"So you knew about it? You knew about Odelia being pregnant and now with Sean Osbert?!" Vincent asked again angrily because he didn't expect his mother to know this.
He then looked at Alice and Monica, he was sure that the two women also knew about it. It couldn't be just his mother, since Alice and Monica were always with Samantha everywhere.
"Tell me the truth, you already knew about this, right? You knew but you didn't tell me!" he asked again with a fury that made the three women feel scared.
They had never seen Vincent that angry and frustrated. He had even broken a vase of flowers on the table.
"VINCENT!" snapped her, she shocked that her favorite vase was broken by her own son in a fit of rage.
"What's wrong? Are you angry because I broke your favorite vase? That's how I felt when you, Alice and Monica! Ruined my marriage to Odelia!"
"You're mad at us just because of that woman again?! Vin, open your eyes! She's already pregnant with another man's child! That means she's cheating on you! Why are you going crazy like that just because of Odelia!" said Alice who was also upset to see her mother being scolded by her older brother.
Vincent then looked at Alice and pointed in front of her face.
"You don't deserve to say her name! You three don't deserve to call her names and even dare to call her a lowly woman!"
The situation became so tense that Samantha, who saw the situation, immediately pretended to faint so that Vincent would stop scolding them. Of course, Alice and Monica, who were unaware of the plan, looked panicked and surprised.
"Auntie! Aunt Samantha!" called Monica who was shocked and tried to support the woman's body.
"Mom! Mom wake up, mom!" Alice shook her mother's body and turned to Vincent. "Look what you've done to mom! Don't you think she has some kind of disease that makes her unable to stand this kind of situation?!"
He turned his face away in annoyance, as if he didn't care about his own mother's condition. Even though in his heart, he wanted to save his mother, but his anger seemed to hold him back from doing so.
"Vin, save your mom! Aunt Samantha is in danger, we should lay her down in her room!" Monica tugged on her ex-lover's hand which made Vincent save his mother in the end.
He lifted the middle-aged woman's body and laid her on the bed. Hoping nothing bad would happen to his mother even though his little heart still felt angry with her.
"I'm sorry, mom... I'm sorry..."
Samantha felt that her idea was a success as she managed to get Vincent to save her.
'See? I knew you would continue to submit to me. You'd better stop talking about that waniya shit in front of me,' she thought triumphantly.
However, it didn't occur to Vincent to stop taking Odelia home. Moreover, he still thought that the baby in Odelia's belly was his.
Two days later, Vincent came to TechnOzone because Sean accept an invitation to meet from the man. Of course, Sean already knew what Vincent would talk to him about. Therefore he had prepared for all the possibilities that the CEO of his company's enemy would ask him.
"Mr. Sean, Mr. Percy and his secretary have arrived," Ronald told his boss.
"Let them in," Sean said, standing up from his chair and walking to the sofa in his office.
Ronald nodded and opened the door, letting Vincent into his office.
"Vincent Percy, it is 'unusual' for you to visit my company. I'm sure you don't intend to give up your company to me," Sean said as if to say that Vincent might give up his company because he was losing to him.
He then invited the blond man to sit down and Sean sat across from him.
"I'm not here to talk about business or anything related to that. I'm here to ask about my wife, Odelia," Vincent replied with a serious face.
"Your wife? Odelia? Oh wait a minute, you probably mean 'my wife' Odelia Osbert, right?"
"Don't make it up, Odelia is still my wife. You can't claim her as your wife. We are not legally divorced because I never signed our divorce papers!"
But Sean didn't seem to care about that, he knew that Odelia had signed it and she herself didn't want to deal with Vincent anymore because she wanted to be with Sean to start her new life.
Especially at this time, Odelia was pregnant with his child.
"Then what are you going to do? Take her back to your house and let her be cursed at and have her pride trampled on by your mother and sister again? You're ridiculous," Sean said in a tone that sounded cold this time.
He explained that he had heard everything from Odelia, what Samantha and Alice had done to her and he found it intolerable.
"You let your wife, the woman you love, be abused both mentally and verbally for four years and you just stood by without being able to defend her? And after she got tired and decided to leave, you asked her to come back?"
Vincent's hands clenched so tightly on his knees that his knuckles turned white with irritation. He felt that Sean was interfering too much with his relationship with Odelia.
"If I were you, I'd rather let her go because then she can be happy. Because the threat all this time was not from outside, but from your own family. If you can't protect her from your family, how can you protect her from the threats out there?" asked Sean again, who continued to suppress Vincent's anger.
Vincent knew and realized that everything Sean said was true, but the truth made him feel very upset and disgusted.
"Enough, Osbert! I'm here to ask for my Odelia back, not to talk nonsense like this!" he said irritably, cutting off Sean's words.
A grin appeared on the Osbert patriarch's face at the words that escaped Vincent's lips.
"Your Odelia? Heh... You mean my Odelia? She is no longer yours, she is mine. Don't you refer to her as yours anymore, because I don't share my wife," Sean replied.
Grinding his teeth, Vincent began to lose his temper as Sean continued to refer to Odelia as his. He didn't like it when she was owned by someone else.
He'd made a mistake, but couldn't he fix it? Couldn't Sean let him fix his mistake with Odelia.
However, Sean just smiled as if he was patronizing the man in front of him at the moment.
In the middle of their discussion, Sean's office was suddenly knocked by someone. Ronald was ordered to open the door and let the person in.
"Please come in, Mrs. Osbert," Ronald said as he opened the door.
The door opened and a woman with ginger hair and beautiful blue eyes walked into the room and looked at Sean.
"Sean!" she called.
Hearing a familiar voice, Vincent reflexively turned his head and was surprised to see the woman they had been arguing with there.
"Odelia?"
