The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 2031

Ayden and Betsy's secret love affair was finally discovered by Natalie.

At that time, Natalie had already arranged a match for Ayden, a wealthy heiress from a family of equal social status. The plan was to get them engaged within the year.

But Ayden, who had never resisted his mother's decisions, rebelled against this one.

Natalie knew her son too well. She knew that his resistance meant something was up. It wasn't hard to figure out.

It was on Ayden's birthday. The first and only birthday he spent with his beloved girl.

He told his therapist, "She stayed up with me until midnight, was the first to wish me a happy birthday. We woke up together, and she took me out for the whole day. It felt like I was a kid again."d2

When they returned home, their happiness was shattered.

Natalie was waiting at the door of his apartment. Dressed in all her finery, she slapped Betsy across the face, "So it was you all along? The Silvermans took pity on you, paid for you and your sister's education, and you repay us by setting your sights on becoming the lady of the Silverman house?"

"Mrs. Natalie, I'm not..." Natalie cut her off, and slapped her again, "Who do you think you are?"

Ayden was dumbstruck. By the time he snapped back to reality, Natalie had had him dragged into the elevator.

Ayden tried to resist, but Natalie simply said, "Break up with her now, and we can pretend this never happened. Otherwise, the next time you see her, she'll be a corpse."

She added, "Ayden, I don't care if you hate me. Sooner or later, you'll realize that the common girl can't compare to the match I've arranged for you."
