Rachel demanded, “Megan, how’d you rack up so much debt?”
Jasper’s wife, Nola Ridley, yanked Megan’s purse strap, cursing, “Megan, you were dead-set on climbing the social ladder. We poured all our money into helping you, and you vanished abroad for six years without a word, leaving us to take care of Rachel. Now you’re back, drowning in debt, dragging us down with you!”
Jasper jabbed a finger at her. “If you want to be someone’s mistress, fine. But don’t drag us into it. I won’t let you ruin our family’s name with your shamelessness.”
Megan’s head spun as they tugged at her from both sides.
She shoved them away, her voice breaking. “Enough already!”
Tears welling, she glared at them. “Six years ago, if I hadn’t given you money, could you have bought a house in New York?

“Yes, I did shameful things. Yes, I wanted to climb higher. But wasn’t it all so our family could stop scraping by and live better?”
Nola spat, “Don’t play the victim, Megan. We’re broke because of the mess you made. Give us money now, or we’re not done with you!”
Megan, stung by the onlookers’ stares, swallowed her anger and transferred a hundred thousand dollars to Jasper’s phone.
“Take this for now,” she said. “When Hugh gives me the check, I’ll give you more.”
Seeing their greedy faces, she warned, “Remember, if I’m good, you’re good. If I’m not, you’re screwed too!”
She added, “The Cavill family knows about Hudson’s origins. I’m already in over my head, so don’t make it worse. Even if someone holds a knife to your throat, you say nothing!”
After parting with her family, Megan couldn’t sit still.

her and her family, and now her own kin were at her
throat.
If she didn’t get that check from Hugh soon, she’d be cornered long before his grandfather woke up.
She tried calling Hugh, but he didn’t pick up. Jacob kept saying Hugh was busy.
The more unreachable Hugh became, the more panic consumed her.
Near noon, Megan went to the hospital where Bethan worked-and sure enough, she saw Hugh.
Seeing him step out of his car, she ran to him, tears streaming. “Hugh, please, help me. I can’t keep going like this.”
Hugh and Jacob exchanged a glance.
Megan pointed to a restaurant across the street. “Hugh, I have so much to say. Can we sit somewhere and talk?”.
Ten minutes later, they were at the restaurant, Megan
dosing a window booth.

She didn’t even glance at the menu. “Hugh, why haven’t you answered my calls? Your grandfather already knows Hudson’s true identity. When he wakes up, he’ll come after me. What should I do?”
Hugh, calm, reassured her. “Don’t worry. I made you a promise, and I’ll keep it. I’ll take responsibility.”
Relieved by his words, Megan grabbed his hand, sobbing. “Hugh, I knew you wouldn’t abandon me.”
Bethan entered the restaurant with Calvin and Henry, spotting Hugh and Megan instantly.
Calvin asked, “Want to go somewhere else?”
Bethan pointed to the spot behind Hugh. “No. Sit right there.”
Hugh, seated at the table, saw Bethan, Calvin, and Henry pass by. He instinctively pulled his hand from Megan’s.
Megan, noticing his discomfort, hurried to Bethan. “Dr. Olsen, don’t get the wrong idea. I asked Hugh here to talk about something.”

two were just holding hands?”
Hugh’s fists clenched tightly under the table.
Megan stammered, “Dr. Olsen, do you have to make it sound so ugly?”
Henry tugged Bethan’s hand, urging her to sit. “Mommy, sit.”
Megan’s gaze flicked to the child and Calvin beside Bethan.
Megan said, “You and Hugh aren’t even divorced yet, and here you are, dining openly with another man and his son. Playing mother to someone else’s child-have you ever thought about how Hugh must feel?”
Bethan let out a small sigh, her tone calm and cutting. “This is a Cavill family tradition. You haven’t married into the family yet, so you wouldn’t understand. I don’t blame
you.”
Bethan’s words hit Megan like a punch, nearly choking
her.

She grabbed his arm, pulling him up. “Hugh, why don’t you explain your fatherly feelings to your little mistress yourself?”
