Chapter 23

 Max was stunned in ce.

 Ddespite the discord between the couple for wenty years, Matilda had always maintained Ewan’s dignity in front of others. Yet now, she called him a fool in thepany, in front of the subordinates.

 Everyone knew she was demoted and in a bad mood, but now, she was utterly explosive, her expression terrifying,

 She had no time to wait for Ewan, quickly grabbing her keys and phone and driving to the school

 —–

 When her burgundy Bentley pulled up at the school gate, a figure dashed out from behind a trash can.

 Matilda mmed on the brakes, nearly crashing into the curb.

 Upon closer inspection, Matilda realized in fear that the “street urchin was her daughter.

 With a loud bang, the car door opened, and Helen climbed in, bringing with her a stench of garbage. “Mom, what took you so long?”

 She threw herself onto Matilda, sobbing as she cursed. “They bullied met You have to make them delete the video, teach them a lesson. What am I supposed to do now! Hear do 1 face those people! Lea even said that she’s going to score full marks today, get the top score, and the fact that she took my exam will also be exposed!”

 “Sorry, I got held up at work and camete. The thought of Helen being bullied to such an extent shattered Matilda’s heart. She assured, “I will definitely handle this well and ensure you return with glory”

 “How Didn’t you say you wanted Lea dead! Why is she still alive? Only ther death can make me feel bener.” Helen queuloned

 “That little bitch!” Matilda’s eyes zed with malice. “She’s quite good at hiding

 The night Lea ran away, they deployed professional personnel but still couldn’t find her.

 She was now staying with Christian, which made it difficult to make a move, especially since she was so cautious Matilda’s men hadn’t found an opportunity these past few days,

 “Mom. did she get you demoted?” Helen still couldn’t believe it. Her mother was omnipotent, and Lea was just a little girl who never dared to resist their bully.

 Matilda’s face twisted in anger when she heard this.

 Thepany’s stock price had risen so much. What she transferred to Lea was now worth over 800 million dors! Manda’s heart was bleeding,

 “Helen, rest assured. Lea won’t crow over for long. She will repay us with her life. Now, go back and rest. In a few days, I’ll make sure you retum in style. Marida sneered in confidence.

 “Okay” Helen finally calmed down. “Mom, I don’t want to go to the hospital. With the

 the video our, only home is safe. I want to go home”

 “Alright.” Matilda drove Helen home, and as soon as the car started moving, the phone rang.

 “Madam, we’ve found Mr. Berry came the voice of Max.N?velDrama.Org is the owner.

 “Where is he?” Matilda questioned in a hurry.

 “A vi in the suburbs, Max replied with some hesitation.

 “What?” Matilda was thunderstruck to hear the news. She knew her husband had kept a woman there half a year ago. But three months ago, he told her he had taken care of it. She didn’t expect him to go there again. “Send me the photos,” she roared.

 “Madam, you’d better not. Max tried to dissuade her.

 “Now!” Matildamanded sternly.

 Soon, a photo arrived on her phone.

 There was Ewan, embracing a woman, both nearly undressed, the woman heavily pregnant, the child appearing to be five or six months along.

 Shepletely lost it at the sight of the photo. “Good for you, Ewan! How dare you dare treat me like this! I’ll make you regret it“

 Helen was also struck by the photo, feeling as if being struck by a thunderbolt. “Mom, is this. Dad?” she stammered.

 “He’s not your dad. He’s not worthy! He’s a schim, waste “Matilda cursed.

 With

 Helen going through such a situation, Matilda was busy and overwhelmed, yet Ewan was nowhere to be found, indifferent and absent, Although he was just a figurehead at thepany, he was the executive president. When Mati got demoted, she was nning to shift the power imo his hands.

 Controlling a useless man like Ewan was a piece of cake for her. Only by doing so could she continue to control the Berry Group. After much difficulty, she found him, only to discover he kept a woman outside and even had a child.

 “Mom, you must not let that woman give birth to his child. I don’t want anyone else to share the Berry family’s inheritance; it’s all miner Helen said through gritted teeth.

 “I know, and I won’t allow it, Matilda swore indignantly.

 With Matilda’s assurance, Helen finally calmed down.

 Matilda took a deep breath,posed herself, andmanded over the phone, “Bring him back to thepany first.” She would hand over the power first

 “Yes, madam, Max answered

 Sunlight streamed in the luxurious and warm suburban vi.

 Janice, wearing a pink slip dress, was nimble despite herrge belly, tying a tie for Ewan. “That old bitch is too much, ordering you around like that. After all, you are the president of Berry Group, the only son of the Berry family”

 “I’ve been here with you for so long, I should go back. You need to rest inure for our son With that, Ewan kissed her belly

 “Ouch! He kicked met He’s trying to respond.” Janice eximed in surprise.

 “Little brat Ewan happily parted her belly, and the baby inside moved twice more, making him burst into </bughter.

 Janice’s eyes flickered with a profound meaning as she pouted. “Your situation at thepany now is all because of that old woman. If she could give you a son, a true heir to the Berry family, Christian would have granted you real power long ago, and you wouldn’t be so stifled at thepany.

 “Instead, she gave birth to a daughter and raised her so poorly as to fuck with a non at Christian’s birthday party, disgraced the Berry family, and who knows what else she might do to disgrace the family in the future. But it’s all worked out now You finally have a son.”

 She had checked the baby’s gender at a private hospital when she was less than four months pregnant.

 “Once the child is born, Christian will surely be very pleased Janice was brimming with confidence, believing that Christian would love his grandson

 Ewan was never valued by Christian, and in recent years, he hadn’t even been looked at properly. He was self–abased and arrogant. Frequently reminded by Janice, he came to see it as a valid reason.

 “When the Berry family has the next generation of heirs, and Christian starts to value you, let’s see if that old woman sull dares to show you any attitude.”

 “Ewan, will you divorce her and marry me, and let our son return to the Berry family with a legitimate status at that time?” Janice wrapped her arms around his neck, her eyes slightly reddened, pleading earnestly.

 “Of course! I’ve long had enough of that old woman” Ewan was determined; his marriage to Matilda was a farrily alliance; he never loved her. It was their elders who forced them into this union for family interests.

 Matilda, though capable, was extremely controlling, greedy, and ruthless in her methods, wielding considerable power within both the Fraley and Berry families.

 Outwardly, he was her husband, but in reality, he was poding more than a stray dog in her presence.

 What he wanted was a wife, a woman. If given real power and the choice, he would naturally opt for the understanding woman before him.
