The Miraculous Simone Gray novel Chapter 442

However, Melinda was destined to be disappointed.

Adam looked at her and said, "Do you think I'm joking about the successor of the conglomerate?"

Melinda still couldn't believe it. Unable to hold back, she looked at Adam and asked loudly, "Have you lost your mind?" "The successor of the Foster Family conglomerate is Skyler. Skyler is your eldest son and has been in the company for so long. Gwen, a young girl, inherits the company. Isn't that absurd?"

Having been influenced by her family for many years, Melinda also had a strong preference for males over females.

Gwen was speechless, "You're talking about me as if I'm just a little girl."

Her mother's behavior was really contradictory and amusing.

Adam was also speechless. "This is not feudal times, and our family has no imperial throne to inherit. The whole society advocates gender equality. Why can't Gwen inherit the company? I believe she is capable."

In his mind, there was no difference between his son and daughter inheriting the company.

Whoever has the ability should take charge, and strength is the ultimate criterion.

Melinda was going crazy. "How can you be like this? The Foster Family conglomerate clearly belongs to Skyler."

She looked at Adam with suspicion and asked, "Did Gwen work with Simone and curse you? Did she make you lose your mind?" That was what she believed in her heart.

Gwen sneered. "I am not you. Simone would never do such despicable things."

Melinda glared at Gwen. "Shut up."

Then she turned to Adam, her face full of anger, "You tell me!" She said forcefully, "Today, you must give me an explanation and an account."

Skyler, who was ahead of Adam, said first, "Mom, why do you think Dad would hand over the Foster Family's years of hard work to an outsider to inherit?" Dad doesn't care whether the company is inherited by a son or a daughter, but he does care if it's the bloodline of the Foster Family.

Moreover, ever since he found out that he was a b*stard and the medium of fortune, he had never coveted or thought about fighting for the Foster Family's property.

Upon hearing this, Melinda's eyes narrowed, and she became even more flustered. "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Skyler sighed. "Mom, do you really think everyone here is a fool? Everyone here knows that I am not Dad's biological son. So, what gives you the confidence to let a b*stard child born from your affair shamelessly compete with the legitimate heirs of the Foster Family?" He despised his biological father, and his biological mother wasn't much better.

Melinda widened her eyes. "This, this can't be possible!" Then, she immediately looked at Adam, Leon, and Gwen.

She found that their expressions were normal, without any hint of surprise.

She was completely dumbfounded.

How could this be? How did they all find out? No wonder her husband's attitude suddenly changed; he must have known about her affair and the illegitimate child.

She pondered for a moment, then looked at Adam with a pitiful and pained expression. "Honey, I... I was forced."

Naturally, she couldn't admit that she had a man she loved.

She could only fabricate a story about having a son after being assaulted.

Adam raised an eyebrow. "Melinda, do you still think I'm a fool?"

Melinda was about to speak, thinking of ways to win back her husband's heart.

Just then, the butler entered with people from a special department.

The person leading them was Deputy Minister Joseph Presgrave.

Adam raised an eyebrow. "Can't be disgraced if you have no grace to begin with."

Melinda choked, wondering if there was something wrong with his brain today. She looked at him with tears in her eyes and pleaded for the first time, "Honey, for the sake of our many years of love, you must help me."

She also realized the seriousness of the situation.

The special department came to arrest her in person. If her husband didn't help her, she would most likely end up in jail.

Adam sneered, "Many years of love? Do you believe that yourself? Melinda, you are shameless to the extreme. The one you have loved for so many years should be your adulterer, right? If you love him so much and he is so capable, let him save you."

Melinda's face instantly changed, her mouth trembling, and a hint of panic showed up. "I—I don't know what you're talking about."

She denied it. "Did someone tell you something random? Where did this adulterer come from?"

Adam said coldly, "You don't have to act anymore, and I don't want to act either. Let's be honest today. I have never loved you. The reason I acted with you for so many years was for the Foster Family and to deal with your lover and backer. And you were mistaken previously. We haven't even gotten married, so what right do you have to claim to be my wife?" His eyes were filled with indifference. "I hereby declare that we are officially ending our relationship. From this moment on, Melinda, we have no connection, and you will never be able to enter the doors of my Foster Family."

It was also because of Leon and Gwen, the two children, that Adam refrained from saying anything too harsh.

For example, Melinda was not even on par with a mistress.

Melinda widened her eyes, unable to believe it. "What do you mean? We didn't get married? I clearly saw our marriage certificate."

Adam looked at her with a smile that lacked warmth. "What marriage certificate? Did you imagine it? We never officially registered our marriage, let alone had a wedding celebration. We are not a couple at all. We were simply living together, so we can end our relationship at any time."

Melinda finally realized what was going on. "You, you have been plotting against me from the beginning?" No wonder there were always issues when they tried to obtain the marriage certificate, and then he claimed he would take care of it without her.

And then he continued to make excuses, postponing the wedding. But she still couldn't understand why a man who had loved her for so many years suddenly became so heartless.
