Chapter 216 The Past

• Desmond gripped the steering wheel tightly as he made his way home. He had planned to go straight back to his company after leaving the hospital, but now, his mind was too clouded with questions and realizations. He needed time to process and a cool space to think.
• 'Anabel is a billionaire heiress?' The thought hit him again, settling heavily in his chest. His ex-wife was the only daughter of the richest man in the state. How had he never known? But why did she keep it from him for so long?
• His mind drifted back to the day she walked out of his house after signing the divorce papers. He remembered the way she left without a single penny. She didn't demand any compensation. She didn't even fight for assets. Rather, she told him that his money won't solve half of her bills.
