The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress novel Chapter 589

The Glenwood family scandal was snowballing, and soon after, irregularities in Glenwood Group’s finances were exposed. Their stock price plummeted, with shareholders clamoring to pull their investments.

Chaos reigned within the Glenwood family. The stress proved too much for Scales, who suffered a heart attack and was rushed to the ICU.

Watching the company’s shares hit rock bottom, Talbot was on the verge of a breakdown.

Word traveled fast. It wasn’t long before Theo saw the public outrage erupting online.

That same evening, he took Jeanette back to the old family estate.

The moment Talbot saw Jeanette, his expression hardened, brows knitting in displeasure. “Why did you bring her back here?”

“Dad, you know as well as I do—Jeanette has nowhere else to go right now.”

Theo shot Jeanette a glance full of quiet sympathy.

He hesitated, his tone darkening. “Besides, her health’s been fragile ever since she got sick last time.”

Just thinking about it made Theo’s blood boil. If Citrine hadn’t refused to let anyone treat Jeanette, she wouldn’t be dealing with lingering health issues now.

After leaving the research center, Theo had whisked Jeanette straight to a Glenwood Group hospital. But not a single doctor dared operate on her. In the end, Theo had to personally select the most experienced surgeon to take her case.

Even so, the damage was done. Her heart and kidneys—already weak—had only gotten worse.

Watching his son defend a woman accused of assault, Talbot’s face twisted in barely concealed disgust.

He shot Jeanette a contemptuous glare. “I don’t care what tricks you used to seduce my son, but let me make one thing clear: as long as I’m alive, you will never step foot into this family.”
