The Prison-Made Queen novel Chapter 1070

"What?"

"Criminal charges?"

Gloria practically snatched the thin piece of paper from him, her eyes darting frantically over the printed text.

"Corporate espionage?"

"Illegal transfer of assets? How... how could he..."

Her face twisted in shock and sheer disbelief. Yes, she despised Fitch for being an absolute fool when it came to Tamara. She hated him for prioritizing that girl over his own flesh and blood. But she had *never* imagined that her husband—a man who had always been calculating and stubbornly conservative in business—would commit crimes severe enough to land him in prison!

This wasn't just some messy 'family dispute' over Tamara. This was federal!

Just then, the front door clicked open. Milford walked in from the garden. Seeing the cops in the living room and his mother clutching a legal document like her life depended on it, his face dropped. He crossed the room in three long strides.

"Mom, what's going on?"

Seeing her son, Gloria clung to his arm like a lifeline. Her fingers were ice-cold as she shoved the paper into his chest, her eyes wide with panic. "Milford... your father... they arrested your father! They're saying he broke the law!"

Milford scanned the detention notice. With every line he read, the crease between his brows deepened, his chest tightening with a brutal mix of emotions.

He had been overwhelmingly disappointed in his father because of Tamara.

Fitch had looked him in the eye and promised that once the dust settled, he would force Tamara to sign the divorce papers. But the moment the Sloan Group went bankrupt, Fitch went back on his word.

He refused to let Milford divorce her, insisting that Tamara and the baby stay in the family!

Lied to over and over again, Milford had been completely disgusted. Refusing to spend another second tied to a toxic woman like Tamara, he had packed his bags and left the estate without looking back.
