Chapter 610
Chapter 610
Calvin had become obsessed with leading a luxurious life.
William had become ill after working hard for most of his life. When he saw how useless Calvin was and how he was squandering the money that William had earned, he was so angry that he began having problems with his heart.
In order to control Calvin, William found someone to arrange a marriage for him.
Calvin refused to marry, so William cut him off in a fury.
Without any income, Calvin was treated with contempt by many people. In the end, he had no choice but to obey William's orders and marry Cheryl Baker, Bianca's mother.
Two years later, they had Bianca.
However, Calvin had not changed his behavior.
While Bianca was still a newborn, Calvin went out and partied all the time.
He never even went to the hospital to visit William, even though William's condition deteriorated several times and he had to have emergency care.
William was thoroughly disappointed in Calvin.
He called Rosalie and made his will. He divided all the stock he owned into three portions.
Cheryl would get 30 percent of the shares, while Bianca got 21 percent.
Rosalie received 49 percent of the shares.
Before he died, William told Rosalie and Cheryl that if Calvin truly repented, they could decide whether they wanted to share any of their shares with him.
Rosalie had no objection, as Calvin was her older brother.
She had to manage the business that the Murrays had handed her, and she was finding it difficult to take care of
both.
She knew what William wanted. He had given her the larger share of the stock to keep it safe for Calvin.
Cheryl had no objection either. As long as Calvin came back and settled down, she would let him have her shares. Cheryl was a smart and capable woman.
She raised Bianca on her own while managing the company.
Within two years, she had managed to raise the company's profits to twice as much as it had been.
William lay in the hospital for two years, but Calvin never even visited him once until the day he died.
Bianca said, "Grandpa died in the summer of 1990."
"The day he was buried, Calvin came back. He knelt in front of Grandpa's grave for three days and three nights in mourning clothes. He didn't eat or drink anything for all three days.
"Aunt Rosalie and Mom were afraid that he would ruin his health, so they decided to forgive him." Bianca sat dully at the head of the bed and smiled mockingly.
"Was your father faking it?" Wanda could already guess the end of the story from Bianca's expression.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
If Calvin had been truly repentant, he wouldn't have remarried, and he would never have allowed Bianca to suffer such abuse.
Bianca did not answer Wanda's question. She seemed to be talking to herself as she said, "When he first came back, Calvin treated Mom so well. Mom wanted him to learn how to take care of a business from her, but he said he didn't come back for the shares.
"He just wanted to take care of Mom and me. After that, he did keep to his word for a time. He would drive Mom to and from work every day, and while she was working, he would keep her company with me.
"This only went on for about two months."
"In September of that year, Calvin drove the car into the river while bringing Mom home from work." Bianca was in tears.
She covered her mouth as her entire body trembled.
Wanda was crying silently with her.
She felt as if she would burst from anger.
Cheryl had been raising a child while managing a company.
She was such a wonderful woman.
How could Calvin have done such a thing?
Wanda had initially thought Calvin only returned to fight for his inheritance and would divorce Cheryl once he had it to continue living the life he wanted.
Who could have imagined that he would kill Cheryl?
He had done a terrible thing. It would anger anyone who even heard of it.
Wanda had never cursed in her life, but she felt like Calvin deserved to be sworn at.
Bianca calmed down very quickly. She continued, "Calvin and Mom were both rescued by passersby. Mom had already stopped breathing when they got her out, but Calvin was fine. After they tested everything, the verdict was that the car's brakes had failed.
"Aunt Rosalie didn't believe it, so she hired a private investigator to dig deeper. However, he didn't end up finding anything, and Calvin took all the shares that belonged to Mom."
"At the end of the year, Calvin brought back a woman who had just returned from abroad. They got married on the 25th of January the following year. That was the start of my nightmare."
