Clara didn't beat around the bush. She told the mistress straight up that Greysen had splurged millions on jewelry for his wife, who was also expecting a baby. This mistress had been by Greysen’s side for years, always claiming she didn’t care about money, just love, and rarely getting much out of it.
She was the kind of woman who was easy to like—understanding, charming—so their affair still felt passionate and fresh. Women who are head-over-heels in love are pretty easy to manipulate. Just tell her Greysen’s wife is pregnant again, and she'd completely lose it.
She had always wanted a child with Greysen, but he was practical enough to know that a kid would just complicate things. So, even though their relationship was intense, she never ended up pregnant. She tried countless times without any protection, hoping for a baby, but it never happened. Now hearing that Greysen’s nearly fifty-year-old wife was pregnant drove her over the edge.
In less than half an hour, she stormed over to Greysen’s house. His wife, unaware of the mistress’s existence, quickly got into a physical fight with her. And with Jacob acting hysterically, the Simpson household was thrown into complete turmoil.
Greysen was almost at work when he got a call that forced him to turn back. He heard Jacob had run off because of the fight between the two women. Panicked, he called Tyler, asking him to hold off for a few more hours. When he got home in a hurry, both women had bruises from their brawl.
The young mistress immediately burst into tears when she saw him. Greysen felt a headache coming on, his expression sour. “Where’s Chris?”
He doted on his son immensely and fully supported his entertainment career, even though wealthy families usually looked down on celebrities. But if his son wanted to pursue it, Greysen was all in. Even after Jacob’s face got messed up, Greysen only thought of what was best for him.
