My girlfriend secretly hid her pregnancy.

I thought she was afraid of giving birth, so I immediately proposed to her and even booked a 500 thousand dollars per month postpartum care center.

However, as soon as I paid the bill, her ex-husband and his assistants blocked me outside.

"You bastard, you got my wife pregnant, and now you want to force her into an engagement?"

"Today, I'll turn your engagement party into a funeral!"

Looking at the marriage certificate, I realized that my fiancee hadn't divorced her ex-husband.

Her husband assaulted me, dragged me to the engagement party, and humiliated me in public.

After the humiliation ended, my dad came with company's senior executives, relatives, and friends.

I, who almost dying, looked at my father.

"Dad, I might not be able to get engaged tonight."

***

After my girlfriend got pregnant, I immediately proposed to her and secretly booked the best postpartum care center to give her a sense of security.

While waiting for the receptionist, I saw a live broadcast.

On the screen, a bald man followed by a group of burly men was broadcasting outdoors.

"My followers, if I hadn't found out that my wife was pregnant, I wouldn't have known that I had been cheated for so long."

"That bastard was really shameless. He took advantage of his youth to seduce my wife and get her pregnant."

"He even posted on his Instagram to provoke me and force us to divorce. He didn't respect me, the legal husband, seriously."

"I heard that he forced my wife to engage with him today. I'm still alive, and he can't wait to step in."

Some audience were confused.

"How can you be so sure that this child isn't yours?!"

The bald man was silent for a moment, and his face was full of shame and anger.

"Because I have Azoospermia. The doctor said it's impossible for me to let my wife get pregnant naturally!"

"It must be that bastard who seduced her. So my wife had cuckolded me!"

When the audience in the live broadcast room heard this, they became furious.

"This is outrageous. Sleeping with other's wife and having a child-who can tolerate it?"

"Exactly. I don't know how he was educated."

"You must tear that scumbag to shreds, or I'll track you down through the Internet! Because my wife was also seduced by a shameless scumbag."

Gaining the overwhelming support from the followers, the bald man instantly became excited.

"Thank you for your support. In order to vent my anger, I decided to take the initiative. At that time, I will show the process of tearing apart that bastard through broadcast."

I shook my head. Nowadays, people were willing to say anything to get popular during broadcasting.

About to exit the live stream, I suddenly noticed that the bald man looked a little familiar.

Wasn't this John? The general manager of my father's branch company?

John was just a driver. My dad saw that he was hard working, competent and also sociable.

So John was promoted to the general manager of the branch company.

John did not let my father down. He did well in managing the branch company.

Although I hadn't met him many times, my dad often mentioned him.

I heard that he married a wife who was ten years younger than him and lived a happy life.

The only regret was that they had never had a child.

The world was too small. I randomly opened the live broadcast, but a familiar face appeared.

Thinking of this, I quickly exited the live stream and called my father.

"Dad, something seemed to have happened to Uncle John's family. His wife was pregnant, but the child was not his. Didn't you say that they have a good relationship?"

My dad was also a little confused.

"I don't know, but John did take some days off recently and said that he was not feeling well. Where did you hear that? Could there be a misunderstanding?"

I sent my father the screenshot from the live broadcast.

"Although it's been a long time since I saw Uncle John, his appearance hasn't changed a lot. I shouldn't mistake him."

"How about you ask the staff to keep an eye on the engagement venue? Hurry up and see what's going on with Uncle John. After all, he's an old employee of our company. We can't just stand by and ignore him."

After hanging up the phone, I followed the receptionist to the luxurious suite in the postpartum care center, intending to experience the service here.

However, as soon as I lay down on the bed, the door of the suite was kicked open.

Then, a group of people rushed in.

The person in the front shoved the phone directly into my face.

"Hey everyone, look, this is the bastard who got my wife pregnant!"

"This bastard must be a pervert. How dare he lie on the pregnant woman's bed? Does he have a special fetish for pregnant women?"

The group of people began to point and whisper around me.

I took a closer look and recognized that it was John, who had just vowed to punish the scumbag in the live broadcast?

Why did he come to the postpartum care center?

Seeing his aggressive look, I quickly tried to explain,

"Uncle John, there is a misunderstanding. I'm not..."

Before I could finish speaking, I was slapped by John.

"The son of a bitch, how dare you shit on me!"

I was slapped by surprise and felt dizzy.

The group of men around him joined in to insult me.

"You look so young. Why do something like this and destroy other's family? "

"That's right. Impregnated another man's wife and engaged on their wedding anniversary. How could he do this!"

"Guys, the law can't punish scum like him. We'll punish him!"

Then, several burly men bound me with rope.

After failing to break free, I suppressed my anger and tried to explain,

"What impregnating someone? You've got the wrong person! Release me now!"

Normally, I would have fought back.

But John was an old employee who under my father. I didn't want to make things worse because of a misunderstanding.

I thought my warning would make John regain consciousness.

Unexpectedly, he grew even more angry.

"How dare you impregnate my wife and deny it? If I hadn't seen your photo with my wife on the Instagram, I would still be kept in the dark."

After that, John showed a screenshot from an Instagram's post to me.

In the screenshot, I had posted a photo on Instagram announcing that I was going to be a father,

It was an intimate photo taken when I touched the belly of my fiancee, Sherry.

I also was seeking opinions on Instagram how to arrange today's engagement ceremony sincerely. After all, there are double joys.

At this moment, I suddenly realized that the scumbag that John had accused of impregnating his wife was me.

He must be wrong. I had been with my fiancee-Sherry for more than a year. She had just accepted my proposal. How could she become another man's wife?

I tried to keep calm down as I explained.

"Uncle John, you must be wrong. This is my fiancee, Sherry, not your wife."

John coldly snorted and threw a certificate in front of me.

"Until now, you still refuse to admit it, I'll let you more desperate!"

"Sherry is my legal wife!"

I was stunned when I saw the photo on the marriage certificate.

Because that was indeed my fiancee, Sherry.

Even if they looked alike, having the same name seemed to be impossible, right?

I struggled and shouted loudly,

"Uncle John, there must be some misunderstanding. Could you please release me and let's have a good talk?"

"Even if I'm a scum, I wouldn't dare to steal a woman from my father's old employee."

John glanced at me and sneered.

"You used this mouth to cheat on my wife, right? Now, you want to pretend the heir of our CEO. How dare you!"

"Damien has been abroad for a long time and just returned tonight. Take a look at yourself first. How can you pretend to be the heir of the Brown Group."

As soon as John finished speaking, I suddenly remembered that no one else knew that I had returned except my father.

To better prepare for taking over the company, I decided to hide my identity and work as an intern within the company for a few months.

However, unexpectedly, Sherry got pregnant during this time.

Knowing this, my dad asked me to end my internship early and arranged a party.

Not only just to introduce me, but also to announce my engagement to Sherry.

Before being with Sherry, she said that she had a failed marriage.

But she chose to divorce because of domestic violence.

At that time, I only focused on empathizing with her, unaware that she didn't get divorced at all.

Now, her ex-husband came to insult me and spread rumors about something that I had never done before.

Thinking of this, I was so angry and my face turned cold.

"When Sherry was with me, she said she had divorced you."

"By the way, I'm indeed James Brown's son-Damien. If you don't believe me, I can call my dad now."

However, John took out my phone and stuffed it into his pocket.

"Thinking of calling help? You have the guts to seduce my wife, but you don't have the guts to admit it?"

"Guys, stop talking. Today, I'll let this bastard see what will happen if he cuckolds others!"

After that, John swung his baseball bat viciously at my calf.

Because my hands and feet were tied, I was hit by such a bat without resistance.

The intense pain caused me to inhale sharply.

But John seemed to unsatisfied, so he dragged me off the bed.

Enduring the severe pain, I shouted.

"Are you ignoring the law? Aren't you afraid of taking criminal responsibility?"

John sneered.

"What a joke! Backed by the Brown Group, even if I kill you today, no one dares to intervene!"

At that moment, a set of car keys fell out of my pocket.

John's eyes sharpened. He grabbed the car key and shouted.

"This son of a bitch is driving a Maybach."

"The money I earn so hard is now in the pockets of this pretty boy!"

"Guys, smash his car!"

The group of burly men went downstairs and attacked the Maybach parked at the door.

This car was an engagement gift from my dad. It was the first day I drove it out.

In an instant, I was overly shocked.

"Stop! If you smash my car, I'll make you pay everything!"

However, John swung a bat directly at the window of car.

"You're just an intern. Where did you get the money to buy a Maybach ?"

"This must be my wife's money. They all come from me. I can smash it if I want!"

I watched my new car turn into scrap metal all of a sudden.

I shouted at the receptionist in the distance at the top of my voice.

"Quick! Call the police! Please help me call the police!"

But these people just coldly watched, and no one helped me call the police.

After that, John pushed me into a van.

I screamed desperately.

"Where are you taking me?"

Impatiently, John kicked me.

"Don't you want to get engaged with my wife? In a while, I'll turn your engagement party into a funeral!"

I stared at him grimly.

"You'd better not to do this, or I will definitely make you pay the price!"

However, my warning seemed like a joke to John.

He pressed the phone camera against my face and mocked.

"My followers, this son of a bitch is quite stubborn. Even though, one of his legs was broken, he's still here threaten me,"

The others in the car also laughed.

"It seems that he still suffered less. How dare he threaten us? Doesn't he know how powerful Mr. John is? Even the police come, they'd have to show respect!"

Soon, the van stopped in front of a five-star hotel.

John kicked me out of the car and dragged me to the door of the most luxurious banquet hall in the hotel.

There, amid red rose decorations, was poster of Sherry and me.

John approached and poked a hole in the poster with his bat.

Since it was still early, the company executives and my relatives hadn't arrived yet.

In the banquet hall, there were only a few staff members and a bunch of unfamiliar old men and women.

As soon as they saw me, they immediately pointed at me and started cursing.

"John, is this the bastard who made Sherry pregnant?"

Tut! John spat in disgust.

"Yes, that's him. He even wants to pretend to be the son of our CEO. Why doesn't he take a look at himself in the mirror? How dare he!"

An old woman with wrinkles stepped forward and kicked me.

"How dare you cuckold my son? Do you want to die early?"

"John, after you deal with this bastard, don't forget about that bitch and the child she carried!"

John humphed.

"Mom, don't worry. I won't let any of them easily off!"

Soon, I was kicked several more times.

"Just an intern, dares to seduce John's wife!"

"Yeah, but if we beat him to death, will we be caught?"

"Don't worry. With the Brown Group's protection, no one dares to punish John."

Listening to these people's insults, I suddenly felt dazed.

Because John in front of me was completely different from the one in my memory.

At work, he was diligent and reliable. In daily life, he pampered his wife and took care of family.

My father said that a man who treated his family well must be reliable.

That was exactly what the company needed.

My dad even planned to promote John to be the vice president of the company at my engagement party.

That way, he would be able to help me manage the company better.

However, I didn't expect that he would act so arrogantly in the name of my father.

Even his family wantonly trampled and insulted other people's dignity.

I looked at the crowd in front of me and spoke coldly,

"What's wrong with being an intern? Should an intern be insulted by you?"

"Everyone is equal before the law. If the CEO of the Brown Group finds out about this, not only will he fire John, but he will also personally send him to the jail!"

Hearing my words, John's mother sneered.

"John is the right-hand man to Mr. Brown. Tonight, he will be getting promotion. I heard that the Mr. Brown will give a big villa as a reward. Dealing with you, an intern, is nothing!"

"With the Brown Group's support, even the police have to respect us. You, without any background, dare to seduce John's wife. You have no idea of your status."

I was incredibly shocked when I heard those arrogant words.

If I hadn't experienced it myself, I wouldn't have known that John, whom I respected since childhood, was so arrogant outside.

My dad, a CEO of a public company, was always cautious in every aspect.

However, John, a general manager, was even more arrogant than my dad.

Noticing that I was in a daze and speechless, John, with a baseball bat in hand, mocked.

"After I solved the problem, Mr.Brown might even award me another big villa. He highly appreciated someone like me who prioritized family. "

"While the dinner hasn't started yet, let's quickly deal with the bastard. The CEO's son will be here soon. He is going to take over the company and has a closer relationship with me. But he is innocent, in the future, the Brown Group will be under my control!"

The so-called honest man in my father's eyes was just a fake public image of Jack.

It was unimaginable that my father, after years in business world, had also been deceived by John.

Looking at his insolent behavior, I shook my head.

"The punishment is fake. You just want to take this opportunity to establish your authority. Mr. Brown is not stupid. Do you think he won't see through your little tricks?"

After he was be touched a raw nerve, John's face turned dark and cursed.

"You bastard, impregnated my wife, and now you're cursing me as well."

"Guys, isn't he just using his face and mouth to seduce my wife? Today, we'll destroy them. Let's see how arrogant he can be in the future!"

Then, several strong men raised their bats and knives began to attack me.

Countless bats rained down my body.

Someone even raised a knife and slashed my face and chest.

I struggled desperately, but John hit me on the head with a baseball bat.

Suddenly, the blood ran into my eyes, blurring my vision.

At this moment, an anxious voice came into my ears.

"Damien!"

I struggled to look up and saw that it was Sherry.
