Divorce Failed My Wife's Secret Identities Shock the World novel Chapter 1171

Subconsciously, Simon Grover didn't want to accept her words.

But everything Maeve Vance said made perfect sense.

The Grover family was now just one step away from total collapse, a far cry from their former glory.

Titus Burton hadn't reached his current political heights without ruthless tactics and a brilliant mind.

If he truly wanted what was best for his daughter, Simon, the second son of a declining family, was hardly a prize catch.

"Maeve, do you know something?" he asked.

Maeve leaned back. "Do you know how Titus Burton secured his current position?"

Simon shrugged. "I don't pay attention to that circle."

His comfort zone was academic research; everything else was irrelevant noise.

Maeve didn't hold back. "He steals luck."

Simon looked at her, entirely lost.

"Are you saying he didn't reach the top through actual capability, but by relying on the Forbidden Arts?"

This sort of thing wasn't exactly a secret among the ultra-elite. Many powerful figures resorted to dark, unorthodox methods to amass wealth and power.

Had anyone else said it, Simon would have laughed it off.

But coming from Maeve, it was almost certainly the truth.

Maeve's adoptive father, Griffin, was a legendary grandmaster in those esoteric circles. With that kind of backing, her words were never empty threats.

"Simon, this might sting, but I have to warn you. Titus Burton proposing this marriage alliance right now is nothing but a trap to use his disabled daughter to siphon your luck."

"He doesn't give a damn if the Grover family lives or dies. He just wants to drain your fortune so he can secure his next promotion."

"Out of the four Grover children, your destiny is the strongest."

"Once he bleeds you dry of your good fortune, his goal is achieved."

Simon sprang from his chair, his expression twisting in horror.

"Are you serious?"

Maeve casually spun her chair side to side.
