THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 337

Last night, while chaos erupted at the Gonzales estate, Hannah and Fortune Kensington were out at a friend’s house, playing cards.

Neither of them had witnessed the incident firsthand, but the moment they walked through the front door, Keira pulled them aside and filled them in on everything that had happened.

Hannah didn’t bother to hide her disdain. In her opinion, Amanda had brought this on herself.

If Amanda had only listened to Caitlin!

What did they call that? Poetic justice.

Keira, still fuming from the night before, pinched the bridge of her nose. “Last night, when Freya tried to help Ann, not only did you refuse to trust her, but you physically blocked her from even touching Ann. And now you’re crying? What’s the point? Tears aren’t going to fix anything.”

She’d known something like this would happen.

Amanda, stung by their scolding, turned pleadingly toward Caitlin, who was standing quietly beside Fortune. Her voice trembled as she begged, “Freya, you’re so skilled—you must have a way to help Ann. Please, I’m begging you. Save her. I’m her aunt, and I’m begging you.”

Caitlin shook her head. “I’m sorry, Aunt Amanda. Ann’s leg has missed the window for proper treatment. There’s nothing I can do now.”

There was no emotion in Caitlin’s voice—just plain fact.

But Amanda couldn’t accept it. She rushed over to Caitlin and grabbed her hand, desperate. “Freya, I know you can do something. You must have a way! Please, help Ann! She’s your cousin, after all!”

Amanda hated having to beg Caitlin, but what choice did she have? She was consumed by regret—regret for not listening to Caitlin when it mattered.

“Aunt Amanda, it’s not that I don’t want to help. I simply can’t.”

“Dad, just leave me alone. I really don’t want to live anymore!”

“That’s enough!” Keira’s voice rang out, sharp as a whip. She strode to the side of the bed, her presence commanding as she fixed Ann with a stern gaze. “So you’ve lost the use of your leg. It doesn’t mean you can’t live a normal life. But the Somerset family’s young heir—he lost his life! Maybe you should take this time to reflect on yourself. Think about the consequences of your actions, and learn the difference between right and wrong. You’re an adult now. It’s time you took responsibility for your choices.”

For the first time, Keira was truly disappointed in Ann.

Ann was ready to give up over a limp, when Harlan had paid the ultimate price.

Keira had never spoken so harshly to her before, and Ann was stunned into silence, unable to react for a long while.

So the old woman was showing her true colors—clearly playing favorites. Ann thought bitterly, If Caitlin were the one in this hospital bed, would she be told to “reflect”? No, of course not.
