Leaving The Country After Divorce

Stunned by the response, Grant attempted to move his chapped lips, but all he could manage was a wry smile.

“Since you already know about it, I might as well come clean. It's true that I succumbed to my greed and took Mr. Crawford's bribe. His objective was to place me by your side to gather information,” Grant related the truth candidly.

“With that aim in mind, I divorced Winnie. Initially, the divorce wasn't meant to be genuine. Once I received enough money from Mr. Crawford, she would return to my side. Unfortunately, I was a fool...” Grant mumbled away.

Meanwhile, Lucian's brows knitted, for the last thing he wanted was to become Grant's agony uncle. He wasn't at all interested in what was on Grant's mind.

After all, it was Grant's decision to abandon Roxanne's mother and get together with Winnie. On top of that, he even brought two children into the family, causing Roxanne trauma that she would never heal from.

“Mr. Jarvis, there's no need to bring up the past anymore. Roxanne is well aware of your motives, so you had better not disturb our lives again. As for the children, I'll tell them that their granddad has gone overseas to set up a business.”

With that, Lucian turned to leave but was unexpectedly held back by Grant.
