Chapter 69

Melissa’s slap struck with the force of years of resentment, shattering Charles’s fragile health in an instant.

He crumpled to the ground, his body trembling uncontrollably, as though the very breath of death hovered around him.

In that moment, Charles couldn’t help but think of all the countless bowls of medicine he’d swallowed over the years. All of it, completely in vain.

Melissa stood over him, her eyes void of warmth, filled only with disgust and indifference.

“Charles. I gave you life. When I gave birth to you, the pain was far worse than anything you’re feeling now. Even if we signed that severance agreement. I’m still your mother because the blood flowing in your veins is mine.”

Charles felt a chill wash over him, his eyes vacant, staring at Melissa’s face. The tears in his eyes blurred his vision, the moisture dampening his lashes as his gaze dropped downward.

His pale lips quivered slightly, but the words wouldn’t come. He could only hear the sound of a child’s heart–wrenching sobs. He turned his head slightly, seeing Yvonne standing beside Melissa, trying to shield him from her approach.

Melissa, growing impatient, shoved Yvonne aside with ease.

Tell Kelvin when he gets back. If he dares marry that home–wrecker and bring this bastard into the Adler family, don’t blame me for making a scene

Although Melissa had remarried, she couldn’t stand the thought of Kelvin having anyone else after she left him. She didn’t love him, but her possessiveness was fierce.

Charles didn’t understand this kind of mentality, but in that moment, he refused to bow to her will.

He opened his mouth, his voice barely a whisper.

Melissa leaned in, her brow furrowing as she tried to make sense of his words.

“It’s impossible. My dad really likes her. He’ll bring her into the Adler family…”

With every word Charles spoke, Melissa’s anger flared higher, her fury barely contained. It was obvious to her what he was doing

“You’re doing this on purpose, siding with this bastard just to defy me,” she hissed, her voice low and venomous, just like the cold expression she wore before slapping Charles.

Yvonne, having gotten back to her feet, rushed over upon hearing Charles’s words. She reached him just in time to hear his
