut your mouth, you filthy bitch! Giselle is noble and refined. Who do you think you are to compare yourself with her? You’re nothing but a pitiful stray who grew up eating from garbage bins. I only took you in out of pity.”
“I never imagined you’d take advantage of my sympathy to seduce me and manipulate me into making such unforgivable mistakes.”
He slapped her again.
“Get out of the Arclayne household. Don’t ever let me see you again, or I won’t show mercy.”
Sandra sat there, completely stunned, her hand pressed against her cheek.
Her voice trembled as she whispered, “Caedric… what’s wrong with you? You used to say you loved me most of all… Why would you hit me now?”
She turned her eyes toward me, her expression shifting with sudden realization.}
“Giselle, you bitch. Did you threaten him? I know what you’re doing. Caedric and I are soulmates. No one can tear us apart.”
“Don’t think we’re scared just because the Mirelin Family is rich and influential. Caedric is the wealthiest man in the region too, so his assets are worth tens of millions…”
Smack! Before she could finish speaking, Caedric kicked her so hard that she flew several meters away.”
Blood trickled from Sandra’s mouth. She lay curled on the ground, cradling her stomach and crying in pain.
Someone in the crowd let out a cold laugh and said, “Miss Blake, since you and Mr. Arclayne are truly in love, why don’t you leave together?”
“That’s right. You two can start over from nothing to share your joys and sorrows from now on.“}]
Sandra froze, her eyes suddenly locking on the adoption agreement lying on the ground.
In two quick motions, she crawled over and grabbed it, holding it up to her face. As she read, her pupils slowly widened in disbelief.”
“No… no… Caedric is an orphan?“}
“He’s so handsome and carries himself with such grace… how could he possibly be an orphan?”
“Miss Blake, no one’s stopping you and Mr. Arclayne from being together now. The two of you are free to leave.“”
Sandra looked into Caedric’s hopeless eyes and let out a sob before fleeing the hall in tears.
Caedric tried to beg for mercy, but my father–in–law simply waved his hand. Several security guards entered the room and forcefully escorted Caedric out.
He cried and pleaded as they dragged him away, his voice growing more distant with every step.
That same day, my father–in–law took Elion and Lyra into his arms and solemnly announced that forty percent of the Arclayne Group’s shares would be transferred to the two children.
Also, he gave me twenty percent of the shares.
My father–in–law looked at me with warmth and affection in his eyes.
“Giselle, you’ve endured so much.“}
“From now on, you are no longer just the daughter–in–law of the Arclayne Group. You are my daughter. A daughter of the

“Giselle, you’ve endured so much.“%
*From now on, you are no longer just the daughter–in–law of the Arclayne Group. You are my daughter. A daughter of the
Arclayne Group. Is that all right with you?”
“Don’t worry, if you ever decide to marry again, I promise I will never interfere. All I ask is that you consider letting your child carry on the Arclayne Group’s legacy.”
I nodded with heartfelt gratitude.
“Dad, Mom, from now on, you are my family.”
That day, every guest present raised their glass in celebration to honor the Arclayne Group’s adoption of a goddaughter and to celebrate the new partnership that would lead the Arclayne family and the Mirelin Family into a promising future. A new chapter began in Javensport and I officially joined the Arclayne Group as vice president.”
My parents–in–law took on the responsibility of caring for the children at home and with the support of my eldest and second brothers and their network of connections, I secured my position in the Arclayne Group in just one month. Then, one day, as had just arrived at the parking lot, Caedric suddenly appeared.”
