THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 1217

"Officer Grover! Please!" Elsa's mother's eyes were red. "Please, for the sake of a mother about to lose her daughter, take pity on us! Help us!"

Grover said calmly, "Elsa is still alive. She hasn't been sentenced. Technically speaking, you haven't lost your daughter yet."

Elsa's mother's voice was hoarse. "But what's the difference between her living now and being dead? Officer Grover, you're a police officer. You should know that in my daughter's situation, there's no other path for her but execution, right?"

"Officer Grover, you have a mother. You must understand the pain of a mother losing her child. Please, just help us. Arrange for us to see Miss Kensington! Ten minutes, that's all we need. Just ten minutes."

At the end of her plea, Elsa's mother grabbed Grover's sleeve, her face a mask of desperation.

"I'm sorry," Grover said, gently removing the woman's hand. "I'm just a junior officer. I really don't have that kind of influence."

With that, Grover turned and walked away.

As Grover's figure quickly disappeared from sight, Elsa's mother turned to her husband, her face etched with worry. "What do we do now?"

If they couldn't see Caitlin, they couldn't make her feel sorry for them. And if she didn't pity them, she wouldn't become their patron.

They were old; having a patron didn't matter as much to them. They had already enjoyed a life of wealth and privilege once.

But Elton's life was just beginning!

He had barely had a few good years with them before the family's fortune collapsed.

Elsa's father narrowed his eyes, a sharp glint appearing in them. "Since Grover can't arrange a meeting with Miss Kensington, then have her arrange a meeting with that ungrateful daughter of ours."

If Elsa had a way to get Caitlin to see her once, she could find a way to get her to see her a second time.

No matter what, they had to use Elsa's death to make Caitlin their family's benefactor.
