THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 579

Amanda was no fool; she knew what needed to be done. "No matter what, she is your grandmother. What's the harm in apologizing to her? Ann, listen to me. Pick your battles wisely. We just need to endure a little longer. Once your uncle passes away, won't the Gonzales family be ours to control? This is not the time to burn bridges."

Hearing this, Ann forced herself to calm down. She took a deep breath. "Fine. I'll go with you."

Her mother was right. Stuart didn't have much time left. She could endure it a little longer. Once he was gone, she would finally be able to crush Caitlin beneath her heel. Then, she would make sure to repay every bit of humiliation she had suffered.

The mother and daughter drove to the Gonzales Manor. Keira was still feeling unwell and was resting in bed, a cloth on her forehead.

"Mom, I've brought Ann to apologize to you."

"Grandma, I'm sorry." Ann dropped to her knees on the floor, her voice choked with tears. "I embarrassed you."

Keira, already furious, became even more enraged at the sight of Ann kneeling. She grabbed a ceramic figurine from her bedside table and hurled it in Ann's direction. It missed, shattering on the floor.

Amanda immediately knelt in front of her daughter, her eyes red. "Mom, if you're going to blame someone, blame me. I failed to raise her properly. She's my only child, and I had such a difficult birth with her—I almost bled to death. She was so weak when she was born, she had to stay in an incubator for over two weeks. All these years, I've been so afraid of not giving her enough…"

Amanda’s words were a heart-wrenching performance, and it reminded Keira of her own experience giving birth to Amanda. She too had endured a difficult labor, struggling for a full day and night. It was why she had always doted on her daughter, even letting her and her husband live at the manor and setting up a generous trust fund for them. Seeing her daughter now, weeping for her granddaughter, Keira's heart softened. She was a mother, too.

"Spare the rod and spoil the child, Amanda!" Keira shook her head. "If you keep indulging her like this, she's going to cause a real catastrophe one day!"

Ann quickly chimed in, "Grandma, I promise, I'll change! I'll change everything! I swear I'll never make you worry again! I'll listen to you, and I'll listen to my mother."

Amanda looked up at Keira. "Mom, please give her one more chance. She never had grandparents on her father's side, and my father passed away so long ago. You're the only grandmother she has in this world."
