Chapter 5 I'd known about Owen Pierce's affair for a long time . After weathering so many storms together , it's an eternal truth that people's hearts change . Divorce was secondary - the property division was what really mattered . The divorce papers he hadn't even bothered to look at all demanded he walk away with nothing . As the company's second - largest shareholder who'd fought alongside him to get where we were , my contributions were no less than his . And everything I'd earned was naturally going to my son . Same with his share . That's why I reacted so strongly to Ivy Wells ' pregnancy . Even illegitimate children have inheritance rights . Some mistress's kid thinking it could compete with my son ? If Owen thought I'd just let him walk all over me because I stepped back for our son's sake , he was being naive . Out of consideration for our son , I'd given him dignity . But if he thought he could just throw some money at me and be done with it , then I wouldn't hold back either . " Call Mr. Gross and Mr. White . Tell them I'd like to meet for coffee . " I gave the order casually . Mason let me hold his hand as we walked . " Is Daddy not wanting us anymore ? " He was just a child after all - seeing his father leave with someone else still hurt . I crouched down to wipe his tears . " We're the ones who don't want him anymore . " " Mason , everything that belongs to you , Mommy won't let anyone else have . No one . " I didn't sign the divorce papers , and Owen didn't seem to care . Maybe he thought I had no choice but to accept my fate . He was busy planning his wedding with Ivy . I heard Ivy was the one pushing for it - she wanted to feel secure . Ivy somehow got hold of my phone number and called to gloat , " The position of Mrs. Pierce that you're so proud of will be mine soon . I suggest you sign those papers quickly . Fighting a losing battle is pointless . " She even sent me photos of the wedding preparations . It was night and day compared to when Owen and I got married - we didn't even have a proper wedding or decent rings .

I didn't like seeing people get too cocky , so I crashed Owen Pierce and Ivy Wells ' wedding . " You really can't let go . " Owen slipped the ring onto Ivy's finger . " You bear full responsibility for us getting to the point of divorce . " He blamed the affair on me . Like a madwoman , I slapped him , and before he could react , I slapped Ivy too . " Get this lunatic out of ... " Owen's voice cut off abruptly . I was crying . Ever since I was almost assaulted all those years ago , no matter what I faced , I'd never cried again . " Owen Pierce , I'm the one who fought alongside you for decades . I'm the one who suffered through all the hardships with you . How , how can you treat me like this ? " " You're abandoning me for this mistress , and you don't even want your son anymore ? " Owen's face seemed to soften . But Ivy pulled him back . She laughed brazenly . " When you're old and worn out , you need to step aside . " " Between me and you , Owen will always choose me . " " He owes me this . " She was triumphant , kissing Owen right in front of me . The two of them kissed passionately . " Mr. Pierce , are you marrying your mistress right now ? " " Mr. Pierce , do you know you're breaking the law ? " " Mr. Pierce , what made you cheat and abandon the wife who stood by you for years ? " " Mr. Pierce ... " A crowd of reporters with equipment frantically photographed the couple locked in their passionate kiss . Question after question left Owen dizzy . All I had to do was cry , and have my son call out " Daddy " a few times - that was enough . Chapter 6 Chapter 6
