The Verdict on My Husband the Judge: GUILTY novel Chapter 78

We’d just landed in the UK when Juniper got word and rushed over.

“Mr. Caldwell, I knew you wouldn’t be so heartless! You came to see me, didn’t you?”

Griffin instinctively checked my expression.

“What are you doing here? You’re not welcome. Go where you’re supposed to go.”

Juniper looked ready to cry.

“I just wanted to see you. Surely Mrs. Caldwell isn’t so petty?”

Griffin’s face darkened. Before he could speak, I was already smiling.

“Of course not. My surname is Whitmore–just use my last name. We were just going to see the island where we honeymooned. Since Miss Wilde is here, why don’t you come see the island with us?”

The helicopter circled the lush green island.

“I originally bought this island to hold our wedding.”

Remembering something, Griffin looked at me with eyes full of tenderness.

This tender gaze made Juniper’s jealous expression twist with hatred.

“But shortly after the wedding, there was an accident on the island. No matter what we tried, the island’s value kept dropping until it became completely deserted.”

“In any case, this has been the biggest failed investment of my entire life.”

Even Griffin’s face went pale: “Babe, it’s dangerous! Put us down! What are you going to do?

“I just want you two to play a game with me.”

“What game?”

Juniper asked in a trembling voice.

Thanks to them, I’d conquered my fear of heights. Now I could smile at them and speak calmly.

Your favorite binary choice game, of course.”

Whichever one of you I choose, I’ll pull up. Sound good?”

uniper’s voice was shrill.

What about the other one?”

smiled and answered. “The other one gets this island as a gift from me–they can play survival alone. How’s that?”

As soon as I finished speaking, Juniper fell silent.

Juniper, between you and Griffin, who do you choose?”

After a brief silence, Juniper’s voice changed pitch.

I choose myself–pull me up!”

After choosing, she looked at Griffin through her tears.

Mr. Caldwell, I’m sorry! I was too scared! I know you’re her husband–she won’t do anything to you!”

Between you and Juniper, tell me–who should I pull up?”

iriffin didn’t choose, but sighed softly instead.
