Forsaken Wife Reclaims Power, Leaves Husband to Ruin

I felt very mad, so I laughed loudly instead.

“Adrian, go outside and check how many performers want to join my birthday party, your partner dancing for me, should I thank you for that?”

“You say that I only think about myself.”

“So, you're bringing your mistress to my birthday, isn't it selfish? You think I should kindly welcome that woman back and take care of her?!”

Adrian clearly did not think I would talk to him like this in front of others; his expression quickly turned cold.

“Eloise, you really are unbelievable. Now you even speak against me in front of everyone! You are nowhere near as reasonable as Amira!”

He could not win the argument, angrily placed his arm around Amira’s shoulder, and left.

I breathed in deeply, holding back the worry of wanting to see the child, saying sorry, making small talk, and sending the guests away one by one.

After everyone had fully left, the smile on my face slowly faded away.

I quickly moved toward the baby's room, hoping to get some comfort from the child.

But the nursery had no one inside!

And the helper who was about to enter was also not holding the baby.

A bad feeling rose up at once.

“Where is my child?”

I asked the nanny with teary eyes. “I told you to stay with her, where did she go?!”

The nanny’s face turned white right away, and she started to speak with breaks.

“M-Ma’am, the baby…”

“It was, sir, he said you cannot care for a child well, your feelings are not calm, it will affect the child’s nature…”

“For these days the baby will stay with him, and you… should think about yourself.”

I stood still, and even breathing felt hard.

After I came back to my senses, I quickly tried to reach Adrian’s staff, his assistant, but every message got no reply.

Adrian stayed away from me on purpose. For now, I had no way to know where he went.

Just as I was about to break down, my phone showed that last extra live stream of the dating show.

When I noticed what the live video showed, anger rose in my eyes at once.

On screen, Adrian told everyone the baby was given by the show team so they could practice caring for a child.

I watched Amira, next to him, give the baby a small cookie. The baby was just one month old, and even drinking was hard, but it was pushed into her mouth, and she cried loudly in pain.

The milk formula I asked someone to make was spread all over the floor, then Amira picked it up carelessly and kept mixing it.

She gave it to the baby, but it was too hot, and the baby refused to drink. She even gave the baby’s own bottle to a dog!

Amira also placed the baby on the floor, letting her stay with a big dog. The floor was cold and dirty, and her clothes quickly became messy!

Adrian, on screen, still showed a pleased smile. “See how joyful the baby is.”

Joyful?

I looked at the screen, my eyes felt hot.

How can she be happy?

Her face clearly showed fear!

The last small hope in my heart that “Adrian might be a good dad” fully broke.

That was the baby I kept safe with care, scared she might get hit or hurt.

The precious child I slowly raised with love!

But in Adrian’s view, she was only a “thing” he could easily bring to the show to flirt with!

I almost lost control and ran straight to the hotel where the show group stayed.

The front desk saw me, their expression changed a little, and the assistant quickly ran after me to stop me.

“Mrs. Wilkinson, now is really not the right time…”

I shoved the person aside and rushed straight to the room door.

I kicked the door open.

What was inside came into sight right away.

The air felt strange, clothes were thrown around, and everything looked messy.

Adrian’s clothes were not neat, and his face showed anger from being interrupted. Amira stayed in his arms, her face red, her look uneasy.

My sight went dark for a second, but I made myself stay standing.

My voice shook as I asked, “Adrian!”

“Where is my baby? Where did you take my baby?!”

Amira looked scared, quickly hiding in Adrian’s arms.

“Sister-in-law, please don’t get mad. I thought brother brought the baby to the show to build a bond with the baby, did he not tell you?”

“If I knew before, I would have told him to bring the baby back, ah, that milk formula, was it for the baby to drink? I thought brother bought it for the dog, so I gave it to the dog…”

My head hurts. Before I could talk, I heard Adrian give a small laugh. “Why are you saying all that to her?”

He lifted his eyes to face me, his eyes cold with no warmth.

“As the baby’s dad, what is wrong with me building a bond with the baby?”

“No need to say sorry to her, the milk formula had no words saying it is for the baby, what is wrong with giving it to the dog? Do not blame yourself, you did nothing bad.”

What was wrong with giving it to the dog?

What was wrong?!

My voice almost came out with force from my throat.

“Adrian, do you know that milk formula was made just…”

“Stop, how long will you keep making trouble? Look at you now, like a loud woman from the street.”

“Do you think we are not ashamed enough already?”

Adrian cut me off; his eyes showed a bit of harshness, he touched Amira’s cheek, and slowly spoke.

“And is this not because of you? Yesterday, you thought Amira could not care for the baby and pushed her aside, making her look bad in public.”

“So I let the baby stay with Amira more so she can learn how to care for a baby, what is wrong with that?”

I caused this?

Just because I made his mistress feel ashamed, he treats the baby like this?
