He was saving hispany for his other son toe back and manage.


    He felt like aplete fool. He had thought he could get more out of Wendy, but instead, she was now facing a billion-dor debt. It was infuriating.


    Suddenly, his phone rang.


    He picked it up.


    "Hello?"


    "Nathan, your wife borrowed fifty million from me, and I need the money back by tomorrow. I heard herpany went bankrupt, so what about my money...?"


    "Mr. Monroe, how should I know? It''s not like I have the money to pay you back. I wasn''t the one who borrowed it. Go ask the person who did."


    "We''re divorced. Her business has nothing to do with me."


    "What the hell, Nathan? You owe everything you have today to your wife! You''ve never aplished anything in business; she was the one who sealed most of your deals. Now that herpany is in trouble, you''re just going to turn around and divorce her? It''s true what they say you can''t trust a man who marries into money."


    The man on the other end hung up in disgust.


    Nathan''s face was a mask of humiliation. He hated it most when people called him a kept husband, saying everything he had was thanks to Wendy.


    It was the truth, but he refused to admit it.


    He red at Wendy, his eyes zing with fury. "Wendy, we are getting divorced tomorrow morning. You''ll sign the papers whether you want to or not. Our rtionship is broken. You have to divorce me."


    Wendy''s resolve was just as firm. "Nathan, I will not divorce you. Absolutely not. I let you enjoy a life of luxury for all these years, so you have to help me pay off my debts."


    “Bah! You shameless, wretched thing! You''ve ruined yourself, and now you want to drag my son down with you? Dream on!"


    "If you don''t go through with the divorce tomorrow, I''ll tell everyone that you gave all your money to your boy toys to ruin my son."


    "And take your four bastards with you when you get out." The old woman was adamant. The divorce had to happen.


    Tears welled,


    din Colin''s eyes, and his voice was filled with anguish. "Grandma, som your eyes, we''ve always just been bastards give you a thousand dors of my own money every month, and this is how you treat me?"


    The old woman''s face was grim. This Colin was another disappointment. How could hepare to her brilliant grandson from her other son?


    That grandson gave her ten thousand a month. What was a thousand dors inparison?


    With that assurance, the old woman was more than ready to cut ties with these useless money pits.


    Colin''s heart ached. So, there really were fathers and families this cruel in the world.


    Colin looked at Nathan, his tone icy. "Nathan, if you disliked us so much, why did you have us?"


    “Hey, it''s not my fault your mother wanted to. She was the one who wanted to have you kids. What could I do?"


    Nathan shifted all the me onto Wendy.


    Wendy looked at her son. "Do you want toe with me?"


    Colin shook his head. His mother knew what he was nning, and this was the only thing he could do fore her. He said quietly, "I''m sorry, Mom. You have nothing now I don''t want go with you. I want to stay with


    Dad."


    Wendy closed her eyes in pain. Colin wanted to help her, but he was no match for Joanna.


    Still, she had to y her part. She yelled at her son, "Colin, you''re so ungrateful!"


    Colin''s heart felt like it was being


    squeezed. Ashamed, he lowered his


    head and forced out the


    dout the words


    沖


    Mom. I... I can''t live without


    Ya and Dad."
