Chapter 63
Beatrice sneered. “You wanted to protect your precious son, didn’t you“. Then we will make room for the mistress. The transfer agreement does have our names on it, but don’t forget, if I persuade Mabel not to sign it, the 30% shares in the Barrett Group will still belong to her
Tve raised her all these years at home by myself, and she would never treat me shabbily. And you, you won’t get a single penny.”
Beatrice was indeed right. Il Maybelle refused to sign the agreement, that 20% of the shares would become the inheritance left by her father, and naturally, she would inherit iL
Dale understood from her words that she planned to abandon him and take ithea to join Maybelle.
“Beatrice, do you really want to get things into an impasse Don’t forget.
He would not allow such a thing to happen. this face suddenly darkened, “He
you’re my wife.”
“Well, you remember I’m your wife now?” At the mention of this, Beatrice scoffed disdainfully, “Did you think about me when you were tangleet up with another woman in bed! Did you consider our marriage when you set up a new family with the mistress and promised to leave all your assets to
Your son!”
Dale was left speechless, and after stammering for a while, he threatened with a decided expression, “But don’t forget, we all agreed to bring Mabel back to the Harper family and then find a way to get all her assets. Aren’t you afraid 111 tell Mabel all our plans if you insist on splitting from me? We could all end up losing everything! No one will have a good outcome!
Hearing his words, a hint of panic showed on Beatrice’s face
She didn’t really intend to divorce Dale, which just benefited the mistress and that lule brat. She only said that to intimidate Dale into making a wwith decision, to deal with that little brat at home promptly.
When she was threatened by Dale, she couldn’t help but start to panic. If he really got desperate and spilled everything in front of Mabel, it meant everyone would end up with nothing.
“I didn’t mean that.” She was trying to explain, but was interrupted by Rhea.
Ichea had been peeling a bright red apple from the start. Despite the family’s crisis, she remained calm, appearing far more composed than
Beatrice
She leisurely said to Dale. Tud, don’t blame me for not warning you. You should know why Mabel invited your mistress and son over today, right? Surely you’re not naive enough to think she’s actually supporting them, are you!”
Dale pressed his lips together without a word. He certainly knew Mabel was upset about him having an illegitimate child, which is why she deliberately chose to make a scene. Otherwise, she wouldn’t refuse to return to the Harper family with them, let alone say something like, “If he’s
Rhea knew the hit a sore spot and smiled slightly, continuing. Don’t forget, if Mom persuades Mabel not to sign the agreement, Mabel will be able to confidently inherit the hundreds of billions of dollars left by her father, which is all benefits and no harms for her. In this situation, do you think she’ll choose to believe her pitiful mother or listen to the nonsense from a father who’s been unfaithful for years!”
Dale’s eyes gleamed with hesitation. Every word from Rhea struck right at his heart. He couldn’t help but reassess the pros and cons in his mind. He had a son late in life and did like Owen, bun
was a son really more important than the assets!
Hack when he used Mabel’s card recklessly for company and household expenses, he’d never thought he’d one day have to pay it back. Now, the Harper family’s assess had been squandered. If he couldn’t secure the shares left by Calvin or take over Mabel’s assets, he’d truly be penniless!
If the property and family business are gone, what’s the point of keeping a son!
Anyway, I will have another son in the future. But once the money is gone, everything’s over. Upon thinking about this, Dule immediately made
up his mind.
Over a decade ago, he had already sacrificed his own
own flesh and blood in order to adopt the Barrett family’s daughter
Now, he was merely repeating i
the same mistakes. He thought there was nothing to worry about.
Watching Dale changed from station to determination, the knew she was winning.
Indeed. Dale said through gritted teeth. “I understand. I will now drive this child out of our family and sever all contact with them!”
Upon hearing this, Beatrice was overjoyed, thinking that her precious daughter’s words really did the trick, and watched Rhea in admiration.
Unexpectedly, Rhea merely sneered dismissively after hearing her father’s words, “Drive them away? Is that all!”

Dale was slightly startled, and his tone grew colder. “What else? I’ve already taken back all the money from them, and as long as I drive him away, I can assure you that he and his mother will never disturb us again. Isn’t that enough?”
Rhea smiled and slowly shook her head. Her sweet voice remained the same, yet at this moment, it sounded like the whisper of a demon, “Dad, you should be aware that this child’s existence is also a mistake.”

If it weren’t for that paternity test, Rhea might have been willing to ler Owen go. B inheritance
As long as this illegitimate child was still alive, he would always be a hidden threat to her. Ever since she could remember, she had been constantly fighting with others for things.
She had to fight for a piece of bread, and even for a rotten cabbage. She hated it when others fought with her for things.
She thought she deserved more money and she was entitled to have more love. She wouldn’t allow anyone the chance to take them away.
Whether it was Maybelle or Owen, none of them should get in the way. Otherwise, she would make sure they ended up with death.
