Rewriting My Heart's Fate

"Ethan, your son is a descendant of our family," said Julia. "How could you even think of hiding this from us?" "You" Ethan gritted his teeth. A vein on his temple pulsed, and I could tell that he was going to yell at her.

I hastily tugged at the corner of his sleeve. Forcing a smile on my already frail face, I said, "Hi, Julia."noveldrama

Julia's eyes fell on me as she looked me up and down with her piercing gaze. A moment later, she snorted contemptuously.

"Aren't you just relentless, Evelyn? You got pregnant with Ethan's child in secret. Were you planning on becoming his wife?" she seethed.

The color faded from my cheeks. The way Julia put it was simply too horrible.

Was I a vixen in her eyes?

Ethan and I were married. There was nothing wrong with us starting a family of our own.

I suppressed the anger in me and put on a smile. "You misunderstand us. Ethan and I are husband and wife. It's normal for a married couple to have children."

I added, "Come and take a look at our son. He looks just like Ethan when he was young. Do you want to hug him?"

I carefully handed Julia the baby, hoping that she would give in. However, she scowled and moved away, avoiding the baby.

"No, thanks. Who knows if that baby is actually Ethan's," she said scornfully. "You're such a minx. I don't want to take a bastard home."

"Mom!" Ethan roared. "How could you say that!"

Unable to suppress his anger, he punched the wall. "You've gone overboard! Evelyn's my wife. Of course, the baby's mine! How could you humiliate her like that!" "Humiliate?" Julia sniggered. "I'm doing this for the sake of our family!"

She continued, "Have you forgotten

that you're the heir to Grayson Group? You should've married a woman from a wealthy family, but now, you got yourself a woman without a substantial background and had her give birth to a son. What would those foxes on the board think?"

At this point, Ethan was so mad that he started trembling from rage. "I have the right to marry who I want to. It has nothing to do with the board of directors. Even if Evelyn comes from a normal family, she has so many properties now. You can't even imagine how many she owns."

He continued, "She's the CEO of Evelyn Studio. She came this far all on her own. It's all thanks to her that Grayson Group got this far. She's our benefactor. Besides, Evelyn and I love each other—"

"Love? You're telling me Grayson

Group can't survive because of her?"

Julia sneered. "It seems to me that she has her eyes on your power and wealth and wants to rely on you to climb the social ladder."

With that, she handed Ethan a stack of papers and said, "Take a look at these. If it weren't for our family's support, Evelyn Studio wouldn't have gotten this far."

My heart skipped a beat. Gosh! She managed to get her hands on confidential information. These documents were trade secrets of my company, yet she somehow managed to get a hold of them! "W-Where did you get these from?" I asked, trying my best to look calm.

I reached for the papers, but Julia anticipated it and quickly took the papers back from Ethan. With a cold, scornful gaze, she said, "I have my ways."

She then said, "Don't you dare think that you can keep everything a secret. Sooner or later, you'll return everything Ethan gave you!"

My heart turned cold at her words. So, Julia had been keeping an eye on me and investigated me to get ahold of my weaknesses. She wanted me to submit!

Just then, Ethan grabbed my shoulder and put himself between me and Julia, shielding me.

"Mom, this is a warning. Don't cause trouble for Evelyn," he said, his voice cold. "I don't need you to judge her. I know how great of a person she is."

He paused. "As for the matter regarding the company, you'd better not talk nonsense anymore!"

Julia scoffed. "Ethan, you've been fooled by this woman! You're even working with her to lie to me! You're hopeless!"

In a stern voice, she asked, "I have but one question for you. Do you want to inherit Mars Group?"
