Divorce Failed! My Wife's Secret Identities Shock the World novel Chapter 1172

"I said what I needed to say. Whether he believes it or not is up to his own fate."

The Burton family was destined to crash soon anyway; extreme prosperity always invited ruin.

She had only offered the warning because Simon had shown her a brief moment of compassion during the bombing incident. This was her way of settling the score.

Whatever path Simon chose next was none of her business.

A week later, Simon Grover, the director of Lab C, officially announced the disbandment of the research facility.

The news immediately sparked a massive uproar online.

Even if Lab C had taken a hit during the recent corporate war, disbanding it completely seemed insane.

They had the talent and the infrastructure. There was so much room for future growth. Shutting it down was a tragic waste.

That night, Maeve received a text from Simon: *I know I'm just a pawn on your chessboard, but I made this move exactly as you wanted. Consider this my repayment for the blood debts the Grover family owes you.*

Attached to the message was a single photo.

It showed Simon pulling his suitcase through airport security, holding a one-way ticket out of the country.

It was his way of saying goodbye.

With Simon gone, the Grover family lost their final trump card.

The Burton family immediately showed their true colors. Not only did they launch multiple attacks against the Grover Group, but they also viciously targeted Faye's already crumbling family.

Watching his family get beaten down without any ability to fight back, Thatcher Grover lost his mind. He took all his boiling rage out on Faye.

"You want a divorce?"

Faye was stunned. At their age, after everything, she couldn't believe Thatcher was making such an outrageous demand.

Thatcher's expression was carved from stone.

"Exactly. A divorce. I can't live with you for another damn day."

The Grover family had been completely destroyed, and this stupid woman was the primary reason why.

"Nancy isn't just my daughter! What gives you the right to pin all the blame on me?"

"Let me tell you something. If you think you can just toss me aside, you're dreaming!"

Thatcher let out a dark, mocking laugh.

"Do you honestly think your family still has any power left? Take a trip back to your childhood home and see for yourself. Your nephew threw his entire career and future away just trying to get revenge for you."

"And your brothers? They're being reported left and right, dragged in for internal investigations one by one."

"Do you know who took their place? Hugh Caldwell. He got the promotion."

"The Caldwells and your family have been at each other's throats for decades. Now that he's finally got the upper hand, how do you think he's going to treat your brothers?"

"And let's not forget Franklin Bishop trying to choke out the FOX Research Institute. He pissed off half the power players in the city."

"The owner of FOX is Maeve Vance, and Maeve is fully backed by the Caldwell faction."

"Use your brain for once. If I don't sever ties with your family right now, the Grover family is going to die with you."
