“Do I really need to tell you?” Sander didn’t look up, his tone flat and detached. “As far as I remember, when I left for college, you made it pretty clear not to bother you with my life–you said you didn’t care and didn’t want to

know.”

“I know you’re angry with me, but I’m still your mother.”

Teresa didn’t seem ruffled by his coldness.

She reached into her purse for a cigarette but stopped herself midway.

“Having feelings for your cousin’s wife… it’s not the end of the world. But this involves the Moore family’s legacy. If word gets out, you won’t be able to contain the fallout.

“So tell me is Isabella’s child yours?”

Sander stayed silent for what felt like a long time.

Teresa grew uneasy. In her mind, not denying it was as good as confirmation.

“You can’t be serious. You actually went through with it? Have you lost your mind? Do you have any idea who Xavier is? Or what the Moores are capable of?”

She stood abruptly, snatched the papers from Sander’s hands, and slapped him across the face with them.

“Just because the Moores are untouchable doesn’t mean they get to walk all over everyone!”

Sander’s temper finally broke.

His eyes behind his glasses turned dark and hollow, sending a sudden chill down Teresa’s spine.

She knew her son’s nature. Outwardly he was calm and composed, but underneath, he never forgot a slight–he’d always find a way to settle the score.

In many ways, he was like Xavier: willing to do whatever it took to get what he wanted. The only real difference was that Sander cared even less about keeping up appearances.

“Besides,” Sander’s voice lowered again, each word sharp and icy, “it’s not like the Whitmans are still in a position to be afraid of Xavier or Moore Group.”

Teresa stared at him for a moment, then let out a bitter laugh.

She laughed until her shoulders shook, turning away briefly before facing him again, even clapping slowly in mock applause.

Sander spoke calmly, “If that’s all, you should leave. I have work to do. And next time, call before you come over.”

Oh, Sander, don’t get it twisted…”

Teresa was still laughing softly. When she met his gaze again, her eyes were glistening.

“Who said the Moores are walking alt over people? Hasn’t it always been your Whitman family that owes them?”

Her voice cracked as she pointed at him, as if he were some pathetic joke.

“Are you done? Had your fun?” Sander’s lips curled slightly too, though the corners trembled almost imperceptibly.

Teresa shook her head. “After hearing you say that, I could laugh for the rest of my life.

“How your family set me up back then… how your father trapped me… I’ve told you that story, haven’t I?

“Even when you were just a boy, I never sugarcoated the truth.”

Every word she spoke seemed to claw at old wounds Sander had long tried to bury.

She was right. From the time he was old enough to understand, Teresa had repeated that story to him.

A story about a man who took advantage of a woman who trusted him as a friend–all to serve his family’s interests.

One night, that man forced himself on her.

The scandal shamed her family, so they stripped away her freedom, her right to choose who to love. In the end, she was forced to marry him and carry his child.

On Sander’s fifth birthday, Teresa gave him a gift he’d never forget.

Looking him straight in the eye, she told him the man in the story was his father, and the woman was her.

His very existence was a mistake. An unforgivable one.

“That’s enough!”

Sander’s hand rose, but just as he was about to strike, he caught sight of Teresa’s red–rimmed eyes.

She kept smiling, almost as if she were waiting for the blow.

“Want to hit me? Why stop?”

The veins in Sander’s neck stood out.

He held his breath, struggling to steady himself, his chest rising and falling heavily.

“Just go. I have nothing else to say to you.”
