Grandma Edith noticed the stern look on Amelia’s face and realized the matter was serious. She sent Nora out of the room, then took Amelia’s hand and sat her down, her tone turning firm. “Don’t talk about ‘asking’ for help. Your problem is the Campbell family’s problem. We’ll always have your back. Always.”
Amelia spoke plainly. “Grandma, I want to cut off all of Daniel’s support for Violet. Everything he’s ever given her—whatever Violet’s taken from the Campbell family—I want it all back.”
Grandma Edith was stunned for a split second, then her eyes lit up with delight. “You’ve finally come to your senses! Yes, we’ll cut her off—completely. As long as you and Daniel work things out, I promise we’ll make a clean break.”
Amelia pressed her lips together. “Grandma, I’m still getting divorced. I want the money back, too.”
She risked a glance at her grandmother, feeling a pang of guilt.
If she were planning to stay with Daniel, it would all make sense—the wife putting the mistress in her place, righteous and proper. But she wasn’t planning to stay. She was on her way out, and before she left, she was about to turn the whole house upside down. No matter how she spun it, it felt almost shameless.
But she couldn’t help it.
Taking on Daniel—and Morgan—by herself was nearly impossible. But she refused to just swallow her anger and walk away.
So she swallowed her pride and came to the Campbell family for help.
Whether it would work or not, she had to try.
Amelia’s heart was pounding in her chest, anxiety churning in her gut. When Grandma Edith didn’t immediately respond, two words echoed in her mind: No chance.
But after a brief moment of silence, Grandma Edith simply picked up her phone and dialed.
“Ethan,” she said, addressing Mr. Ethan Campbell, “get the very best attorney from the firm over here. Right now. What for?”

How come in every novel I read on here the women don’t tell the men they are the father of their child? I find this ridiculous....
