Shredded Vows: The Billionaire’s Secret Heir novel Chapter 61

Lydia stood behind Gideon, shielded by his presence, and watched as his mother, livid and tight-lipped, turned and stormed off.

Catherine probably hadn't expected her son to show up.

Honestly, neither had Lydia.

After Catherine Gray left, the living room fell dead silent, the temperature seeming to drop several degrees.

Lydia looked at him, just about to speak, but Gideon turned and headed for the stairs, completely ignoring her.

She watched his aloof, retreating back, a complicated knot forming in her stomach.

Why was Gideon so adamantly against getting a divorce?

Was it because he hadn't met the woman he truly loved yet?

If that woman existed, he would definitely be in a rush to end their marriage, right?

Going against his own mother for her sake would only make Catherine hate her more, which wasn't exactly a win for Lydia, a reality she suddenly understood all too well.

So, was Gideon's attitude intentional?

Did he want to torture her... and let his mother torture her, too?

"Lydia, have you had dinner?" Mrs. Gable asked softly, her tone full of genuine concern.

"I ate," Lydia replied, snapping out of her daze and giving the older woman a gentle look. "I'm going upstairs. You all should get some rest soon."

Once upstairs, she retreated to her study, knowing full well she couldn't sketch in this state of mind.

Picking up her pen, her thoughts drifted back twenty years...

On the day of Xavier Gray's accident, besides Jeffrey Jenson, who hadn't seen the truth, and Serena Sterling, who would never testify for her, who else was there?

Who exactly were those people? She racked her brain trying to remember.

Even if she had a list of names, she probably wouldn't dare approach them, and those privileged socialites wouldn't necessarily tell her the truth anyway.
