Chapter 20 Chapter 20 288 Vouchers "Alright, that was ages ago. Grandma, you should get some rest." "How can you…" Corinne was fuming as she watched him head upstairs. She quickly followed. "She's really not coming back? She hardly has any friends in Gerberton. Where could she even go at this hour? Isn't this her home?" Garrett's steps halted, and a shadow crossed his brow. "Maybe she has another home elsewhere. Grandma, you might want to face reality, but your influence doesn't reach that far." Corinne was infuriated. She pointed a trembling finger at him. "Fine! Next time you need anything, don't come beg- ging to me." Garrett said nothing. Only when she was a few steps away did he speak in a hoarse voice. "She wants a divorce." Corinne stopped in her tracks, wondering if she'd misheard. Everyone in Gerberton knew how deeply Adrienne loved Garrett. And now she wanted a divorce? "You're joking, right? I'd believe you want one, but Adrienne? She's been head over heels for you. You seriously don't know that?" "Grandma, I don't want to talk about this. If she comes to you, just turn her away." "Then what do you actually want?" Garrett turned around and gave a cold smile. "We're meant to torment each other for a lifetime." Corinne could only sigh, lifting a hand as if to wave off the madness. "Fine, have it your way. I guess I'll stop hoping for a great-grandchild from you." Garrett entered his study and stared blankly at the documents on his desk. There was an important overseas meeting tonight, but he had no energy to even open his laptop. Jared came in quietly and reminded him, "Sir, the meeting starts in five minutes." Garrett gave a low grunt and finally powered on his laptop. He used to be strict with the overseas team. But tonight, he didn't say a single word, leaving everyone nervous and unsettled. 0.0 % 16:43 After the meeting ended, someone even called Jared privately, probing if the company was planning to send someone new to take over. Jared gave a vague response, guessing this was about Adrienne. After the meeting, Garrett didn't rest. He went straight out to drink. Everyone in the private room was familiar to him, people he got along with well. Norman raised a glass, laughing suddenly. "I heard Adrienne got caught being someone's mistress and got beaten up by the guy's wife. Is it true? Guess she really enjoys being the other woman." Garrett's gaze turned cold. "How do you know that?" Bethany jumped in quickly. "Norman! I just mentioned it in passing. You completely twisted what I said! Adrienne wouldn't do something like that. It has to be a misunderstanding. But she really did get beaten up. Garrett, did you go see her? Is she okay?" Seeing how concerned Bethany was, a few people sighed. "Beth, you're too kind. If I were you, I'd have slapped her myself." But Beth didn't respond to that. She looked directly at Garrett with concern. "Did you go see her? How is she?" "No." A glimmer of something flashed in her eyes, and her lips curved slightly. "You should at least check on her. You're still married, after all." "You want me to go?" That one sentence made the whole room fall silent. Bethany's cheeks flushed. She glared at the others. "Oh, come on! That's just how Garrett and I talk. We've known each other since before he was found and brought back to the family. He even helped me out back then." It was true. Bethany and Garrett had known each other for a long time. But back then, all he could see was Adrienne.
