Chapter 78
Now, just to save herself, she completely degraded him.”
Furious, Griffin lunged at Arabella.
“That’s not what you said when you came crawling back! You told me you’d never forgotten me, no matter who I was. You just wanted to be with me. Even though I was married, you couldn’t stop loving me! And now, you have the nerve to say this about me?“>
Arabella stepped aside, her face twisted in disgust, treating him like he was nothing more than trash.§
“You believed that nonsense? No wonder I never understood how the Chairman could’ve had such a fool for a son. Turns out, you’re not even his biological child. I left you back then because you meant nothing to me. You’re just a dog that forgets the pain once the wound heals. A few sweet words and you come crawling back.“{
“If it weren’t for the fact that I thought you were the heir to the Cavendish Family and the hundred–billion–dollar project, do you think I would’ve married you? You’re so easily fooled; what if another woman seduces you and you cheat again? Now you’re nothing. I wouldn’t even let you polish my shoes!”
Griffin clutched his chest in fury, his eyes filled with anger and desperation. When he saw a flicker of pity in my mother’s gaze, he grabbed it like a drowning man reaching for a lifeline.
“Mom, you still care about me, don’t you? Just now, when you heard Arabella was pregnant with my child, you looked worried and heartbroken. Now that I’m being humiliated like this, will you stand by and do nothing?“>
My mother let out a heavy sigh.
*Concem is an instinct, but when I think of everything you did to my real daughter, I know some things need to end, once and for all.“”
“For the sake of the years we spent together, take five million and leave. From now on, you have nothing to do with the family.“>
I had to admit that my parents were still incredibly generous.
Looking back, Griffin had been pampered his whole life, raised in a world of luxury and indulgence. My parents had let him do whatever he pleased as long as he was happy.
Even after all the chaos he caused, they were still offering him five million.
With his abilities, he probably couldn’t earn that much even if he worked his entire life.§
The crowd around us began to sing praises for the Cavendish Family’s generosity, calling them philanthropists. Even Arabella paused, her eyes flashing with surprise.”
She glanced at Griffin, her gaze sharp and calculating, clearly sizing up whether he was still of any use to her.
But unfortunately, Griffin was beyond saving.”
When the words “five million” reached his ears, his eyes widened in disbelief as though the very offer was a slap in the face.
“What? The Cavendish Family is a publicly listed company worth billions and you’re offering me five million? Is this some kind of charity for beggars? You have no humanity!“}
He trembled with fury. But then, as if a sudden idea struck him, he snatched up the divorce papers.
Flipping through the clauses, Griffin suddenly burst into triumphant laughter.
“Did you all forget? You already wrote me into the will! Everything’s supposed to be mine! I just divorced Celestine; the papers clearly say she leaves with nothing, which means. Cavendish Group is mine!“}
He pointed at the clause where it stated that I would leave with nothing, then whipped out his phone, showing the will he had secretly recorded earlier. It was crystal clear: everything under the Cavendish Group was meant to go to him.”
Griffin glanced between his phone and the divorce papers, his laughter echoing through the room like a man who had just struck gold. The sudden twist left everyone stunned. One by one, they crowded around to inspect the documents and it didn’t take long for their faces to shift.
As long as the Cavendish Group remained in my father’s and my hands, people would have flattered us, seeking cooperation for their own gain. But now, in the hands of a clueless Griffin, it was like a child holding a treasure chest; suddenly, everyone was plotting to claim it for themselves!
“Congratulations, Young Master Cavendish. You know, many company owners don’t manage their firms directly. They hire skilled professionals. I’m very capable. Would you like to hear more?”
