Trash Husband, I'm the Top novel Chapter 177

Mrs. Chambers was so furious she could barely catch her breath, her face contorted with rage—she looked as though she might tear Aurora and Grandma Grace to pieces on the spot.

“You pair of homewreckers—may you get what you deserve!”

All traces of poise abandoned her as she spat her curses.

Mr. Hogan Chambers, stubborn as ever, refused to back down. “You can’t even keep your own husband in line, yet you have the nerve to meddle in my business? If you don’t like it, you can get out of my house.”

Mrs. Chambers shook with anger, her entire body trembling. Marrying such a despicable man had been the single worst decision of her life.

She’d held this family together for years, only to be met with nothing but disdain.

Grandma Grace gave a weary sigh—she’d lived long enough to understand all too well how these things went.

“Well, since everyone’s here,” she said quietly, “I might as well make myself clear today.”

She turned first to Mrs. Chambers. “You can put your mind at ease. I have no designs on your family, none at all.”

Then she looked Hogan straight in the eye. “As for you, yes, you and I once had feelings for each other, but that was decades ago. Who even remembers such things anymore?”

“I didn’t want to marry you back then, let alone now.”

Her words put a definitive end to the conversation, and Mr. Hogan Chambers looked as if he’d been struck.

“I never forgot you…” he blurted, desperate.

For the first time, Grandma Grace let her emotions slip. Her smile was cold and mocking. “You never forgot? When you left me all those years ago just to crawl back to your own family, you swore you’d cut all ties. You haven’t reached out even once in forty years—does that sound like remembering?”

She remembered the heartbreak of being abandoned so suddenly, the despair, the way people whispered and laughed behind her back. She’d wondered then if she simply wasn’t good enough, if that was why he’d chosen ambition over her.

But luck had been on her side. Later, she’d met a man who truly loved her—not wealthy, but kind, and he’d given her the best years of her life.

That was the kind of love she would remember forever.

Mr. Hogan Chambers looked utterly defeated, the shame making him appear years older in an instant.

His voice shook. “I wronged you. I’m sorry.”
