“Listen to me. He cheated on you. Not long after you gave birth to
Lewis, Glenda gave birth to his daughter, Stephanie. He also lied about saving your life back then. All he wanted was your family’s power and wealth,” Carlos said in a calm voice, yet Tabitha went berserk when she heard what he said.
“NO! That’s not true! James saved me. You’re lying! Did Miranda put you up to this? Or was it Glenda?”
However, everything he said was true. Although these things had happened many years ago, Carlos’ people still managed to dredge up the truth.

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe reason why James married Tabitha was that her family was one of the power elite in the city back in the day. They were quite influential, and wealthy to boot. James had set his sights on all that, and wooed her until she agreed to marry him. Actually, James was not Valerie’s son. He wanted even more power and resources to strengthen his position within the Hilton family.
When she was younger, Tabitha Liked to travel. At one point, her affinity for foreign countries proved to be her undoing. Emerging from a restaurant after sampling the local cuisine, she rounded a corner, straight into the arms of thugs who intended to rob her and worse. A man showed up, and through a combination of skill, speed, and brains, managed to save her from these hoodLums. They were savage, yet he was brainy. But she didn’t know who her savior was. It was too dark to see his face.
She searched for him for several months, using her influence and connections, but to no avail. James somehow got wind of this and pretended to be the man who saved her. As a result, they were married.
James wasn’t even Douglas and Valerie’s son. They only had one Living son, Wade.
After Valerie gave birth to their second son, it ended in tragedy. He was stillborn. Douglas was determined to shield his wife from the devastating news, so he procured a newborn baby and told Valerie it was their son. That baby was none other than James.
The boy’s mother died in childbirth, and there was nobody to claim her body. No one knew who the boy’s father was
As a result, money changed hands to expedite things. Douglas adopted him and told his wife that he was their second son. Valerie never knew any different. It was a difficult pregnancy, and they used a mixture of half-oxygen-half-nitrous-oxide to treat her pain during Labor. She was unconscious during sof the critical moments, and wasn’t lucid immediately following the birth.
He told nobody the truth even before his death. Maybe he just wanted to bury the fact forever.
Seeing Tabitha’s red eyes, Carlos put the divorce papers on the table and said, “You’re making way too much out of this. If you don’t want to divorce James, it’s fine with me. Just think it over.”
Tabitha shrieked hysterically as she grabbed the papers, tore them into shreds, and stuffed sstrips in her mouth.
“I know what you’re up to,” she said, talking around the mouthful.
“You’re trying to hurt

Carlos tried to stop her, but she moved the papers away, tearing another strip and putting it in her mouth. After chewing the strips a few times, she spat them out.
Tristan rolled his eyes secretly and thought, ‘Wow! What an ungrateful mother! I feel bad for Carlos.
Wait! That’s not right. She’s not his mom. Still, so selfish!‘
Carlos couldn’t be bothered to argue with her. He simply said, “I’ve found the finest mental hospital in Alorith. Why don’t you cwith me? I can visit you more often if you stay there.”
“Save your hypocrisy and fuck off! Stay out of my business. You’re not my son!” Tabitha screamed at the top of her Lungs
“We’re leaving now. I’ll visit you when I’m free,” Carlos said, emotionless.
“Don’t bother. You Look down on us, now that you’re the CEO. You even disrespect your father, your whole family. Just go away!”
Carlos paused when he heard that, but then kept walking away.
