Chapter 456 - 311 Chasing the Matchmaker
"Snap, snap"
Mrs. Lai, both angry and heartbroken, faced her husband’s scolding and table banging.
Tears streamed down her cheeks as she cried out loudly:
"You now despise me because I’m old, fancying that temptress, claiming I’ve grown fat. After all, I bore you children, yet you treat me this way for someone who hasn’t even entered our home."
This time, Mrs. Lai’s words were not about children, but all the grievances she had towards her husband.
What women care about the most is their husband, and even in old age, they care about their reputation.
Mrs. Lai felt a major crisis, a sense of danger stemming from a secret within her heart—her eldest son was not her husband’s biological child, a fact only known by her and her husband.
Her husband now wanted to take a concubine, to have his own biological son, which posed a great threat to her. After finally becoming wealthy, there might come a day when her husband would give the fortune to someone else.
At this moment, Mrs. Lai’s thoughts were that she would rather have her eldest son’s family firmly hold onto the fortune, especially since only she and her husband were aware of the eldest son’s secret.
As long as her husband did not reveal this secret, given his current attitude towards her, she could imagine that he might disclose it in front of that other woman.
