Divorce Failed! My Wife's Secret Identities Shock the World novel Chapter 978

The thought of the multi-billion-dollar project slipping through their fingers filled Faye with blinding rage.

She had stormed back to her maiden family's home multiple times to throw a fit, but there was nothing they could do.

The scandal of Nancy trying to frame Maeve had smeared a massive, ugly stain on The Grover Family's reputation.

The Caldwell Family had deliberately magnified that stain, using it as the perfect excuse to hand the lucrative contract to someone else.

On the fifth day of the New Year, which was meant to be a day of family unity, a massive argument erupted at the dinner table.

Simon, who rarely came home, lost his patience watching the screaming match. Without even touching his food, he made a quick excuse and walked out.

As he passed Nancy, he shot her a cold, mocking smirk.

Being the youngest, Luke had never experienced an ounce of coddling.

Both of his parents were brutally strict.

His two older brothers were cold and calculating; brotherly love simply didn't exist in his world.

His sister, who was closest to him in age, was the family's incredibly fragile glass doll. She was either sick or recovering from being sick.

He couldn't afford to provoke or offend her.

Seeing his second brother slip away, Luke quickly followed suit, shoving a few bites of food into his mouth before making a hasty escape.

In truth, Nancy had it the worst.

Losing such a colossal deal meant she was bearing the full brunt of her parents' and brothers' fury.

She used to be the beloved princess the entire family spoiled rotten. Now, she had earned nothing but their absolute disgust.

Thatcher glared at her with pure venom. "At the end of the day, it's all your fault. You are entirely useless. Ruining everything over some man. The Grover Family raised you, and we ended up raising an ungrateful parasite."

Faye tugged at her husband's sleeve. "Nancy didn't want things to end up like this."

Nancy's face turned deathly pale as the insults hit her.

"I don't feel well. I'm going to my room."

As the eldest son and daughter-in-law, Barton and Claudia didn't have the luxury of storming off like the younger siblings. They had to sit at the table and try to mediate the chaos.

While Faye and Claudia were talking, Barton finally picked up his phone.

The name Eva was flashing frantically across the screen.

When no one was looking, he quickly hit the reject button.

Less than a second later, the phone rang again. Barton instantly killed the call.

After being rejected twice, the caller grew desperate and fired off a text message.

Barton assumed Claudia, who was busy talking, hadn't noticed a thing. In reality, she saw every single word.

The message on the screen read: Honey, your son is crying because he misses you so much.

For a fleeting second, Claudia genuinely questioned her own eyesight.

Did she read that right?

A woman calling her husband 'honey' and claiming 'his' son was missing him?
