Mr. Chairman’s Devious Wife

“Married…” Teresa couldn’t stop pacing inside her room. Alexander and Sofia got married? This – “How is Daniel?” she asked the maid who was standing nearby.

“The young master was still sleeping.”

Teresa gritted her teeth. No. Something must be done. She couldn’t believe that Sofia would actually marry Alexander just for revenge! She wasn’t stupid! Why would she-

No. This can’t continue.

“I was in the middle of a meeting. What was so-

“Did you know that Alexander got married?” Teresa interrupted her husband’s words the moment he walked in. “Your good son got married without informing us.”

“Married to who?” Arthur frowned.

“Sofia Lockhart.” Teresa no longer had the energy to even talk to her husband about this matter. “The least you could do was be there for Daniel but-”

“Wasn’t it Alexander who just had an accident?”

“Why was it always Alexander?” Teresa screamed. “Why was it always him?”

For a few seconds, Arthur just stared at her. “Do you really want to know?”

“You-”

“If you want to blame someone, then… why not blame yourself?” Arthur said, his expression was cold. This was not a new scandal inside the family. The fact that the Beaumont Family had never been close to each other was not a secret even outside the family.

“Daniel did nothing! He is still your son,” Teresa said. After everything, she no longer had the energy to even say that she was angry- no- she no longer had the strength to be angry. “Why can’t you at least-”

Arthur snorted, interrupting her words. “Do you truly think of us as stupid?” Arthur asked as he took a step towards Teresa.

“You” Seeing the coldness in Arthur’s eyes, Teresa was unable to stop her hand from shivering. She took a step back, fear flashed in her eyes but she quickly suppressed her reaction.

“We both know whose son he is… right?” Arthur asked, his words sending shivers down her spine. It was as if the world around Teresa narrowed. “It seems that you have truly underestimated the Beaumont Family.” Arthur clicked his tongue. “Do not worry. Daniel will never know the truth and I do

not intend to reveal it to him. You are right. He is my son and he will forever think that way. However… I believe you have no right to utter those words in front of me again.”

Just like most families, the Beaumont Family once had trouble with succession.

Once the Beaumont Family had two sons. The eldest grew up thinking he would inherit everything so he studied hard, followed his father’s footsteps, and started working in his father’s company when he was still young. He married the woman his father wanted him to marry and lived the life his father wanted him to live.

Meanwhile, the youngest grew up spoiled. He continued messing around with women and substances.

Then one day, the patriarch said he would give the youngest a position in the company. Out of nowhere, the youngest started showing potential more than his brother. He started gaining praise from the shareholders. He started gaining influence. He was allowed to do what he wanted and even marry the woman he liked!

So… what did the eldest do?

The eldest, who had been following everything his father wanted, started to feel suffocated. Why was his younger brother, who did not follow their father’s words, given that opportunity? Why was he given a chance when the one who worked so hard to impress their father was him?

During all this, the eldest son got closer to another woman who showed him the care he needed- a woman who was not his wife. Seeing his brother’s accomplishment, the eldest started to doubt his own ability.

Threatened by his own brother, the eldest brother did something unthinkable that caused the demise of his younger brother and his then-pregnant wife- it was something so terrible that until now, it haunted his dreams.

However, the suffering did not just end with this. The endless nightmares and guilt were just the beginning.

The eldest’s wife suddenly succumbed to death and soon, he discovered that his mistress was pregnant with his second child. He quickly married his mistress without having second thoughts.

For years, he had treated his first son horribly. To him, the first son was a reminder of his past self— the man who did not hesitate to follow all of his father’s orders. Obviously, he pampered his second son. That was when he discovered something… something that destroyed his world.

It turns out that his younger brother, whom he ‘accidentally’ killed, was indeed planning to become the heir. His younger brother was meticulously planning everything behind the scenes and pretended to be a waste for years before deciding it was time to show off his skills.

He planned to take the position of the heir and become the new pillar of the Beaumont Family. However, his sudden death halted everything— well, not everything.

The eldest son soon discovered that the woman he married- his mistress was colluding with his younger brother and even bore his child. He soon discovered that everything had been a lie from the

start! That everything had been planned like a game of go! In the end, the one who lost everything was him.

He lost his brother.

He lost his first wife.

He lost the affection of his only son.

The child that he loved so much was not even his own!

A family scandal.

A family secret that no one will ever know.

A family affair that made Arthur- the eldest child- speechless.

Yet, he knew that this was the consequence of his own actions- the consequence of his own greed.

It was karma.

Karma for everything that Arthur did in the past.

Many were asking why Arthur did not fight his father when he willed everything to Alexander. Many thought he was stupid and weak. Many laughed behind his back. Many mocked him for lowering his head in front of his son.

That was because those people didn’t know the truth. They didn’t know the shame, the guilt that made him want to end his life. But death was easy… wasn’t it?

Arthur was not foolish enough to end his life just like that.

Yes. He deserved everything that happened to him, and he would continue to live just to pay for his sins.

“Daniel is suffering for the sins that he did not commit,” Teresa said her voice just barely a whisper. “How could you punish someone who did nothing.” To her, it didn’t make any sense. Daniel had the blood of the Beaumont Family in his veins. The child was innocent since he was born. Why was he being treated like this by his own father?

“Yet you said nothing when I was punishing Alexander…” Arthur smirk “Wasn’t it pathetic?”

“You-”

“Don’t worry…” Arthur smiled. “You are not alone. Both of us are being punished for something that we did in the past. So… endure.” Why was it that he did not leave Teresa despite knowing everything? Why was it that he refused to divorce her? Isn’t it because he wanted them to endure their karma forever?

“Daniel is innocent.”

“Was he?” Arthur asked.

“He did nothing!” Teresa hissed, tears brimming in her eyes. “My son did

nothing!”

“Then you tell that to Alexander,” Arthur said.

“You-You are not really- You raised Daniel- how could you— ” Teresa

stopped her lips from trembling.

Arthur said nothing. Until now, he still thought of Daniel as his son. He did not have the heart to tell him the truth. However, this did not change anything. At the end of the day, Arthur was still a coward who could not face everything on his own.

“I am leaving…” Arthur said. “It is best that you send him abroad. Europe would be nice. Or send him to Asia. I heard Indonesia has some good facilities focused on meditation among other things. My secretary will show you a list of some meditation retreats.”

“Daniel is a Beaumont! You cannot just

“The only reason why Daniel is alive is because he is one!” Arthur gave

her a cruel smile. “Do you understand me?”
