When Love Turns to Ashes

Chapter 214 It Was All Fake

Jessie was pushed by Caden and fell back onto the cold, hard ground.

She had always been good at dealing with people, even though she didn't have much real power in the Baldwin family. However, as Mrs. Jessie Baldwin, she had a lot of supporters. But now, she sat on the ground, with people around her watching coldly. Even her husband turned around to protect the mother and daughter beside him. Only Oscar stood by her, glaring angrily at Bruce. "Dad! Did mom say something wrong? If it weren't for her seducing you, how could you possibly abandon your wife and child? You are the eldest son of the Baldwin family, the heir of the Baldwin Group, with a bright future ahead!" After Bruce made sure that the mother and daughter behind him were fine, he reluctantly looked at Oscar and said, "Now that everything has happened, do you still think your mother was right?"

Oscar was taken aback and felt a bit at a loss.

Jessie grabbed his clothes and urged, "Don't listen to him, he has been bewitched by those two vixens. Otherwise, why would he abandon us, a mother and child with no one to rely on? If it weren't for him, how could have ended

up like this?"

Tears welled up in her eyes, and Oscar's face contorted even more.

Because of the pain in certain parts, it made him restless, especially under the gaze of so many people.

It seemed as if every pair of eyes was staring at that spot, making his anger even greater. "That's enough, what right do you have to talk about my mother? It was you who cheated first! You took away everything from our family, causing us, mother and son, to be looked down upon in this house for many years!"

The woman standing behind Bruce walked out and first nodded gratefully towards Beatrice, then confidently approached.

"He did not cheat on me. When we met, he was penniless and covered in bruises. If he had money, we wouldn't have had to work so hard for all these years. And if he had cheated on me earlier, we wouldn't have had to wait so many years to get married." "It is crystal clear to anyone who checks, plain as day."

Oscar retorted coldly, "Perhaps you were just trying to transfer your assets! It's been so many years since you got married."

"What property?" Bruce looked at Oscar angrily, "The only thing I regret is you. I didn't take a

Even these relatives, aren't they all whispering and pointing fingers behind our backs?" Oscar retorted loudly.

Bruce was taken aback and turned his head to look at Jessie.

Beatrice looked over and noticed Jessie's lips quiver, and a hint of guilt appeared on her pale face. Their words were clearly contradictory.
