THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 230

Kelley picked up the phone.

“Hello?”

Whatever was said on the other end caused her expression to change dramatically. “What? What did you say? Yes—yes, we’re already at the airport. We’ll head back right away!”

As soon as Kelley hung up, Willis turned to her. “What’s going on?”

Kelley’s face was tense. “It’s Mom. Something’s happened.”

“Something happened to Mom?!”

She hurried to explain. “Don’t panic. The driver just called—Mom fell while she was on her way to say a prayer for Freya and Carey. She’s in the hospital, and they’re trying to save her.”

It was nearly the end of the year. Around this time every year, Hannah would go in person to the church to pray for her daughter and granddaughter.

Hearing this, Willis grew even more anxious. He immediately looked to the assistant at the front of the group. “To the hospital! Now!”

He didn’t bother specifying which hospital—everyone knew the best one in Neon Spire belonged to the Richards family.

After all, if Hannah was in an accident, she’d be taken to their own hospital.

“Right away, Mr. Willis. I’ll arrange it now!”

Meanwhile—

Caitlin and Celeste had already hopped into a cab on their way to the hotel.

Since Celeste had booked the first-class plane tickets for both of them, Caitlin took care of the hotel reservation.

She’d picked out a luxury king room.

The hotel was perfectly located—standing at the floor-to-ceiling windows, you could take in the best waterfront view in all of Neon Spire.

Well, not exactly the ocean—a harbor, actually.

But still, the scenery was unbeatable; plenty of classic movie scenes had been shot right here.

Celeste was on a video call with her parents.

Caitlin, meanwhile, was chatting with her grandfather, Fortune.

“Grandpa, look! This is the harbor at Neon Spire. The view is amazing. Next time, I’ll bring you here and we’ll stay at this hotel together.”

Fortune chuckled. “Grandpa’s getting old, honey. All that traveling back and forth wears me out. You go have fun, don’t worry about me. It’s my day off—I’m just here playing cards with my friends!”

As he spoke, he angled the camera toward three old friends gathered around the table.

Truth be told, Fortune much preferred these quiet afternoons at home playing cards than sightseeing.

He’d always loved cards, but when money was tight, he tried to save every penny for Caitlin. Things were different now.

His granddaughter was all grown up, doing well for herself.
