Love At The Right Price

Chapter 1 Illegitimate Child

hurt your family?”Evan’s laugh was demented. “Your father, nice to me? In order to force me to marry you, he caused Lily to miscarry. That baby was my first child!”Tamara smiled bitterly. Her eyes were wet with tears. Child? Lily’s baby was his? So, this twisted pair were already in league with each other long ago. And I was the only one being so stupidly lied to. She trusted Evan unhesitatingly, and she even praised Evan in front of her father, telling him how nice and capable Evan was.Evan smoothed out the wrinkles in his suit before looking at her hatefully. Then, he smiled elegantly. “I have even more surprising news: your father died last night. I have already bought out Randall Industries. Everything that Randall Industries owns is in my hands. If it wasn’t for my wish to torture you, I would have already sent you to meet your maker last night along with your father!”Tamara’s eyes were bloodshot as she charged over shamelessly and threw a slap at Evan’s face. She wept as she howled in fury. “You animal! You’re inhuman!”Evan exploded from being slapped. He slapped her back, his hand landing right on Tamara’s face, and her cheek instantly swelled, reddened from the hit. Enraged, he sneered. “Get her to a mental facility and lock her up. She’s not to leave the facility ever again.”Tamara had no idea how long she had spent inside the mental facility. From the nurses’ idle gossip, she found out that Randall Industries had gone bankrupt, and her nude photos had spread like wildfire. Everyone spat at her—she had such an excellent man for a husband, and yet she cheated on him, making her father so angry that he died.All of Evan’s wrongdoings were blamed on her instead.Suddenly, someone shouted from outside, “Fire! There’s a fire!”Soon, thick smoke seeped into the room through the windows.“Evan and Lily Hardy, I curse you two to die a painful death!” Tamara’s eyes were filled with hatred as she stood in the sea of flames.Five years later, Tamara stood by the entrance to the airport in Deacon Town with sunglasses on her face. Her long, slightly wavy hair swept past her shoulders. She had on a simple white blouse, and her jeans encased her long, slender legs perfectly. Her skin was clear and flawless, and her proportions were outstanding. Her lovely appearance drew everyone’s attention at the airport. She held her phone in one hand and held a child’s hand in the other. The child was dressed in a tiny suit.“I see. Stop the merging of the company with the Hardy Group. There’s no need to bother with the people at Hardy.” A cold smile appeared on Tamara’s lips.It had been many years, but she was back at last.Tamara ended her call and stroked the little boy’s head. “Mommy recently spent a few billion to acquire a company. You’ll have to budget your dividends properly and make it last until next month, okay?”The little boy’s features were delicate and handsome. After listening to her, he slowly spoke. “Mommy, you should be the one spending less. There are plenty of sports cars in the garage already. You shouldn’t spend if you don’t have to.”Tamara stared at her son speechlessly. So what if I spent some money? Those sports cars were so beautiful. It’d be such a pity if they sat there unbought.And besides, it felt embarrassing that she was being lectured by her son about her spending habits.Tamara pouted as she led her son out of the airport. They then got into a black Porsche Cayenne that had already been parked outside earlier. Neither of them noticed that a light behind them flashed for a moment as
