Chapter 571 Liam Fainted!

Kelvin's status meant folks were too scared to criticize him to his face. They'd just butter him up and kiss his ass. But the second he was out of eyeshot, he'd hear what they really thought.

And then there was Lily, always stirring the pot. She'd do stuff that grossed him out and made him squirm, but it was so sneaky he couldn't even call her out on it.

Like, she'd buy new toys just for Grant, leaving him in the dust. Or, at parent-teacher meetings, she'd hit up Grant's classroom first and only show up for his meeting after it was all over.

Kelvin's throat tightened.

He thought he'd buried those memories for good, but now, facing a divorce from Penelope, they all came rushing back.

"I don't get it," Penelope said, "but you can see Lucy's never felt second-rate."

"Not now, but what about a year after our divorce? Two years? When she starts to get it?" Kelvin shot back.

Penelope turned to look at his sharp jawline. "So, are you having second thoughts?" Were they not getting divorced? Liam had really screwed things up.

Just as Kelvin was about to say something, they heard Liam yelp, "Ouch," clutching his chest.

"Grandpa?" Kelvin called out.

Liam looked like he was about to keel over, taking a few shaky steps back and

clutching his chest even harder. "I can't go on. I'm feeling really weak."

Kelvin and Penelope exchanged a look.

"You two are gonna be the death of me!" Liam groaned. "One of these days, I'm gonna drop dead because of you."

Liam's face was twisted in pain.

Kelvin just stood there, clueless.

It was obvious Liam was faking it. His acting was terrible. Anyone could see through it!

But Kelvin couldn't just ignore it, right? What should he do? Send Liam to the hospital for a few days to chill out?

Penelope was even more lost than Kelvin. Should she act worried or just watch?
