For all these years, she had upheld the Davidson family’s standards, managed their vast estate, and believed she had married a pillar of a man. She never imagined she’d been kept in the dark, that her husband’s betrayal concealed such a monumental secret.
“How could you… How could you do this!” Bianca wailed, raising her hands to tear the document to shreds, but Jake grabbed her wrists, stopping her.
Seeing her on the verge of a breakdown, a flicker of impatience crossed his face. “It all happened so long ago. Why can’t you just let it go?”
“Let it go?” Bianca laughed as if she’d heard the world’s cruelest joke. She wrenched her hands free and staggered back a few steps. Her gaze fell on Alexander, whose face was just as pale on the hospital bed, and her tears flowed even faster. “Oh, Alex, my poor son… How could your father do this to us?”
Watching his mother’s breakdown, a sharp pain shot through the wound in Alexander’s chest. He opened his mouth, but his throat was too dry to make a sound.
Bianca’s cries grew more frantic. She grabbed a water glass from the table and smashed it on the floor, sending shards of glass flying.
“I can’t live like this! It’s over!”
She screamed and lunged toward the wall.
Danielle reacted instantly, throwing her arms around her.
“Auntie! Please, don’t!”
Danielle’s voice was urgent. She held Bianca’s arms tightly, feeling the violent tremors wracking the older woman’s body, and her heart ached.
She understood Bianca’s despair. Decades of devotion, only to be met with such a sordid truth—it was more than anyone could bear.
