Chapter 1069

"Why? Do you have the audacity to ask me why? That day, I gave you an opportunity, and it was you who adamantly insisted on divorce! And now you demand that I return Paige's money. Why should I comp Grant bellowed angrily.

"When your husband passed

away, it was I who welcomed you and your daughter, providing you with sustenance and comfort. Was it wrong of me to use some of her money? You are ungrateful individuals! Look at the predicament I replace m Just then, an unfamiliar voice, suddenly resonated in the air.

"Prior to Peyton's demise, have you ever left the villa where you lived with your lover?"

Grant was utterly shocked.

"Who? Who are you?"

"The one who shall pass judgment upon you," the other party replied. "Here, only by speaking the truth can you replace redemption. Otherwise, you shall be plagued by malevolent spints, never to replace peace!"

As soon as those words were uttered, the person who had been digging their own grave stopped abruptly, turning towards Grant, staring directly at him. Tina, lying on the ground, slowly stood up, blood stream Gradually, out of the fog, came Isis, Abigail and her family.

And some others, vaguely visible, hidden in the heavy fog.

"Help! Somebody help me!!!" Grant was breaking down, unable to shake off the shadows behind him, unable to leave this pit. He couldn't escape, he could

only watch as these shadows came closer and closer.

"Speak the truth, and you'll be released." The voice echoed again.

Grant was overcome with extreme terror.

He hastily spoke, "I'll confess! I will confess! That day, I did indeed evade the surveillance and secretly met with Peyton..."

Time rewound to the day of the incident.

Peyton had nowhere else to turn, receiving a call from Grant.

Being inherently kind-hearted, Peyton was also driven by the urgency to reclaim Paige's rightful inheritance.

The litigation process was dragging on, and it was highly probable that Grant had already transferred the assets.

Peyton worried that if the dispute persisted, not a single penny would be recovered, so she agreed.

Grant found an unmonitored location, in the black market, where he procured an unregistered vehicle. Fully armed, he transported Peyton through back roads to the reservoir where he often went fishing.

"Where are you taking me?" Peyton was a bit wary halfway there.

Grant glanced at her, "Didn't you always want to go fishing with me before? We're about to part, let's fulfill your wish.

Tears welled up in Peyton's eyes.

"What's the use of doing these now? When should you have done this?"

Grant didn't answer.

When they arrived, it was already dark.

He parked the car.

Grant and Peyton walked along a path overgrown with weeds, strolling as if on a leisurely walk.

"Peyton, is divorce truly inevitable for this marriage? I can sever ties with that woman..." Grant spoke.

"If divorce is not your intention, it can be avoided," Grant looked at Peyton.

However, her subsequent response hit him like a bucket of cold water. "Return both Paige's money and my money to us, and then I will believe that you genuinely don't want a divorce." "So, you believe that money is more important than me, is that it?" Grant asked, "Have I treated you poorly all these years? Whatever you desired, I provided it to you..."

"But the money you took from me is enough for me to buy those things and still have some left over!"

She realized this fact clearly, and now she could see everything.

"Very well." Grant clapped his hands, laughing.

Peyton felt uneasy, "You think about it, I don't want to go to court after the marriage breaks up. At least... you should give me back that money."

"Peyton."
