Chapter 1335 Who Have You Not Let Down?

His mother finally discovered that Ace had been keeping a mistress on the side and that

the woman was already pregnant with his child.

Jade couldn't bear such grievances, and, in her distress, she pushed the woman.

The woman, seizing the opportunity, fell to the ground, and his father slapped his mother

without hesitation. He even questioned her intentions and said that the child in the

woman's belly was still his.

Later, his uncle had to intervene and arrange for them to get a divorce as the situation

became uncontrollable.

However, at the time of the divorce, Ace was at fault and wouldn't be able to get a pretty

sum out of the failed marriage. Moreover, the Baker Enterprise was finally on the right

track due to his uncle's support. How could Ace be foolish enough to give up everything he

had gained with the divorce?

Afterward, no one knew how Ace sweet-talked his mother into compliance. Regardless, the

two of them continued to live together peacefully.

His uncle couldn't interfere in their relationship, so in the end, he worked to transfer most

of the company's shares to his mother.

Many years have passed, and Ace hadn't changed his ways in the slightest. Rather, he had

taken steps to ensure that everything was more discreet. He couldn't rock the boat and be

so brazen with his indulgence as he didn't want a divorce.

Nonetheless, it was an open secret that he still had a mistress or perhaps mistresses.

Nathan didn't know whether his mother had become numb over time or simply hadn't

learned about them, as the two of them hadn't had any quarrels regarding Ace's infidelity.

Of course, Nathan could understand that as a man, there were some unavoidable social

obligations. Yet, he felt utterly aghast when he learned about his father's shameful lack of

loyalty to his mother. However, he didn't want to hurt his mother, so he had been

suppressing every insult he wanted to utter and tried to play happy family as long as his

mother remained unharmed.

Now, Ace dared to enforce his own set of principles to lecture Nathan on how to conduct

himself. It was worth noting that the person he least respected was Ace. Yet, this repulsive

little man dared to claim that Halma was only with him for money and status. How

laughable! It was as though he and his bedmates weren't guilty of the same!

So, Nathan felt his lips twitch into an ugly sneer before retorting, "Do you know how long

I've known Halma? Do you know that when she first met me, I was a worthless pauper?

Don't compare my woman to your flings. She has never cared about my money.

Furthermore, don't compare me to the likes of you. I'm not greedy like you. I don't need

you to teach me how to live. You didn't fulfill your responsibilities as a father, and now…

Congratulations, you don't need to worry about that little problem. Take some time to

reflect on yourself. You've been alive for over forty years but who have you not let down?

Your wife, your son, or your mistress?"

After that, he didn't even wait for a response as he turned around decisively, leaving in a

decidedly carefree manner. Finally, all the venom in his heart had hit his victim and the air

felt even sweeter for it.

Ace could hardly believe it. He pointed at Nathan and was unable to utter a word. His son

had thrown everything right at his face. Nathan's just being rebellious. That's definitely it.

He'll see that I'm right!

Nathan had just barely grown into his power, yet the boy dared his father like that!

After a while, he finally reacted and chased after Nathan, shouting, "Nathan, how dare

you?! Get back here! How can you speak to me like that?"

Unfortunately, Nathan could care less for a man with a personality as enchanting as

plankton.

Ace then turned to Jade and said, "Look at the disobedient son you raised. He's ignorant

and unreasonable! How dare he speak to me like that?"

On the other hand, Jade had finally calmed down after Nathan's outburst. So, she simply

sat gracefully on the couch and raised her eyes to look at him. "What's wrong? Did he say

something incorrect?"

Ace froze in place as he furrowed his brows tightly. "What do you mean by that? Are you

also trying to bring up the past?"

She remained silent as her gaze grew increasingly cold.

He said wearily, "Jade, is there a need for this? Can't we just let the past go?"

Alas, she remained non-committal as a faint arc formed at the corner of her mouth. "I just

want to ask the same question as our son posed. After living for over forty years, who

have you not let down? How can you shamelessly use your experiences and lord it over

Nathan? Do you want him to be like you? Do you expect him to casually walk down the

aisle with someone and indulge in a life of debauchery without constraints?"
