CHAPTER 1952 MEETING THEIR MATERNAL GRANDFATHER

Coralie was really curious about what exactly Jonathan was doing that he went back on his word to pick her up.

After leaving the hospital, she booked herself a room at a five-star hotel. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Then, she made a call.

“Trey, help me investigate Jonathan Queen of the Queen family and see what exactly he's doing. My brother had once asked you to keep tabs on him in the past.”

Trey Calnan was someone Shawn personally trained in Horington. He spearheaded a small team specializing in collecting information, very much efficient at his job.

He had kept tabs on Lucian and Jonathan in the past and managed to obtain genuine information on them.

Of course, it was also possible that both men could not be bothered to conceal their whereabouts.

In no time, Trey came back to Coralie with the answer.

“I've found that Jonathan Queen likely remained at Madilyn Xander's house for a few hours and only left after lunch. The license plate matches.” After reporting back habitually, Trey hung up the phone.

Coralie was stunned for a long time before fury abruptly blazed to life within her.

So... I lost to Madilyn? Did she really seize advantage of the time while I was away from Horington to take her relationship with Jonathan further at lightning speed? Countless wealthy heirs pursued me back in the north, but I could not muster the slightest interest in them all. After meeting an intriguing man like Jonathan, I've taken my relationship with him seriously. Never had I imagined that I'd lose to an inferior woman with no background whatsoever.

Her blood boiled, and she was so incensed that she opened a bottle of wine and started downing it sullenly.

In the evening, Roxanne listened as Madilyn narrated the events that had happened that day. Deep within, she felt rather glad that Jonathan did not bother about Coralie but took care of her best friend instead, proving that the latter occupied a crucial position in the man's heart.

Nevertheless, Madilyn did not dare tell her about Jonathan having seen her unclothed in the morning.

Roxanne again encouraged Madilyn at length, urging her to be more proactive instead of being reserved and to cling to Jonathan tightly.

The two of them then teased one another. It was not until the triplets had returned from school that Roxanne hung up the phone.

Subsequently, she phoned her father, Grant, and arranged for him to meet the children at a park.

Grant sounded incredibly emotional on the phone, thanking her fervently, but that put her slightly ill at ease.

Lucian helped the triplets take their bags and books into the mansion. On the heels of that, he told them to change in preparation for meeting their maternal grandfather.

“Granddad? Why are we going to meet him, Daddy? Has Mommy agreed?”

“Granddad never wanted us, no? I don't want to meet him!”

Archie and Benny's aversion was still as candid as ever. They understood many things and had never seen their maternal grandfather all these years, making it clear that the man did not care about them at all.

Looking at her brothers, Estella followed their lead. “Since Archie and Benny don't want to go, neither do I.”

Roxanne overheard the conversation and could only come over and explain things to them, pointing out that it was just a brief meeting that would not take long.

Elias likewise coaxed, “If you all don't like it, just have a look at him from afar. This is basic courtesy.”

At long last, the triplets relented.

With Lucian driving, they all headed to the park.

Right then, Grant was busy packing everything up at a dilapidated residential area in the suburbs. He had bought a lot of branded children's clothes and even had three emerald pendants made for the triplets.

Behind him, Winnie wore a chagrined expression. “Why did you spend so much money? Those three brats might not necessarily acknowledge you. Your plan this time had better succeed. Otherwise, you'll be getting it from me. How dare you ask me to play along with you, even getting a divorce with me for real!”

“What do you know? I only did so to show her in a show of sincerity. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to approach Roxanne at all. Aren't I doing all this for the sake of our future? If you've got nothing to do, Winnie, take some money and look for that son of yours!”

Wrath lined Grant's features, and he knew all too well that she had no control over him at the moment.

After all, the divorce certificate was real though the divorce itself was bogus.

He had finally convinced the woman to play along with him after much difficulty, and it was all for the sake of obtaining perpetual financial support from the heir of the Crawford family.
