THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 228

“Hannah’s actually a little better off, all things considered. After all, she has eight sons and thirteen grandchildren now. The one I really feel for is Keira. She only has two children—Amanda and Stuart. After Stuart’s accident with his wife and child, Keira’s been drowning in grief. And she still has to carry the weight of running Gonzales Holdings.

He stopped his wife, pausing in his tracks to scan the faces in the crowd—
