My Husband Let His Cruel Mother Abuse Me, Until My Powerful Father Arrived
Previously: When Sarah's husband chose his cruel mother over his pregnant wife, he thought she had no one. He didn't know her father was the most powerful man in the city.
The Truth Unveiled
Thomas spun around, his anger instantly dissolving into pure shock. He knew exactly who Arthur was—the billionaire tycoon whose influence stretched across the entire state. But Thomas had never made the connection, as Sarah had deliberately hidden her wealthy background to find someone who loved her for who she was, not her father's money. Now, that decision felt like a tragic mistake.
"Arthur...?" Thomas stammered, his face draining of color. He took a step back as Arthur approached, his towering frame casting a long shadow over the younger man. Arthur glared at him with an intensity that made Thomas tremble. "And you will answer for every tear," Arthur threatened, his voice low and dangerous.
Victoria rushed down the stairs, her arrogant sneer replaced by a desperate, sycophantic smile. "Mr. Vance! There must be some misunderstanding," she pleaded, her voice cracking. "We were just having a family discussion. Sarah is highly sensitive in her condition."
Arthur didn't even look at her. He signaled to one of his guards, who stepped forward and handed him a thick manila folder. Arthur flipped it open, his eyes scanning the documents inside before he looked back at Thomas with a cold, mocking smile.
"A family discussion?" Arthur asked quietly. "Is that what you call hiding your family's impending bankruptcy? Is that why you married my daughter, Thomas? Because you discovered who her father was, even though she thought you didn't know?"
Sarah gasped, looking at Thomas in disbelief. The pieces of the puzzle suddenly fell into place. The sudden insistence on marriage, the pressure to move into his family estate, the subtle hints about her father's business—it had all been a calculated lie. Thomas had known all along, and his mother had orchestrated the entire scheme to save their failing empire.
