Chapter 849: Chapter 852: Rowena Gray’s Arrogance, All Because She Can Birth a Son
“Simon, I didn’t know before either, it’s all that woman’s fault, coming out of nowhere and ruining my plans. Simon… I don’t care, you have to save me this time!”
“Save you with what? Even if I plug the seventy-five-million loan loophole for you, what about hiring a murderer? Rowena Gray, you really have some nerve to even do something like hiring a murderer!”
“No, I didn’t!” Hearing Simon Taylor mention hiring a murderer, Rowena Gray suddenly clung to it like a lifeline.
“Simon, I’m being falsely accused! You have to believe me, I never hired anyone to kill!”
“Whether it’s a false accusation or not, go tell the judge, don’t tell me. The other side has conclusive witnesses and evidence; whatever sophistry you use will be useless!” Simon Taylor said cuttingly.
He was genuinely infuriated by Rowena Gray’s stupidity; if Rowena really were to be convicted for hiring a murderer, it would be Mrs. Taylor who hired the murderer.
He should never have married her on account of his young son!
“Simon, you can’t just abandon me!”
Rowena Gray, sensing that Simon Taylor was thinking of giving up on her, cried and begged him.
“Aren’t you Aidan Lucas’s uncle? In A City, as long as he speaks, who would dare not to give face? He just became the Speaker, as long as he’s willing to pressure the courtroom…”
“You think it’s too easy!” Simon Taylor interrupted her harshly.
Pointing at Rowena Gray’s nose, he scolded, “Do you think just because I’m Ethan Wilson’s uncle, I can casually order him to do things for me? Don’t you know that the boy is now like a walking calamity, who dares to provoke him!”
Since Larry Scott had locked him up once, Simon Taylor had clearly noticed his nephew’s transformation.

Not to mention, the death of Lily Gray had further traumatized his nephew.
To say he became cold, ruthless, and unrecognizable would not be an overstatement.
Seeing Simon Taylor not giving in, Rowena Gray covered the damaged half of her face and cried, “Simon, please help me… even if not for me, at least for the sake of our family’s Paul Davidson. Paul is still young, he can’t lose his mother at such a young age!”
When Rowena Gray mentioned Charles Taylor, she hit Simon Taylor’s soft spot.
Before Charles Taylor was born, Simon Taylor had only one daughter.
She was his and his late wife’s child; after his wife passed away, the daughter, who was a little older, was sent abroad for education.
Since then, Simon Taylor had devoted himself entirely to his career and, not having met a suitable woman, he had no thoughts of marrying again.
That changed when he met Rowena Gray at a banquet hosted by his nephew.
Although at the time, because of the Gray family’s public humiliation, his impression of Rowena Gray faded.
But later, by some fluke, they bumped into each other at a club, and they gradually started to engage with each other.
As they saw more of each other, they slowly became involved romantically.
Originally, he had only wanted to keep Rowena Gray as a lover, a kind and gentle mistress outside.
Who would have known that later on… he would actually…
Simon Taylor never imagined that at his age, he would still be capable of impregnating a woman.
But how could he not be happy with a son in his later years? Even knowing that Rowena Gray was not suitable as the mistress of a prominent family, he still married her.
Of course, he was no fool; they had DNA tested Paul immediately after he was born, and indeed, the child was his flesh and blood.
Besides, even without a DNA test, just by looking at the child’s brows and eyes so similar to his own, he could tell that it was his son.
No man does not love his young son.
So, because of Paul, he kept indulging Rowena Gray over and over again.
Only, he never expected that such indulgence would end up making her so audacious.
