**Chapter 127**

**Harper**

As I placed my hand gently on his shoulder, my mouth fell open in disbelief. “Really?”

A wide grin broke across his face, and he shook his head in amusement. “It seems I’m not the only one reveling in this news.”

Realizing I had let my excitement slip too easily, I quickly withdrew my hand and cleared my throat, attempting to regain my composure. “What I meant to say was, wow, really?”

He let out a soft scoff, clearly amused by my awkwardness. “Oh, trust me, a divorce is definitely on the horizon, and she hasn’t even caught a whiff of it yet.”

Rubbing my hands together, I leaned in, my curiosity piqued. “That means she won’t see it coming at all.”

“Exactly. She’s been cheating on my dad for years now, and for the longest time, he had no idea. He only discovered the truth a few months back. She’s been plotting to marry this guy while planning to walk away with a hefty portion of what my dad owns. What she doesn’t realize is that my dad has been several steps ahead of her. He’s been transferring everything that’s in his name over to mine. As we speak, my dad owns nothing on paper. The first time he confided this to me was also the first day we really hung out while playing golf. You were there when he called to set that up.”

“What? I was?” I tilted my head, trying to recall that day.

“Yup. You weren’t feeling too well, so I brought you those snacks.”

“Ah… now it makes sense. That phone call was the reason I noticed the difference in how you spoke to your uncle compared to your dad.”

He nodded, a knowing smile on his face. “That was the beginning of a new chapter for my family, and look where we are now. The stage is set, and he’s ready to play his hand.”

I erupted into laughter, covering my mouth to stifle the sound. The thought was simply too delicious to contain. “I can’t even begin to imagine the look on her face when she discovers that everything has been transferred to you. But wait…” My brow furrowed as a thought struck me. “Wouldn’t she have caught wind of these transfers along the way? Surely, word must have leaked out somehow.”

“My dad and I have been exceptionally discreet. She doesn’t have a clue. There was always a chance she might mention divorce at any moment, but since we weren’t ready for that, he cleverly used her greed to buy himself more time. To keep her occupied, he kept concocting these grand new billion-dollar projects that would supposedly bring in massive profits for our family. That kept her hanging on a little longer, and now, it turns out she’s been waiting for absolutely nothing. All she’s done is give him the chance to finalize the transfers.”

“OMG! I wish I could be there the moment she finally decides she wants a divorce.” I sighed wistfully. “Oh well, I guess I’ll just have to wait for you to fill me in on all the juicy details.”

“You know what’s even more interesting? My sister is just like her mother; she’s following in her footsteps perfectly. When was the last time you saw Josh at the store?”

Now that I thought about it, it had been over three weeks. “I can’t remember. Why?”

“That’s because he resigned. He’s landed a well-paying gig at a small startup. It’s owned by Tiffany, and she’s kept it under wraps.”

My jaw dropped again in shock. “Are those two still—”

“Yup. Grayson has no idea because it’s now convenient for them to meet whenever they like.”

I leaned back in my seat, a mix of frustration and pity swirling inside me. I couldn’t shake the feeling of annoyance that Grayson had been so oblivious to the truth when I had tried to show him what was really happening.

Tiffany was still sneaking around with Josh, and the evidence was clearer than ever, but I refused to intervene. He would have to discover the betrayal on his own. I couldn’t wait for him to finally see for himself that the girl he had chosen was, in fact, cheating on him.

“Are you considering telling him?” Maddox inquired, a hint of concern in his voice.

I chuckled dismissively, shaking my head. “I’m actually thinking about not telling him at all. It’s none of my business. Anyway, Zoey and I are having a sleepover at Ella’s place tonight. It’s going to be such a blast!”

I did my best to push Grayson out of my mind. I had no desire to revisit the past, not after everything he had put me through.

As I gazed out the window, the limousine pulled up to my driveway, signaling my return home after an incredible night in Paris. Maddox had truly been the highlight of the entire experience.

As expected, the chauffeur didn’t step out to open the door for me.

Maddox, however, wasted no time. He exited quickly and strode over to my side, his confidence radiating with every step. It was hard to believe this was the same guy who had appeared slightly terrified just yesterday when he had asked for a chance at something real.

When he opened the door for me, he extended one hand while steadying the door with the other. The sight of him standing there made my heart flutter, and despite knowing it was coming, a smile spread across my lips.
