"Does it matter? I''m already here," Yvonne said with an indifferent shrug. She casually tossed a printed contract onto his desk. She hadn''t just entered his office without permission; she had also found the contract he had been holding back.


    "You blocked my contract. What are you trying to pull?"


    “This reality show isn''t a good fit for you. I''ll have Sandra find you something else,” George said, showing no guilt for his actions. As her father, he believed he had the final say in her career. Queena was facing a massive online bacsh and


    desperately needed a positive, wholesome project to repair her image. This contract had to be hers.


    “A positive, military-themed show isn''t right for me, but it''s perfect for Queena? The illegitimate child of an affair? Does she even deserve it?" Yvonne sneered.


    "Shut your mouth! How dare you nder Queena!" George roared, his eyes zing with a fury that could have torn her apart.


    Yvonne met his gaze without flinching. "I''ve always wondered why you treat a foster daughter better than your own flesh and blood. So, I had a little DNA test done. Tell me, if your wife were to find out that Queena is your illegitimate daughter with Megan, do you think she''d tear you to shreds?"


    Not only had Yvonne done a DNA test, but she had also hired a private investigator to look into George and Megan''s past. It turned out they were from the same small town and had been ssmates from elementary through high school-childhood sweethearts.


    George was the ssic small-town


    boy who studied his way into a top university. By a stroke of luck, he met Teresa, the daughter of the prestigious James family. With his... handsome face, impressive degre and charming personality, he managed to win her over By marrying Teresa, he used her dowry and the James family''s influence to transform himself from a poor boy into the CEO of Nexus Media, leaping across social sses.


    Megan, on the other hand, wasn''t academically inclined and married young. Her husband, David Jones, was an abusive alcoholic, and she was miserable. So, she went running back to George. Unlike the prim and proper Teresa, who would never lower herself to dote on aman, Megan was soft, pitiful and


    George''s deepest need for


    masculine pride.


    Somehow, George had managed to carry on an affair with Megan for over a decade, right under Teresa''s nose. He had even swapped his and Teresa''s biological daughter with Megan''s to ensure his beloved mistress''s child could live the life of a princess.


    When Yvonneid out the DNA report and the investigator''s file in front of him, George''sposure finally shattered.


    "Yvonne, all you want is the reality show contract. Fine, you can have it," he said, his tone suddenly cating. "You''ve already sent Megan to prison. Let''s just leave the past in the past. Causing a scandal


    the Spencer family won''t do you any good either."


    "Since you''ve put it so nicely, Dad, I won''t be unreasonable," Yvonne replied with a smile. She gathered the papers from the desk, tore them in half, and dropped them into the trash can at her feet.
