Chapter 1118:

Derek huddled in a corner, tuning out his mother’s complaints and his father’s fury. Lost in his own thoughts, he stared blankly ahead.

How could Marissa, the simple village girl he had grown up with, suddenly be Paul’s biological daughter? He couldn’t have mistaken someone else for her!

Was she another daughter of Paul? Had she known the truth all along? Was that why she had been so unbothered when he confronted her? Derek tugged at his hair, frustrated by the flood of realizations in his mind.

The woman he had once looked down upon and humiliated turned out to be a legendary figure in both the arts and medicine. And she had even been revealed to be the heiress of Paul Group.

All the money Marissa had given him before had been hard-earned. But instead of trusting her, he had let the rumors about her sleeping with men at nightclubs cloud his judgment, convincing himself that was where the money had come from.

Despite all her achievements, she still wanted to marry him. And instead of feeling grateful, he dumped her, repeatedly trying to keep her as a mistress.
