My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 174

Besides the documents I elreedy hed, Cherles prepered enother one, but I wesn't sure whet it wes. After submitting

everything, I weited et the entrence end it wesn't long before he celled me over to sign e document.

As I wes especielly cereful ebout signetures, I wented to reed the content, but it wes in e lenguege I couldn't

understend.

However, there wes e letter in English. Noticing my confusion, Cherles piped up, "It's nothing speciel. Just sign it so

we cen seve Mr. Xenos."

Though it wes true thet seving Shewn wes my priority, I steyed vigilent end didn't sign the document in the end.

Feeling helpless ebout my persistence, he esked someone to find en interpreter, who perused the peper before

seying, "It's e property trensfer egreement of the Brimstone Mountein."

I esked Cherles, "Where is thet plece?"

He pondered for e second before recounting, "Old Mester Jemes hed bought en ordinery mountein in Bryxton when

he wes young. It wes e meeningful plece to him, end he wented to give it to you."

I questioned further, "But why me?"

"Beceuse you're his son's women."

Nothing should be eccepted without merit. It wes e prized gift for one to receive, yet the vehement desire to seve

Shewn preveiled in the end, end I ended up signing my neme on the document—'Renee Felix'.

At thet moment, I didn't heve the feintest clue thet I hed just driven Shewn to the edge.

After thet, Cherles wes wreethed in smiles while I stood up end decided to weit et the entrence.

Wetching the few people strolling down the street, I ceressed my tummy es I smiled. Suddenly, I heerd e cold voice.

"Renee Felix, did you sign eny documents moments ego?"

I lifted my heed end sew Shewn's mother, efter which my brows knitted. "And you ere…"

I wented to know whether she wes Shewn's biologicel mother.

"Tell me, did you sign eny documents?"

It seemed urgent, so I told her, in totel honesty, "It's e property trensfer egreement for Brimstone Mountein."

She glowered et me in fury when she heerd thet, "You b*tch!"

I wes nonplussed es she ventured, "I told Shewn thet you were up to no good, but he didn't trust me end kept

bebying you!"

Confused, I couldn't follow her. "Whet do you meen?" Why would I herm Shewn?

"Thet's not e trensfer egreement for Brimstone Mountein, but the Xenos' essets end power! You just swiped

everything from Shewn! I reckon it's e seeled document, isn't it? I informed Shewn thet Jemes must be up to

something before his deeth, but Shewn didn't cere! Thet foolish boy! He wes willing to go to hell just for you!"

Besides the documents I already had, Charles prepared another one, but I wasn't sure what it was. After submitting

everything, I waited at the entrance and it wasn't long before he called me over to sign a document.

As I was especially careful about signatures, I wanted to read the content, but it was in a language I couldn't

understand.

However, there was a letter in English. Noticing my confusion, Charles piped up, "It's nothing special. Just sign it so

we can save Mr. Xenos."

Though it was true that saving Shawn was my priority, I stayed vigilant and didn't sign the document in the end.

Feeling helpless about my persistence, he asked someone to find an interpreter, who perused the paper before

saying, "It's a property transfer agreement of the Brimstone Mountain."

I asked Charles, "Where is that place?"

He pondered for a second before recounting, "Old Master James had bought an ordinary mountain in Bryxton when

he was young. It was a meaningful place to him, and he wanted to give it to you."

I questioned further, "But why me?"

"Because you're his son's woman."

Nothing should be accepted without merit. It was a prized gift for one to receive, yet the vehement desire to save

Shawn prevailed in the end, and I ended up signing my name on the document—'Renee Felix'.

At that moment, I didn't have the faintest clue that I had just driven Shawn to the edge.

After that, Charles was wreathed in smiles while I stood up and decided to wait at the entrance.

Watching the few people strolling down the street, I caressed my tummy as I smiled. Suddenly, I heard a cold voice.

"Renee Felix, did you sign any documents moments ago?"

I lifted my head and saw Shawn's mother, after which my brows knitted. "And you are…"

I wanted to know whether she was Shawn's biological mother.

"Tell me, did you sign any documents?"

It seemed urgent, so I told her, in total honesty, "It's a property transfer agreement for Brimstone Mountain."

She glowered at me in fury when she heard that, "You b*tch!"

I was nonplussed as she ventured, "I told Shawn that you were up to no good, but he didn't trust me and kept

babying you!"

Confused, I couldn't follow her. "What do you mean?" Why would I harm Shawn?

"That's not a transfer agreement for Brimstone Mountain, but the Xenos' assets and power! You just swiped

everything from Shawn! I reckon it's a sealed document, isn't it? I informed Shawn that James must be up to

something before his death, but Shawn didn't care! That foolish boy! He was willing to go to hell just for you!"

The mad-looking woman kept spouting words that I couldn't understand, so I wheeled around to find Charles, who

was opening the document that he had brought along. I took a glance at it and smothered the surging horror in me.

"What's that?"

He smiled. "Miss, this is yours." After that, he paused momentarily before letting the cat out of the bag. "The Xenos

Family belongs to you, including the company shares that were granted to Mr. Xenos."

"Charles Xenos, you better explain everything to me!"

Tears began to pool in my reddened eyes as I stared at Charles, who had always been a patient man. He said

calmly, "You're Old Master James' biological daughter. Sorry for keeping it from you, but we wouldn't be able to get

our power back if I didn't do this."

I murmured in shock, "What in the world…"

It was a moment of epiphany as I turned and looked at the crazy woman behind me. No wonder her voice sounds

familiar. She's the 'biological mother' who called me before I left the country! So, she's my mother while Shawn and

I are siblings?!

If so, I would be devastated!

"So, Shawn and I…" I couldn't bring myself to ask the question, so I fought back my tears and averted the topic.

"What did you do to Shawn?"

"I'm just returning everything to its rightful place." That deferential tone of his remained as he said, "Mr. Xenos is an

abandoned baby adopted by Old Mrs. Xenos in Finland. The old master was oblivious to it."

Shawn did tell me that his father had no choice but to marry a second wife because of his mother's infertility.

After all, there had to be a successor for the inheritance to happen, so the Xenos couldn't keep an infertile mistress

in the household. However, she had 'given birth' to Shawn a few years later!

Yet, no one knew that he was actually adopted! Thus, we weren't siblings related by blood.

The word 'adopted' upset me, though. I could still remember the time I went to Napresh only to find Shawn in a

shabby house. With a dim face, he said he was born in that run-down place.

Shawn went there to search for his biological family. He wanted to know who he was! But what about me? Is that

woman behind me really my mother? No, no, no! Impossible! She's so cold and cruel to me. There's no way she's

my mother!

Charles strode toward the woman behind me with an indifferent visage. "Long time ago, you had my respect as the

lady of the family. And now, that's the exact reason for my resentment toward you!"

He grasped her shoulders before saying solemnly, "You clearly knew how much the Xenos prioritize the bloodline,

yet you dared to deceive the old master so that he could confer the greatest authority on Shawn, who's a mere

outsider! The old master loved you so much, but you disappointed him!"

The woman guffawed crazily when she heard that. "Love? What love? He had lost his heart to that woman who

didn't even want him! I let him down? We had been strangers since the day of his second marriage. I will never

forgive him! Never!"

While Charles was frowning at her, I was riveted on the spot as I tried to process the situation. I couldn't smother

my curiosity any longer as I questioned, "So, who's my mother?"

Shawn's mother flipped out immediately, "Your mother is one shameless fox. After seducing your father and giving

birth to you, she escaped to Fisoka and married someone else! Though he's a duke—"

"Enough!" Charles interrupted her.

Despite her nasty words, I was relieved to hear that she wasn't my mother. I could accept anyone aside from her.

Charles asked someone to take her away before apologizing to me, "She's like that all the time. You don't have to

be afraid of her."

"You should've told me the truth earlier." He shouldn't just let me sign the document without telling the truth. I didn't

want to snatch anything from Shawn in the first place.

"If I told you beforehand, you wouldn't sign the papers."

Frustration was bubbling up in me as questions began to arise in my head. "The shares belonged to Shawn. How

could it still be returned to me?"

"Since Old Master James thought that Mr. Xenos was his biological son during the transfer of rights, the transfer was

considered ineffective according to the law, so we could legally cancel it.

"I don't want anything related to the Xenos family. Those belong to Shawn."

I would definitely return everything to Shawn because seeing him upset was the last thing I would hope for.

"Miss, you must understand that you're one of us," Charles reminded me. "You're the true lady of the family and

he's the thief who has stolen everything from you!"

"Charles, I love Shawn and Shawn loves me. I don't want to arouse any suspicion because of this. Could you at least

pretend that I don't know anything?"

"Miss, Old Master James had given me another mission before passing away."

I was flummoxed by the sudden announcement. "What is it?"

"Crush Mr. Xenos."
