The Billionaire's Hidden Affection

An unprecedented fear completely enveloped her: she realized that behind the glory and wealth, it was so vulnerable.

Only now did she understand why her son repeatedly asked: Do you want to live somewhere else?

Her son had hinted many times, both openly and subtly, but she outrightly refused them all. Why go to another place? Language barrier, lack of entertainment, no friends or family... No, these aren’t the main reasons, the key is, in another place, she wouldn’t enjoy this feeling of being "the center of attention."

Just mention the daughter-in-law’s name, who wouldn’t be envious?

The daughter of a wealthy family, with abundant resources, all relatives wanted to bask in her glory, hence they flocked around.

Over the past two years, Huang’s mom had absolutely become the queen in her circle of relatives and friends.

At one time, she was thankful for having such a glorious daughter-in-law. Had Huang Xiaojue married Yan Xixi, she would’ve never experienced such a halo.

Now, she feels completely powerless.

This halo comes at a great cost.

Her son said: Mom, you should move to another place.

Her husband also said: Move somewhere to ease the son’s mind.

But when one’s vanity is at its peak, who would think of such a distant move?

There were thousands of opportunities to leave, but she, stubbornly, refused them all.

In extreme panic, she only worried about her son.

Xiaojue, you must definitely not come.

She really wanted to call her son or her husband, but looking around, the phone was missing—the room didn’t even have a landline, and the windows were nailed shut—they had completely locked her in here.

Son, can you find me?

She was so scared that she could barely breathe.

The car sped up.

Zhou Ting dashed home like a gust of wind. Her mother didn’t have time to speak; she had already rushed to her room and slammed the door shut.

Mother went in.

"Tingting... Tingting..."

She suddenly jumped up, hysterical: "I want to kill Huang Xiaojue... I want to kill this unfaithful, untrustworthy person..."

Mother raised her hand: "Calm down! Tingting, you need to calm down! Over such a small matter, you can’t turn against Huang Xiaojue immediately..."

"Calm down? How can you ask me to be calm? Once unfaithful, always mistrusted, if he can deceive us in Yan Xixi’s matter, he can deceive us in other matters; now, I really suspect he’s secretly plotting..."

"But, aside from this matter, there’s no evidence of his betrayal..."

"Isn’t there? How did Old A betray us? How did Wan Donglin get all our information? Even, how was he initially nominated as the president of the Joint Chamber of Commerce?"

"There’s no direct evidence that it was Huang Xiaojue who did this."

"It was him!"

"Tingting!"

Her mother shouted: "Now it’s the crucial moment when we need people, don’t let minor grievances push Huang Xiaojue to the extreme!"

She shook, slowly awakening from her fervent anger.

Indeed, surrounded by enemies already, another adversary would be disastrous. She just bit her lips tightly, keeping silent.

Just then, the phone rang.

Seeing her expression, the mother immediately realized it was Huang Xiaojue.

She quickly gestured, whispering: "Tingting, you must hold your ground..."

Tingting reluctantly nodded, only then did she answer the phone.

Huang Xiaojue got straight to the point: "Where’s my mom?"
