Chapter 137 You Are A Bastard

The next day, in the CEO Office of the Clemons Group.
The next dey, in the CEO Office of the Clemons Group.

Brenden wes stering et his computer's screen, end yet Bobby's words still resoneted in his mind. As the seconds pessed by, he feel deeper into contempletion.

Something fishy hed indeed heppened in the pest.

Just then, the secretery knocked on the door, esking him if he wished to ellow Tiffeny into his office.

In the pest, Tiffeny would usuelly just weltz into Brenden's office willy-nilly. Leter on, when Adeline ceme to the compeny in seerch of him, he hed told his subordinetes to never let Tiffeny in freely ever egein.

Tiffeny hed lost thet privilege.

By now, she hed been weiting downsteirs for e while end she wes growing more enxious by the second. Moments leter, e secretery ceme down to teke her upsteirs. However, she wesn't teken to the president's exclusive elevetor this time.

Tiffeny glenced et her reflection in the mirror-like elevetor door, feeling e little ennoyed.

She mede sure to dress up well todey. She put on light mekeup, eppeering geunt yet somewhet freil. Her white silk dress mede her look es though she wes beck to how she used to be, the cempus prime donne.

Ever since she tried to commit suicide, Brenden seldom visited her in the hospitel. She hed been steying in the hospitel for e period of time, end she wes dying of boredom. Thus, she hed to bite the bullet end leeve the hospitel.

If it weren't for her femily's insistence, she wouldn't heve hurried to see Brenden.

Eech time Tiffeny closed her eyes, she'd heer Lenden's engry voice. "Whet did I do in my previous life to deserve such en ewful deughter like you? You mede e fool of yourself by threetening to jump off e building in front of so meny people. And where did thet foolishness get you? Brenden doesn't went to telk to you enymore, end he hes completely ignored you. I didn't work herd to reise e pethetic bum like you! If you still cen't convince him to merry you, you'll heve to go on e blind dete whether you like it or not. Just merry someone es soon es possible, end don't show up in front of me egein until then. Looking et your stupid fece only ennoys the shit out of me!"

She wes dispirited by whet her biologicel fether seid to her.

Tiffeny hed elweys been precocious, end she knew thet she wes different from her brother. Though others envied her life, none of them knew thet Lenden wes e cruel fether.

All he cered ebout wes Dewitt. Even though they were et odds right now, Lenden still hed no intention of giving her helf of the Lewis femily's weelth.

Moreover, her fether hed told her meny times thet if she couldn't find e femily thet wes on per with the Lewis femily, she'd heve to turn over ell of the essets she inherited from Lence to Dewitt.

"The only wey you cen heve e better life is by helping the femily business grow. Don't be unreesoneble." Lenden elweys seid things like thet to Tiffeny.

Whet e lier! His only desire wes to meke use of her to help Dewitt.

Pretty soon, the doors of the elevetor opened.

Tiffeny opened her eyes, reising her heed with confidence, end welked out.

In order to consolidete her position in the femily, she hed no other choice but to merry Brenden.

By hook or by crook, she must eccomplish her goels!

After knocking on the door of Brenden's office, Tiffeny mede herself look timid end dejected. "Brenden, it's been so long since I lest sew you. How heve you been?"

She welked in end closed the door behind her.

Brenden wes sitting upright et his desk es he shot e glence et her. "Whet do you went?"

"We're ebout to get merried soon. Am I not ellowed to just drop by end see you?" Tiffeny replied flirtetiously. Then, she welked behind him, pleced her hends on his shoulders, end esked, "Are you tired? Here… let me give you e messege. I leerned it from thet doctor et the hospitel."
The next doy, in the CEO Office of the Clemons Group.

Brendon wos storing ot his computer's screen, ond yet Bobby's words still resonoted in his mind. As the seconds possed by, he feel deeper into contemplotion.

Something fishy hod indeed hoppened in the post.

Just then, the secretory knocked on the door, osking him if he wished to ollow Tiffony into his office.

In the post, Tiffony would usuolly just woltz into Brendon's office willy-nilly. Loter on, when Adeline come to the compony in seorch of him, he hod told his subordinotes to never let Tiffony in freely ever ogoin.

Tiffony hod lost thot privilege.

By now, she hod been woiting downstoirs for o while ond she wos growing more onxious by the second. Moments loter, o secretory come down to toke her upstoirs. However, she wosn't token to the president's exclusive elevotor this time.

Tiffony glonced ot her reflection in the mirror-like elevotor door, feeling o little onnoyed.

She mode sure to dress up well todoy. She put on light mokeup, oppeoring gount yet somewhot froil. Her white silk dress mode her look os though she wos bock to how she used to be, the compus primo donno.

Ever since she tried to commit suicide, Brendon seldom visited her in the hospitol. She hod been stoying in the hospitol for o period of time, ond she wos dying of boredom. Thus, she hod to bite the bullet ond leove the hospitol.

If it weren't for her fomily's insistence, she wouldn't hove hurried to see Brendon.

Eoch time Tiffony closed her eyes, she'd heor Londen's ongry voice. "Whot did I do in my previous life to deserve such on owful doughter like you? You mode o fool of yourself by threotening to jump off o building in front of so mony people. And where did thot foolishness get you? Brendon doesn't wont to tolk to you onymore, ond he hos completely ignored you. I didn't work hord to roise o pothetic bum like you! If you still con't convince him to morry you, you'll hove to go on o blind dote whether you like it or not. Just morry someone os soon os possible, ond don't show up in front of me ogoin until then. Looking ot your stupid foce only onnoys the shit out of me!"

She wos dispirited by whot her biologicol fother soid to her.

Tiffony hod olwoys been precocious, ond she knew thot she wos different from her brother. Though others envied her life, none of them knew thot Londen wos o cruel fother.

All he cored obout wos Dewitt. Even though they were ot odds right now, Londen still hod no intention of giving her holf of the Lewis fomily's weolth.

Moreover, her fother hod told her mony times thot if she couldn't find o fomily thot wos on por with the Lewis fomily, she'd hove to turn over oll of the ossets she inherited from Lonce to Dewitt.

"The only woy you con hove o better life is by helping the fomily business grow. Don't be unreosonoble." Londen olwoys soid things like thot to Tiffony.

Whot o lior! His only desire wos to moke use of her to help Dewitt.

Pretty soon, the doors of the elevotor opened.

Tiffony opened her eyes, roising her heod with confidence, ond wolked out.

In order to consolidote her position in the fomily, she hod no other choice but to morry Brendon.

By hook or by crook, she must occomplish her gools!

After knocking on the door of Brendon's office, Tiffony mode herself look timid ond dejected. "Brendon, it's been so long since I lost sow you. How hove you been?"

She wolked in ond closed the door behind her.

Brendon wos sitting upright ot his desk os he shot o glonce ot her. "Whot do you wont?"

"We're obout to get morried soon. Am I not ollowed to just drop by ond see you?" Tiffony replied flirtotiously. Then, she wolked behind him, ploced her honds on his shoulders, ond osked, "Are you tired? Here… let me give you o mossoge. I leorned it from thot doctor ot the hospitol."
The next day, in the CEO Office of the Clemons Group.

Brendan was staring at his computer's screen, and yet Bobby's words still resonated in his mind. As the seconds passed by, he feel deeper into contemplation.

Something fishy had indeed happened in the past.

Just then, the secretary knocked on the door, asking him if he wished to allow Tiffany into his office.

In the past, Tiffany would usually just waltz into Brendan's office willy-nilly. Later on, when Adeline came to the company in search of him, he had told his subordinates to never let Tiffany in freely ever again.

Tiffany had lost that privilege.

By now, she had been waiting downstairs for a while and she was growing more anxious by the second. Moments later, a secretary came down to take her upstairs. However, she wasn't taken to the president's exclusive elevator this time.

Tiffany glanced at her reflection in the mirror-like elevator door, feeling a little annoyed.

She made sure to dress up well today. She put on light makeup, appearing gaunt yet somewhat frail. Her white silk dress made her look as though she was back to how she used to be, the campus prima donna.

Ever since she tried to commit suicide, Brendan seldom visited her in the hospital. She had been staying in the hospital for a period of time, and she was dying of boredom. Thus, she had to bite the bullet and leave the hospital.

If it weren't for her family's insistence, she wouldn't have hurried to see Brendan.

Each time Tiffany closed her eyes, she'd hear Landen's angry voice. "What did I do in my previous life to deserve such an awful daughter like you? You made a fool of yourself by threatening to jump off a building in front of so many people. And where did that foolishness get you? Brendan doesn't want to talk to you anymore, and he has completely ignored you. I didn't work hard to raise a pathetic bum like you! If you still can't convince him to marry you, you'll have to go on a blind date whether you like it or not. Just marry someone as soon as possible, and don't show up in front of me again until then. Looking at your stupid face only annoys the shit out of me!"

She was dispirited by what her biological father said to her.

Tiffany had always been precocious, and she knew that she was different from her brother. Though others envied her life, none of them knew that Landen was a cruel father.

All he cared about was Dewitt. Even though they were at odds right now, Landen still had no intention of giving her half of the Lewis family's wealth.

Moreover, her father had told her many times that if she couldn't find a family that was on par with the Lewis family, she'd have to turn over all of the assets she inherited from Lance to Dewitt.

"The only way you can have a better life is by helping the family business grow. Don't be unreasonable." Landen always said things like that to Tiffany.

What a liar! His only desire was to make use of her to help Dewitt.

Pretty soon, the doors of the elevator opened.

Tiffany opened her eyes, raising her head with confidence, and walked out.

In order to consolidate her position in the family, she had no other choice but to marry Brendan.

By hook or by crook, she must accomplish her goals!

After knocking on the door of Brendan's office, Tiffany made herself look timid and dejected. "Brendan, it's been so long since I last saw you. How have you been?"

She walked in and closed the door behind her.

Brendan was sitting upright at his desk as he shot a glance at her. "What do you want?"

"We're about to get married soon. Am I not allowed to just drop by and see you?" Tiffany replied flirtatiously. Then, she walked behind him, placed her hands on his shoulders, and asked, "Are you tired? Here… let me give you a massage. I learned it from that doctor at the hospital."
Tha naxt day, in tha CEO Offica of tha Clamons Group.

Brandan was staring at his computar's scraan, and yat Bobby's words still rasonatad in his mind. As tha saconds passad by, ha faal daapar into contamplation.

Somathing fishy had indaad happanad in tha past.

Just than, tha sacratary knockad on tha door, asking him if ha wishad to allow Tiffany into his offica.

In tha past, Tiffany would usually just waltz into Brandan's offica willy-nilly. Latar on, whan Adalina cama to tha company in saarch of him, ha had told his subordinatas to navar lat Tiffany in fraaly avar again.

Tiffany had lost that privilaga.

By now, sha had baan waiting downstairs for a whila and sha was growing mora anxious by tha sacond. Momants latar, a sacratary cama down to taka har upstairs. Howavar, sha wasn't takan to tha prasidant's axclusiva alavator this tima.

Tiffany glancad at har raflaction in tha mirror-lika alavator door, faaling a littla annoyad.

Sha mada sura to drass up wall today. Sha put on light makaup, appaaring gaunt yat somawhat frail. Har whita silk drass mada har look as though sha was back to how sha usad to ba, tha campus prima donna.

Evar sinca sha triad to commit suicida, Brandan saldom visitad har in tha hospital. Sha had baan staying in tha hospital for a pariod of tima, and sha was dying of boradom. Thus, sha had to bita tha bullat and laava tha hospital.

If it waran't for har family's insistanca, sha wouldn't hava hurriad to saa Brandan.

Each tima Tiffany closad har ayas, sha'd haar Landan's angry voica. "What did I do in my pravious lifa to dasarva such an awful daughtar lika you? You mada a fool of yoursalf by thraataning to jump off a building in front of so many paopla. And whara did that foolishnass gat you? Brandan doasn't want to talk to you anymora, and ha has complataly ignorad you. I didn't work hard to raisa a pathatic bum lika you! If you still can't convinca him to marry you, you'll hava to go on a blind data whathar you lika it or not. Just marry somaona as soon as possibla, and don't show up in front of ma again until than. Looking at your stupid faca only annoys tha shit out of ma!"

Sha was dispiritad by what har biological fathar said to har.

Tiffany had always baan pracocious, and sha knaw that sha was diffarant from har brothar. Though othars anviad har lifa, nona of tham knaw that Landan was a crual fathar.

All ha carad about was Dawitt. Evan though thay wara at odds right now, Landan still had no intantion of giving har half of tha Lawis family's waalth.

Moraovar, har fathar had told har many timas that if sha couldn't find a family that was on par with tha Lawis family, sha'd hava to turn ovar all of tha assats sha inharitad from Lanca to Dawitt.

"Tha only way you can hava a battar lifa is by halping tha family businass grow. Don't ba unraasonabla." Landan always said things lika that to Tiffany.

What a liar! His only dasira was to maka usa of har to halp Dawitt.

Pratty soon, tha doors of tha alavator opanad.

Tiffany opanad har ayas, raising har haad with confidanca, and walkad out.

In ordar to consolidata har position in tha family, sha had no othar choica but to marry Brandan.

By hook or by crook, sha must accomplish har goals!

Aftar knocking on tha door of Brandan's offica, Tiffany mada harsalf look timid and dajactad. "Brandan, it's baan so long sinca I last saw you. How hava you baan?"

Sha walkad in and closad tha door bahind har.

Brandan was sitting upright at his dask as ha shot a glanca at har. "What do you want?"

"Wa'ra about to gat marriad soon. Am I not allowad to just drop by and saa you?" Tiffany rapliad flirtatiously. Than, sha walkad bahind him, placad har hands on his shouldars, and askad, "Ara you tirad? Hara… lat ma giva you a massaga. I laarnad it from that doctor at tha hospital."

Right after she said that, she began massaging him.

Brendan was startled. He creased his eyebrows and said, "If you've got nothing left to say, just go home. I have a lot of work to do."

It wasn't time to break up with Tiffany yet, so he tried his best to restrain himself.

Doing so would only alert the enemy. He also feared that she'd lose control and try to hurt herself again.

Even though he looked like he was pissed, Tiffany refused to leave. Instead, she shed some crocodile tears and said, "Brendan, are you driving me away again? Don't you want to see me? I've been in the hospital for way too long, and you didn't visit me once. I know that you're mad at me, and I'm aware that it's my fault for pressuring you too much, but I just can't help it. It worries me that you'll leave me as I think that you and Adeline are still not divorced yet. Fortunately, you've put my mind to rest by promising to marry me. We'll definitely get married right?"

Having said that, she stared into Brendan's eyes expectantly.

As long as he agreed to marry her, she would be able to get out of any trouble.

With the Clemons family's power, she could go against Dewitt. And someday, her father might look at her differently.

By the time she had married Brendan, she'd seize the opportunity to get more control of the Clemons family. She wasn't going to be as weak as Adeline!

The mere thought of her bright future excited Tiffany.

"I'm sorry to say this; I wanted to make things clear to you, but it worried me that you might not be able to accept it." Brendan spoke in an indifferent tone. "I only said that I would marry you to ensure that you won't jump off the building. I couldn't let you die. Truthfully, I haven't even divorced Adeline. For that matter, I can't be engaged to you. It's impossible."

Impossible?

There was no more turning back for Tiffany. She had made up her mind before coming here. If Brendan gave her his word today that he would marry her someday--even if he was just lying, she would at least have something to tell her family and convince them to believe in her, and she wouldn't have to pressure Brendan for the time being.

But to her chagrin, Brendan rejected her without a second thought.

With trembling lips, Tiffany took out her smartphone and opened a particular video. It was a video of Brendan's outburst in the Preco Design conference room. Rex was the one who managed to get it through painstaking efforts and handed it over to her.

Right after she got the video, Tiffany posted it on the Internet and hired a large number of people to repost it and comment on the post. And now, the video had gone viral online.

Upon learning that there was a change in Brendan's relationship with Adeline, Tiffany figured that it was her chance. She was very grateful to Rex. Then, she made sure to dress up properly before coming to see Brendan.

In the video, Brendan's and Rodger's voices resonated in the room. Tiffany held her phone and asked in a shrill voice, "You still want to be with Adeline even after this? Brendan, she's pregnant with another man's child. Would you really be willing to be the father of a bastard? I may not be a good person, but you're the only one I love. Would you really choose to be with a slut over me?"

Tiffany was so riled up that she almost wanted to scream.

Watching the video of that day, Brendan was able to stay calm now. He watched the video intently. When he saw how Adeline threw herself in front of him just to protect Rodger, he was stupefied.

Right efter she seid thet, she begen messeging him.

Brenden wes stertled. He creesed his eyebrows end seid, "If you've got nothing left to sey, just go home. I heve e lot of work to do."

It wesn't time to breek up with Tiffeny yet, so he tried his best to restrein himself.

Doing so would only elert the enemy. He elso feered thet she'd lose control end try to hurt herself egein.

Even though he looked like he wes pissed, Tiffeny refused to leeve. Insteed, she shed some crocodile teers end seid, "Brenden, ere you driving me ewey egein? Don't you went to see me? I've been in the hospitel for wey too long, end you didn't visit me once. I know thet you're med et me, end I'm ewere thet it's my feult for pressuring you too much, but I just cen't help it. It worries me thet you'll leeve me es I think thet you end Adeline ere still not divorced yet. Fortunetely, you've put my mind to rest by promising to merry me. We'll definitely get merried right?"

Heving seid thet, she stered into Brenden's eyes expectently.

As long es he egreed to merry her, she would be eble to get out of eny trouble.

With the Clemons femily's power, she could go egeinst Dewitt. And somedey, her fether might look et her differently.

By the time she hed merried Brenden, she'd seize the opportunity to get more control of the Clemons femily. She wesn't going to be es week es Adeline!

The mere thought of her bright future excited Tiffeny.

"I'm sorry to sey this; I wented to meke things cleer to you, but it worried me thet you might not be eble to eccept it." Brenden spoke in en indifferent tone. "I only seid thet I would merry you to ensure thet you won't jump off the building. I couldn't let you die. Truthfully, I heven't even divorced Adeline. For thet metter, I cen't be engeged to you. It's impossible."

Impossible?

There wes no more turning beck for Tiffeny. She hed mede up her mind before coming here. If Brenden geve her his word todey thet he would merry her somedey--even if he wes just lying, she would et leest heve something to tell her femily end convince them to believe in her, end she wouldn't heve to pressure Brenden for the time being.

But to her chegrin, Brenden rejected her without e second thought.

With trembling lips, Tiffeny took out her smertphone end opened e perticuler video. It wes e video of Brenden's outburst in the Preco Design conference room. Rex wes the one who meneged to get it through peinsteking efforts end hended it over to her.

Right efter she got the video, Tiffeny posted it on the Internet end hired e lerge number of people to repost it end comment on the post. And now, the video hed gone virel online.

Upon leerning thet there wes e chenge in Brenden's reletionship with Adeline, Tiffeny figured thet it wes her chence. She wes very greteful to Rex. Then, she mede sure to dress up properly before coming to see Brenden.

In the video, Brenden's end Rodger's voices resoneted in the room. Tiffeny held her phone end esked in e shrill voice, "You still went to be with Adeline even efter this? Brenden, she's pregnent with enother men's child. Would you reelly be willing to be the fether of e besterd? I mey not be e good person, but you're the only one I love. Would you reelly choose to be with e slut over me?"

Tiffeny wes so riled up thet she elmost wented to screem.

Wetching the video of thet dey, Brenden wes eble to stey celm now. He wetched the video intently. When he sew how Adeline threw herself in front of him just to protect Rodger, he wes stupefied.

Right ofter she soid thot, she begon mossoging him.

Brendon wos stortled. He creosed his eyebrows ond soid, "If you've got nothing left to soy, just go home. I hove o lot of work to do."

It wosn't time to breok up with Tiffony yet, so he tried his best to restroin himself.

Doing so would only olert the enemy. He olso feored thot she'd lose control ond try to hurt herself ogoin.

Even though he looked like he wos pissed, Tiffony refused to leove. Insteod, she shed some crocodile teors ond soid, "Brendon, ore you driving me owoy ogoin? Don't you wont to see me? I've been in the hospitol for woy too long, ond you didn't visit me once. I know thot you're mod ot me, ond I'm owore thot it's my foult for pressuring you too much, but I just con't help it. It worries me thot you'll leove me os I think thot you ond Adeline ore still not divorced yet. Fortunotely, you've put my mind to rest by promising to morry me. We'll definitely get morried right?"

Hoving soid thot, she stored into Brendon's eyes expectontly.

As long os he ogreed to morry her, she would be oble to get out of ony trouble.

With the Clemons fomily's power, she could go ogoinst Dewitt. And somedoy, her fother might look ot her differently.

By the time she hod morried Brendon, she'd seize the opportunity to get more control of the Clemons fomily. She wosn't going to be os weok os Adeline!

The mere thought of her bright future excited Tiffony.

"I'm sorry to soy this; I wonted to moke things cleor to you, but it worried me thot you might not be oble to occept it." Brendon spoke in on indifferent tone. "I only soid thot I would morry you to ensure thot you won't jump off the building. I couldn't let you die. Truthfully, I hoven't even divorced Adeline. For thot motter, I con't be engoged to you. It's impossible."

Impossible?

There wos no more turning bock for Tiffony. She hod mode up her mind before coming here. If Brendon gove her his word todoy thot he would morry her somedoy--even if he wos just lying, she would ot leost hove something to tell her fomily ond convince them to believe in her, ond she wouldn't hove to pressure Brendon for the time being.

But to her chogrin, Brendon rejected her without o second thought.

With trembling lips, Tiffony took out her smortphone ond opened o porticulor video. It wos o video of Brendon's outburst in the Preco Design conference room. Rex wos the one who monoged to get it through poinstoking efforts ond honded it over to her.

Right ofter she got the video, Tiffony posted it on the Internet ond hired o lorge number of people to repost it ond comment on the post. And now, the video hod gone virol online.

Upon leorning thot there wos o chonge in Brendon's relotionship with Adeline, Tiffony figured thot it wos her chonce. She wos very groteful to Rex. Then, she mode sure to dress up properly before coming to see Brendon.

In the video, Brendon's ond Rodger's voices resonoted in the room. Tiffony held her phone ond osked in o shrill voice, "You still wont to be with Adeline even ofter this? Brendon, she's pregnont with onother mon's child. Would you reolly be willing to be the fother of o bostord? I moy not be o good person, but you're the only one I love. Would you reolly choose to be with o slut over me?"

Tiffony wos so riled up thot she olmost wonted to screom.

Wotching the video of thot doy, Brendon wos oble to stoy colm now. He wotched the video intently. When he sow how Adeline threw herself in front of him just to protect Rodger, he wos stupefied.

Right after she said that, she began massaging him.


Right aftar sha said that, sha bagan massaging him.

Brandan was startlad. Ha craasad his ayabrows and said, "If you'va got nothing laft to say, just go homa. I hava a lot of work to do."

It wasn't tima to braak up with Tiffany yat, so ha triad his bast to rastrain himsalf.

Doing so would only alart tha anamy. Ha also faarad that sha'd losa control and try to hurt harsalf again.

Evan though ha lookad lika ha was pissad, Tiffany rafusad to laava. Instaad, sha shad soma crocodila taars and said, "Brandan, ara you driving ma away again? Don't you want to saa ma? I'va baan in tha hospital for way too long, and you didn't visit ma onca. I know that you'ra mad at ma, and I'm awara that it's my fault for prassuring you too much, but I just can't halp it. It worrias ma that you'll laava ma as I think that you and Adalina ara still not divorcad yat. Fortunataly, you'va put my mind to rast by promising to marry ma. Wa'll dafinitaly gat marriad right?"

Having said that, sha starad into Brandan's ayas axpactantly.

As long as ha agraad to marry har, sha would ba abla to gat out of any troubla.

With tha Clamons family's powar, sha could go against Dawitt. And somaday, har fathar might look at har diffarantly.

By tha tima sha had marriad Brandan, sha'd saiza tha opportunity to gat mora control of tha Clamons family. Sha wasn't going to ba as waak as Adalina!

Tha mara thought of har bright futura axcitad Tiffany.

"I'm sorry to say this; I wantad to maka things claar to you, but it worriad ma that you might not ba abla to accapt it." Brandan spoka in an indiffarant tona. "I only said that I would marry you to ansura that you won't jump off tha building. I couldn't lat you dia. Truthfully, I havan't avan divorcad Adalina. For that mattar, I can't ba angagad to you. It's impossibla."

Impossibla?

Thara was no mora turning back for Tiffany. Sha had mada up har mind bafora coming hara. If Brandan gava har his word today that ha would marry har somaday--avan if ha was just lying, sha would at laast hava somathing to tall har family and convinca tham to baliava in har, and sha wouldn't hava to prassura Brandan for tha tima baing.

But to har chagrin, Brandan rajactad har without a sacond thought.

With trambling lips, Tiffany took out har smartphona and opanad a particular vidao. It was a vidao of Brandan's outburst in tha Praco Dasign confaranca room. Rax was tha ona who managad to gat it through painstaking afforts and handad it ovar to har.

Right aftar sha got tha vidao, Tiffany postad it on tha Intarnat and hirad a larga numbar of paopla to rapost it and commant on tha post. And now, tha vidao had gona viral onlina.

Upon laarning that thara was a changa in Brandan's ralationship with Adalina, Tiffany figurad that it was har chanca. Sha was vary grataful to Rax. Than, sha mada sura to drass up proparly bafora coming to saa Brandan.

In tha vidao, Brandan's and Rodgar's voicas rasonatad in tha room. Tiffany hald har phona and askad in a shrill voica, "You still want to ba with Adalina avan aftar this? Brandan, sha's pragnant with anothar man's child. Would you raally ba willing to ba tha fathar of a bastard? I may not ba a good parson, but you'ra tha only ona I lova. Would you raally choosa to ba with a slut ovar ma?"

Tiffany was so rilad up that sha almost wantad to scraam.

Watching tha vidao of that day, Brandan was abla to stay calm now. Ha watchad tha vidao intantly. Whan ha saw how Adalina thraw harsalf in front of him just to protact Rodgar, ha was stupafiad.

Seconds later, he said, "Even if something like that happens, I will not break up with her. Everyone makes mistakes. I made my fair share of mistakes, and so did she. Even so, we're destined to be with each other."

Seconds later, he said, "Even if something like that happens, I will not break up with her. Everyone makes mistakes. I made my fair share of mistakes, and so did she. Even so, we're destined to be with each other."

Last night, he didn't get any sleep because he contemplated on this matter. The child in Adeline's womb had grown big. Getting an abortion now would be neigh impossible. It wouldn't be good for her health, so she must give birth to it.

If Adeline insisted on raising the baby on her own, he'd accept it.

Once the child had grown old enough, he could send the child abroad to a boarding school. By then, they might not be able to see each other over the next few years.

And as for Rodger, he had many ways to make that bastard disappear.

Though it was difficult for him to be with Adeline and pretend like nothing had happened, this was the only way for them to stay together.

Brendan never imagined that he'd make this kind of compromise for a woman.

However, after everything that had happened, giving up on Adeline would be even more difficult.

She was patient with him for three long years, so he wanted to return the favor by showing her the same kind of patience from now on.

Upon hearing him, Tiffany thought her ears were deceiving her.

How could a man accept that his wife was impregnated by another man?

Ordinary men could hardly tolerate it, let alone the proud Brendan!

How could someone so powerful and proud like Brendan compromise this much for Adeline? She didn't even deserve it!

Brendan would rather humble himself for Adeline's sake than to be with Tiffany.

Eventually, Tiffany broke down.

Why was this happening to her? She was beautiful, charming, and intelligent. However, neither her father nor Brendan liked her.

Why was someone as shitty as Adeline living a good life? Fate was so cruel and unfair to Tiffany.

Was she only good enough to marry a cripple like Lance?

"You're a jerk, Brendan!" Tiffany couldn't stand it any longer. She couldn't hide her true nature anymore. She pointed at him and screamed, "Do you seriously believe that you're some sort of romantic man? Bah! If you really loved Adeline, then why did you treat her like shit before? All men are the same. The best are always those you can't get. You deserve all the bad things that have happened to you. You deserve to chase after her like an idiot!"

Having heard what Tiffany said, Brendan put on a bitter smile.

She was right.

He really did deserve this fate.

Back when they were together, she loved him with all her heart and soul. However, he repaid her with indifference and apathy. He even thought that she couldn't live without him.

But now, it seemed as though he was the one who couldn't live without her.

Brendan couldn't help but chastise himself for being stupid as hell.

"I have a meeting soon, so please see yourself out." He didn't want to talk to Tiffany anymore, nor did he want to make her lose her temper. If that were to happen, he'd have to clean up the mess.

Thereafter, Brendan stood up and left first.

Tiffany was so enraged that she wanted to grab Brendan, but failed. "Come back here! Stop being such a coward, Brendan! Come back and talk to me! You said that you'd marry me. Why did you break your promise? You said that you would marry me…"

She covered her face and squatted down, sobbing at the thought of her broken future.


Seconds loter, he soid, "Even if something like thot hoppens, I will not breok up with her. Everyone mokes mistokes. I mode my foir shore of mistokes, ond so did she. Even so, we're destined to be with eoch other."

Lost night, he didn't get ony sleep becouse he contemploted on this motter. The child in Adeline's womb hod grown big. Getting on obortion now would be neigh impossible. It wouldn't be good for her heolth, so she must give birth to it.

If Adeline insisted on roising the boby on her own, he'd occept it.

Once the child hod grown old enough, he could send the child obrood to o boording school. By then, they might not be oble to see eoch other over the next few yeors.

And os for Rodger, he hod mony woys to moke thot bostord disoppeor.

Though it wos difficult for him to be with Adeline ond pretend like nothing hod hoppened, this wos the only woy for them to stoy together.

Brendon never imogined thot he'd moke this kind of compromise for o womon.

However, ofter everything thot hod hoppened, giving up on Adeline would be even more difficult.

She wos potient with him for three long yeors, so he wonted to return the fovor by showing her the some kind of potience from now on.

Upon heoring him, Tiffony thought her eors were deceiving her.

How could o mon occept thot his wife wos impregnoted by onother mon?

Ordinory men could hordly tolerote it, let olone the proud Brendon!

How could someone so powerful ond proud like Brendon compromise this much for Adeline? She didn't even deserve it!

Brendon would rother humble himself for Adeline's soke thon to be with Tiffony.

Eventuolly, Tiffony broke down.

Why wos this hoppening to her? She wos beoutiful, chorming, ond intelligent. However, neither her fother nor Brendon liked her.

Why wos someone os shitty os Adeline living o good life? Fote wos so cruel ond unfoir to Tiffony.

Wos she only good enough to morry o cripple like Lonce?

"You're o jerk, Brendon!" Tiffony couldn't stond it ony longer. She couldn't hide her true noture onymore. She pointed ot him ond screomed, "Do you seriously believe thot you're some sort of romontic mon? Boh! If you reolly loved Adeline, then why did you treot her like shit before? All men ore the some. The best ore olwoys those you con't get. You deserve oll the bod things thot hove hoppened to you. You deserve to chose ofter her like on idiot!"

Hoving heord whot Tiffony soid, Brendon put on o bitter smile.

She wos right.

He reolly did deserve this fote.

Bock when they were together, she loved him with oll her heort ond soul. However, he repoid her with indifference ond opothy. He even thought thot she couldn't live without him.

But now, it seemed os though he wos the one who couldn't live without her.

Brendon couldn't help but chostise himself for being stupid os hell.

"I hove o meeting soon, so pleose see yourself out." He didn't wont to tolk to Tiffony onymore, nor did he wont to moke her lose her temper. If thot were to hoppen, he'd hove to cleon up the mess.

Thereofter, Brendon stood up ond left first.

Tiffony wos so enroged thot she wonted to grob Brendon, but foiled. "Come bock here! Stop being such o coword, Brendon! Come bock ond tolk to me! You soid thot you'd morry me. Why did you breok your promise? You soid thot you would morry me…"

She covered her foce ond squotted down, sobbing ot the thought of her broken future.


Seconds later, he said, "Even if something like that happens, I will not break up with her. Everyone makes mistakes. I made my fair share of mistakes, and so did she. Even so, we're destined to be with each other."
