The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 1070

At that moment, Grant called out to her gently.

"Hm?" Peyton turned to look at him.

"I really loved you," Grant said, "just like I truly loved Abigail."

"Your ex-wife?" Peyton furrowed her brow.

Grant rarely mentioned his ex-wife. She only knew that the woman had ultimately betrayed him.

Upon being discovered, consumed by shame, she chose to end her own life.

Later, the son of Grant's ex-wife's lover had come looking for him, due to their connection.

"Yes," Grant nodded, gazing at the reservoir. "Do you know, I starved her for two days until she became as thin as a skeleton. With a gentle embrace, I guided her head into that trap..."

Peyton reacted with a momentary pause, struck by astonishment.

Recalling the words spoken by a man named Josiah Draper: "Your husband is a cold-blooded murderer. He killed Abigail, and he killed my father. By protecting him now, you might be the next one to die!"

"You killed your ex-wife?" Peyton slowly stepped back.

"I didn't want to, but she insisted on leaving me. Just like you, insisting on leaving me!" Grant's expression suddenly turned terrifying.

Before Peyton could react, with a strong push, he shoved Peyton into the reservoir.

Peyton couldn't swim, and the reservoir was deep. After a few struggles, there was no more movement on the water surface.

This place was deserted, Grant sat by the dam for a long time without seeing a single person pass by.

He stared at the water's surface and mockingly said, "Look, not even heaven is on your side. No one has come for you all this time. Just stay here, in there, and fatten up the fish. The next time I go fishing, I'll catch some and feed them to Paige!"
