About
In a world where love and loyalty twist into betrayal, Bertrand Chanton finds himself dangling on the edge—not just physically, but emotionally. His mother, Agatha, has traded their bond for the fleeting charms of her younger boyfriend, William Kennedy. As the laughter of the crowd echoes around him, Bertrand grapples with an unbearable truth: his mother’s affection now belongs to a man he despises, and even those he once trusted turn against him.
With the stakes rising and his inheritance slipping from his grasp, Bertrand must navigate a treacherous landscape of manipulation and deceit. Why does Celine, his fiancée and childhood friend, stand by his mother’s side? Can the love they shared survive the shadows of betrayal? As he fights to reclaim his dignity, he realizes that the battle isn’t just for his project, but for his very identity.
Caught between the relentless ambitions of the adults in his life, Bertrand is forced to confront a chilling question: how far will he go to reclaim his place in a family that seems to have already forgotten him? As tensions mount and secrets unravel, will Bertrand find a way to turn the tide, or will he be lost to the very people who should have stood by him?
My Mother Prefers Her Boyfriend Over Her Own ChildChapter 1
The conglomerate family’s new grand building was called the Kennedy Building. My mom’s young lover was named William Kennedy.
I confronted my mom, Agatha, demanding she change the name. She just smiled and said, “Come to the rooftop banquet tonight. I’ll make sure you’ll be satisfied.”
That night, my mom had me hung upside down on the rooftop. She looked down on me from above, like an empress dowager ruling from behind a curtain.
Everyone was fawning over William, as if everything would be his if I died. Even my fiancée didn’t defend me. She instead made me apologize to William.
When no one was paying attention, William quietly showed me a note. [Your mother is pregnant. If you die, my child will inherit everything, which means I will inherit everything!]

At the edge of the rooftop, everyone laughed at me, as if I had truly done something wrong. This building was built for my new project and was very important to the Chanton Group. Moreover, the building’s name was decided long ago due to the project’s unique nature.
