24 Chapters

Chapter 11

To be honest, Nathan's lies were not just clumsy, they were riddled with holes.The signal in the hospital corridor was indeed poor, but the VIP ward had Wi-Fi. If he truly needed the internet, there was no need to go downstairs. He could have simply walked to the ward next to the operating room and connected to the Wi-Fi there.And foreigners were still human beings, not cold-blooded monsters. In any humane country, no one would force a man to leave his wife while she was in labor just to attend a meeting.Kenses was a developed nation, one that placed great value on family. Something like that would never happen there.Ian listened quietly to Nathan's lies. For a moment, he had the urge to rush forward and punch the bastard in the face.But he held back.There would be a time for that punch—but not now."Ian, I know I was wrong," Nathan said, lowering his stance, his voice filled with a practiced sincerity. "You can hit me, you can scold me—I deserve it. But please, I'm beggin

Chapter 12

At that moment, Nathan wanted nothing more than to see Phoebe. But when his eyes met Ian's cold, unyielding face, he swallowed the words back down.To be honest, he was a little afraid of his brother-in-law.Maybe it was because of his military background, but Ian carried an aura of authority that left no room for argument. Nathan had spent years navigating the business world, dealing with all kinds of cunning and ruthless people, but even he couldn't shake the pressure that Ian's presence exerted."I'll go back and start preparing," Nathan said, softening his tone. "If Phoebe wakes up, please tell her that I love her and I'm waiting at home. I'll be there, no matter what." He laid it on thick—one last display of affection before leaving.Ian felt sick just watching him.Men who cheat always act the most devoted.In his experience, honest men rarely had much romantic finesse. Even if they liked someone, they were clumsy with their words, fumbling to express their feelings. It was

Chapter 13

Bethany never liked Phoebe, but she still cared deeply about the child growing inside her.After all, this was her first grandchild. From the moment Phoebe became pregnant, Bethany had been waiting for the day she could finally hold her grandson in her arms.Nathan never mentioned the premature birth to his parents. He knew exactly how they would react if they found out. To them, nothing mattered more than the baby's well-being—certainly not Phoebe's health.Modern medicine had advanced enough to ensure premature babies could grow up healthy, but the older generation never trusted such claims. In their minds, a premature child would always be frail. Only babies born after a full-term pregnancy could be considered truly healthy. If the mother suffered in the process, that was a small price to pay for the child's future.Even when Phoebe's condition became critical, Nathan's parents would never have agreed to an early delivery. They would have insisted on giving her nutritional suppl

Chapter 14

The black SUV rolled to a stop in front of the villa. The moment it parked, a crowd swarmed around it."They're here! The baby's finally home!""I heard it's a boy. He must be as handsome as Nathan!""The moment I knew Phoebe was pregnant, I had two gold bracelets made. Finally, I can give them to the baby!"Under the weight of their anticipation, the car door slowly opened. Ian stepped out, carrying a portable baby stroller. Inside lay Nathan's child.Excitement flickered in everyone's eyes, but Ian's presence was too imposing. No one dared approach, even though they were eager to catch a glimpse of the baby.In the end, it was Nathan who walked forward first."Ian, why are you alone? Where's Phoebe?" His voice trembled with urgency. "Didn't she come with you?"At this, Ian's lips curved into a faint smile—something rare for him. "Phoebe couldn't make it today," he said calmly. "She asked me to bring the baby instead.""Why couldn't she come?" Nathan's concern only deepened.

Chapter 15

Bethany's sharp scream cut through the air. Nathan turned, startled, and saw the group of well-dressed women around the stroller scattering in all directions. Their faces, pale and twisted, reflected the kind of fear that seeped into your bones and stayed there.Bethany collapsed to the ground. Her knees simply gave out.Nathan rushed forward and caught her. "Mom, what's wrong? You look awful."Her face was bloodless. She trembled as she raised a shaking hand, pointing at the stroller. Her voice barely made it out. "The baby... the baby..."Ian chose that moment to approach. He lowered his eyes to the stroller and let a faint smile curve his lips. "Aren't you going to take a look at your newborn son, Nathan?"Something felt wrong. Deeply wrong. Nathan's chest tightened as he stepped forward, his legs heavy beneath him. With each step, a cold weight pressed harder against his ribs.Behind him, Bethany began to wail. The sound was raw and broken. "My grandson—my poor grandson!"

Chapter 16

Every time Clara seduced Nathan, she would send a provocative text message to Phoebe, inviting her to watch their adultery.Her intention was simple—to provoke Phoebe, to push her over the edge. If luck was on her side, maybe the shock would cause Phoebe, with her heavily pregnant belly, to miscarry. And if, by some cruel twist of fate, Phoebe bled out and died on the operating table, well, that would be even better.What Clara didn't know was that every time she lured Phoebe to witness their entanglement, Phoebe would quietly take out her phone and record everything. What she also didn't know was that in the hospital where Ian had arranged for Phoebe to stay, every room was equipped with hidden surveillance cameras.The hospital wasn't open to the public. It served the military exclusively, and at that time, there were no injured soldiers occupying the rooms. Ian had anticipated Nathan's infidelity. He knew that while accompanying Phoebe during her hospital stay, Nathan wouldn't

Chapter 17

The moment Phoebe's tear fell, the camera shifted, zooming in on Nathan. At that exact time, he was in one of the VIP suites in the hospital, caught up in a steamy nurse role-play with Clara.The sight sent a ripple of fury through the crowd. Even Nathan's own relatives, usually inclined to defend him, couldn't help but curse him silently as a scumbag. The other guests, however, had no reservations about voicing their outrage aloud."My God, is Nathan even human? His wife is lying on the operating table giving birth, and he's out there fooling around with his mistress!""This is the so-called model husband? The city's beloved 'good man'? What a joke!""Disgusting! Now I understand why Phoebe chose to abort the baby. If it were me, I'd do the same. I'd never give birth to a child for a man like that."As the crowd's anger swelled, Bethany, unable to sit quietly any longer, spoke up to defend her son. "That video is obviously edited," she said. "Nathan made mistakes, but I know my s

Chapter 18

In that moment, Phoebe didn't record a video. She only captured Bethany's voice. After all, she had been there herself and couldn't aim the camera directly at Bethany. But the audio alone was explosive enough."Did I hear that right?" someone gasped. "Bethany actually suggested letting the mistress move into her son's home? What is she thinking? Is that something a sane person would do?""And she even lied to Phoebe, saying the mistress was Nathan's cousin… Seriously, what kind of mother does that?""Do you think Bethany believes that since Phoebe is pregnant and can't take care of her son, she should find a young and pretty mistress to do it instead?""What century is she living in? A mother-in-law bringing a mistress into the house while her daughter-in-law is pregnant—it's unbelievable. This whole family is insane!"When the video finally ended, the Marshal family had lost every shred of dignity they had left. But for Ian, this was only the beginning. He had no intention of let

Chapter 19

Larry and Bethany had far too much faith in their household staff.Ian and his men had all served in the military. Ordinary people didn't stand a chance against them. Ian didn't even lift a finger. With a simple gesture, one of his subordinates took down the entire group of servants as if they were nothing more than paper dolls.The flash drives remained in Ian's possession. Worse still, several guests had recorded the chaotic scene on their phones. Once those videos made their way online, the Marshal family's already crumbling reputation would be completely shattered.In the middle of the commotion, Ian drove off in his SUV, leaving nothing behind but a cloud of dust. Bethany, on the other hand, collapsed to the floor. Tears poured down her face as she wailed. "Oh, dear heavens, what are we going to do? The Harris family is trying to destroy us!""You disgraceful fool!" With Ian gone, Larry had no one left to vent his rage on but his own son. He marched over and struck Nathan ha

Chapter 20

Nathan rushed to the hospital the moment he could. In his naive assumption, Phoebe was still there, resting in a hospital bed. What he didn't know was that while he had been entangled with Clara, Phoebe had already boarded a flight to another country."Let me in! My wife is inside! I need to see her!" he shouted the moment he arrived, only to find himself in a heated argument with the security guards at the hospital gate.The hospital exclusively served the military and was not open to the public. Previously, Ian's influence had granted Nathan access, but now that privilege had been revoked. Without Ian's permission, the gates were firmly shut against him.Nathan tried to force his way inside, but the guards were not ordinary retirees. They were former soldiers—tall, broad, and thoroughly trained. If not for the hospital's strict policy against physical confrontation with civilians, they would have easily pinned him to the ground.When brute force failed, Nathan switched tactics.
