Mona’s heart sank, and her eyes started to water.

Master Fontaine hid it well. He was terribly ill, yet no one knew about it.

He tapped Mona’s hand and gave her a smile. “Today is an important day. All the extended families and affiliates are influential figures, and some of them are the company’s working partners. So try to behave, okay?”

Master Fontaine’s smile had a deep meaning to it. His words also reminded Mona to not cause any trouble on this important occasion.

Mona snorted and got up. She put her sorrow away and replaced it with a blank look.

She empathized with Master Fontaine. If he did not want to say, she would help him keep a secret. Fortunately, judging from the pulse reading, it was bad. However, even though Master Fontaine dragged it out, it was not irreversible.

She sighed. She turned around and saw Thaddeus talking to a handsome young man in formal attire. She sized up the man carefully, feeling a sense of familiarity. Although it was her first time seein

    Thaddeus, Raymond, and Alex were known as the Worchester Trinity among the four great families. They grew up together and only parted ways when they decided to study abroad after high school. Unlike playboys from most wealthy families, the three shouldered the duty of expanding the family business. While all three of them shared the same ideals, they also viewed each other as rivals. Many years later, all three men managed to gain a certain level of success in their respective fields. They were talented men who respected each other. Thaddeus scoffed. “Raymond has been sulking since he came back from South Georgia. He must have done something bad there.” Alex raised a brow. “South Georgia? How strange. I thought he said he would never set foot there again for the rest of his life.” “You will know when you visit him at his house. Blindly guessing won’t get you answers.” Alex stroked his chin and nodded. “I suppose so. I bet it’s related to women.” While they were chatting,

    Mona’s heart sank. She felt like a hand just pushed her closer to the cliff. One more step, and she would fall to her demise. A dash of nervousness appeared on her face before she suppressed her emotions and calmed herself down. She saw Thaddeus’ frosty look. It was only a moment ago that he was looking affectionately at her. Now, he was like a complete stranger to her. Thaddeus walked over to his mother and turned around to Mona. “Mother is right. According to family rules, you should kneel.” His words froze Mona’s heart completely and tossed her into the abyss. She clenched her fists and stared grudgingly at the man she barely recognized. She then curled her lips into a frosty grin and said strongly, “No!” Thaddeus was expressionless. He said, “Don’t forget your father is still in the hospital fighting for his life.” Mona’s pupils shrank in fear as she looked at Thaddeus. What happened back in the hospital, coupled with his frosty attitude, rendered her speechless.

    “I’ll kneel!” Two seconds of hesitation later, she turned and knelt before the memorial tablets. For her father, she decided to compromise. However, the moment her knees touched the ground, her heart was dead. She swore never to let anyone insult or bully her ever again. After the ceremony, Mona got on her feet and stood at the side blankly. She did not look at Thaddeus or Jennifer. Chatters sounded among the guests and grew louder by the second. However, Mona only stood there like a monolith, lifeless and bleak. Thaddeus did not look normal, either. His face was expressionless as he stood beside Mona, not saying a word. His phone in his pocket suddenly buzzed. He pulled it out for a glance and saw it was the hospital. He sighed as he listened to the doctor updating him about Oliver’s condition. He then passed the phone to Mona. “It’s from the hospital.” Mona put the phone near her ear. The doctor said heavily, “I’m sorry, but the patient did not make it.” Her jaw

    “Are you out of your mind?” Alex shoved Thaddeus’ shoulders. “If you are going to start a scene here, stop. Don’t interfere with her decision.” Alex was not afraid of Thaddeus’ warning. He had seen Thaddeus’ crazy side before. Aside from being mad, he sympathized with the man but could not do anything to change it, so it did not matter. He turned around and saw Mona’s pale face and somewhat felt bad for her. She resembled his sister and reminded him of her, so he had the urge to protect her. “Let’s go to the hospital.” Mona nodded gratefully at Alex before leaving with him. “Mona, stop right there!” Thaddeus’ thunderous shout echoed from behind, but Mona turned a deaf ear to him. With her father gone, other than her kids, no one could threaten her any more. “Oh no! Bobby! Help!” A servant ran over from the garden, looking anxious. “Bobby fell into the pond! Someone help him!” As soon as Mona heard the servant, her vision went dark and her head started spinning. She coll

    The man’s eyes flickered. He grabbed Mona’s wrist and dragged her upstairs. “Go to sleep.” “No!” Mona shook his hand off and stood firm. “I want an explanation.” “Then, you will have to wait for the kids to wake up.” Mona insisted. “No. Pull up the surveillance footage. Right now.” Thaddeus turned around and looked at her, feeling helpless. He held her hand and said, “Stop causing a scene.” While they were confronting each other, they were not aware of Jennifer striding over with a ferocious look. She grabbed Mona’s hair fiercely and shouted at her, “You b*tch! You are the daughter of that b*tch that stole my husband! Now, you are here to steal my son away?!” Pulled backward, Mona staggered and almost fell to the floor. Thaddeus stretched his hand out and pulled her back into his chest. He looked at his mother and bellowed, “Mother, Oliver Mayers and Miranda Flocken are dead! It’s time for you to forget about the past!” Jennifer looked at Thaddeus disappointedly. “T

    Mona went upstairs to check on Bobby in his room. Inside the cozy children’s room, Bobby curled up his tiny body under the blanket, seeming to be having difficulty sleeping. He stretched his hand outside the blanket and tried to take off the antipyretic patch from his forehead. Mona sat beside him and held this tiny hand. She looked at his reddish face and somehow teared up. If she could not even take good care of her own son, she was not qualified to be a mother. She blamed herself for what happened and felt guilty for not being able to protect him. She swore inwardly that she would find out the truth about Bobby falling into the pond and clear his name. She wanted the Fontaines to know that she and her children were not subjects that they could bully. Meanwhile, in the study, the lights were turned off. Anna was doing hypnotherapy on Thaddeus while the other two watched with heavy and concerned expressions. The people who knew Thaddeus’ secret had all gathered in this r

    Alex looked into Mona’s calm eyes. He took a deep breath and said, “What I am about to say might be difficult for you to accept, so please be prepared for it, at least mentally.”Mona smiled. “Mr. Ortega, you don’t seem like a person who nags, so what’s up? What else can’t I accept given that I have been through so much?” Alex took a slight pause before he continued, “Thaddeus’ split personality is acting up again. His main personality has awakened, and that was why he was behaving strangely at the ancestral ceremony.” Mona pondered his words for a few seconds but got more confused. She looked at Alex and waited for a further explanation.“Thaddeus was diagnosed with split personality when he was ten. The man who has spent years with you is his second personality, which is the culmination of his emotional and sentimental side. It is also his irrational side. Now that his main personality has awakened, the second personality has gone dormant. The two personalities cannot co-exist,

    Mona smiled and nodded at Alex gratefully. “Thank you, Mr. Ortega. But you don’t have to worry about me. It’s just that this is a lot to digest and it’s too sudden. I need some time.” Alex looked somewhat surprised. “You don’t seem sad at all.” Mona smiled in silence before she headed to the bedroom. She was exhausted and there were a lot of things waiting for her tomorrow. All she wanted to do was have a good rest. Alex watched her disappear from his sight and fell into deep thoughts. Back in the study, Anna had just completed the hypnotherapy for Thaddeus. “Mr. Fontaine, what did you see in your dream?” Thaddeus got up, stretched his neck, and waved at Anna. Confused, Anna furrowed her brows. No? No dream? She clearly sensed that Thaddeus had a dream during the hypnotherapy, yet he claimed he did not have one. She did not ask why but wisely stepped out of the room instead. Thaddeus loosened his necktie. He grabbed the glass of water from the table and drained it

    The couple was tired after a time of bonding, and they lay on the wicker chair, closing their eyes before slipping into dreamland. Sometime later, Thaddeus felt a chill and opened his eyes. His T-shirt was wet, and Bobby and Millie were spraying water at him with water guns. The youngest child was nearby too in her stroller. She suckled on a pacifier and watched the bustle. “Where’s your mommy?” Thaddeus shuffled his hair and looked around, searching for Mona. “Freeze, Daddy. We have held Mommy captive. Surrender yourself to us.” Acting like the boss, Millie pointed her massive water gun at her daddy. Thaddeus had indulged his eldest daughter so much that the girl would only have things her way. Nevertheless, Thaddeus played along since it was only a game. He knew his children well. Millie took after Mona and was shrewd. Still, Millie would be on her best behavior when in public. “Hurry up and surrender, Daddy. Put your hands up, and we will release Mommy.” Millie poked

    It was a cooling breeze for the Summer as flowers bloomed in the garden of Fontaine Residence. Mona rested on a wicker chair under the wine arbor, holding in hand the latest issue of the weekly design magazine, with her face on the cover. In the photo, she held a trophy up on the stage of a design competition, standing out amidst the radiant background. Since the birth of her youngest, Mona took a month off for rest before picking up her passion again and returning to the world of design. Recently, she won first place in an international design competition and found fame. Mona was happy with her life and enjoyed the rich and peaceful state of things. She had time to herself for once during the weekend, so she found a quiet spot to enjoy time alone while the kids had a nap. The sunlight shone over Mona through the leaves, basking her in warmth. She let out a yawn and closed her eyes for a nap. Thaddeus walked out of the house and saw the woman enjoying the moment of bliss. The t

    “Mommy, did the baby kick you today?” Millie wobbled her way over and placed her hand on Mona’s belly. She could feel the baby stirring inside her mommy’s stomach. Millie was pleasantly surprised. “The baby kicked me! Mommy, is the baby swimming inside your belly?” “Yeah. The baby is kicking.” Mona affectionately caressed her belly. The fetus had been kicking and rolling a lot more lately, so she could not get much sleep. The tall and strong man drew near and looked tenderly at Mona. His husky voice lingered in Mona’s ear. “Weren’t you craving strawberries? I placed an order, and the fruit is being airlifted here as we speak. It’ll arrive tonight.” “Yay.” Mona was gleeful. Since the beginning of her pregnancy, she had become quite fussy and craved the strangest food. She wanted caviar from Japan, cookies from France, and strawberries from the highlands. Anything she asked for would be transported fresh to the house the next day.The man had taken good care of her during her en

    “No. I won’t let myself go.” The man huffed heavily after finishing his sit-ups. Then, he rolled out of bed and got changed in the walk-in closet. Mona stared at the man’s well-toned back, gasping at his body upkeep. People would probably have a hard time believing he was a father of three. With that in mind, Mona became aware of a potential threat. She got up and drew close to the man. “You’re responsible for taking care of the baby once the child is born.” Thaddeus straightened his tie. “Alright. I can do that. I want to be present in the baby’s life and your pregnancy. You should rest at home once your belly gets bigger. I’ll handle Bobby and Millie’s school run, okay?” The man pinched Mona’s face dotingly. “Now you’re talking. Are you heading out?” Mona got up on her tiptoes to brush off the dust from his shoulders. “Yeah. I need to sort out a lot of paperwork.” “I wrote down notes of the meeting I attended on your behalf a few days ago.” Mona walked out to retrieve a

    Thaddeus was in the hospital for a week before he was discharged. The election day for the successor of the Fontaine Group was two weeks later, but Thaddeus had not made a full recovery in his legs. He remained in a wheelchair and persisted in his daily physiotherapy. Mona had a room freed up in Fontaine Residence for Thaddeus’ rehabilitation. A specialized doctor would come around the house every day to help Thaddeus with his recovery. Thaddeus was a strong man to fight through the pain in his physiotherapy sessions. That day, Mona watched as the workers hung a decorative painting on the wall in the hallway. She ordered paintings of her preference and had them shipped from abroad. Mona instructed the workers to put it up, not paying attention to the wobbly painting that had been hung behind her. The painting was about to hit her from the back. Thaddeus was exiting the rehabilitation room when he caught sight of the danger. Getting up from his wheelchair, Thaddeus took large stri

    The few pictures of Mona and Victor at the height of a tussle gave the impression that they were having an intimate moment. Thaddeus went through the photos with a look of disdain. “So you stood there and pretended to take pictures of me to show me these? You set my wife up with another man to tell me she was cheating on me?” It was not hard to guess the game the paparazzi were playing, but who was he trying to fool? The man was dumbstruck, as it never occurred to him that Thaddeus could see through him. It had taken the three of them to come up with the idea. However, it had not taken much for Thaddeus to foil their plan. Mona let out a relieved smile. She thought that Thaddeus would be furious at the look of the pictures and had prepared herself to give a long explanation. She was surprised that Thaddeus quickly saw through the attempt to drive them apart. Their relationship was solid, and no one could come between them. Mona thought to herself with glee when she took

    Mona stood in front of Thaddeus, blocking his face as she confronted the paparazzi who took their picture. “Hand over the camera!” “There’s nothing in the camera. Besides, it’s my personal property. Why should I give it to you?” “You clearly took a picture of my husband. You have some nerve to say there’s nothing.” Mona grabbed the man by the wrist and lifted her foot to kick. Thaddeus grabbed her wrist to stop her. “You’re pregnant. Think about the child.” Thaddeus pulled Mona back, leaving himself exposed to the paparazzi. “Why do you want to photograph me? Do you want to see me in a wheelchair? Take a picture then.” Thaddeus pulled a straight face. His nonchalant gaze spoke of intimidation. Dumbstruck, the paparazzi looked at Thaddeus’ legs and smiled dryly. “What happened to your legs, Mr. Fontaine?” Thaddeus did not answer. However, his dark eyes flicked chillingly as he looked murderously at the paparazzi. Even in a wheelchair, Thaddeus did not have to say anythi

    With the help of the two caretakers, Thaddeus sat in the wheelchair. He had overcome his emotions and pulled himself together. His mind was clear as he sorted out what he should do next. Thaddeus called the assistant into the room and laid out the following plan. “I won’t attend any media interviews before the election, but I won’t disappear from the public eye either. I don’t want to give the press something to talk about. My wife will represent me. Going forward, whatever she says or does will be considered my own. She has the authority to attend all corporate conferences, big or small.” Mona dropped her jaw in shock. She was to attend company meetings and speak on his behalf. It was trying to make the impossible happen. On second thought, Thaddeus must have his reasons to do so. She had the confidence to do a good job anyway. The assistant took note of everything Thaddeus said. The Fontaine Group was about to choose its next leader, and with Thaddeus still in recovery, the

    “It’s okay. That’s normal after surgery. The doctor gave me a heads-up. Since it’s a brain operation, you might have damage to the motor nerve. With the help of physiotherapy, you’ll be back to running in no time.” Mona consoled Thaddeus. Thaddeus lifted his hands and gave Mona a gentle push. “Leave.” Mona froze. She looked at the man who was fine a second ago, not knowing what to do. “Can you leave? I need some time alone,” Fixing his gaze on Mona, Thaddeus spoke callously. “Okay. I’ll be right outside if you need me.” It dawned on Mona why the man was persistent in driving her away. He did not want her to see him at his worst. In a way, he was trying to protect his pride and dignity as a man. However, they were a married couple. Mona would never turn her back on him. Mona could understand the man’s vulnerability and his feelings at the moment. Hence, she said nothing and quietly left the ward to give Thaddeus the time and space to sort his emotions.
