THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 946

Caitlin kicked the door open from the outside.

Sunlight flooded in, dispelling the darkness of the room.

The moment he saw Caitlin, the despair in Fortune's eyes vanished, replaced by a brilliant light. Tears of emotion welled up.

"Catie, Catie…"

He knew it. He knew his granddaughter would come to save him!

Sophie looked up, a smirk playing on her lips.

Good. She was just wondering how she would find Caitlin. And now the bitch had delivered herself right to her doorstep.

From this day on, Silverhaven would have one more AIDS patient.

Once she contracted HIV, Caitlin would be forced to live in the shadows for the rest of her life, a social outcast.

Wilfred also looked up. He was taken aback when he saw Caitlin's face.

The file had only mentioned she was attractive.

Nothing could have prepared him for how utterly stunning she was in person.

Sophie was considered a top-tier beauty, but in front of Caitlin, she paled in comparison.

Wilfred's eyes narrowed, a lecherous gleam appearing within them. It seemed today was his lucky day. At the thought, he rubbed his hands together.

In the split second that Sophie and Wilfred were distracted, Caitlin lunged forward and kicked Sophie.

Clatter—

The syringe flew from Sophie's hand and landed on the floor.

In a flash, Caitlin snatched the syringe, grabbed a fistful of Sophie's hair, and pressed the needle against her neck. "What is this? Tell me! What is this!"

Her voice was ice-cold.

It was a close call. Just one more second, and that needle would have been in her grandfather's arm.

Caitlin's presence was daunting enough for Sophie, who was only 5'5". The fact that Caitlin was a trained fighter made it worse.

With Caitlin yanking her hair, Sophie couldn't move an inch. A thick wave of fear washed over her.

Cold sweat beaded on her forehead. She struggled to turn her head toward Wilfred and snarled, "You idiot! What are you just standing there for!"

That snapped Wilfred out of it. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to make a move when—

WHAM!

Another tall figure strode in and landed a solid punch on Wilfred's face.

Wilfred spat out a mouthful of blood as he was sent crashing to the ground. The impact felt like it had shattered his joints. The pain was so intense he could barely breathe.

Where did this punk come from, daring to lay a hand on him? Did he have a death wish?

With The Lowell Group's influence in Silverhaven, making a young upstart disappear would be easy.

Hearing Wilfred's terrified whisper, Sophie's eyes also widened in disbelief.

What? Master Ninth! This man was Master Ninth? Caitlin's boyfriend was Master Ninth?

It was laughable. Utterly laughable!

That divorced, second-hand woman had managed to land a man like Master Ninth. And what did that make her? A highly educated woman who had studied abroad, only to end up with an old man twenty-five years her senior!

It wasn't fair! Not fair at all!

Seeing Sophie remain silent, Caitlin tightened her grip and repeated, "Speak! What's in this?"

Gordon had already reached Fortune and was untying the ropes.

"Mr. Kensington, are you alright?"

"I'm… I'm fine." Fortune shook his head slightly, leaning on Gordon's arm. He tried to say more, but overcome by exhaustion, his vision went black, and he fainted.

"Mr. Kensington!" Gordon's expression changed.

Caitlin couldn't spare another thought for Sophie. She immediately let go and rushed to Fortune's side.

"Grandpa!" She grabbed his wrist, her fingers pressing against his pulse point.

Spotting the discarded syringe on the floor, Sophie's eyes narrowed.

She had consulted a doctor. HIV exposure had different levels of risk. For a secondary exposure, preventive medication had a ninety percent success rate.
