Hannah’s steps faltered, her anxious expression freezing in place. She couldn’t understand what Rebecca
meant.
Rebecca had already stood up, holding Chester tightly.
“You think I took your place today, don’t you? But this was Chester’s choice! If there weren’t something wrong with your parenting, would he have chosen me and not wanted you to participate? If you’re unhappy, just tell me directly. I’d step aside without hesitation. But why did you take the chance to push Chester into the water? Did you think jumping in to save him would undo everything? Honestly, if you had just asked, I would have left long ago and never interfered. But you didn’t even care about his life. Someone like you doesn’t deserve to be Chester’s mom!”
Rebecca’s words had earlier made the crowd anxious to clear their names.
Now that someone had been accused, everyone turned to Hannah with blameful stares.
A battle between a wife and a mistress could be ruthless, but dragging them into it was unacceptable.
Even Christian was being criticized now.
The murmurs around them darkened Christian’s expression further and further.
A memory of the day Bobby died suddenly surfaced.
Hannah had been like a crazed beast, screaming that she would kill Rebecca.
That hysterical, unhinged look made him believe that if he hadn’t stopped her, Rebecca would have died on the spot.
To him, it had just been a dog. After fifteen days in confinement, he thought Hannah would have calmed down.
But he never expected that instead of reflecting, she had turned her resentment toward Chester.
Still, as his biological mom, she wouldn’t truly harm him. Instead, she must have taken advantage of the moment to teach him a lesson.
Rebecca, now in tears, choked out, “If I hadn’t noticed in time, were you planning to pin this crime on me? Hannah, a child should be cherished, not used to scheme against me!”
She clutched Chester tightly, sobbing uncontrollably.
Hannah, entirely focused on Chester, hadn’t immediately defended herself. But just as she moved to reach him, Christian stopped her.
Ethan, furious, jumped out and shoved Christian hard.
With hands on his hips, he shouted, “Mommy would never hurt Chester. She saved him! Are you all blind?”
Rebecca, tears streaming down her face, retorted, “But if she didn’t do it on purpose, why was she the only one to react and jump in so quickly?”
No one knew what she whispered to Chester, but the boy suddenly pointed at Hannah and wailed, “You’re

so mean! Why did you make me fall in? I’m scared of water the most!”
Hannah’s outstretched hand trembled.
At that moment, the wet clothes on her body felt like ice, freezing her heart solid.
If others misunderstood her, she could still accept it.
But Chester knew best how he had fallen in.
Not only did he refuse to clarify, but he also falsely accused her.

Rebecca pressed on, her voice sharp with anger. “Hannah, even if he is your biological son, what you did was illegal! I won’t let Chester suffer injustice for nothing!”
Chester clung tightly to Rebecca’s neck, sobbing, “Ms. Rebecca, you’re so nice to me… Why aren’t you my mommy?”
Hannah stood frozen, like a statue carved from ice.
The surrounding whispers grew louder, with many words too cruel to bear.
Christian, already simmering with rage, now had his fury ignited by his son’s accusation. His sharp gaze locked onto Hannah.
“Hannah, this time, you’ve gone too far! I never expected your heart to be this vicious. I was so wrong about you!”
His frigid aura felt as if it could kill.
Hudson’s expression darkened, and he reached out, pulling Hannah behind him. His eyes lifted, and he let out a cold scoff.
“Mr. Ford, did you forget to wring out your brain before you opened your mouth?”
Christian’s fury flared at the sight of Hudson shielding Hannah. It was as if a fire burned in his eyes.
“Hudson, this is my family matter. You’d better step aside!”
Hudson looked at him with open disdain.
“Ignorance isn’t a crime, but slandering someone is. Accusing someone without evidence is defamation, which is legally punishable. And for your information, Ms. Stone is a designer at my company. If this affects her reputation or damages our company’s image, I believe Whitmore Group’s legal team would be very interested in having a chat with you.”
He paused, his sharp features cold as frost.
“Besides…”
His deep gaze locked onto Christian.
“At today’s event, Mr. Ford, you should be well aware of who truly belongs to whom.”
Christian was momentarily speechless, his face darkening to the point where it almost dripped ink.

“Hannah, don’t forget whose wife you are!” he snapped.
Hannah, drowning in the pain of being rejected by her own son, finally came back to her senses.

In just this short moment, she felt as if she had cut into her own flesh and carved out her own bones.
The searing pain crashed through her nerves, making every cell in her body tremble.
But she clenched her teeth and endured it.
