The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 1069

"Why? Do you have the audacity to ask me why? That day, I gave you an opportunity, and it was you who adamantly insisted on divorce! And now you demand that I return Paige's money. Why should I comply with such a request?"

Grant bellowed angrily.

"When your husband passed away, it was I who welcomed you and your daughter, providing you with sustenance and comfort. Was it wrong of me to use some of her money? You are ungrateful individuals! Look at the predicament I find myself in!"

Just then, an unfamiliar voice, suddenly resonated in the air.

"Prior to Peyton's demise, have you ever left the villa where you lived with your lover?"

Grant was utterly shocked.

"Who? Who are you?"

"The one who shall pass judgment upon you," the other party replied. "Here, only by speaking the truth can you find redemption. Otherwise, you shall be plagued by malevolent spirits, never to find peace!"

As soon as those words were uttered, the person who had been digging their own grave stopped abruptly, turning towards Grant, staring directly at him.

Tina, lying on the ground, slowly stood up, blood streaming down, walking towards him.

Gradually, out of the fog, came Isis, Abigail and her family.

And some others, vaguely visible, hidden in the heavy fog.

"Help! Somebody help me!!!" Grant was breaking down, unable to shake off the shadows behind him, unable to leave this pit. He couldn't escape, he could only watch as these shadows came closer and closer.

"Speak the truth, and you'll be released." The voice echoed again.

Grant was overcome with extreme terror.

He hastily spoke, "I'll confess! I will confess! That day, I did indeed evade the surveillance and secretly met with Peyton..."

Time rewound to the day of the incident.

Peyton had nowhere else to turn, receiving a call from Grant.

Being inherently kind-hearted, Peyton was also driven by the urgency to reclaim Paige's rightful inheritance.
