She threatened the Maguire Family to give her an explanation, or she would withdraw all investments and cancel all cooperation.
His father and mother humbly apologized to me. They said Dwayne was just confused for a moment, misjudging people, which was why he was misled by Sienna.
They urged me to give Dwayne another chance for the sake of our child. "You know, your husband isn't a bad person. He's just been too protected by his family since childhood, making him a bit naive."
"For the sake of us, the Maguires, please forgive him this once."
Keeping mistresses and having extramarital affairs was nothing new in our circle. However, someone as shameless and unethical as Dwayne was a first.
His father and mother, Thomas Maguire and Christy Maguire, couldn't afford to lose face.
I couldn't swallow this insult either.
On some points, they were merely nouveau riche. To put it bluntly, I was the one supporting their entire family.
Over the years, I had handled nearly every major and minor matter concerning the household.
The Maguire Family's business, employing over a hundred people, entirely relied on the Ridley Family's financial support.
Whether from the perspective of status, feelings, or interests,
they all didn't want Sienna to replace me as the madam of the Maguire Family.
But no matter how much the Maguire Family tried to persuade me, Dwayne was like a madman, insisting on being with Sienna.
He smashed the furniture in the house, the decorations we bought for our wedding and everything related to us.
He shouted at me in front of the pastor. "You don't understand, you don't understand anything!"
"All you people care about is money, how could you understand the resonance between my soul and Sienna's?"
"Since fate brought us together, I will overcome all difficulties to be with her."
"No age, status, or interests can stop us from loving each other!"
Dwayne became the romantic poet in his own writing. He became Romeo, who was willing to risk everything for love. He regained his lost youth and rediscovered the thrill of his younger days.
He completely forgot about his wife, who had been with him through thick and thin.
In order to express his determination towards Sienna, he moved out of his home.
He bought her a luxurious villa, which he named DnS Residence. And so they lived together openly and legitimately.
The years of hard work and multiple test tubes had already exhausted my body. The successive blows had further worsened my condition.
When I was four months pregnant, I was forced to be hospitalized for bed rest.
My parents were so worried about me that they couldn't eat or sleep. They stood firmly by my side, declaring, no matter the outcome, the Ridleys and the Maguires would be irreconcilable enemies.
That divorce battle back then was incredibly dramatic.
The entire business world was thrown into chaos.
The newly rich clashed with the old-money.
The wife and the mistress tore into each other.
But as the chaos hit its highest point, everything ended in an instant — my parents had a car accident.
The investigator in charge said it was caused by fatigue driving and no one could be held responsible. Yet others whispered to me that Dwayne had deliberately hired a hitman to kill them, all for that bitch, Sienna.
I never knew what the so-called truth was.
The thing I remembered was anger and grief overwhelmed me. Seeing my parents in a coma and seeing Sienna's relentless provocations, I grabbed a knife, intending to take those two scumbags down with me.
But I couldn't even get inside the Maguire Family's house.
Thomas and Christy, who had been begging me to forgive their son just a while ago, had now completely changed their tune. They took Susan's hand and slipped their family heirloom jade bracelet onto her wrist.
