THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 1216

Elsa's mother was genuinely furious with her daughter.

She had assumed that between the Forrester family inheritance and Caitlin's support, they would be able to secure at least one.

But she never expected this…

They would get neither the Forrester family's fortune nor Caitlin's assistance.

Elsa was going to die. If she had just used this opportunity to entrust them to Caitlin, asking her to care for them as if they were her own parents in honor of their eight-year friendship, Caitlin surely would have agreed.

But who knew!

Who knew Elsa could be so selfish, so utterly thoughtless of her own parents, wasting such a golden opportunity on asking Caitlin to claim her body!

Once you're gone, that's it. What good did it do to have someone claim your body?

Elsa's father was just as enraged. "What an ungrateful daughter, a truly ungrateful daughter! How could she be so selfish? I have failed completely in raising her!"

If Elsa had an ounce of respect for them, she wouldn't have done something like this.

Other people's children spent their lives thinking about how to repay their parents for raising them.

But Elsa? She had only ever thought of herself!

Did Elsa ever stop to think about how she grew up?

Did she think she was raised on air?

Without them, her parents, Elsa would have been dead long ago.

Grover watched Elsa's parents' performance, her expression a mixture of complex emotions.

Their daughter had killed someone.

They showed no interest in the case.

They cared even less about why their daughter had committed murder.

Instead, all they did was blame her for being selfish and scheme to use her to pave their own way.

And what's more…

Judging by their attitude…

It seemed they genuinely had no intention of taking Elsa's body home.

At first, when Grover heard Elsa's request, she had thought Elsa was just being paranoid.

After all, what parent in the world doesn't love their child?

Besides, Caitlin had extensive connections.

Elsa's mother had it all planned out. As soon as Caitlin agreed to look after them after Elsa's death, she would immediately make her son break up with his current girlfriend. Then, she would ask Caitlin to introduce him to someone new.

The people in Caitlin's circle were all from wealthy and powerful families. If Caitlin just introduced her son to an only daughter, he wouldn't even have to lift a finger—he could just sit back and wait to inherit the family fortune.

Therefore, they had to see Caitlin.

"You want me to arrange a meeting with Miss Kensington for you?" Grover pointed at himself, his face a mask of disbelief.

"Yes," Elsa's mother nodded.

Caitlin was a very soft-hearted person.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have stepped in to help when Elsa's family fell on hard times seven years ago.

Now they were about to lose their daughter, Elsa. Her mother was convinced that if they just played the victim in front of Caitlin, she would pity them and grant their request.

Grover gave a wry, weary smile. "I'm flattered you think so highly of me, but I'm sorry. I really don't have that kind of power."

Grover was just a junior police officer.

Where would he get the authority to arrange a meeting between Elsa's parents and Caitlin Kensington?
