Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee

Bruce sensed an underlying motive in Jonah's words.
“What are you insinuating?”
“Simply put, I'm not her biological son. Consequently, her partiality extends
disproportionately to Marcus. You, my son, are similarly a casualty of her
inequity.”
Bruce's retort was immediate.
“What nonsense is this?"
“In my childhood, it became evident to me that Claudia favored her other two
sons more than me. For a long time, I couldn't fathom why.

The truth only unveiled itself when I overheard a conversation between her and
my father. It transpired that I was conceived under dubious circumstances, the
result of a waitress slipping a drug into my father’s drink. It turned out that I was
his illegitimate child-a perpetual thorn in Claudia’s side. How could she possibly
extend kindness to me?”
Jonah'’s revelation reached back to his nine-year-old self, trapped in a quandary
of helplessness. With Victor's subsequent departure for Raven Island, the
Thomas family hierarchy solidified under Claudia’s authority.
Before uncovering the hidden truth, Jonah, oblivious to the clandestine reality,
puzzled over Claudia’s failure to extend him warmth and kindness. Post-
revelation, his perspective shifted dramatically. A newfound dread of her, the
once-maternal figure, gripped him. Fear gnawed at him, painting the specter of
expulsion from the esteemed Thomas family under her command.
Jonah had no other kin to rely on, leaving him with an acute awareness that
expulsion from the family’s fold would undoubtedly spell his demise.
Unintentionally overhearing a conversation, Jonah learned that the very waitress
who had administered the drugged concoction to my father was, in fact, his
biological mother. Tragically, her life was cut short by a catastrophic hemorrhage
during childbirth. The once- cherished dreams of a prosperous life had been
irrevocably shattered.
The child's blood relation to Victor prompted his inclusion into the family. Victor's
gesture to dismiss the household staff aimed to appease Claudia. He assured
her that the child was oblivious to his true parentage and would regard her as his
mother. Persuaded by this rationale, Claudia consented to his retention within the
family.
To avoid being ousted from the Thomas family, he adopted an increasingly
compliant demeanor. Even as he matured, he concealed his true feelings and
projected an air of detachment from the world.
Yet, he alone harbored the knowledge that he needed to grow stronger.
As Victor's son, he held an equal claim to inheritance rights.
He safeguarded this secret over the years, even refraining from sharing it with his
wife, fearing that Claudia would regard him with suspicion if she became aware.
Fortuitously, despite Bruce's playful demeanor, Claudia extended him genuine
kindness.
When he learned this, Bruce was taken aback. Had Jonah not revealed it today,
he would forever remain oblivious to the fact that Claudia bore no actual relation
to him.
It became clear why Claudia consistently favored Marcus.
Even Leon, absent for an extended span, had been appointed a project
executive under Claudia’s direction.
