The Verdict on My Husband the Judge: GUILTY novel Chapter 77

Chapter 8

At the dinner table, Griffin squirmed under my state, checking himself several times and finding nothing wrong before smiling tentatively.

“Babe, why do you keep looking at me today? Do you like how I’m dressed?”

I glanced at his phone screen lighting up repeatedly.

“You have a call. Aren’t you going to answer it?”

Griffin hung up without hesitation.

‘Spam call. Not worth bothering with.”

Seeing Griffin’s dishonest expression, I calmly set down my chopsticks.

The call might not be important, but that very important person–if you don’t rush to the airport to see her off, you’ll be too late.”

Caught red–handed by my bluntness, Griffin instinctively denied it.

‘She’s not important. You’re the most important.”

Then he smiled bitterly, looking at me.

‘Seraphina, I know you weren’t actually planning to send her to prison, right? Your choice that time was just a test. I’m sending her abroad to make her disappear from your sight completely. From now on, we’ll start fresh and live well together.”

Under Griffin’s nervous gaze, I smiled and nodded.

‘After all these years, only we understand each other best.”

Seeing me smile, Griffin relaxed.

‘Juniper is just stupid, not malicious. Everything she did was to help you get better faster.”

‘Babe, let her go. She’s just an ordinary girl. After all, you recovered because of her.”

Hearing Griffin’s words, I almost burst out laughing.

held it in, the suppression making my chest ache.

‘Fine.”

I nodded. “The last binary choice was a test. This time you better choose carefully. Choose right, and I’ll let her go.”

“Griffin–divorce me or give up all your Whitmore Industries shares.”

Hearing the options clearly, Griffin’s pupils contracted slightly.

“Babe, you know exactly what I’ll choose.”

He took a deep breath.

“Can you tell me what you need the shares for?”

“Just to better control Whitmore Industries and keep those other restless old fools in line.”

Griffin signed the share transfer agreement with a bitter smile.

“Babe, you didn’t need to force me like this. If you’d just asked me directly, I would have been willing.”

Griffin’s phone kept ringing.

I picked up his phone and answered. Juniper’s crying voice came through.

“I just want to see you one last time! If you don’t come, I’m not leaving!”

Hearing these incredibly stupid words, I smiled.
