Chapter 367
"Four years ago, when Haley gave birth, those two children were indeed pronounced dead," Emily said, kneeling on the ground with tears streaming down her face, her voice hoarse and choking, her body trembling on the verge of collapse. "That night, the DeRoss family mansion was engulfed in a fire, everything was lost, and we all thought Haley died... But then, those supposedly deceased children miraculously survived... With Haley gone and the children having lost their biological mother, their lives were bound to be tough... I was their aunt, so I took them to the Winston family to find their birth father. What's wrong with that?"
"At the time, I thought Keith and Owen were the only lineages left by my sister, so I faked the paternity test results and sought them out. I wanted to be the mother of those children; I wanted to protect them in my sister's stead. Was that really so wrong? For four years, I gave up my youth for those kids—I may have been at fault, but without me, they wouldn't have had a mother. I filled the void in their lives, ensuring they grew up in a complete family. Where did I go so wrong?" With that, Emily covered her face and sobbed uncontrollably.
Ivan watched her with a cold, indifferent gaze. He was astonished at how this womanEmily could articulate such vanity and deceit as if they were noble causes.
He needed to give it some serious thought about how to make this womanher pay the price.
A vicious glint surfaced in Ivan's eyes as his lips curled into a smirk.
Emily had been with him for four years; how could she be oblivious to his natureshe fully knew Ivan’s personality.?
She had played him for four years, and he would not let her get away with it, nor would he spare the DeRoss family.
All she could do now was try to appease him and then pack up her things as quickly as possible to leave Cuenca, the land of trouble.
"Ivan, I have made many mistakes, but I truly love our two children, and I really love you," Emily paused and continued, "But Haley, she could never love you. She's very calculating, getting close to you to take Owen and Keith away from you... It would help if you stayed away from Haley. She's too cruel, and she'll seek revenge for what happened five years ago."
Ivan stomped down on Emily's leg.
He disdained bullying women, but Emily was too detestable. Even having his people handle her wouldn't quell his burning resentment.
"Ivan, don't you trust me? I have a recording to prove it!"
Emily, enduring the pain, hurriedly picked up her phone.
She had happened to record her conversation with Haley the previous night.
"You don't like Ivan?"
"If it weren't for the kids, I wouldn't have anything to do with him."
The conversation played clearly from the phone.
Even though Ivan knew that Haley had agreed to be his girlfriend because of the children, hearing such words from her mouth still irritated him.
He had developed feelings for that woman.
But she hadn't taken him to heart at all.
During her negotiation with Emily, she remained composed and rational, with everything revolved around the children.
It seemed she didn't even see him as a personcare about he.
Moreover, she had known all along that he was the father of the children, yet she never came to tell him.
What was he in her eyes?
In the brief moment Ivan was stunned, Emily clutched her phone and ran out in a panic.
The servants at the door were so frightened they made way for her to pass.
Emily snatched the car keys and crashed the car as she drove off.
She couldn't stay here any longer; she couldn't be alone with Ivan anymore – it could cost her life...
Ivan stood in the DeRoss family's living room, idly twirling his fingers.
As he closed his eyes, the faces of Angela and Todd appeared before him – his real son and daughter...
