In the banquet hall of a five-star hotel, a hundred crystal lights were shining brightly. Under the dreamy scene that was about to be submerged by flowers, a couple was holding hands and stepping onto the stage. The most grand wedding of the year in Star City was being held.
Tonights protagonists were the daughter of the Star Citys famous Aldrin family and the heir to the famous Halpert Enterprises.
A marriage alliance between powerful families naturally attracted a lot of attention.
The host announced with great joy that the couple could exchange rings and kiss, and the guests were waiting quietly for this sacred moment.
Suddenly, a cold and proud man in a navy blue suit pushed open the banquet hall door and mockingly said, "Is Mr. Halpert really willing to marry Miss Aldrin, whose family is now in debt?"
His dark and deep eyes stared at the newlyweds on the stage, revealing a terrifying chill.
Was the Aldrin family already in debt?
Faced with the sudden disruption, everyone at the wedding became restless and began whispering.
"Even if Mr. Halpert doesnt mind that the Aldrin family is in debt, does the Halpert family not mind that the new daughter-in-law already has an illegitimate child?" The man threw out another explosive news.
The groom, Jim Halpert, looked at his fianc茅e, Lily Aldrin, in surprise. Lilys face had turned as pale as paper after the man stood up and spoke, and hearing "illegitimate child" made her widen her bright eyes.
How could she not recognize this familiar face? He is the reason why she desperately wanted to forget but was trapped in the abyss of pain that she couldnt forget.
"What are you talking about, Michael Scott?!" Lily stepped forward and stared at him directly, asking loudly.
The name shouted by the bride made many guests at the scene gasp.
Michael Scott, is he the rising star in the Star City business world in the past year, the business tycoon who is said to be involved in both the black and white worlds?
How could he appear here to disrupt the marriage alliance between the Halpert and Aldrin families?
Michael Scott walked onto the stage with firm and powerful steps, approaching Lily Aldrin like the vengeful Satan.
Jim Halpert turned around and protected Lily behind him, facing Michael Scotts gaze: "Mr. Scott, you should be cautious about baseless words."
Michael Scotts thin lips rose, revealing a charming smile, but his black eyes narrowed slightly, showing a sharp light: "Baseless?" He snorted coldly, "I am the father of that child, I dont know if this counts as evidence?"
"What do you want, Michael Scott?" Lily glared at him, and the pain that had been deeply suppressed in her heart completely churned out in an instant when he said this, her breathing became rapid, and her chest heaved.
While everyone was still questioning the truth of his words, the wedding photos of the new couple on the screen suddenly turned into several daily life photos of a little boy. The outline and features were obviously a combination of Lily Aldrin and Michael Scotts facial features, and the facial features were more similar to Lilys. Then the screen also played a short video, indicating that the photos were not synthesized.
Lily covered her mouth in surprise, and her body couldnt help but soften: "How could this be?" She suddenly looked at her parents, who were also full of fear.
When Lilys mind was in chaos, Michael Scott reached out and pulled her, and while everyone was shocked, he had taken Lily Aldrin away from the side door of the banquet hall.
"Where are you taking me? I want to see my child!"
Michael Scott snorted coldly, and then pinched her chin fiercely: "What? Now you remember to pretend to be a caring mother in front of me?"
In the past five years, she has never wanted to take a look at their father and son. Why pretend now?
His heart was full of resentment, and if he was destined to sink in hell, he would never let her live a good life again. Wanting to pretend that nothing had happened and marry happily, she was dreaming!
Lily Aldrin couldnt figure out all of this. Seeing Michael Scott again after five years, Lily felt both familiar and unfamiliar. His temperament has become more mature, but also exudes a cold and dangerous aura.
Over the years, she has always wanted to forget everything she encountered when she met him at the age of nineteen. Forget that the initial love was just his boring plaything, forget the unfortunate child who died young. In the middle of the night, she would also cry bitterly, but the moment she decided to marry Jim, she had made up her mind to bid farewell to the past.
But he appeared again and brought her unexpected news. Is her child still alive? Why?
Michael Scott pursed his lips, and the flames of anger burned in his eyes: "Great, you continue to pretend for me! Falling into my hands, I want you to pay for what you have done."
His car stopped at a seaside villa, and Michael Scott dragged Lily directly to a room on the second floor.
"What is this place?" Lily asked uneasily.
"Do you have the right to ask? Your Aldrin Industries is already in my hands. If you dont want me to destroy it and let your parents be disgraced, youd better shut up right now."
At this moment, Lilys heart was torn by his vicious threat. Even if her parents looked down on him at the beginning, they should not bear such a heavy punishment. They cared so much about reputation and company, they must not be able to accept this kind of blow.
"As long as I listen to you, will you let my parents go?"
Michael Scott left without answering and locked the door.
Lily stayed up all night, and in the morning, the beautifully dressed Phoebe Buffay pushed open the door, walked up to her, grabbed her jaw, and said: "Lily Aldrin, take a good look, your Aldrin is gone, and the Halpert family has also terminated the engagement with you. This is the punishment that Brother Scott gave you, you deserve it!"
She threw the phone with the news page open at Lily and left.
Lily took a look and called her mother: "Mom, what happened?"
After listening for a while, she was stunned.
It turned out that the child she gave birth to at the beginning did not die, but her parents disliked the childs father who couldnt be on the table, so they lied to her and directly sent the child back to Michael Scott, claiming that she didnt want the child.
"Mom, how can you do such a thing!" Lily roared at the phone.
This is how cruel it is, no wonder Michael Scott looks like he wants to grind her bones.
After hanging up the phone, Lily heard someone talking outside. She went over and found that the door was unlocked. As soon as she stepped out into the corridor, she saw two people rushing to the room opposite.
"Dr. Zhao, I just found out that the young master has a fever!"
The child! Lily hurriedly followed them into the room and saw the child in the video. She rushed to the bedside and hugged the child.
"My child!" She has never seen the child from birth to now.
But before she could hold him for two seconds, the furious Michael Scott snatched the child back and pushed her to the ground, gnashing his teeth and saying, "You dont deserve to touch him."
