Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right

As a result, she gained some fame and was compelled to share a drink with Rupert.

After the alcohol-fueled encounter, Rupert shirked his responsibility for it.

Later, during Kendra’s pregnancy, she accidentally discovered that Rupert was the son of the prestigious Walsh family, one of the four prominent clans.

Consequently, she decided to keep the child and used it as leverage to force Rupert into taking responsibility for her and the baby.

The Walsh family had strict rules, and it was prohibited for members of the Walsh family to engage with women outside of marriage.

In an attempt to avoid any potential future issues, Rupert initially planned to eliminate Kendra.

However, a stroke of luck came his way when his wife experienced a premature birth around the same time, leading to the tragic loss of their child.

This unfortunate event softened Rupert’s heart, showing a glimmer of mercy toward his illegitimate child.

Maybe it was the fear of losing another child that made Rupert, a typically ruthless man, decide to release Kendra and provide her with a monetary settlement to resolve the situation.

Kendra, a clever woman, understood that if she kept pestering Rupert, the outcome would only worsen for her.

Furthermore, by keeping the baby, she believed there might be an opportunity for her to change her fortunes down the road.

Once Kendra welcomed Shelia into the world, her funds dwindled rapidly, and her former employment at the club vanished.

Left with no financial support, she endured a rough existence, dwelling in the slums for eight years while single-handedly raising her daughter.

Subsequently, she landed a job as a servant for the Stewart family.

Observing that Benny was unattached following his divorce, she seized the opportunity to make her move.

Once she had secured her status as Mrs.

Stewart, Rupert unexpectedly contacted her to inquire about her child.

Rupert’s wife couldn’t conceive after losing her baby, and his marriage being a business arrangement, he couldn’t divorce without his father’s approval.

Lacking an heir, he remembered Kendra’s child.

He assured Kendra that if her child ever faced any trouble, he’d step in when required, but beyond that, he wouldn’t interfere in their lives.

This hinted that his concern was solely for the child, and he had no interest in Kendra’s life.

Kendra couldn’t help but tighten her fists.

She had endured humiliation for so many years and was determined never to return to a life of poverty and disgrace.

With these thoughts in mind, Kendra’s smile grew softer and more alluring.

She delicately traced circles on Rupert’s chest with her fingers, well aware that he relished the sensation of being seduced.

“Shelia… She inadvertently angered the Perry family, and as you’re aware, they hold significant power.

Shelia is vulnerable, and the Perry family could easily make her disappear.

Ray Films has also taken action, blocking her and even sharing a compromising video of her and her former boyfriend on the internet.

Shelia’s reputation is in a mess, making it challenging for her to find a spouse in the future, let alone continue her career in the entertainment industry.

”

Rupert listened quietly, lighting a cigarette between his fingers and reclining on the sofa.

“Tell me about your stepdaughter’s boyfriend.

There are plenty of people with the Walsh last name.

What makes you think I’d be interested in him?”

Kendra’s lips curled slightly as she replied, “He’s tall and striking, with an imposing presence.

It made me feel…

She glanced at Rupert and said, “He looks like you.

”

“Oh?” Rupert’s curiosity piqued as he raised an intrigued eyebrow.

“Continue.

”

“I’m not sure of his full name yet.

He started as my stepdaughter’s fake boyfriend.

Rumor has it he was poor.

I’m puzzled about his commanding presence.

Eventually, they became an actual couple.

”

“A poor guy?” Rupert’s expression turned thoughtful.

This was intriguing.

He straightened up on the sofa, taking a long drag from his cigarette.

He considered that showing Kendra a photo of Domenic might make it easier for her to identify him.
