The assistant hesitated, picking up on the shift in Milton’s mood. “Mr. Shaw… Did Ms. Gordon find out what you did?
“Otherwise, with her physical condition, there’s no way she would’ve left like this!
“If that’s the case, then I’m afraid…
Before he could finish, Milton cut him off sharply.
“Find her. I don’t care where she is–I want her brought back to me.
“As long as I don’t agree to it, this divorce means nothing.”
Purchase completed
The assistant, pale with fear, quickly turned and left the villa.
Meanwhile, Camryn sat on the couch with Shannon in her arms, speaking softly, “Milton… is Lauren gone?
“She’s being ridiculous. I mean, sure, couples fight, but there’s a limit. She’s going too far.”
Milton didn’t respond. He had no interest in hearing another word from her.
Just then, a notification popped up on his phone–an email from me.
He opened it in a rush. Inside was a recording.
As soon as he hit play, Camryn’s voice came blaring out, cruel and
Venomous.

Then came the sound of me being shoved to the ground.
In the recording, Camryn could be heard relentlessly slandering me. Then, shockingly, she revealed the truth about how Milton was responsible for our child’s death and the kidney transplant.
Milton stood frozen. It hit him like a train. The truth–all of it–laid bare. He turned slowly to glare at Camryn, eyes cold and sharp.
Camryn’s face went ghost white as she watched the color drain from his face, his expression growing darker by the second.
At this point, no amount of lies could save her. So she tried a different tactic–playing on his emotions.
“Milton, that’s not how it happened,” she said quickly.
“Lauren came at me first! She provoked me!”
Milton’s voice shook with fury.
“Even now, you’re still trying to twist things and smear Lauren?
“Camryn, you’re the one who drove her away!”
Desperate, Camryn grabbed his hand, but Milton jerked away violently.
Her eyes turned red with panic as she stared at him.
“Milton, please… That’s not true…
But Milton was done. His patience had run dry.
“From now on, Shannon will stay with the Shaw family. As for you, get out of my house.”

Camryn finally broke.
She collapsed to the floor and scrambled toward him, her voice shaking.
“Milton! You know I can’t live without Shannon!”
But Milton didn’t let her finish.
“Shannon should’ve been raised here, with me and Lauren,” he said coldly.
Then, without hesitation, he called his assistant. “Come pick up Shannon. She’s not to be left with Camryn ever again.”
He couldn’t believe how blind he’d been.
All this time, the truth had been right in front of him–hidden behind Camryn’s web of lies. And in protecting her, he had destroyed the woman who truly loved him.
Lauren Gordon had no family or friends in this country. She had stayed behind for him and him alone.
He had promised to be her support for the rest of her life–to never betray their love.
But look at what he had done.
Guilt and regret tore through him like a storm.
As he turned to leave, the heavy silence of the villa closed in around him.
