Chapter 196 Stellan Storm, I Underestimated You

"How did your considerations go?" Marigold was a bit nervous when she heard Galatea say she had thought it over.

If Galatea could just leave Arizona and never come back, she could be generous and let her see her child once or twice a year.

"I won't agree to the conditions you mentioned." Galatea was firm about this.

"What did you just say? You won't agree to the conditions I mentioned?" This surprised Marigold greatly and made her feel uneasy. "You don't want to see your son. Don't forget, your son is in my hands now, and you have no right to choose." Galatea said coldly, "Marigold Rogers, I've made it clear. I can agree to any conditions you propose. I just want my son back. But the choice you've given me, not only will my child not be returned to me, but you also want me to hand over two other children. I simply won't agree to such arrogant conditions. Regardless, we were once a family. "I truly don't want things to escalate, but you've pushed me to this."

Upon hearing Galatea's words, Marigold was truly on edge. What wicked scheme had Galatea come up with this time? It must be Alaric backing her up, giving her such confidence.

Marigold threatened, "Stellan Storm, you really don't know your place. Meeting with you is already giving you face. You know it's easy for me to crush you now. What do you have to fight me with?"

Galatea continued, "I know you, Marigold Rogers, are wealthy and influential. I am just a commoner now, indeed unable to compete with you. But I won't let you exploit me like you did six years ago. I've contacted the media. If you insist on not returning my son, I will hold a press conference and expose everything from the past."

"What did you say!" This was completely unexpected for Marigold. After hearing it, she was furious. "You want to hold a press conference and expose everything from the past! Stellan Storm, have you gone mad? You had children for money, such despicable behavior, and you have the nerve to expose it?"

"My child is far more important than my dignity!" Galatea corrected sternly. "And there's one thing I need to clarify with you. Back then, we both benefited from the situation. I didn't just have children for your son. We were legally married. I am your daughter-in-law, based on the validity of our marriage. Whether that marriage is genuine, only you know. If it is, then I am your son's wife. And six years ago, my 'medical death' was indirectly caused by Marigold Rogers. Now that I'm back alive, you can't just silence me as if I never existed, morally, ethically, or legally.

Galatea continued, "If that marriage is fake, then you were deceiving from the start, and the embarrassment will fall on you, not me. Marigold Rogers, if your son is now in a new marriage and he's unaware of my existence throughout, then the deception lies with you. If he does know and still wants me to keep quiet, it shows what kind of people you both are. But no matter what, once this comes to light, your son's current marriage will be affected. Scandals in high society are always juicy gossip, and no matter how wealthy and influential you are, you can't control public opinion or the voices of netizens. Marigold Rogers, you are a person of status and reputation, and your family's image is crucial. If you return my child to me, I promise to keep quiet about everything, bury the truth deep inside, and never show up in front of your family again. This deal is very advantageous for you."

Upon hearing Galatea's words, Marigold couldn't help but tremble with anger.

This bitch either truly didn't know or was intentionally provoking her.

If she gave her back the child, she would never appear in front of Marigold's family again. If she did, would Alaric agree to let her leave?

She was certain that even if she wanted to leave, Alaric wouldn't agree. This malicious woman!

Marigold mocked, "Stellan Storm, I underestimated you. How dare you threaten me now?"

Galatea replied, "Marigold Rogers, as I told you earlier, I never wanted to make this situation more embarrassing, but I truly have no choice. And from your past and present attitudes, you've never treated me as your daughter-in-law. You've only seen me as a tool for having children for your son. You even look down on this tool, thinking I'm just a cheap woman who had children for your son for money. If you thought so lowly of me, why did you seek me out in the first place? Why did you let me marry into your family and have children for your son? I did everything as you requested. I had the child, your son survived the crisis, and once my usefulness as a tool was over, you kicked me aside. Marigold Rogers, from start to finish, am I the despicable one, or are you the heartless one?"

"Stellan Storm!" Marigold shouted in anger, "You despicable woman, how dare you speak to me like this!"

Galatea sneered. "Marigold Rogers, I advise you not to underestimate a mother. You will never know to what lengths a mother will go for her child. I have already filed a report at the police station, and I have written my will. If anything happens to me, my will shall be made public, and you won't walk away unscathed. If you won't let me live in peace, then we'll go down together!"

This time, Galatea really made up his mind. After speaking, she didn't give Marigold a chance to respond.

Galatea said, "I'll give you one day. Call me within a day. If I don't hear from you, if I don't see my son, I will immediately hold a press conference."

Marigold shouted, "Stellan Storm, you..."

Upon hearing that Galatea had hung up, Marigold was so angry that she threw her phone away. She felt a sharp pain in her chest. Seeing her in this state, Joe hurriedly supported her and instructed the staff, "Quick, bring Mrs. Marigold her heart medication!"

Marigold's heart had never been strong, and after being thoroughly provoked, she felt intense pain. After taking the medication handed to her by the staff, she swallowed a pill immediately and took a while to recover. Marigold roared, "This is outrageous! Stellan Storm, this despicable woman, she actually wants to trample over me! Going against my wishes, then turning around to threaten me. Despicable woman, damn it, despicable woman!" Just as Marigold finished speaking, another staff member rushed in to report. "Mrs. Marigold, Mr. Alaric Junior has returned." Alaric had arrived.

Marigold stormed out in anger, and Joe quickly supported her, saying, "Mrs. Marigold, please don't get agitated. Calm down."

But Marigold couldn't hear anything anymore. She walked out to the yard and faced Alaric, extremely agitated, saying, "Alaric, let me make this clear to you. This house can't have both Galatea and me. If you truly want to bring that Galatea into this house, I'll die to show you!"
