Part 2He Proposed After I Married His Dad

I stated frankly.

“Of course, we’re getting married in seven days.”

Julian’s voice instantly rose.

“Whose bastard? Or some nouveau riche from a backwater town?”

Willow tried to smooth things over.

“Julian, Stella must have done some escort work because of her financial difficulties, and this marriage is just an excuse.”

“You shouldn’t rub it in.”

“Stella, you shouldn't keep things from some random guy, it'll just upset Julian.”

Saying this, Willow yanked my diamond ring off, about to flush it down the toilet.

I grabbed Willow’s wrist, and in the struggle, the diamond ring fell to the floor.

Julian picked up the ring, and at that moment, he saw the birthdays of me and another person engraved on it.

Nineteen seventy-five.

“You actually slept with a fifty-year-old old man for money!”

“Who is he? I’ll make him wish he’d never been born right now!”

Julian’s expression was icy, and he advanced on me step by step.

“Even if you don't tell me, I can have people find out. Anyone who dares to touch my woman, I'll utterly destroy them!”

I stared at him and chuckled.

I wondered what Arthur would think if he heard such disrespectful words from his adopted son.

I composed myself and said seriously.

“Your dad.”

Julian punched the wall, gritting his teeth.

“You think you can fool me? What kind of woman hasn't my dad seen? How could he possibly be interested in a woman like you, with no background and no looks!”

Willow seized the opportunity to agree, her tone laced with provocation.

“Stella, Julian has always kept the wife’s position open for you. How can you be so shameless?”

Julian’s eyes were bloodshot, and he spoke with a mixture of hatred and grievance.

“You couldn’t even wait three short years, you degraded yourself to become someone else’s plaything! Do you really believe that no matter what you do, I’ll always have your back?”

“My reputation, Julian Vance’s reputation, is completely ruined because of you!”

He gasped for breath, as if making a monumental concession.

“Since you’re so shameless, don’t bother with the cathedral. There’s a villa in the Northside you can move into, and I’ll spend one day a weekend with you from now on.”

“Once you’re my woman, I’ll reward you with a villa for every child you bear.”

I laughed, truly exasperated.

So, I went from being his “sought-after” wife to a hidden mistress, and now a tool to bear his children?

Willow leaned close to my ear, lowering her voice, her smile growing more triumphant.

“Have a child, Stella. You get a house, we get a child. Once we have a child, we can find a way to get rid of that tramp around his father, so they don’t threaten Julian’s position.”

My expression was strange.

The "tramp" Willow spoke of, wasn’t that me?

After all this commotion, Julian wanted me to have his child to use against myself and my son?

Just then, Julian called over Mr. Davis, pointing at me.

“Give her an intern position, so she doesn’t sneak into the company with a stolen employee card and embarrass me!”

Mr. Davis didn’t even glance at Julian but hurried to my side and bowed respectfully.

“Vice President Vance, Mr. Arthur has instructed that you have full authority over all company matters.”

I simply hummed in acknowledgment.

Julian stood rooted to the spot, looking as if he’d seen a ghost.
