After 20 years of DINK, the company is going public.

On this day, my husband showed up at home with a pair of twins.

"Audrey, this is my child. He is already 22 years old. We are also old enough. It is time to hand over the company to them."

I looked at Frederick Ashworth in shock. He avoided my gaze and said that he had a child for me, and then he said it was an accident.

But he forgot that it was he who was afraid that I would suffer and held DINK.

Finally he uttered,

"If you don't agree, we can get divorced and each of us will get half of the company."

He pulled the twins up and said threateningly,

"You can't take the company and shares with you into your coffin. You should be grateful that I had the foresight to give birth to these two children."

Hearing his threat, I turned around and dialed a number.

"Grant, immediately make my DNA information public to the world. I want to find all my children back!"

The next day, the twins sat at the dining table waiting for me and handed me a share transfer document.

"Ms. Sterling, we are Dad's children, and as his spouse, we should have the right of inheritance."

"You are old and don't have any children of your own. If you can treat us well, we will respect you and take care of you until the end of your life."

Looking at the face that was 50% similar to Frederick, my eyes fell straight on his face.

A guilty look flashed across his face, and he just looked at the table, not at me.

At this point, there is still something I don’t understand.

"Frederick, do you think you are qualified to branch out?"

"A pair of illegitimate children, do you think they are qualified to inherit Sterling Global Group?"

Since getting married, Frederick has not gone out to work for a single day, citing poor health as an excuse.

Either they go on inspection trips or they travel abroad for fun.

It was me who worked day and night, drank until I vomited blood, and founded Sterling Global Group.

The four of them sat at the dining table, the air fell into silence, and the boy spoke,

"Ms. Sterling, since you don't accept us, we won't force you to be our relative. We just want to inherit Dad's assets."

The girl also spoke,

"According to the law, we can't inherit your property, but as long as dad divorces you, we can still split it in half. You might as well be generous and take the initiative to recognize us and let us inherit the company. For dad's sake, we won't kick you out when we get old."

During the eye contact between the three of them, I kept sneering and remained silent.

They have been patient for twenty-two years, and now they dare to appear at home openly. They have studied the law thoroughly and calculated the timing well.

If they divorce, Frederick will really take away half of the assets, and not only will the company lose its boss, but all the previous investments will also be wasted.

They are so calculating and vicious.

In the cold atmosphere, Frederick began to scold the two children.

"Silas, don't talk to Ms. Sterling like that. Ms. Sterling doesn't have her own children, so how could she not love you?"

After saying this, he looked at me apologetically.

"Wife, look at how things have come to this. Silas Ashworth and Sienna Ashworth both graduated from prestigious schools in California. They are filial and sensible. You must have a successor."

"As long as you give them the company, they will be your children and will definitely take care of you in your old age."

I sneered. My husband cheated on me and gave birth to an illegitimate child. I should be grateful to him for leaving me with descendants. Otherwise, I would have been thrown on the street to pick up trash when I get old.

After twenty years of marriage, looking at Frederick who is well-maintained and still young, I realized that I am getting old.

I looked at them and asked the heart-piercing question,

"Where's your biological mother?"

Silas curled his lips, with a look of understanding.

"Ms. Sterling, my mother is abroad and won't be back for the time being. I don't want to make you sad."

I squinted at the young man dressed in trendy brands. After twenty years in the business world, it's not that I can't see the mockery in his eyes, but if his mother comes back, I'll be jealous, noisy and sad.

He raised his chin slightly and looked at me with disdain.

"Ms. Sterling, you are old, so stop arguing about love. It's embarrassing to talk about it at your age."

A bastard, this is taking advantage of me, all so arrogant.

I sneered.

"Then your biological mother is not capable of making you rich and powerful, and making you recognize me as your mother. Isn't it embarrassing to tell others about it?"

Frederick looked unhappy, but he didn't lose his temper yet. Silas slammed the table.

"Audrey Sterling!"

The soup splashed on my face and I looked at them calmly.

Frederick said dissatisfiedly,

"Audrey, how can you say that about Luna? She gave up her career and raised two children at home. She has suffered a lot. How can you humiliate her in front of the children?"

Sienna stood up in a Chanel suit and looked at me with a haughty expression.

"What's the point of arguing? Although my mother doesn't make money, she has my father's love, and she still has us. When we get the company, she will have everything."

"If anyone dares to disrespect my mother, my brother and I don't mind breaking your legs."

I looked at the indignant expressions of the two children. Now the illegitimate child has become so arrogant. Frederick is really amazing.

Frederick hurriedly persuaded the two children not to be impulsive, and patiently explained to me,

"Audrey, you see now, the two children are indeed filial children. If you love them like a mother in the future, they will naturally protect you as they would their own mother."

"Luna had a hard time too. We were both drunk and had a child by accident. I wanted to abort the child, but she persuaded me to stop. She promised that it would not affect my marriage to you and that she would raise the child herself."

"Audrey, you should also understand Luna. She is just soft-hearted and can't bear to hurt two innocent lives. Without her, Silas and Sienna wouldn't even have the chance to be born..."

Frederick's eyes turned red and he choked up as he spoke.

Listening to his rebellious words, my heart was about to explode. I asked one last question without giving up.

"What do you want?"

Frederick mumbled for a long time, making a mosquito-like sound.

"Luna has also been abroad for more than 20 years, and the two children are used to living with her. I want to give her the villa in the suburbs. I will go there to accompany them on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and come back to accompany you on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. I will do whatever I feel like on Sundays."

I clenched my fists tightly, no longer holding on to the last glimmer of hope.

"Since you want your family to be together, let's get a divorce.

Frederick's face changed.

"Audrey, I told you it was just an accident. I still love you. We have been married for twenty years. Are you really willing to divorce me?"

I interrupted him, spraying every word in his face.

"Frederick, you want to be president? You are so shameless!"

Over the years, he has used my money to support his mistress and illegitimate child, and now he wants to have another family outside of his own, and let me continue to be his scapegoat.

The two illegitimate sons looked at me with disdain and contempt, but I am not blind. I don’t know how many years they have been laughing at me behind my back.

I was thinking that if it was really an accident, I could just give it some money and get rid of it.

After all, it was me who fell in love with Frederick and had loved him for twenty years. Even though I was in pain, I was willing to give him a chance.

But now it seems that it was all wishful thinking on my part. All he had in his eyes and heart was Luna Perez and the child.

He doesn't want to divorce, not because he can't bear to leave me, but because he can't bear to give up me, his cash cow.

Seeing my harsh words, Frederick's face darkened, and he finally gritted his teeth and used his trump card.

"Audrey, if you really want a divorce, I will take half of the family property, and you can forget about listing the company."

Frederick's calculation was brilliant. He knew the company was like my child. I poured all my energy into it. I had been preparing for the listing for three years.

He bet that I couldn't bear to leave him and the company, so I would definitely give in.

But he doesn’t know that my children are not just the company, but countless children.

Seeing my dark face, Frederick softened his voice and tried to comfort me.

"Audrey, you know I love you, otherwise I wouldn't have left my child to be with you for twenty years."

"I just made a mistake, it doesn't mean I don't love you anymore."

"You said that when you get old, you would give up the company and accompany me to see the mountains and rivers of the motherland. Now we have an heir, and he will help you manage the company. They have my blood in their veins and their character is clear. It is better to hand it over to outsiders. ..."

Frederick persuaded me slowly and told me all kinds of reasons. If he hadn't glanced at the child, I would have believed him a little.

The calculation that flashed across the three people's eyes could not be hidden.

When he proposed DINK, he was waiting for this day, when I would be too old and no longer have the chance to have children.

He used coercion, seduction, and his illegitimate child with his mistress to successfully take away everything I had.

You are laughing at me behind my back, saying that you are a pig and a love-brained person, and you deserve to live out your life alone.

In my silence, several people left happily.

The circle of friends shows the joyful pictures of a family of three shopping, and the pictures of 999 roses at the airport welcoming the glorious return of the little lover.

Frederick didn't come home for three days in a row. I knew he was living in his suburban villa and didn't want to leave.

Frederick sent me a message every day, asking me to complete the equity transfer as soon as possible, and each time he added a "moo da" emoticon.

"Honey, Luna just came back and everything is unfamiliar to her. I'll go back to be with you after I finish arranging things here. I love you."

I watched coldly as Frederick bought a luxury car and a famous watch for Luna, and watched him proudly show off in his circle of friends.

Caption: After twenty years of being together through thick and thin, I can finally hug you openly.

Scumbags are not only scheming, but also good at hiding. After twenty-two years, he finally doesn't have to pretend anymore.

I just calmly gave his circle of friends a like.

My attitude made them feel that I had given in, and that it was a foregone conclusion that the twins would be brought to the company.

After all, even if we get divorced, I'll be left with nothing, so it's better to please them and have more relatives.

Besides, I am already over fifty. What’s the use of having more money? I don’t have any blood relatives of my own.

Frederick has already started contacting journalists and looking for a venue to hold a press conference.

Secretary Grant Caldwell came to pick me up with a pile of documents. Frederick smiled and told me,

"You need to be more careful when the company goes public. If it succeeds, the market value will increase by 100 million, and it will be easier for Silas Sienna to take over."

Grant agreed with a smile,

"Yes, it will definitely be easier if you have relatives. After all, they are blood relatives."

Frederick didn't understand the hidden meaning in Grant's words and thought I had already told Grant.

After all, Grant has been with me since he graduated from college, serving as both my secretary and my personal assistant. Even though he is almost 40 years old, he has never been married.
