She Turned Her Grief Into Wings novel Chapter 158

Dewitt's gaze settled on his son's cold, sharp features. "Did they catch the person responsible?"

"Yeah."

"Good. The two of you never really had any feelings for each other anyway. You only went to those extremes to secure your grandfather's shares. Given the circumstances, it's for the best that you let her go."

Caden frowned, genuinely caught off guard by his father's response.

"You're okay with this?"

Wasn't he the one who constantly drilled the Hayes family rule into his head: *Death before divorce*?

Why the sudden change of heart?

He had always assumed his father would be the biggest obstacle to his divorce, but now...

Dewitt sighed, a deep melancholy washing over his eyes.

"I'm old. I can't control you anymore. Do whatever you want."

He paused for a long moment before speaking again. "If I had just given your mother what she wanted back then, maybe things wouldn't have ended up..."

His tone turned heavy and earnest. "Caden, if you can't give her love, give her freedom. Don't let her walk away remembering nothing but how much she hates you."

Dewitt stared at the family portrait resting on his nightstand, an indescribable sorrow in his eyes.

"Forcing someone to stay by your side only ends in tragedy."

He and Yvette... they had ruined each other's lives.

Seeing Caden remain silent, Dewitt changed the subject. "What's your plan for the company now?"

When he was at the office earlier that afternoon, he could see right through those old board members. They were planning something vile.

And Marcus was undeniably pulling the strings behind this little rebellion.

Caden spoke plainly. "Marcus and Zachary are working together now. They're scheming to steal the Grant Technologies project."

Dewitt nodded. "I figured as much."

"Hmph."

Hearing his son's quiet scoff, Dewitt looked at him. "Did you really think I just sit in here totally blind to the world? I know every move Marcus makes."
