A Husband Attacks His Wife in the Hospital Until a Powerful Stranger Steps In
Previously: Just moments after giving birth, Clara faced her husband's violent rage in her hospital room. But when a mysterious older man intervened, a dark family secret was finally exposed.
Julian smoothed his wrinkled charcoal lapels, trying to regain his composure, though his hands shook with rage. He glared at the older man, his voice dripping with venom.
"You have no right to interfere in my family affairs, Vance," Julian spat, stepping forward. "Clara is my wife, and what happens in this room is none of your business. Get out before I have security throw you out."
Arthur stood tall, his silver hair catching the harsh glare of the surgical lights. He didn't flinch. Instead, a cold, knowing smile touched his lips.
The Secret Revealed
"I have every right, Julian," Arthur said, his voice deadly calm. "Because Clara is my daughter. The daughter you lied to, telling her that her biological family had abandoned her. The daughter whose trust fund you have been draining since the day you forced her into this sham of a marriage."
Clara gasped, looking up through her tears. For years, Julian had convinced her that she was completely alone in the world, making her entirely dependent on his mercy. To discover that the wealthy, kind-hearted Arthur Vance was the father she had been told was dead left her utterly breathless.
Julian let out a harsh, mocking laugh.
"So what if you're her father? You're too late," Julian sneered, pulling a folded document from his breast pocket. "Clara signed the power of attorney over to me yesterday. The Vance estate, the trusts, the accounts—they are all legally mine now. You can't touch me, old man."
The nurse, Sarah, finally found her voice.
"I've already called security, and the police are on their way," she warned, her voice trembling but resolute.
Julian merely smirked, confident that his legal paperwork made him invincible. He looked down at Clara with a chilling look of triumph. But Arthur’s expression remained completely unbothered, harboring a secret of his own that was about to shatter Julian's world.
