Chapter 13
“What is your identity? How dare you hit Archie? Julius asked, his face darkening as he quickly stepped forward to lift Archie up from the ground.”
Upon seeing this, Paula immediately fell silent and hurried over. “No, M Swanton, let me explain. It was Archie…”
“Archie? What’s wrong with Archie?” Before the woman could finish her sentence, Julius interrupted loudly, “Archie is the young master of the Swanton family. He can do whatever he wants. Who do you think you are to dare to hit him?”
As soon as the words fell, Archie suddenly burst into tears. “Dad, Paula told me that Mom is not my real mom, Paula is my real mom,” he said.
“Dad, is she lying? Paula is not mom, mom is mom, right?”
Upon hearing this, Julius’s face darkened a few shades, he smirked and his eyes were full of sarcasm, “What? Eileen just left for a few days and you already want to take over her responsibilities?”
“No, no, Mr. Swanton, let me explain,” Paula’s face turned pale in an instant, quickly waving her hands in denial, “I just wanted to…”
“What are you thinking?” Julius interrupted her rudely once again, “Do you want to become the mistress of the Swanton family, do you want Archie to recognize you as his mother?”
“Then I’ll tell you now, don’t even think about it, Archie’s mother can only be Eileen, and will always be Eileen!”
“As for you, a rough and uncouth woman from the countryside, are you
What did you say?” Paula exclaimed, widening her eyes and furrowing er brow in disbelief as she looked at Julius. “Didn’t you say you would elp me recognize Archie?”
did say those words, but I never said to hurt Eileen! You hurt Eileen, rossed my bottom line, do you want to die?!”
ulius glared angrily, his eyes bloodshot, making Paula feel a little guilty. I… I never harmed Ms. Greymoor, I don’t know what you’re talking bout.”
I don’t know what I’m talking about? Fine! In that case, let’s go to the tudy and have a good talk! And by the way, I’ll help you remember all the good things you’ve done! With that, he handed the child over to the servant, grabbed Paula, and headed upstairs.”
The door of the study was slammed shut with a loud “bang“.
The servants were all shocked and broke out in a cold sweat at the sight, as they had never seen Julius so angry before.
In the study, Julius pushed Paula to the ground forcefully.
The woman winced in pain, her eyebrows instantly furrowing. “Mr. Swanton, you hurt me!”
Julius smiled wryly, “Pain? So you know what pain feels like too?”
“Did you ever think about how much pain Eileen would feel when you had her kidnapped and severely injured?”
Upon hearing the news, Paula was extremely frightened. She stared at Julius in shock, unable to say a word.
“What? Can’t admit it?” Julius said, walking towards her and grabbing her

neck tightly. “I not only know that you kidnapped Eileen, but also know that you instructed Archie to drug her, and know that you threw her into the snake pit!”
“You said, why are you so cruel!”
Julius’s grip grew stronger and stronger, and Paula’s face had turned from red to purple.
She struggled hard, waving her hands constantly, trying to break free from Julius’s grip.
But the power disparity between men and women was so great that she had no chance of escape.
Just when she thought she was about to be strangled, Julius suddenly let go of her hand.
Paula collapsed to the ground instantly, coughing violently while clutching her neck, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Did he actually try to strangle her?
The man she had loved for five years actually wanted to strangle her?
Just because she moved Eileen?
But he had clearly said that Eileen was not important to him at all, Paula was the first person in his heart.
Were all of these lies to her?
No! It’s not possible!
He couldn’t have deceived her, she couldn’t have loved the wrong person!
Thinking of this, Paula ignored the pain in her necl-
