The Doormat Wife’s Ultimate Glow-Up novel Chapter 230

Reese stared at the grandmother and grandson, who were putting on their little show, and couldn’t help but feel the whole thing was painfully ironic.

Kids really do turn out just like the people who raise them, she thought. With Jane’s influence, Robbie was already a pro at putting his own interests above everything else.

All these last-minute apologies and promises were just because of the shares her grandfather left her. She wasn’t stupid.

“Do you two even hear yourselves?” Reese’s voice was cool and sharp. “Isn’t it ridiculous?”

She stared Jane straight in the eye, each word steady and clear. “I’m divorcing Sebastian. I’m leaving the Ratcliff family. Nothing you say will change my mind.”

She didn’t bother glancing at their miserable faces. She just turned and walked away.

The elevator doors slid open, then closed.

Sebastian came rushing down the hallway, catching sight of Reese’s icy expression and his stunned family behind her. He narrowed his eyes, reaching out to grab her wrist.

“Where are you going? Grandpa...”

Before he could finish, Reese yanked her arm free. Her eyes were cold, like she didn’t even know him.

“Where I go has nothing to do with you. Your grandfather’s gone. If you hurry, maybe you’ll get to see him one last time.”

Two text alerts chimed at the same time. Sebastian ignored his phone, just staring at Reese, anxiety twisting in his chest.

Grandpa was dead? What did that mean for him and Reese?

Reese glanced at her phone. After checking the messages a couple of times, a small, satisfied smile played on her lips.

It was a court notice. Their divorce hearing was set for three days from now.

She looked up at Sebastian, the smile lingering. “Check your phone. We’ll see each other in court in three days.”

Sebastian’s eyes went wide. The air around him seemed to freeze.
