Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Leo sat in the car, explaining to Mia, "I guess Andre didn't fill you in on the whole story. That bastard who insulted my mom, his name is Kyle. He's my mom's half-brother from the same father, but he was born out of wedlock.

"Kyle's legit wife gave him only one daughter, all his other kids were from his mistresses. My mom and Kyle were in the same boat. The difference was, Kyle was the only son of the Mastin family, and being the only son, he was accepted into the fam right after he was born. He lived a pretty lavish life, and the Mastins were all banking on him to carry on the family line.

"Kyle has completely inherited his father's bad habits - indulging in food, gambling, soliciting prostitutes - he's involved in everything. He has a volatile temper, and before he was even ten years old, Ellory instigated him to attack my mom, telling him that a man who hits women is a real man.

"My mom's life in their house is like that of livestock. Even household servants receive wages, but my mom, while serving them, has to endure beatings."

At this point, Leo's fists clenched. He watched the two men in the coffee shop, his eyes filled with hatred.

"After my mom got married and went back to the Mastins, they looked down on us, the Cedillos, for not having power or money, so they turned us away. The servants and the butler all said a daughter who is married off is no longer part of the Mastin family. The day she went back to the Mastins, she lost her own family."

Mia asked, "So, why didn't Bruce stand up for Naomi when she was so mistreated?" If it were her in that situation, and her husband knew about her difficult life and the ongoing mistreatment, he would definitely give those people a thorough lesson.

Leo said, "At that time my dad was just a small-time office worker; we didn't have the status we have today. The Mastins even avoided mentioning my dad when they talked about their son-in-law."

Bruce saw all of this, and he took it to heart. He comforted his wife not to be upset, but it ended up being Naomi comforting him, "Bruce, let's just live our own lives. No matter what others say, as long as we're happy, without worries, have enough to eat and wear, and our family is united, we don't need to care about them."

Bruce was a natural talent in politics. In just a few years, he made it into the finance department of Havenbrook and became the director.

Many company collaborations and funding needed his signature.
