"Don't touch my son with your dirty hands! Do you think acting like a crazy fool can change anything? Your son died more than twenty years ago. Do you really think I don't know anything?"
Mrs. Luther's sudden words once again shocked everyone. Carolien held onto Elijah and looked at Mrs. Luther.
"Mom?"
Mrs. Luther took in a deep breath before turning around to look at Elijah. "I don't want to settle old scores, but I was aware of what's going on back then!"
Mrs. Luther nodded to her son reassuringly. Then she turned back and continued.
"Doreen, don't always think that everyone owes you. You are not the one everyone should be sorry for! Were you suffering from the pain of losing your lover? Didn't Declan have to suffer from not being together with the person he loved? What about me? I had to marry someone I don't like and had to run the company. Did anyone feel sorry for me? At that time, no one was willing to go that far. But if we didn't do that at that time, the business empire that the Luther family had worked so hard for would be lost, and many people would have to pay the price with their lives. Do you know these? The Luther family used to be part of the Dragons Gang, so whose hands were clean? If they lost their position, they would not only lose the family business but also their family members. What was your love compared to the lives of so many people? I have never complained about my sacrifice because the Luther family gave me mine! So even if I marry Declan, we could respect each other and take care of the family! Even if we had no feelings for each other, we live under the same roof. How would I not know that you and Declan met each other behind my back?"
Closing her eyes, Mrs. Luther sighed and said, "There is no eternal secret in the world!"
When she opened her eyes again, Mrs. Luther looked as if she was full of power.
"Doreen, even if I did not say anything, it doesn't mean that I don't know anything! You are an outsider with no status. How dare you act like a madman in the Luther family's territory? How long will you plan to fool yourself? Didn't you hear Declan's recording? He didn't want you so he would never let you have his child! Do you know why Declan kept regretting how soft-hearted he was and reminded Elijah to not make mistakes in love and to be cruel?"
With a sneer, Mrs. Luther suddenly snapped.
"I will tell you now! Because he is not blind, he learnt a lesson because of you, he knew what you were like and made a decision. He chose his marriage and his family, not your ridiculous love. I can tell you clearly that even if you could really bear his child and give birth to twins, they would still be illegitimate. He would never accept such them to destroy Elijah's future! A child has their own life, not for you to keep your man! What era is it in? Do you really think that you can rely on your child to stay in Luther family? If it is just like this, there will be countless of Doreens waiting for you in the future!"
