Chapter 7 Benjamin suddenly looked up , frantically shaking his head before dropping to his knees : " I was wrong , Rachel . I've divorced Kim . We'll get married as soon as we go back , okay ? Please ... don't leave ! You're carrying our child ! " I stared at the man with icy contempt : " Who said the child in my belly is ... " Before I could finish , a large hand gently pulled me into an embrace . My eyes lifted , tension melting instantly . Willie glanced down , eyebrow arched at the kneeling Benjamin : " Who claimed my wife's child is yours ? " I watched Benjamin's expression fracture . His face turned ghostly pale , voice trembling uncontrollably as he stammered : " God ... Godfather ? " Willie didn't acknowledge him immediately . Instead , he handed me his ice cream , affection warming his gaze : " Can't overindulge , my dear . " I huffed , naturally accepting the treat while chiding : " It's not me craving it -the baby inside is . " We bantered with effortless intimacy . Chapter 7 Benjamin remained frozen on his knees , disbelief etching his features . Finally , Willie cast him an indifferent look , lips curving slightly : 253 euchers " If you're here to congratulate your godfather on marriage and fatherhood , save it . First , kowtow to your godmother . " Godmother ... The word stabbed Benjamin's heart . Thoughts of the Mitchell legacy , even his godfather , evaporated - replaced by white - hot fury :: He'd take Rachel back ! How dare she marry another ! In a flash , he lunged at Willie . They crashed to the ground , fists flying . But Benjamin , softened by privilege , was no match for Willie's battle- hardened strength . Willie pinned his head , delivering brutal punches . First blow , voice glacial : " This fist teaches fatherhood! Gifting your own child as a flirtation prop ? You're no father! " Second blow : " This fist teaches husbandry ! Deceiving her love ? Making Rachel endure child - loss agony daily ? You're no husband ! " Final blow , Willie channeled full force . 08.48 67 Chapter 7 Cold declaration : " Last fist teaches knowing your place . Kneel . Call her godmother . " Willie slammed Benjamin's forehead against concrete . Bloodied and dazed , Benjamin choked out : " God ... godmother ... " I answered with sweet satisfaction , Hand resting on my rounded belly as I eyed him disdainfully : " Let's go home . This filth is scaring the baby . " Willie instantly released him , wiping his hands before encircling me tenderly : " Go home . " Benjamin could only kneel in ruin , desperately reaching for me as he howled : " I was wrong ! Truly wrong- ! " The breeze carried no reply . Someone captured Benjamin's disgraceful park scene in Washington , spreading it online . Paired with Kim's earlier exposés , Public fury toward Benjamin ignited - boycotts against Mitchell goods erupted nationwide . 288 VogoNeys The the Mitchell family's stock plummeted within days . Carol Mitchell 08.48 Chapter 7 288 Vswichert was frantic with worry , tearfully urging Benjamin to beg Willie for help . Benjamin's eyes were hollow as he stubbornly shook his head : " I'd rather die than ask him ... ' Meanwhile , fresh after childbirth , Willie strode into the shareholders ' meeting holding our baby and declared without hesitation : " This is the next heir . Mine and Rachel's child . " The shareholders gasped . They'd believed Willie had no heir , never imagining he'd quietly fathered a child . My eyes curved into crescents as I watched Willie . He took my hand and asked : " What about the Mitchells ... and those ten children you bore earlier ? " Willie hmphed coldly : " Bankrupt them . Agreed ? " I lowered my gaze , formulating a plan before shaking my head : " That's too merciful ... Let's make the Mitchells wholly dependent on us instead . As for my ten children ... " I lifted my eyes , studying Willie uncertainly . " Would you mind ? " Willie pulled me tightly against him , his voice gravelly : " Your children are mine . Bring them home . Everything else ... we'll handle as you wish . " I laughed and kissed Willie , our arms wrapped around each other in 08-4813 Chapter 7 joyful chaos ... When the ten children came home , Willie treated them equally . He'd gather all eleven kids upon returning , kissing each forehead in turn . As for Benjamin ... I didn't bankrupt the Mitchells . Instead , I had Willie assign him the cheapest production projects . Previously , the Mitchells maintained minor independence . 280 Vouchers Now they relied on us for everything . Every year , Carol would bring Benjamin from New York to Washington , where they bowed respectfully before me . Benjamin's eyes reddened as he watched my ten children playing with Willie . Swallowing his pride , he forced out the words : " Hello , Godmother . "
