Book 1 My Kids and HisMistress Kicked Me Out of theHouse My husband betrayed me with my stepsister , and even my own children conspired to hide their deceit .
Seeking solace from my parents , I was met with admonishment to be the bigger person and allow my husband to go to my stepsister .
To my dismay , they allied with him to evict me from the villa , conveniently forgetting that they had coerced me into marrying Orson Griffin in the first place to protect their own standing .
Ultimately , I walked away , securing half of the familys fortune .
I then welcomed three children from an orphanage into my life .
Every ounce of my love went into raising them .
One displayed remarkable business acumen early on and established a vast enterprise , becoming the wealthiest magnate in the world .
Another became the director of a premier research institute , devoted to pioneering technological breakthroughs .
The third rose to the position of principal at the esteemed Winchester International Institute .

No trace remained of the once soft , tearful boy who used to call me Mommy .
I anticipated his visit once word spread that I had returned to the U.S.
Back then , he had glared at me with hatred , teeth clenched .
Youll regret this , Clarisse ! he had vowed .
Now , confronted with my indifference , he frowned slightly .
Whats wrong ? Even after claiming half our familys assets , you ended up destitute , crashing in some shabby hotel ? Disregarding his derision , I asked coolly , Is this the reason you sought me out after 20 years ? Not at all ! Were it not for Mom , I wouldnt have bothered , he replied , pausing momentarily .
This Saturday marks my parents 20th wedding anniversary , and theyre hosting a celebration .
Some nosy reporters dredged up old stories about you .
Grandpa and Grandma discovered youre back and asked me to invite you .
I nodded calmly , needing no further contemplation .
After all , I was the one who had fed those rumors to the reporters .
It was time for a visit .
Juniper appeared taken aback by how easily I consented .
Ill have someone send you a dress , he sneered .
Look at you now so poor , its embarrassing .
Dont worry .
When youre too old to work , Juno and I will provide some financial help .
But dont even dream of getting anything else from my family .
And at the party , when reporters probe , youd better be cautious with your words .
Grandpa and Grandma want you to prioritize the reputations of the Griffins and Hawkesworths .
Dont humiliate them like you did back then .

His condescending speech concluded , he scrutinized me , a look of disdain lingering on his face .
Observing him now , I couldnt help but recall a time when he suffered a severe allergic reaction to peanuts .
His face swelled , his eyes drooped , and his breathing labored .
In utter panic , I rushed him to the hospital .
The doctors saved him , but on the hospital bed , he cried , Mommy forced me to eat peanuts ! She was punishing me because Eloise took me out to play , and she didnt like it .
I insisted it wasnt true , that he concocted the story .
Yet no one believed me .
Relatives labeled me cruel , accused me of endangering my childs life , of abusing him .
And just like that , my reputation was shattered .
