CHAPTER 7

Theodore couldn't understand why he was being stared at by most of the workers some where looking at him and even sneering.

He knew his father didn't give the company to him but that doesn't mean he should be treated like dirt right?

Karina dialed Theodore's number she was sure he didn't know about what was happening.

Theodore walked out of the company when he heard his phone ring.

"Rina what's wrong? I told you i was looking for a job today..."

"I don't think you'll get one." Karina replied.

"Why?" Theodore asked surprised.

"There's a derogatory post about you." Karina replied.

Theodore could feel his head spin he has been thinking he wasn't getting a job for some other reason but that was because someone ruined his reputation he decided to check his phone and see what was really on the posts.

Theodore's identity as an illegitimate child was revealed. Robert Brantley had only announced Albert his heir but no one knew why.

The post went on to call his mother a promiscuous woman who wasn't faithful to her husband and even paid a man to have sex with her and worse she willingly carried the strangers baby.

The post even suggested that she must have something going on with the man who got her pregnant.

They completely ruined his mother's identity. None of those things were true.

Theodore knew his mother was not that kind of person. She was kind and even if he wasn't really Robert's son. Karina was and his mom never cheated on Robert ever again.

He was sure the incident with his birth must have been an accident.

Now he understood why Karina was crying her mother's reputation was completely ruined.

Last night.

Albert walked into Nathalie's condo and together the two started hatching a plan as to how they would tarnish Theodore's image.

"I got it."

"What?" Albert asked.

"No one knows Theodore's an illegitimate child right?" Nathalie asked.

"Yes." Albert replied.

"That's perfect we'll post evidence of Theodore's real identity."

"You're a genius and also ruin his mother's image in the process." Albert said with a smile.

"What?" Nathalie asked confused.

"Yes, well he punched me for talking about his mother didn't he? Well let's see how he reacts to her reputation being tainted." Albert said he wanted revenge for the injury on his face.

"I don't think I want to be a part of this Albert." Nathalie protested.

"Why not?"

"Mrs Brantley is already dead." Nathalie reminded.

"So?" Albert asked.

"It's not a nice thing to do." Nathalie said.

"Don't worry Nathalie."

Nathalie didn't want Theodore's mom to be involved. She was really nice to her when she was alive. When Theodore introduced her to his mom, she treated her well she was never mean or rude to her.

She treated her like any mother would which was why she was hesitant about going ahead with Albert's plan.

"Come on babe don't give me that look. Well if you can't do it I'll do it myself." Albert said and Nathalie nodded.

They had posted it anonymously. And Albert smiled seeing his father had some explaining to do all he has to do was praise his mom for helping him with the heart break. And also telling the world Theodore was no longer allowed in his company.

Albert was so happy and elated when his plans were going in the right direction. He was wishing he could see Karina and Theodore's face when they see their father smearing their mother's name all the more.

"Mr Brantley this post about Theodore is it true that he is not your son?" A reporter asked.

"Yes." Robert answered calmly even though he was a bit upset about the post.

"Does that mean your wife has been having an affair?" The reporters asked almost in unison.

"Well when I found out she was having an affair, Theodore was already a lot older. I had to do a DNA test on both my kids and it was confirmed that Theodore is not my son. It would appear that Kendra wanted to threaten the doctors to keep Theodore's identity a secret." Robert explained.

"And what about Albert, how is he your son then were you also having an affair?" Another reporter asked.

"Well I filed for a divorce but Kendra wouldn't grant it she threatened she would hurt someone I cared about a great deal." Robert lied.

"Was it Mrs Dalia by any chance?" One of the reporters asked.

"No, Dalia helped heal my broken heart from the nightmares that Kendra put me through. I love her so much that I wanted to divorce Kendra but she didn't want to grant my request even when she was the one hurting me." Robert said and the crowd was somehow on his side feeling sorry for him.

"So, you lived with her all these years?" Another reporter asked.

"I didn't want her to hurt anyone so I did my best to stay with her." Robert said and they pitied him all the more.

"She even threatened to kill Albert when she found out about his existence." Robert added.

"Which was why somehow I was a bit relieved she died." Robert said.

Theodore watched as his mother was being painted a devil. A tear rolled down his eyes. How could Robert say that about her when he was the one who did all those things.

Killing intent rose in his heart. Even without investigating he knew Albert and his mother had a hand in this.

A man in his late forties was seated in his home drinking champagne when his subordinate walked in.

He bowed respectfully to him and began speaking.

"It has finally been released to the world about Mr Theodore's identity." Oliver reported.

"Also..." Oliver hesitated.

"What is it Oliver you know I hate it when people keep my interest piqued and refuses to speak." The man said calmly.

"I think you should see it yourself." Oliver said handing the phone to him. He read through the post and immediately asked Oliver to turn on the TV.

"He is still a cocky bastard isn't he?" He asked watching Robert.

"What do you want to do sir?" Oliver asked.

"It's time to proceed to the next phase."

"Yes sir." Oliver bowed he knew what the next phase was and he left to carry it out.

Theodore was seated in a quiet street. He wanted to calm his nerves and think about his next phase of plan.

He was soon surrounded by men in well tailored suits.

"You need to come with us sir." One of them spoke.
