Cold Husband Burning Regret: The Divorce He Couldn't Handle novel Chapter 592

At the mention of Hulda, Shane's expression darkened, yet his face showed no concern for his mother, only cold indifference. "You seem more concerned about her than I am."

"She invested so much in you. Now that she's lost her power, you've disowned her?"

Wesley frowned.

Among the Rayburns, aside from Caleb, only Shane was more complex than he appeared.

He was not just ruthless, but exceptionally cold-blooded.

No wonder he could manipulate Quincy and Kate.

Shane sneered. "Those were her choices; she can't blame anyone else. Wesley, I know the patriarch favors you, but I'm afraid things won't go your way. After all, the Rayburn family owes me a debt, and it's time to pay up. Anyone who gets in my way will end up like Kate."

With that parting shot, he turned and walked away.

Wesley's brow furrowed.

The Rayburn family owes him a debt…

What did that mean?

From the study window, the patriarch stood with his hands clasped behind his back, having witnessed the entire exchange in the courtyard.

The butler approached from behind with a bowl of medicinal broth. "Sir, it's time for your medicine."

The patriarch took the bowl and drank the dark, potent liquid without a change in expression. Setting it down, he asked suddenly, "What do you think of Wesley?"

The butler, taken aback, replied, "Mr. Wesley is a good man. He's loyal, sensible, and knows how to handle things with discretion."

"You have a high opinion of him," the patriarch noted, turning back to the window. "And what about Shane?"

The butler hesitated for a few seconds before lowering his head. "I... I wouldn't dare to comment on him, sir."
