Out of Ashes Into His Heart novel Chapter 21

"Jinx?"

I let out a cold laugh. "Are you referring to Mandy?"

Victor's face immediately twisted with displeasure when he heard this. "What nonsense are you talking about? What does Mandy have to do with this?"

The way he addressed her so intimately made my stomach churn.

"You know better than anyone whether she's involved or not!" I had no intention of wasting more words on him. This was still the Gould family; if a confrontation broke out, I would only come out on the losing end.

Turning away, I reassured Amelia to focus on resting and recovering, promising to visit her again soon.

She knew full well what kind of person Victor was and feared I would suffer more mistreatment if I stayed. Reluctantly, she bid me farewell.

Just as I left her room, he chased after me.

"Stop right there, Grace!"

He blocked my way, full of self-righteousness, looking down at me as if his word were law. "Since you're planning to divorce Gavin, get it done quickly. Stop dragging it out!"

I couldn't help but laugh in exasperation.

I had long known about his shamelessness, but I hadn't expected his bottom line to be this low.

What kind of father eagerly wished for his own son's divorce?

But his urgency suited me just fine.

I couldn't wait for Gavin to hurry up and sign the divorce agreement.

"I've already signed the divorce papers. It's Gavin who refuses to sign them!"

Victor frowned deeply. "Impossible! You must be up to some tricks again!"
