All Chapters of You Had This Divorce Coming: Chapter 431 - Chapter 440

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

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

Lincoln's expression shifted briefly, and he quickly stepped aside to take the call.A languid yet sinister voice came through from the other end. "Sir, we've got a lead on the person you asked me to look into."Lincoln's expression sharpened. "Tell me.""Back when Bradley Drake embezzled the funds and fled to Astoria with his sister-in-law and son, he and his sister-in-law quickly developed a gambling addiction and burned through every cent they'd taken. They handed over their only son to a local criminal organization to settle a debt, and his whereabouts have been unknown ever since. There's been no trace of him anywhere. However..."Lincoln's heart leapt into his throat. "However what?"The man let out a low, unsettling laugh. "I've got a little more information. Same as always. You know how it works."Lincoln's brow furrowed. "Don't worry. You'll get every cent. Name your price, and I'll have my secretary transfer it right now."The man immediately rattled off a number, and

Before the call, Lucille had been discussing work with Otto.After dodging her so many times, Gideon had finally agreed to meet her at the courthouse. Lucille let out a long breath."He finally answered. He wants to meet at the courthouse right now."Something shifted faintly in Otto's eyes. "Good. Congratulations."At his congratulations, a bittersweet ache filled Lucille's chest, mingling with the relief of finally seeing daylight after so long.Soon, everything from the past would finally be over. She was thoroughly sick of this life riddled with holes and scars. She couldn't wait to free herself from everyone and everything tied to the Prescott family and finally focus on her work, her own life, and raising Lily happily.The drawings for the Pillars of Eternity Awards submission were essentially finished. Otto had offered a few suggestions, and after some minor revisions, they would be ready to enter.Based on his experience and instincts, Otto was certain the design had an

This time, Gideon had clearly come prepared. This supplementary agreement was, without question, a change in tactics, one that left Lucille utterly baffled.Lucille had barely made it through the first few clauses before her heart began pounding with fury.She slammed the agreement down on the counter. "Gideon, tell me. What do you actually want? Just say what you really want. There's no need to put on this act of loving our daughter so much. It's disgusting."Every clause in the document was wrapped in careful legal language about their daughter's welfare, yet beneath it all, the words were utterly meaningless. The sheer hypocrisy filled Lucille with a rage she could barely put into words.This was a man who had openly called his own daughter a bastard child in front of everyone, without the slightest hint of shame.A man who, from the moment she was conceived to the day she was born, had never once thought to do anything for her.And now, when they were finally getting divorced
