Cold Husband Burning Regret: The Divorce He Couldn't Handle novel Chapter 561

Shane set his glass down and slowly rose to face Wesley. "Weren't you two here? I figured you could handle it."

Wesley turned and gestured for Julian to leave. Once they were alone in the office, he walked behind his desk and sat down. "Setting my aunt kate business aside for a moment, it seems you haven't shown much concern for your own mother's situation either, have you?"

"My mother brought this upon herself," Shane sighed, walking over to a bookshelf and pulling out a book on finance. "I warned her, but she wouldn't listen. Since she chose to have a secret affair with Quincy, it was only a matter of time before it all came to light."

He spoke as if discussing a complete stranger, his face devoid of any emotion.

Wesley's fingertips drummed a restless rhythm on the desk, his sharp gaze fixed on Shane's back.

"Being 'brothers' with my grandfather's son? I hardly think I'm worthy of such an honor. If you have nothing else to say, please show yourself out." Wesley gestured toward the door.

Shane's helpless expression faltered for a second before melting into a wry smile. "You're still as unforgiving as ever."

He slowly approached the desk, leaning forward with his hands on the edge. "Wesley, you and I both know how things work in this family, but I truly don't have a choice. My enemies are not you and your father, so I honestly don't want to be your opponent."

With those parting words, Shane left.

Not long after, Julian walked back in, curious. "What on earth did that guy want?"

Wesley's eyes darkened slightly. "He came to advise me. Or maybe, to warn me."
