When Love Becomes a Cage by Nora

Chapter 183

Chapter 183



The thought of what Clyde had said to me earlier made my brow furrow involuntarily.

It was all about the money, wasn't it?

If the money had been mine before we got married, then Clyde wouldn't have a claim on it.

He was probably betting on me divorcing Clyde and then having someone bump me off. As my sole heir, he'd naturally inherit all the cash.

But that would take time. After being married to Clyde for years, splitting assets and going through court battles would take at least a year or two. Waiting for Lisa to secure her position in the Patterson family and get the money to bail out her son? By then, her son would be long gone.

He was getting impatient.

But premarital assets were a different story.

The funds were abroad, and they definitely couldn't check my marital status there.

All he needed was my death certificate to prove he was my heir, and with Galen's help, getting the money wouldn't be an issue. Especially with Geneva still in his clutches...

The more I thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. Why else would he keep insisting it was premarital property?
