Chapter 151 

“ Your son is a lost cause .

Even if he doesn’t get into trouble , he won’t amount to much ” 

This was the first time Rupert didn’t side with Althea .

In the past , no matter how poor Caellan’s grades were or what conflicts arose older brothers , he would never scold him .

 

with his two 

At least he would come forward and say that Caellan was still young and ask the others to go easy on him .

Now , Rupert had the heart to say 

Chellan was a lost cause 

This meant that Caellan truly had no place in the 

company .

 

that 

“ Honey , this isn’t what you promised me when you married me .

When I was pregnant with Caellan , I said if you didn’t acknowledge him , I wouldn’t give birth to him ! ” 

But you said since he was a son , he had to be born as par of the Drayton family ! And now , you want to abandon us ? 1 should never have believed your lica .

 

The more Rupert listened , the more annoyed he became .

He slowly turned down the volume .

 

Althea kept repeating the same sentences , wondering why Rupert hadn’t given in to her yet .

 

Instead , he said , “ You didn’t tell the you were already married back then .

I thought you Oh , what did I say ? ” 

The pause extremely hit Althea right in the heart because she had been married and had a child before .

 

Initially , Rupert thought that since both of them were in their second marriages , there was nothing much to mind .

 

But now , he was looking back 

Valerie not only looked beautiful , but also had an incredibly powerful family background .

Not to mention , many of her firsts were with him : 

He once had such a perfect woman , but now , at his second marriage , he ended up with someone who was nothing but a useless person who only .

knew how to act spoiled .

 

The more Rupert thought about it , the more he felt it wasn’t worth it .

Back in the day , he was a famous eligible bachelor in Stoneford .

He couldn’t believe how he ended up marrying the second – hand goods .

 

Memories from the past suddenly surged back .

 

“ You were the one who barged into my room when I was drunk , and you got pregnant because you didn’t take birth controll ” 

“ Besides , you weren’t even divorced at that time , were you ? What was your intention of not taking birth control ? Had you planned this all along ? ” 

On the other end of the phone , Althea was in shock , her mouth agape .

Her usually sharp mind was completely stalled at that moment .

 

Only one thought rose in her mind .

When did this self – righteous fool become so smart ? 

She began to wonder .

 

It seemed that Elysia had come back and told him something 

Or maybe something in the livestream made him notice that something was off .

 

Thinking of this , Althea felt an eve 

an even stronger wave of panic .

 

It was over .

She would have been completely finished if anything else had been dug up .

She wished Elysia had just died 

After all , Elysia had given her heart to Fenwick .

 

Now , Althea was just afraid she would forced to flee the country like Rowena .

 

Besides , the simple – minded and physically strong Caellan would not possibly outsmart his two cunning brothers .

 

If so , her entire later life would be ruined .

 

As she was lost in her wild thoughts , Rupert had already hung up the phone .

Just then , another call from an unknown number came in .

 

Althea was already in a terrible mood , so she hung up the call without a second thought .

However , the caller was persistent and called again .

 

She rolled her eyes and finally answered the call .

2:31 PM c 

Chapter 151 

Just as she was about to ask who it was , the other person eagerly spoke .

 

“ Mom ! It’s Rowenal Can you come to Hilton Hotel in Stoneford to help me pay for the hotel ? Dad froze my card ! ” 

“ Hilton Hotel in Stoneford 

Althea was well aware that the hotel charged 15 thousand dollars per night .

 

She thought .

“ This foolish girl hasn’t even left the country , but she’s already out of money .

It is only a matter of time before she is caught in the country for the crime she committed before , I can’t have anything to do with her , ” 

More importantly , this woman had once poisoned Caellan , almost making him a useless blind man .

 

“ No way .

I am .

 

Althea had originally intended to bluntly refuse , but the words got stuck in her throat and she couldn’t bring herself to say them .

 

She hesitated halfway through because she suddenly remembered what Rowena had done to Elysia over the years .

 

It was best not to provoke this crazy woman unless necessary .

 

She pretended not to recognize Rowena .

“ I won’t be deceived , my daughter has already gone abroad , you liars are getting more and more rampant , don’t try to deceive me ! ” 

At the critical moment , Rowena shouted , “ Mom , I know your secret ! Don’t hang up .

 

This stopped Althea’s movement and she furrowed her brow .

 

The next second , Rowena sud unhurriedly 

“I know that Valerie’s death has something to do with you .

 

She whispered these sentences , covering her mouth with her hand because the hotel front desk was nearby .

She didn’t know if the person might recognize her , and she didn’t want them to overhear ber .

After all , she was an actress with millions of fans .

 

At that moment .

Rowena had no idea that half the world now recognized her .

 

But it wasn’t because of lier celebrity status .

 

“ How do you know that ” 

Althea shouted in disbelief , her sharp voice piercing through the receiver .

The receptionist , who had been eavesdropping nearby , couldn’t help but overhear their conversation 

She thought .

It seems like Rowena’s mother has some secrets 

As a human being , it was nonnal to have some secrets , but the level of horror in Althea’s reaction was far from normal .

 

Rowena saw the receptionist getting closer and immediately pushed her away , scolding her .

 

“ Why are you getting so close ? I’ll get the money from my mom and pay you right away .

Now , stay away from me ! ” 

The receptionist grumbled inwardly .

 

“ That’s not it , this is my work phone .

Oh , damn .

As a hotel receptionist , how could I forget to set up the automatic call recording feature ? 

As a receptionist , it was within her right to report suspicious behavior .

If she felt something was off , especially with such a dramatic situation , calling the authorities was definitely an option .

 

On the contrary , when Althea heard this , her heart raced uncontrollably .

She was anxious and furious , wanting to yell at Rowena , but because of what Rowena had just said , she could only suppress her voice .

 

“ Why didn’t you mention someone was with you earlier ? She didn’t hear you , right ? ” 

Rowena muttered softly , “ Mm – hmm .

” 

“ Mom , I’m trapped in a hotel right now .

They’re extorting me ! They’re charging me thousands of dollars for wine .

 

“ Enough ! Don’t say all this nonsense , just tell me how much you need , and I’ll transfer it to you right now , 

Althea didn’t want to hear about what she had suffered at all .

She was solely focused on shutting her up as quickly as possible .

 

Chapter 151 

It would be best to replace a way to make her disappear too .

 

That way , the secret could remain a secret forever .

 

After all , Rowena was just the child of a rapist at that .

Besides , Althea already had Caellan now .

 

Although Caellan was a bit slow , at least he wouldn’t threaten her .

Unlike Rowena , keeping her around was like buying a ticking time bomb for herself 

“ Tell me , how much do you need ! Once I transfer the money , keep your mouth shut and stay abroad .

Don’t come back ” 

Althea believed she had fulfilled her maternal duties to the utmost .

She hadn’t aborted Rowena , nor had she left her with that perverted man .

Now , she just wanted her to leave Fuvre .

 

But what Althea didn’t realize was that instead of feeling grateful , Rowena actually harbored some resentment .

 

In the beginning , they were on the same side .

With her childlike innocence , she helped her mother build a closer relationship with her brothers , quickly getting them to accept their “ new mom “.

 

Besides , her mother would always speak well of her in front of Rupert , ensuring the stayed with the Drayton family , rather than being taken away by Yale .

 

But now her mother’s heart was completely occupied by Caellan , leaving no room for her at all .

 

Since that’s the case , she would no longer hold back .

 

Three million dollars .

” 

“I don’t have that much 

Althea quickly replied decisively as soon as she heard that amount .

However , Althea not only stood her ground but also dramatically increased her demand by five times : 

“ 15 million dollars , or else the footage of you stealing Valerie’s life – saving medicine and pushing her onto the road to be run over will be broadcast on screens nationwide .

” 

“ Since Elysia can extract memories , so can L.

That scene is still vivid in my mind .

If we’re going down , we’ll go a down together 

This was a complete act of desperation , Rowena’s goal was simple .

She just wanted money 

“Don’t go too far .

I am your mother ? ” Althea almost couldn’t help her temper .

 

But now that Rowena had the memory extractor , she had something on her .

Even if she wanted to lose her temper, she had to hold back and appçal to family ties .

 

“ Rowena , I really don’t have that much money right now .

How about 15 million dollars ? Once your brother inherits the Drayton Group’s business , we’ll bring you back immediately .

Then , you can ask him for as much as you want ” 

“ Caellan 

Rowena smirked .

Of course , she had called that foolish brother first to ask for money .

But he instead replied .

 

[ I’d rather throw the money into a stinking ditch than give you a single cent .

Rowena , go to hell I don’t have a vicious sister like you’l 

Rowena only regretted not poisoning him to death back then , only blinding him .

 

All these years , she had been painstakingly leading Fenwick astray and keeping him away from the company’s management , just to reduce a competitor .

 

As for Torin , she hadn’t neglected him either .

She looked up various unhealthy recipes online and personally delivered them to the company .

 

Just as the plan was about to succeed , Stellan showed up with that annoying extractor .

 

That ruined all her plans .
