Scars Of A Broken Bond by Calv Momose

Chapter: 469
“I’m here for your sake. Today I discovered that your father has a secret daughter. I fear we might soon be discarded!” Evie
declared, her teeth clenched.
“What happened? Explain it to me!” Galilea demanded, her demeanor turning grave.
Despite his inefficiency, her father still held some shares in the company. With the Clifford family’s business continually
expanding, these shares were increasing in value. Galilea had played a significant part in the success of the business through
her collaboration with Blakely Group.
She had rightful claim over all of her father’s shares.
Even though they paled in comparison to Blakely Group’s assets, she was not about to give them up without a fight.
Evie shared with Galilea the events of the day. “Your father’s secretary, Rory, was acting suspiciously, and my hunch proved to
be correct. However, the identity of the woman in the report remains unknown to me. If I knew who she was, she’d be done for!”
“The fewer individuals privy to this information, the better. I surmise only Rory has the full picture. He should be aware of her
identity.”
After reflecting for a while, Galilea extracted her phone and dialed a number.
The call was swiftly answered, and a female voice expressed surprise.
“Ms. Clifford, why are you calling me? What’s wrong? Is there an issue with Rory’s work?”
The girl happened to be Rory’s girlfriend. She had made several attempts to get on Galilea’s good side, but Galilea wasn’t fond
of her.
“This isn’t about work. How have things been between the two of you lately?”
The girl appeared taken aback. “We’re fine. He told me he intends to propose.”
“I see...”
“Is there a problem?”

“I’m unsure whether I should disclose this or not. On the 17th, I spotted him with another woman, and he subsequently visited a
private hospital’s gynecology department.”
“What?” Rory cheated on me? I’ll confront him immediately!” Believing Galilea’s fabricated story, the girl reacted impulsively.
“Wait, I merely wanted to give you a heads-up. It’s possible there’s a misunderstanding! Don’t mention that this came from me.”
The girl responded hurriedly, “Understood. Thank you for the heads-up.
I won’t mention you.”
Ending the call, the young woman promptly dialed Rory’s number. “Rory, be honest with me. Are you having an affair?”
“Honey, you’ve got it all wrong. How could I possibly cheat on you?”
“Am I mistaken? My friend said she spotted you with another woman on the 17th. She had suspicions, so she followed you
discreetly. To her surprise, you ended up at the hospital’s obstetrics and gynecology department and even had a baby. What’s
going on?”
“What nonsense is this? Me, with another woman? And a child too? That’s just not true!”
