Chapter 16
Back then, Dad and Tessa were university classmates and dated during that time.”
After graduation, they had to part ways because they worked in different cities, but they stayed in touch. After they broke up, Dad started working at my mother’s company, and that’s how he met her.”
Mom quickly fell for Dad and boldly pursued him countless times, but my father never refused her advances.
The truth was, Dad needed money.M
His own mother was seriously ill, and he was broke.
My mother’s father said he would only lend Dad money if they got married.]
So my father was forced into a relationship with Mom.
When Tessa found out he was married, she went crazy and came running back to him.”
They still loved each other, but circumstances forced them apart.
After hearing Dad’s story, Tessa said she understood and was willing to stay by his side forever.}
So Dad found an opportunity to bring Tessa close to him again.
I couldn’t listen any longer and interrupted him.
“But your affair during marriage was real, wasn’t it? And you actually blame my mother for breaking you two apart?“}
“If you really didn’t love Mom, then why did you marry her? Just for money?“}
“You could have rejected Mom. I don’t believe she forced you into marriage without reason.“}
“Honestly, you just couldn’t let go of the money and couldn’t let go of your old flame.”
My words stunned everyone present. “Mom pursuing you was understandable, but the fault lies with you.”
My mother once shared with me how she and Dad got together.
In her story, my father was a responsible man who worked three jobs a day to support his seriously ill mother.}
Mom wanted to give him money at first, but he refused to take it.0
She grew to admire a man like him, and Dad said he was moved by her passion.
In the end, they got married.}
I shook my head in disappointment at Dad–I almost believed his lies again.
Rosalie and Tessa’s previously indignant expressions faltered.
In their minds, my father’s story sounded just like what I said.
If it weren’t for Mom’s family pressuring him, how could he have given up Tessa and ended up After hearing my words, they fell into deep thoughts.
with my
mother?}
“Rosalie, you envy my life. But have you ever thought about this–the wealthy one was never Dad, it was my mother. Even if Dad acknowledges you, what does that matter? I am my mother’s daughter, you’re not.”
“What will you gain once they divorce?“}
Dad’s face turned pale. “Alicia, what do you mean? Your mother… wants to divorce me?”
“What else? Your good daughter just said you’re the real family. So, of course, Mom and I have to leave. And I suppose Webber Corporation will need a new name too?“}}
He panicked, realizing he could lose everything, and suddenly started talking nicely to me.“]
“Alicia, Dad was wrong. If you don’t like Tessa and Rosalie, I’ll make sure they both leave and never appear in front of you again. Your mother’s health isn’t good right now, so don’t bother her with these things.”
Dad feared Mom would divorce him–after all, most of Webber Corporation’s assets were actually in her name.§
But Mom wasn’t interested in money; she preferred to enjoy life as a wealthy housewife, which is why she let Dad handle the company. Seeing my father’s change of expression, Rosalie was heartbroken.
She ran to Dad and grabbed the edge of his shirt.
“Dad… you didn’t say this before. You promised you would accept us back…“M
“Shut up!”
