Chapter 2031
Ayden and Betsy’s secret love affair was finally discovered by Natalie.
At that time, Natalie had already arranged a match for Ayden, a wealthy heiress from a family of equal social
status. The plan was to get them engaged within the year.
But Ayden, who had never resisted his mother’s decisions, rebelled against this one.
Natalie knew her son too well. She knew that his resistance meant something was up. It wasn’t hard to figure out.
It was on Ayden’s birthday. The first and only birthday he spent with his beloved girl.c2
He told his therapist, “She stayed up with me until midnight, was the first to wish me a happy birthday. We woke up

When they returned home, their happiness was shattered.
Natalie was waiting at the door of his apartment. Dressed in all her finery, she slapped Betsy across the face, “So it
was you all along? The Silvermans took pity on you, paid for you and your sister’s education, and you repay us by
setting your sights on becoming the lady of the Silverman house?”
“Mrs. Natalie, I’m not….” Natalie cut her off, and slapped her again, “Who do you think you are?”
Ayden was dumbstruck. By the time he snapped back to reality, Natalie had had him dragged into the elevator.
Ayden tried to resist, but Natalie simply said, “Break up with her now, and we can pretend this never happened.
Otherwise, the next time you see her, she’ll be a corpse.”
She added, “Ayden, I don’t care if you hate me. Sooner or later, you’ll realize that the common girl can’t compare
to the match I’ve arranged for you.” According to the case file, Ayden said, “After that, I lost all contact with Betsy I
knew my mother must have threatened her too. She has a younger sister…
Rosalynn saw this coming.
Ayden was having a breakdown. His hallucinations and delusions were particularly severe.
He
said there was a severely injured grizzly bear in his house, always watching him. And there were little people, the
size of fingers, running around his
room.
The bear would attack him. When he fought back, he’d always get injured, with blood gushing from his head. The
little people kept him from sleeping. At first, Natalie thought he was putting on a show, trying to force her to let him

She then contacted Professor Osmond, who had helped them in the past,
Ayden’s first visit to Osmond’s lab was in the depths of winter.
In his conversations with Osmond, there were only two topics, hating his mother, and missing Betsy
As Natalie watched her son slowly wither away, and after much persuasion from Osmond, she finally agreed to let
Ayden see the person he wanted to

By the time Betsy arrived at the lab, the two hadn’t seen each other for almost a year.
When Ayden saw Betsy, he didn’t react at first. He’d been talking to an imaginary Betsy a lot during that time. So he
thought she was another hallucination.
It wasn’t until Betsy hugged him, crying, that the numbness and indifference on Ayden’s face began to crumble.
