Chapter 882


    If Joseph had not caught on to what Arianna said earlier, he now heard herst words clearly and


    became utterly shocked.


    Eloise moved her lips and tried to say something but could not. She knew it was useless to exin.


    "Just now, Ari said, "your son"? Which son was she talking about?" Joseph fixed his stare on her.


    "If I tell you I had given birth to him before I met you, would you still be so angry?" Now that Arianna


    had exposed her secret, Eloise knew she had nothing to hide and sat down calmly.


    "Before we met? Well, Eloise Neville, you''re something else, aren''t you? After so many years, you''ve


    kept your secret so well. What else are you hiding from me? How many other sons and lovers do you


    have? No wonder people say not to marry women from your circle. Oh, Eloise, you truly have amazed


    me. You truly did!"


    As he spoke, he took two unsteady steps back, looking like he had aged more than ten years in a few


    seconds.


    Having been his wife for years, Eloise could not bear to see him like this.


    However, she kept sitting there. "You don''t have to act like this. As I told you, it was before we met.


    Since we got married, I''ve never cheated and have beenpletely loyal to you. But you? You have

    Elizabeth as your mistress for years and even have a son with her. Who are you to judge me?"


    ‘You gave birth to a son with another guy behind my back, and you me me? How much money have


    you stolen for me to raise him, you sl*t?” Joseph lost his temper and used the meanest words he could


    think of to insult Eloise.


    Already numbed, Eloiseughed. “Oh, yeah, I''m a sI*t? Then what are you? You''re nothing but a


    coward. Every time you face a problem, you simply wait for me to solve it. It''s karma that the Tanner


    family ended up in this situation.”


    Joseph lunged forward and gave her a loud and heavy p.


    It was so hard that Eloise fell onto the sofa, her cheek bing swollen in seconds. She did not fight


    back and simplyy there andughed. "Go on, hit me! You can do whatever you like anyway, while I


    can’t even acknowledge my own son and could only meet him secretly. Yes, you''re always right.


    Anything you do is right!”


    "How dare you talk back to me?" Joseph grew even madder because he had often felt sorry for


    mistreating her over the years and even scolded Elizabeth for her sake. He bent over, grasped her hair,


    and pped her repeatedly. “SI*t! You''re a goddamned slI*t!"


    Seeing stars and bleeding from her mouth, Eloise heard nothing but a hum caused by the blows. At this


    juncture, a group of men came in through the front door, spearheaded by Nathaniel.


    Nathaniel noticed what was happening as he looked around, took three steps forward, seized Joseph''s


    hand, and threw him aside.


    Joseph was surprised that he had less strength than the younger man, lurched, and fell to the floor.


    "Why you..." He widened his eyes and looked at Nathaniel, finding him familiar yet strange. "I


    remember now. I saw you with Ari, and then she brought you into thepany. You''re...”


    He saw Nathaniel help Eloise sit on the sofa and check the wounds on her face before getting


    someone to apply a cold towel to her cheek.


    "You''re her bast*rd son!" Suddenly, everything seemed clear to Joseph.


    Nathaniel shot him a frigid nce and let go of Eloise. Then he got to his feet and gave Joseph a hard


    kick. As if that was not enough, he kept kicking the man repeatedly until he rolled over.


    "Who are you to call anyone a bast*rd? Your own son is one! You''re one too, the biggest and worst one


    of all!” Nathaniel kicked and shouted as if venting the resentment and frustration he had suppressed


    over the years.
