My Maternity Records Belong to Another Woman novel Chapter 76

Chapter7

Charles Whitmore was a mess, his nose bloodied, eyes swollen, and tears still clinging to his face as he launched into a whiny tirade.

“Dad, she hit me! She humiliated me in public! You have to get revenge for me, I swear, I’ll ruin her and her whole damn fam,”

Smack.

Harold Whitmore silenced him with a brutal slap across the face.

“You ungrateful brat! Apologize to Miss Black. Now.”

Charles was stunned. “Are you insane?! She hit me! And you’re taking her side?”

Harold didn’t even blink.

He kicked the back of Charles’s knee, forcing him to collapse onto the ground.

Then he turned to me, bowing slightly, his expression full of regret.

“Miss Black, I failed as a father. Please forgive him. This is entirely my fault.”

I casually patted his shoulder.

“Harold, have you forgotten how you went from a street hustler to the CEO of Whitmore Enterprises? Who backed you every step of the way?”

Harold bowed even lower. “Of course not. Mr. Black changed my life. I owe him everything, and I’ll never forget it.”

Charles finally realized just how deep in shit he was.

His voice trembled. “Dad… who is she, exactly?”

Harold slapped him again, this time across the back of the head.

“You stupid little bastard. You really had to go and mess with the daughter of Raymond Black?!”

“Raymond Black…. Black Viper Syndicate?” Charles choked.

“Bingo. And while the Viper Syndicate might’ve gone quiet in public, anyone knows they’re still pulling strings from the shadows.”

“Every major company in Riverton, including ours,has their money in it.”

“I spent months setting up this marriage meeting for you, and instead of playing it right, you assaulted her in public. You’ve lost your damn mind.”

The arrogance drained from Charles’s face, replaced by pale, sweating terror.

“I didn’t know. I swear, I didn’t know… Miss Black, please. I was wrong. I didn’t mean it. Forgive me this

once.”

I glanced at him with a smirk. “You’re not apologizing because you feel guilty. You’re apologizing because you’re scared.”

“If today, I’d been an ordinary woman,wouldn’t you and Bianca have walked all over me without a second thought?”

The crowd murmured in agreement.

“Exactly! That guy only bullies the weak. No remorse, just fear.

“Serves him right. Thought he was untouchable. Guess the God had other plans.”

“Miss Black, don’t let him off easy. People like him only learn through consequences.”

Harold looked panicked now, hearing the voices around us growing louder and angrier.

“Miss Black,” he said quickly. “He was ignorant. I’ll discipline him myself. Just this once,please let him off the hook, for my sake.”

I narrowed my eyes.

“I’ve never been publicly insulted, slapped, and threatened like this in my life. If I just walk away now, how the hell am I supposed to swallow that?”

Harold hesitated, then exhaled heavily. “What do you want to do with them?”

I looked from Charles to Bianca, letting the silence settle.

“You want to throw your weight around, use power to crush others? Fine. Let’s take all that power away.

“I want you to strip Charles of his surname and inheritance. Cut him off. From this moment on, he’s no longer a Whitmore,‘

Charles bolted upright. “What?! I’m your only son! Who’s going to inherit the company?!”

Harold opened his mouth to argue, but I cut him off.

“Inheritance? That’s based on the fact that the company still exists after tonight. My father is on his way right now. Tell me, Harold,what do you think he will do when he sees my bruises?”

That shut him up.
