THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 282

Iliana paused for a moment, then continued, “But if you really want Bonnie to take your last name, you’ll have to agree to three conditions.”

Ernest nodded in agreement. “That’s right, Dad! If you still want Bonnie to carry on the Kensington name, then you have to promise us three things. We’re giving you an easy way out here—otherwise, if you ever want Bonnie to change her name in the future, it won’t be so simple!”

His last words were laced with a clear threat.

After all, Bonnie was Fortune’s only granddaughter.

It didn’t take a genius to realize how excited Fortune must be at the prospect of Bonnie finally taking his name.

Bonnie had stopped crying now.

She watched Fortune without blinking, waiting for his response.

Because she knew.

There was no way Fortune would refuse her parents’ three conditions.

Any minute now, she’d be moving to the capital with Caitlin.

Bonnie could barely contain her excitement.

Fortune looked at the three of them—his own flesh and blood—with steely eyes, and spoke: “The papers severing our ties have already been signed. As of now, I have no relationship with the three of you. What name Bonnie takes, whose child she is, it’s none of my concern. And if you three keep pestering me and Caitlin, don’t forget how easy it is to go public these days. I won’t hesitate to post your names and faces online and tell the world just how selfish and ungrateful you really are.”

He turned his gaze to Iliana and Bonnie. “Do you remember what you said to me last time we ran into each other at the Parkview Residences?”

The Richards and Gonzales families weren’t ordinary people. If these three dared to twist the truth or spread lies online, he’d release the video in a heartbeat.

Ernest and his family broke into a cold sweat.

None of them had expected Fortune to go this far—to actually retrieve the surveillance footage!

A tiger, it’s said, would never eat its own cubs.

But he was willing to go to these lengths? To guard so fiercely against his own son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter?

Bonnie’s knees buckled and she collapsed to the floor, sobbing. “Grandpa, I really am sorry! I know I was wrong! Please, just forgive me this once! I promise I’ll be a good granddaughter from now on!”
