I shut the bedroom door behind me, which blocked out the noise. Obviously, I didn’t want to hear their voices anymore. The only thing I focused on was the airport.
It was just seven more days to go until the opening of the airport. I knew that I could hold on well. I had to.
The house had become chaotic. With a child around and the servants acting like he was royalty, the living room was always noisy. I couldn’t stand it, so I asked my assistant to take me to the company.
During Richard’s memory loss, I had taken care of the group’s business. He didn’t like dealing with unfamiliar people, so everything had been left to me. But when I arrived at the office building, my fingerprint didn’t unlock the door.
Confused, I turned to my assistant and asked him “What’s going on?”
Richard’s secretary ran over, clearly nervous, as she answered, “Mrs. Ford … Mr. Ford said…”
“Said what?”
“He said the Ford Family now has an heir. He plans to personally train him.”
The people around gasped.
“An heir? Mr. Ford has a child?”
“I thought Mrs. Ford couldn’t get pregnant?”
“Didn’t you hear? That child’s his illegitimate son!”
My fists clenched.
“Open the door,” I ordered the secretary.
