After struggling to control his anger, Ansel began to contemte. It was only now that Ansel noticed a suspicious coincidence. And he couldn’t help but suspect his mother:
“Mom, did you deliberately arrange for me to marry Desi?” Ansel looked at his mother, asking straightforwardly.
“What are you talking about, Ansel? Don’t mix up one thing with another.” Ansel’s question took Mrs. Hani aback for a moment, but due to her prior mental preparation, she immediately denied the usation.
“Let me tell the truth for everyone to know. That night, I wasn’t drunk; I was drugged. Then I was taken to a room where Desi was waiting.” Ansel smirked and continued, “I always thought Desi was the mastermind behind all of this. But to my surprise, you were also involved in this.”
Ansel stared directly at his mother as he spoke. At this point, Mrs. Hani could no longer conceal the truth, and she had no choice but toe clean.
“I did it all for you, my child.”
“For me?” Ansel asked mockingly, no longer having any respect for his mother. “That’s such a ludicrous reason. What benefit do I gain from your actions?”
“Ansel, I’m sorry. But I don’t have any other choice. I just want what’s best for you. I want you to have a deserving wife like Desi. That’s why…” Mrs. Hani tried to find words to appease Ansel but was unsessful as she was interrupted.
“Don’t make excuses anymore. With your actions causing this harm, I will not forgive you,” Ansel dered with determination. His voice was icy, and his eyes were filled with hatred. “I’ve told you many times that I will not marry Desi. But you still insist on forcing me, and you even came up with a despicable n to trap me. Both you and Desi are equally contemptible.”
Ansel’s unexpected and harsh reaction shocked Mrs. Hani. His biting words were like a knife stabbing into her heart.
“Ansel, how could you disrespect me like this? I am your mother!” Mrs. Hani eximed, expressing her disapproval. She felt that Ansel didn’t respect and appreciate her.
“I have doubts about you being my mother,” Ansel said anxiously. “Maybe I will proceed with a DNA test to verify.”
“Ansel, what are you talking about? Are you going crazy?” Mrs. Hani felt both horrified and angry upon hearing Ansel’s words.
“I’m not crazy; I ampletely serious about it,” Ansel replied coldly. “Your wrongful actions have forced me to do this. I want to know if you are my biological mother or not. Because no mother would sabotage the happiness and future of their own child.”
“Ansel, I never expected you to speak such vile words about me. What have I done wrong? Everything I did was for…” Mrs. Hani tried to control her emotions, attempting to justify herself.
“That’s enough. I don’t want to hear your foolish and unconvincing excuses anymore. Don’t talk to me again,” Ansel dered sternly.
“You…” Mrs. Hani was left speechless and powerless to respond.This is from N?velDrama.Org.
“What about me? A wicked and cruel person like you has no right to speak.” Ansel red, no longer recognizing that Mrs. Hani was his mother. “If you dare utter another word, I will make you regret it.”
Mrs. Hani and Ansel locked eyes with thick tension between them.
“Hani, please stop. What you’re doing ispletely wrong. Now you’re even forcing Ansel to obey you, and that’s not the way to resolve the issue. On the contrary, it only makes the situation worse,” Mr. Brown said, requesting his wife. Mrs. Hani had to listen to her husband, reluctantly maintaining her silence. Meanwhile, Erica dealt with Ansel’s hot-tempered nature.
“Calm down, Ansel. Don’t get agitated.” Erica once again soothed Ansel. Her gentle hand continuously stroked his back. This action made Ansel feel more at ease, and the tension on his face gradually subsided.
Silence could not interject because as soon as Ansel and Mrs. Hani stopped speaking, Mrs. Emily jumped in:
“No more talking; now that everything has been revealed, Ansel, you must…”
“Forget about it; I won’t do what you all say,” Ansel confidently dered. “The truth is, I didn’t touch Desi, and I wasn’t at the hotel that night.”
“Ansel, stop denying it!” Mrs. Hani involuntarily eximed, “You must take responsibility for the consequences you’ve caused! Don’t try to evade your own responsibilities like a coward! I know what I did was wrong, and I will take responsibility for it. You should do the same for getting Desi pregnant.”
“Enough! You continue to disappoint me,” Ansel shouted. “You’ve allied with the enemy to harm your own son and have the nerve to believe it’s for my benefit. It’s utterly absurd. Before lecturing me on morals and trying to manipte me, take a moment to reflect on your role as a mother. Even if your usations are true, I won’t ept responsibility for them. What can you possibly do about it?”
Mrs. Hani continued to be shocked, her mouth agape, unable to utter a word. She never expected Ansel to react so vehemently.
“Ansel, don’t raise your voice at Aunt Hani.” Desi felt it was unfair to Mrs. Hani, so she spoke up in defense. “She’s not wrong.”
“Keep quiet!” Ansel snapped at Desi. “There’s no ce for you to speak up here.”
Desi swallowed her fear in the face of Ansel’s menacing gaze and remained silent. Seeing her daughter being intimidated, the mother couldn’t stand idly by any longer and finally spoke up.
Mrs. Emily reproached Ansel, saying, “How dare you bully Desi, you despicable person?” However, Ansel paid no attention to her. Sensing Ansel’s disdain, Mrs. Emily decided to direct her anger towards an important person in Ansel’s life.
“Ansel, you stubbornly refuse to admit what you’ve done. Is it all because of this girl?” Mrs. Emily shouted, pointing directly at Erica’s face. “What is it that makes you willing to be such a terrible, despicable person?”
Before Ansel or Erica could respond and while Mrs. Emily continued her aggressive behavior, Desi’s sudden, uncontroble sobbing drew everyone’s attention. Desi’s actions subsequently shocked everyone as she tightly grasped Erica’s hands and pleaded.
“Erica, I beg you, please release Ansel. I am willing to give you any amount of money you desire, and I will fulfill your requests. I just implore you to please give Ansel back to me. I don’t want my child to grow up without a father.”
Erica, unprepared for this situation, felt overwhelmed and stood frozen, unsure of how to respond.
“What on earth are you doing, Desi?” Ansel intended to intervene and stop Desi’s actions. However, he was toote. Before Erica could react, Desi dropped to her knees and clung to Erica’s legs, sobbing uncontrobly.
“Please, Erica, don’t let my innocent child grow up without a father. You’ve experienced the pain of growing up without parents, so you understand how it feels, right? A child without a father will inevitably face mockery, discrimination, and injustice. That’s why…”
“Desi, that’s enough! Let go of Erica right now!” Ansel angrily reprimanded Desi for daring to mention Erica’s emotional wounds. However, ignoring Ansel’s words, Desi stubbornly clung to Erica’s legs and continued her pleas:
“Erica, please. I can’t live without Ansel. Please don’t separate us. Have mercy on the unborn child. Let them have aplete family with both a father and a mother.” Desi’s voice choked with tears, and those witnessing couldn’t discern the truth but couldn’t help but feel sympathy.
“Desi, why do you have to beg her? Stand up quickly; don’t embarrass yourself like this.” Mrs. Emily expressed her confusion, wanting to step forward and pull Desi to her feet.
“No, Mom, it’s not allowed.” Desi shook her head, speaking through her tears. “I have to beg Erica. Because she is the one Ansel loves the most. Only she can convince Ansel toe back to me. Only she can help my child have a father.”
Desi’s cunning tactics trapped Erica in a deeply troubling situation, leaving her maniptive. It was clear that Desi intentionally orchestrated this scenario to achieve her own objectives and undermine Erica in front of Ansel’s parents. Each choice Erica made at this moment carried significant risks and had serious consequences. Desi was undeniably crafty in creating this scandal.
