He Returned From His Secret Wedding to a Mansion He No Longer Owned

When the judge finalized the divorce, Gregory visibly relaxed, believing the situation had ended exactly as he wanted.

Outside the courtroom, he stopped her and said with a controlled tone, “I hope you can accept reality now and focus on the baby.”

Ashley added sweetly, “A child deserves stability, and your lives were clearly moving in different directions.”

Madeline smiled again and replied, “I agree completely, stability and honesty always matter in the end.”

It was her father, William Carter, founder of Carter Biomedical, a powerful company known across the country.

Gregory’s face drained of color as he realized the truth he had never bothered to learn.
