THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 278

She’d worked so hard, trying to better herself, and yet her life was still stuck at the bottom.

But Caitlin?

Caitlin did nothing at all and somehow managed to become the little princess everyone envied.

Why did God have to be so unfair to her?

When Mr. and Mrs. Hadley returned home, they opened the door to find their daughter and son-in-law, along with their granddaughter, all sitting on the floor in tears. The sight startled them so much they nearly dropped everything they were carrying.

What on earth had happened?

A wave of dread swept over the Hadleys.

Mrs. Hadley quickly set down her purse and hurried over. “Iliana, Ernest! What’s going on? What are you all doing down there?”

Mr. Hadley bent down and lifted Bonnie up, his face full of concern. “Bonnie, get up, darling! Tell your grandparents—what happened?”

Iliana threw herself into her mother’s arms, sobbing. “Mom! Why does our family have such terrible luck?”

It was just too cruel.

They’d been only one step away from striking it rich.

“Terrible luck?” Mrs. Hadley was taken aback.

Thanks to the Chandlers, they’d long since climbed out of hardship and were now a comfortable, middle-class family, living a happy and peaceful life.

Where was all this talk of bad luck coming from?

She tried to reassure her daughter. “What are you saying? We’ve even moved into a luxury condo! Life is only going to get better from here. How could you say we’re unlucky?”

“A luxury condo?” Iliana let out a hollow laugh, her eyes brimming with bitterness.

What’s a condo compared to real wealth?

Forget condos. Given what’s happened, even if someone handed her a mansion, it wouldn’t change a thing.

After all—

We’re talking about the Gonzales family and the Richards family!

How could she possibly accept this?

Mr. Hadley pulled Bonnie to her feet and then helped Ernest up as well. “Come on, Ernest, get up. Tell us—what’s happened?”

Ernest looked up at his in-laws, his face ashen. “Mom, Dad, did you hear about the Gonzales and Richards families finding their lost heir?”

Both Hadleys nodded. “Of course. There’s been nothing but talk of it lately. We even heard the girl’s been living right here in Silverhaven.”

The whole town was buzzing about it—especially since the main character was a local girl.
