"Where's your biological mother?"
Silas curled his lips, with a look of understanding.
"Ms. Sterling, my mother is abroad and won't be back for the time being. I don't want to make you sad."
I squinted at the young man dressed in trendy brands. After twenty years in the business world, it's not that I can't see the mockery in his eyes, but if his mother comes back, I'll be jealous, noisy and sad.
He raised his chin slightly and looked at me with disdain.
"Ms. Sterling, you are old, so stop arguing about love. It's embarrassing to talk about it at your age."
A bastard, this is taking advantage of me, all so arrogant.
I sneered.
"Then your biological mother is not capable of making you rich and powerful, and making you recognize me as your mother. Isn't it embarrassing to tell others about it?"
Frederick looked unhappy, but he didn't lose his temper yet. Silas slammed the table.
"Audrey Sterling!"
The soup splashed on my face and I looked at them calmly.
Frederick said dissatisfiedly,
"Audrey, how can you say that about Luna? She gave up her career and raised two children at home. She has suffered a lot. How can you humiliate her in front of the children?"
Sienna stood up in a Chanel suit and looked at me with a haughty expression.
"What's the point of arguing? Although my mother doesn't make money, she has my father's love, and she still has us. When we get the company, she will have everything."
"If anyone dares to disrespect my mother, my brother and I don't mind breaking your legs."
I looked at the indignant expressions of the two children. Now the illegitimate child has become so arrogant. Frederick is really amazing.
Frederick hurriedly persuaded the two children not to be impulsive, and patiently explained to me,
"Audrey, you see now, the two children are indeed filial children. If you love them like a mother in the future, they will naturally protect you as they would their own mother."
"Luna had a hard time too. We were both drunk and had a child by accident. I wanted to abort the child, but she persuaded me to stop. She promised that it would not affect my marriage to you and that she would raise the child herself."
"Audrey, you should also understand Luna. She is just soft-hearted and can't bear to hurt two innocent lives. Without her, Silas and Sienna wouldn't even have the chance to be born..."
Frederick's eyes turned red and he choked up as he spoke.
Listening to his rebellious words, my heart was about to explode. I asked one last question without giving up.
"What do you want?"
Frederick mumbled for a long time, making a mosquito-like sound.
"Luna has also been abroad for more than 20 years, and the two children are used to living with her. I want to give her the villa in the suburbs. I will go there to accompany them on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and come back to accompany you on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. I will do whatever I feel like on Sundays."
I clenched my fists tightly, no longer holding on to the last glimmer of hope.
"Since you want your family to be together, let's get a divorce.
Frederick's face changed.
"Audrey, I told you it was just an accident. I still love you. We have been married for twenty years. Are you really willing to divorce me?"
I interrupted him, spraying every word in his face.
"Frederick, you want to be president? You are so shameless!"
Over the years, he has used my money to support his mistress and illegitimate child, and now he wants to have another family outside of his own, and let me continue to be his scapegoat.
The two illegitimate sons looked at me with disdain and contempt, but I am not blind. I don’t know how many years they have been laughing at me behind my back.
I was thinking that if it was really an accident, I could just give it some money and get rid of it.
After all, it was me who fell in love with Frederick and had loved him for twenty years. Even though I was in pain, I was willing to give him a chance.
