She Became Rich After Divorce by Georgina Lane

Chapter 499: Marrying Against One’s Will

She left him quietly and resolutely, in a manner that Iker could never forget. Her departure only brought greater advantages to that mother and son.

Kai swiftly processed the funeral, afraid of being affected in any way. Soon, he openly married Thalia, making that illegitimate son become Master Davon of the Todd family. Meanwhile, his mother was forgotten.
