Spoiled by the Silver Fox

"Mom, I've already promised Silver Fox that I'll quit at the end of the month, so don't worry."

"Steph! Sebastian is your fiancé, you shouldn't call him like that."

"Sebastian doesn't have a problem with it, so don't stress about it. Just get some rest, alright? I gotta go to work!"

Stephanie felt quite a headache coming on after a long day.

The Klein family.

Mrs. Klein and her daughter Katherine returned home with unhappy expressions on their faces.

Furious, Katherine slammed her newly bought purse on the ground and yelled, "Mom, who the hell are those two?! They're just asking for trouble!"

She was about to explode. In her whole life, she had never encountered such humiliation, especially from cheap people like them.

With an exhausted look on her face, Mrs. Klein said, "That old woman was your father's mistress when he was younger, and the girl is his illegitimate daughter."

As soon as Katherine heard this, her anger dissipated, and her face was filled with shock.

After a moment, she finally digested the news and asked with disbelief, "Mom... is that really true?"

"Why would I lie to you?"

"But what on earth did dad see in her?"

"Shut up! As a daughter, you shouldn't gossip about your dad's affairs!"

"Fine, I'll stop talking about dad... but today, our prestigious Klein family was humiliated by a mistress and her daughter. If word gets out, I will be too ashamed to see anyone!"

Mrs. Klein was also relieved that there were not many customers in the store that day; otherwise, she would indeed become a laughingstock if the news spread.

Seeing her mother's weary face, Katherine hesitated and asked, "Mom... did you know about this all along?"

"What's the difference? It happened anyway..."

"Didn't you do anything... you know, to make them disappear?"

Mrs. Klein shook her head, "Your father warned me not to touch them... or he would divorce me But he also promised me that he wouldn't see that woman again."Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

So, all these years, Mrs. Klein had been occasionally nagging but never actually did anything to Stephanie and her mom.

Suddenly, Katherine frowned and asked, "Was it dad that helped those two today?"

Mrs. Klein shook her head, "He

wouldn't do that... He never gave them a dime over the years, treating them like strangers, and never mentioned bringing Stephanie home to live with us. But when Marilyn got sick, she asked your father for help, and he seemed to waver a bit."

That was the reason she went to make a scene at the hospital. Having that woman's daughter living under her roof? No way!

"But if it wasn't dad, who could it be? It seems like you know who it is and you're quite bothered by it, right?"

"It was the young master of the Ingram family... Oh, no, he's no longer a young master, but the one in charge of the Ingram family now."

Katherine couldn't help but gasp, "Sebastian?! How is that possible... How could he know that girl? They're not from the same world at all, right?"
