After finishing his words, Grant walked away without looking back
Lucas’ expression darkened, and a shadow loomed over his brows as he pressed the bell on the desk.
Moments later, the secretary entered respectfully. “Mr. Fowler.”
“My dear nephew has been acting less than obedient lately,” Lucas said, his tone calm but laced with menace. “It seems he needs a little wake-up call.”
Lowering his gaze, Lucas reached for his cigar.
The secretary, sharp and compliant, stepped forward and extended his palm.
Without a flicker of hesitation, Lucas extinguished the cigar in the man’s hand. The secretary did not even flinch.
“Once you’ve wrapped up your current tasks, take a trip to Savrow and meet with someone on my behalf.”
…
On the way to the airport after leaving the King’s Club, Grant remained quiet, making the car eerily silent, which made Clarice’s heart pound with unease.
Normally, Grant always carried a faint smile on his lips.
When he was not smiling, it meant trouble.
“You must be curious,” Grant suddenly spoke. His half-lidded eyes revealed a glimmer of cold calculation. His pale lips parted slowly. “You’re curious why Lucas is no longer in prison and is instead swaggering around Sentania. And if he’s here, then who’s the one serving his sentence in Savrow’s prison?”
Clarice broke out in a cold sweat but hurriedly replied in a hushed voice. “Even if I’m curious, I wouldn’t dare ask unless you wish to tell me...”
“I arranged for a scapegoat to take his place. That’s how Lucas enjoys his freedom today.”
Grant’s smile was enigmatic, his tone teasing. “I’m telling you this because there’s something you need to do next.”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson)
I am reading this book from last year. Its very long story but at start i find enjoyable.Still there is no closure , dragging the story and the writer is running out of ideas. Its frustrating that they don't upload chapters regularly....
If you are about to start reading this “ongoing” book….don’t. It’s a great read but mo regular updates and leaves you hanging. Took me months to get to chapter 2370 (this app only has it to chapter 2368….learned to search different links to read ahead a bit). These ongoing books are just not worth the time since their author (s) take days/weeks to upload new chapters. Again great sultry, long drawn out at times, but not worth the frustration of no new updates....
No update in 6 days!!! Really??? I’m about over this story and ready to move on, the wait is to long....
Pls update regularly or least let us know why it's taking so long...
Ok I was thinking last night. I really hope the author hasn’t been affected by hurricane Helene. Not sure where they are located but I hope everyone is safe...
It’s been 87 years since the update with only 2 chapters. 🙄...
