Twin Cupids at Work Daddy Come Home novel Chapter 658

Tears rolled down Claire’s cheeks, blurring her vision.

“Grandpa, I… What difference would it make if I said something? No matter what I said, Dad died in that accident because he was going to see her. Whether I spoke up or not, would it really have changed anything?”

She tilted her head back to look at Christian. He met her eyes, and deep down, he knew she was right. If not for Shelly, there would have been no accident. Still, in that moment, disappointment in Claire overwhelmed him. She always talked about revenge, but she’d never really done anything about it. Instead, all she cared about was chasing the Ballard family’s title. Her real motives couldn't have been clearer. And now, to make it worse, he'd learned his son could have survived...

Christian took a shaky breath and nodded, defeated. “Alright then. I understand.”

“Grandpa…”

“Don’t call me that. I used to be grateful, thinking you wanted justice for my son. I helped you every step of the way. But now I know the truth—my son gave his life to save you. We Graysons don’t owe you a thing.”

Christian’s words hung in the air, unfinished. Claire panicked. She collapsed at his feet, clutching at his coat in a desperate plea.

“Grandpa, please, don’t do this. Everything I did, everything I’ve become, it was all for Father. You can’t just walk away from me.”

Christian let out a harsh laugh. “Don’t try to make yourself sound noble. All you wanted was the Ballard family’s fortune. You were never satisfied, and now you’re paying the price for your own choices. The Graysons raised you. Brian saved your life. We’ve already done more than enough. From now on, you have nothing to do with our family.”

“No, Grandpa...” Despair flooded her. If Christian abandoned her now, she was finished. Madeline and Julian would never let her off the hook.

“Grandpa, please... Grandpa, don’t go…”

“Get out.” Christian shook off her grip. Claire crashed to the floor, a sobbing mess.

Why? Why had she schemed for so long, given up so much, only for everything to fall apart like this? It was all Madeline’s fault. And Shelly’s. They had ruined everything for her. This was all because of them.

Shelly didn’t look at Claire anymore. She took Madeline’s hand and turned to face the crowd. Her voice was calm and clear.

“Everyone, I know there’s been a lot of talk about who the real Madeline is, and people have been speculating for a while. Now, I want to make it official. The woman standing beside me is my true daughter, Madeline. She’s the only Madeline.”
