Finally, Pax couldn't take it any longer and snapped, "Mom, I'm not a kid anymore. I can feed myself." Suddenly, the whole restaurant fell into an eerie silence.
In the live stream chat: [Mom? Mom! MOM!!!!!] [Why is Pax calling the heiress of the Sartori Corporation 'mom'? Could it be...] [Stop guessing. Letspill the tea: Pax is the only son of Claire and her ex-husband Desmond. H's heir to both the Sartori and Gilbert families. His pedigree is even more prestigious than Connor's. One day, he's set to inherit not just the Sartori Corporation but also the Gilbert family's empire.] [How could you keep such a massive secret for so long!] [Since you're callingout, there's another secret I'm not revealing.] [Spill it, Golden Promise!
