Tessa was so shocked that she was left speechless.

She had no idea that the Jacobson family had such a scandal in their history. She had never even heard a whisper about it. They seemed to have kept it completely

under wraps.

Stephen continued, "Speaking of which, that mistress was probably my dad's true love. But unfortunately, they were never meant to be together.

"My grandma really despised immoral homewreckers. As for my grandpa, he was a man of integrity. There was no way he'd ever allow a mistress to join our family and ruin our reputation.

"In the beginning, my dad had everyone fooled. They all thought he had taken his mistress for an abortion and cut ties with her for good.

"But when I was five or six, my mom discovered the truth and fought with him. At the time, they were on the verge of divorce. It got so bad that both sides of the family had to step in. After all, their marriage wasn't just about the two of them; it was tied to the interests of both the Jameson and Jacobson families.

"In the end, they didn't get divorced. The pressure from both families forced my dad to break things off with his mistress.

"But even then, my mom could never really get past it. When I was a kid, they would fight all the time about that mistress and her son.

"Later, we were told that the mistress had passed away. That's when my dad tried to bring her son back and officially acknowledge him as his own.
