However, Rufus did not know that Jacinta was pregnant back then.

That was because he was utterly disgusted by how Jacinta’s parents had drugged him to have sex with their daughter just because he owed them a favor.

The moment he managed to contact the Fairchild family, he quickly gave the Sumner family a sum of money and fled the village without looking back.

By the time he found out he had another child out there, the child was already more than a year old.

That time, Jacinta’s father, Cesare Sumner, had already married her off to a rich, older man who was from the area.

Initially, even Jacinta was not sure if the child belonged to Rufus or the old man she married after that.

It was not until she brought the child to the hospital one day for a checkup, which required a blood test, that Jacinta and her family discovered the child did not belong to her current husband.

From that day onward, she was treated horribly. Physical assault, verbal abuse, and domestic violence were a common occurrence.

Her husband even sent her one-year-old child back to her parents’ house.

Jacinta wanted to flee from her abusive husband so badly, but the latter would not let her go.

Back then, she had pinned all her hopes on her son. Never did she expect Cesare, who was addicted to gambling, to gamble away all the family’s assets. At his wits’ end, he brought the child to the Fairchild family in hopes of using the child to blackmail Rufus for a sum of money.

Rufus did not expect Cesare to have the guts to seek him. He even thought the child was a random stranger the latter had brought to make it sound more convincing.

Yet, the paternity test had proven that the child was his.

Rufus hated Cesare to the bone and was utterly disgusted by him. Not only did Rufus not give Cesare a single cent, but he also forced the child to stay at the Fairchild residence.

Although Rufus hated the child’s existence, he did not want his own flesh and blood to be brought up by such a despicable person.

And that child was Rufus’ second son, Xavier’s uncle, Stuart Fairchild.

When Cesare was chased out of the Fairchild residence, he did not give up and continued pestering them. Still, he was not a match for the Fairchilds.

Being the lazy and penniless person he was, he ended up roaming and begging on the streets for more than a month before returning home.

Upon arriving home, he was cornered by the creditors. As he tried to escape in the middle of night, he accidentally fell into a pond and drowned to death.

From that day on, his wife, Camille Pennington, became the creditors’ target. Unfortunately, Cesare had spent all her hard-earned money long ago. There was no way she could pay off the debt.

Unable to handle the situation, Camille hung herself in her own home a few days later.

With no news of her biological child, the death of her parents, and the terrible abuse she had to endure every day, Jacinta eventually lost her mind and became mentally ill.

When Cesare’s creditors failed to find him, they went straight to Jacinta and demanded she paid the debts on his behalf.

Seeing that she had lost her mind and her family was deep in debt, Jacinta’s husband decided to chase her away.

Jacinta refused to leave and hid in the woodshed. But to her horror, her heartless husband actually set the building on fire.

The fire that day was strong. If it was not for the sudden rain, Jacinta would have died in the fire.

Just like that, she survived the incident. After roaming the town like a madwoman for over a month, she was finally taken home by her distant aunt.
