Gold Digger vs Gold Saver My Man's Double Life novel Chapter 46

Chapter 7

Cade went hard.

Didn’t just crush Dad’s company with ruthless tactics. He sent Dad to prison too.

That day Dad was wild. Eyes bloodshot. Took multiple people to hold him down.

He screamed, “I should’ve killed you.”

“Should’ve killed you the day you were born.”

Cade downed a drink.

“I hate him.”

“Still hate him.”

“Not any less.”

“Your experiment? Useless.”

How could he not hate him?

His mom worked to put Dad through college. Waitress, dishwasher, every dirty job there was.

But after Dad met Mom, he moved on fast.

He was scared Cade’s mom would cling to him. Scared she’d ruin his image.

So he painted himself as the victim.

Said Cade’s mom seduced his friends.

If someone wants to trash a woman’s reputation, she can’t defend herself.

She almost jumped in the river. But she was pregnant.

She held on. Raised her kid to eight years old.

But her body gave out. Too much damage. No fixing it.

All she could do was leave Cade with Dad.

And Cade? Even if his mom didn’t say it, from the neighbors’ gossip, from people’s spit and rumors, he’d already figured it all

out.

How could he not hate him?

As for me?

Did it work on me?

Not really.

Because I was still scared of Mom.

When she stood in front of me, face twisted, demanding to know what I’d done, I still felt my heart shake, felt blocked up, couldn’t breathe.

That fear seemed carved into my bones.

But I still walked up to her. Fists clenched. Said quietly, “I’ll support you. But only if you don’t mess with me. Otherwise you get nothing.”

Her lips shook. Pupils trembled.

For the first time, I saw fear in her eyes.

Suddenly, I felt calm.

So I told Cade, “Not totally useless.”

At least I felt good.

Cade snorted. Pushed a drink toward me.

“To the partnership.”

“I-”

“She’s not drinking.”

Finn appeared out of nowhere.

Since we signed the papers, I hadn’t seen him in days.

Twilight Pharma-he still owned shares. But he never came by once,

Like he’d vanished.

Now he was here. Face dark. Arm between me and Cade. Grabbed the drink. Downed it in one go.

Said again, “She’s not drinking.”

Cade laughed. Tongue against his cheek. Leaned back. Total smartass vibe.

“Back off.”

“Or that fancy suit’s gonna get trashed.”

That set Finn off. Fist clenched tight.

I sighed. Pressed my hand on his arm.
