Chapter 252

مؤلف: Deer Woods
But if Daphne was behind it, why?

No one in the Prescott family had welcomed Lily's birth. Not one of them had ever shown her any genuine affection. So why would Daphne secretly alter the custody clause to place Lily under Gideon's control?

That question could wait. They had caught the problem before any damage was done. That was what mattered.

Lucille forced herself to set her anger aside and refocus. She told Gideon she would take care of it, then walked to the printing desk.

  • You Had This Divorce Coming   Chapter 253

    Gideon's heart lurched. "Michelle, what's that sound? Why am I hearing a baby crying?"Michelle's voice came back unhurried and completely at ease. "That's your daughter I'm holding. You never went to get the paternity test, no matter how many times people told you to. So I decided to help you out. I borrowed her for a bit."I just pulled two strands of hair from her head. She started screaming immediately. Honestly, she's awfully demanding for someone so small."I've already sent the samples and your toothbrush to the lab. The results should be back soon."Gideon could not believe what he was hearing. Daphne had already made a mess of things today, and now Michelle had taken Lily without telling anyone."Michelle. Have you lost your mind?" His voice shook with fury. "You actually kidnapped her? What exactly do you think you're doing? She is my daughter. I'm warning you, if you hurt a single hair on her head, I will never forgive you."On the other end of the phone, Michelle soun

    But if Daphne was behind it, why?No one in the Prescott family had welcomed Lily's birth. Not one of them had ever shown her any genuine affection. So why would Daphne secretly alter the custody clause to place Lily under Gideon's control?That question could wait. They had caught the problem before any damage was done. That was what mattered.Lucille forced herself to set her anger aside and refocus. She told Gideon she would take care of it, then walked to the printing desk.The original electronic agreement was still on her phone. She printed three fresh copies on the spot.This time, she sent all three pages directly to Charles and waited for his confirmation before handing anything to Gideon to sign.From that moment on, Lucille became all business. She was composed, relentless, and absolutely certain.She moved Gideon from window to window as though he were luggage being checked instead of a person. He followed without protest, his dull, mechanical compliance telling her

    Gwen slapped the service window frantically, trying to stop the staff. "Don't stamp anything! The divorce agreement has been tampered with. Something is wrong!"Her words made both Lucille and Gideon freeze.The clerk handed the documents back.Gwen snatched up the divorce agreement and flipped straight to the custody section. Her expression darkened instantly.She turned and hurled the agreement against Gideon's chest. "Gideon! I knew something was off. I knew you'd never agree to this divorce without some kind of trick up your sleeve, and here it is!"She looked at Lucille, fury blazing in her eyes. "Lucy, we need a new agreement. He pulled a fast one. He buried word games in the custody clause and changed the entire meaning."If this had gone through, custody would have reverted to him, and you'd need his permission just to see your own daughter!"Thank God I had the sense to photograph it and send it to Charles. Another few seconds, and you would have lost her."The room se

    The humiliation of being replaced settled heavily over Gideon.He drew a slow breath, forced himself to straighten his back, and struggled to reclaim some of the authority he had always carried."Lucy, one last question. Is this divorce really what you want?"Lucille's expression remained unreadable."Yes." Her answer came without hesitation.The color drained further from Gideon's face. "Even knowing I've realized what I did wrong, even now that I've changed, you still won't reconsider?"Lucille's eyes remained cold. A faint trace of contempt touched the corner of her mouth. "You're asking for forgiveness now? Doesn't that strike you as absurd? Lily cannot be put back inside me and born again. The last chance we had disappeared the moment she came into the world."He had expected that answer. Even so, hearing it spoken aloud felt as though something had been ripped out of him."All right. Then I have one last request. After all this, can I see her at least once a week? If the

    Gideon had nothing left.He watched Lucille walk away, his eyes burning with resentment and longing. He could feel people watching him from nearby. He lifted his head, his gaze sharp and cold.The man in the leather jacket was still standing there.He met Gideon's stare with an easy smirk. "Relax. I've got nothing going on with Lucille. Though I wouldn't rule out something down the line, once she's single."I came today because I wanted to see the man who looked at Lucille every day and somehow never really saw her."He clapped Gideon on the shoulder. "What a waste, man. Trust me, you're going to spend the rest of your life regretting this."A woman like Lucille, someone with that much fire and fight? She's one in a million. You genuinely had no idea what you were holding."He delivered every word with a shake of his head, each one carrying the weight of genuine pity. Then he ducked into the Ferrari, and the car disappeared with a roar.Gideon stood in the lingering exhaust and

    Were the two of them already moving that fast?Gideon stepped forward, ready to close the distance.A Ferrari roared past him. It braked hard and stopped directly in front of Lucille, its tires screeching against the asphalt.The window rolled down, and the man inside called Lucille's name loud enough for Gideon to hear.Lucille bent down and leaned through the open window, chatting with whoever was inside. Bursts of laughter drifted from the car.She was there to file for divorce. How could she look so happy? And who was this man driving a Ferrari?The car was brand new, this year's model, barely on the market. Anyone who had already managed to get one either had money, connections, or both.Otto would never drive something like that. Men who chose cars like those were usually more like Walter: young, flashy, and experts at enjoying life.Had some wealthy Coasthaven heir already set his sights on Lucille? Had he really shown up at her divorce in a Ferrari just to impress her?

    Lucille pressed a hand to her aching lower back. Her whole body trembled, but she smiled coldly.She took two steps forward, then collapsed. Darkness rushed up and swallowed everything.…Gideon took Rayne back to her room.Not long after, his mother, Elaine Greenfeld, arrived with a thermos of

    Rayne's expression froze."What?" she shrieked. "Lucille, you're disgusting. Delete it. Delete it right now!"The weak, delicate act vanished at once.She lunged forward and grabbed for the phone in Lucille's hand. Her soft, pretty face twisted into something vicious and arrogant. "You can't beat

    The moment Gideon opened his mouth, Lucille felt her heart drop straight into hell. "Gwen, stop trying to stir things up. Lucy is baby Connor's aunt. We're all family. If she can help, she should. There's extra milk anyway."'Baby Connor. He said the name with such easy intimacy, as if the boy were

    After the examination, Lucille remained asleep.The doctor stood in the hospital room and explained her condition to Gwen. "The patient's body is severely depleted after childbirth. She has already suffered a major hemorrhage and undergone emergency treatment, so she is highly prone to hypoglycemia
