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.

More than that, Thalia found a fortune teller who advised Iker shouldn’t live under the same roof as Kai or return home until he reached the age of twenty.

So Kai sent him to the countryside, and he never showed concern for him. Iker thought that Kai loved Thalia deeply. However, in the second year after Thalia married into the Todd family, Isabella’s younger sister also married Kai.

Iker once again felt the taste of betrayal. His mother’s death meant nothing to Kai. Even the grandparents who raised her could readily marry off her younger daughter after her death. To them, whether it was the mother, the aunt, or even him, they were just pawns.
