Chapter 179
However, Theresa’s denial was not very convincing to Roderick, who acted as if he already knew.
Roderick asked, “Why do you want to hide this?”
Theresa did not answer, lowering her head and looking at the water in her glass.
Roderick saw that she didn’t answer and asked, “How about… I go ask Charlie about this directly?”
“Wait.” Theresa looked at the man, she knew she couldn’t hide it anymore, and pleaded, “Charlie doesn’t know. Can
you not tell him yet?”
Roderick heard her and rubbed his chin, saying, “Why? The two children of Cristina’s are sent back to the Calsis
family, and you know that! Those people love the two children very much. If you hide it now, maybe later the
children will hate you for the rest of their lives. After all, they could grow up as the Calsis family’s children and you
are depriving them of the opportunity to grow up by their father’s side.”
As Charlie’s children, they would also inherit the Calsis family’s property later… These were all things to consider!

couldn’t figure out any reason for Theresa’s concealment.
Hearing Roderick’s words, Theresa realized that he did not know the whole truth. She looked at Roderick and said,
“I don’t think it’s necessary, and I don’t care about that.”
At her words, Roderick said, “Though you don’t think it’s necessary, I think it’s important. I talked to the person in
charge last night and asked about things about you. She said that of the information in the hospital, she had only
destroyed one copy.
The one that had to do with Charlie.”
He continued, “If the children were born to you, then what about Cristina’s two children? Maybe she’s a pawn of
Charlie’s enemies. It’s a recipe for disaster! If you don’t say it now, it is possible that later, someone will grab the
property with your children. Have you not thought about all these issues? You are now Charlie’s wife, you should be
well aware of the stakes, right?
Charlie was extremely concerned about this kind of thing and had asked Roderick to check on the children before.
For
Roderick, he thought at that time that Cristina’s children were born in the hospital, and Theresa’s children were
disposed of by the person in charge. However, everything seemed to be the opposite of the truth. Cristina did not
give birth to her children at the hospital at all. In that case, how did her children come to be?
Hearing Roderick making Cristina’s identity so scary, Theresa wiped her sweat and explained, “I think you might be
letting your imagination run away with you.. Cristina is my friend.” Theresa continued, “She was the one who was
with me when I gave birth. We’ve been together for the past few years.”
Roderick looked at Theresa, thought for seconds, and asked, “So, the two children that are now being sent back to
the Calsis family, are yours?”
Theresa nodded her head. She didn’t want to admit it, but she had to do so. She knew that if she didn’t say it
clearly, Roderick would definitely go to Charlie. If Charlie checked and found out that she and Cristina were lying to
him, there was no telling what Charlie would do with his character.
She answered, “Yes. Originally, I didn’t want them to be picked up, because Charlie and I are going to be separated

future. But now that things have turned out this way, I can’t do anything about it for the time being, so I just want to
let the children get along with Charlie. When Charlie and I are separated later, I will take them away. So, don’t tell
Charlie about this, can you?”
Roderick looked at her, caught the message in her words, and asked, “Aren’t you and Charlie married? Why do you
want to separate?” She has married Charlie, and she is still thinking of taking the children away. How naive!
Theresa said, “Charlie has a fiancée. I am just a substitute. How could he possibly be interested in me, a divorced
woman, Right? I’m with him now, only because of my family. If I don’t marry him, my family will go bankrupt.” At
this point, Theresal realized that she had said a little too much. She paused for a second before she continued, “No
matter what, I hope you won’t tell Charlie about this.” She knew that Roderick was very close to Charlie, but she still
pleaded with a slim hope to him.
Roderick looked at Theresa and said, “There is no point in hiding it. Besides, if you tell them about it, you should
have a
higher status in the Calsis family. After all, you are the mother of the children. Charlie will also…”
