Divorce Failed My Wife's Secret Identities Shock the World novel Chapter 1129

"Where is he?" Claudia demanded, her voice thick with desperation.

"He'll return when the time is right," Maeve replied smoothly. "But like I said, when he does come back, he will bear the physical scars of his work."

She paused, her gaze turning serious. "However, if you just wait around for him, you might lose your chance to ever have children."

Claudia froze, processing the hidden weight of Maeve's words.

Slowly, a fierce light ignited in her eyes.

"With my current health, am I a candidate for artificial insemination?"

She took a deep breath. "Before he left, he froze a sample at a sperm bank. I don't care about popping out an heir for the Grover family. But I desperately want to carry his child. I want his lineage to live on."

Maeve didn't hesitate. "One million dollars, and I'll make sure it happens."

Claudia let out a wet, relieved laugh.

She loved doing business with Maeve. No games, no pretense—just raw honesty and a clear price tag.

A million dollars to secure the child of the man she loved? It was the bargain of a lifetime.

"Deal."

While Claudia was stepping out of the darkness and reclaiming her life, Barton Grover's world had completely collapsed into a living hell.

In the blink of an eye, he had lost his idealized mistress and his only son to horrific violence.

And now, Claudia had formally served him with divorce papers.

The divorce guaranteed the Beaumont family would pull all their investments, an act that would shatter the Grover Group's already fragile standing.

His parents had begged, threatened, and pleaded, but nothing could stop the inevitable.

But even that apocalyptic personal ruin wasn't Barton's most pressing issue.

He was currently facing a catastrophic lawsuit from the Trident Group out of Port Caspian, demanding nearly 1.5 billion dollars in damages.
