When Love Becomes a Cage by Nora

Chapter 228

"Damn it, Clyde, you jerk!" Merritt's cane was about to crash down on him, but there he stood, defiant as ever.

"Grandpa, is there really no better way? All this gossip swirling around, just because she refuses to divorce! If she'd just agree to a divorce, whoever I'm with wouldn't matter to the company. She's the one to blame!"

"Give me three days. I will provide a satisfactory solution. That concludes today's board meeting."
