Chapter 413

Author: Deer Woods
Lucille's whole body jolted. "1,000,000 dollars?"

That didn't add up. Otto alone had given Rayne 50,000,000 dollars just for the divorce. The total loss had to be far more than that.

Lucille's mouth fell open in shock. "Don't tell me... 100,000,000 dollars?"

Milena nodded. "That's right. Five years of marriage, and in the end, we lost everything for nothing. Our family paid out 100,000,000 dollars in hard cash."

Something seemed to crack inside Lucille. Her heart felt as though it had shatte

  • You Had This Divorce Coming   Chapter 434

    'A man who wrongs his wife will find no fortune. A man who cherishes his wife will rise with every wind.'Gideon had once scoffed at those two lines, convinced that a woman played next to no role in a man's success.But now, faced with the bleak ruin before him, he understood their truth all too well.Unfortunately, that realization had come far too late."I..." Utterly defeated, Gideon was just about to offer to step down as CEO himself.Just then, the boardroom door burst open, and his secretary rushed in, barely able to contain his excitement."Mr. Gideon! The CEO of the Vilmer Group is here with his daughter, and they're waiting outside! They have a cultural tourism project worth 2 billion dollars that they want to discuss with the Prescott Group, and they've specifically asked to meet with you, Mr. Gideon!"Everyone jolted in surprise and turned toward the glass wall.A small group stood in the reception area.At the front was a man in his early 50s with an extraordinary

    Gregory personally took charge of the case.Elaine, Wendy, Michelle, Rayne, and Gideon himself were all taken in to assist with the investigation.Gideon was eventually released on bail, but news that nearly the entire Prescott family had been swept up in the investigation shot straight to the top of the trending list that very day and made the front page of every major outlet.This time, the Prescott family found itself squarely and unenviably in the spotlight, reduced to a laughingstock throughout Coasthaven and even across the national business world.Meanwhile, the relevant authorities launched a thorough investigation into the hidden corruption and discrepancies in the charity's ledgers. At the same time, rumors spread like wildfire that the Prescott Group was involved in money laundering and embezzlement.The Prescott Group's stock price crashed overnight. Its market value evaporated at an alarming rate, and the entire company descended into chaos.…Inside the Prescott Gr

    Gideon's lips trembled as he looked at Otto, his voice hoarse beyond recognition. "You... You already knew?"Otto let out a cold laugh and carelessly tossed the documents to the floor, his eyes filled with contempt. "Gideon, whether I knew doesn't matter. What matters is that you chose to believe a lie over the truth."You chose to protect a liar instead of your own wife and daughter. Everything happening right now, you brought entirely on yourself!"Gideon stood frozen and stared at Otto for a long moment, unable to find a single word to say.The crowd's fury surged. Murmurs rippled through the room, and the sharp, cutting remarks made Gideon's face alternate between green and white.Elaine had actually come around from her medication some time ago, but she continued to lie there and feign unconsciousness to escape a situation she couldn't bear to face.Rayne, Michelle, and Wendy sensed that the situation had turned against them and tried to slip away quietly amid the chaos. But

    The man was Otto. He wore a sharply tailored dark gray suit. His usually clear, easygoing features had turned dark and stormy, making him seem like an entirely different man from the gentle, refined figure everyone knew.Half a step behind him stood Gregory Suffolk, a man of considerable influence in Coasthaven's political and business circles.Gregory's face was dark, and his sharp gaze remained fixed on Rayne, Gideon, and the others.Otto ignored the gasps rippling through the room and held up the two paternity reports for everyone to see. "The first report is the paternity test between me and my ex-wife Rayne's son. The results rule out any biological relationship."Otto flipped open the second report, and his voice rose sharply. "The second report is the paternity test between Lucille's daughter and Gideon. The results confirm that Gideon is, in fact, her biological father."I specifically invited Mr. Suffolk here today to confirm that both reports are completely authentic and

    Gideon glanced at Michelle beside him, insufferably pleased with herself, and for the first time felt a deep sense of disgust toward his third sister.How could she be even more foolish than Rayne, even more hopelessly stupid? She had agreed to everything far too quickly. What a useless ally.What had begun as a negotiation had now devolved into a four-way brawl among the Prescotts, the Sullivans, Lucille and her mother, and the Westbrooks.And Lucille's condition was brutal. She had staked the Prescotts' carefully cultivated reputation for charity, built over years, on a single roll of the dice.Now that the arrow was already nocked, there seemed to be no choice but to let it fly.Gideon closed his eyes as his heart pounded frantically. He opened his mouth, desperate to stall for time.Just then, Rayne, already on the verge of collapse, let out a sharp, anguished scream. As if she had lost her mind, she threw herself into Gideon's arms in front of everyone, wrapped her arms arou

    The air went instantly still, and every head turned toward the source of the voice. It was Michelle.Michelle gathered up her skirt and strode forward with complete confidence.She took her place beside Gideon and announced loudly, "Rayne and I went and had that paternity test done ourselves! The result is 100% genuine! Lucille, since you're so confident, let's put it to the test!"Her eyes turned venomous as she fixed Lucille with an unblinking stare. "But I have an extra condition! Besides your daughter and my brother taking the test, once the results are in, I want you to admit, right in front of everyone, that you're a shameless tramp! Do you dare take that bet?"Michelle had absolute faith in the falsified report. She was certain victory was already hers and had even begun picturing Lucille on her knees, begging for mercy.But the moment Michelle said that, Rayne, who stood beside her, nearly lost her mind with fear. Her entire body trembled violently, as though she were on t

    Inside the banquet hall, Lucille kept her eyes fixed on Gideon.He looked flushed and in high spirits as he moved from table to table with Rayne, raising his glass and offering toasts. "My buddy Otto is overseas right now on a confidential infrastructure project. He won't be back for a year, so I'l

    Holding her swaddled daughter, Lucille Sandwell kept her voice steady, though a hint of hope slipped through. "Gideon, today is our daughter's one-month milestone. Can you come pick us up?"On the other end, Gideon Prescott's voice remained even and unreadable. "Something came up. I'll have the driv

    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
