Divorce Failed! My Wife's Secret Identities Shock the World novel Chapter 959

"This has to be the sickest joke I've heard all year."

Now that she knew the entire story, Maeve felt like she was trapped in a suffocating loop.

"Old man, did you know Charlie was going to die before he went?"

Griffin's heavy silence was all the confirmation she needed.

Thinking about how brutally Charlie was butchered while his killer walked free, Maeve's rage spiked to a fever pitch.

"So because of all this karmic bullshit, we just let Nancy do whatever she wants?"

If there was any justice in the world, where the hell was it?

Why did a monster with blood dripping from her hands get a free pass?

Griffin knew the fury burning inside her.

"Nancy has committed too many sins. The universe has already sealed her fate. Let her act like a lunatic until her borrowed time runs out."

"Don't throw your life away before you turn twenty-two for someone who isn't worth the dirt on your shoes."

Maeve muttered bitterly.

"I still have two years until I'm twenty-two."

Her sharp tongue earned her another smack on the back of the head from Griffin.

It didn't hurt, but the warning was clear.

"Do you have any idea what your husband went through to buy you this second chance?"

Griffin hadn't wanted to tell her the most agonizing parts.

But clearly, his stubborn daughter had no idea how much blood had been spilled for the life she was living.

"You slaughtered too many people. The universe condemned you. You were never supposed to be reborn."

"The Serpent Spirit destroyed its own cultivation to carve out the Serpent's Core for you. But the core had to be nourished by the blood of the man who loved you most for eighty-one days straight."

"During that process, he was constantly hovering on the brink of death from severe blood loss."

"Bleeding out every single day for eighty-one days—how many men on this earth would willingly do that?"

Griffin locked eyes with Andres before turning back to Maeve.

"Old man, where do you go when you disappear for months at a time? And what's your connection to the Grovers?"

Every year, without fail, Griffin would vanish off the face of the earth.

Whenever she asked, he dodged the question.

Before, it might have been to protect secrets.

But today, she wanted the complete truth, including why he gave Nancy those pills.

Griffin didn't hold back this time.

"I have no ties to the Grovers. I had someone else deliver the pills. Nancy just has to breathe until those babies are born. As for where I go..."

He hesitated for a second before finally admitting it.

"I enter The Slumber."

The term threw them both off.

"What do you mean, 'The Slumber'?" Maeve demanded.
