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!"

I closed my eyes in agony, telling myself over and over that he was truly sick, and not lightly either.

But I couldn't find it in myself to forgive him. Right then, I wished I could march over and slap him silly.

Fenton's voice was cautious, making me look up at him with teary eyes.

"I'm fine."

"Clyde, shut your trap!"

Merritt hit him with the cane, then turned to the astonished crowd.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my apologies. Our family drama has unfortunately caused you all losses."

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

When Merritt spoke, no one dared to disobey.
