Are You Lying Again
Stunned by the response, Grant attempted to move his chapped lips, but all he could manage was a
wry smile.
“Since you already know about it, I might as well come clean. It's true that I succumbed to my greed
and took Mr. Crawford's bribe. His objective was to place me by your side to gather information,” Grant
related the truth candidly.
“With that aim in mind, I divorced Winnie. Initially, the divorce wasn't meant to be genuine. Once I
received enough money from Mr. Crawford, she would return to my side. Unfortunately, I was a fool...”
Grant mumbled away.
Meanwhile, Lucian's brows knitted, for the last thing he wanted was to become Grant's agony uncle. He
wasn't at all interested in what was on Grant's mind.
After all, it was Grant's decision to abandon Roxanne's mother and get together with Winnie. On top of
that, he even brought two children into the family, causing Roxanne trauma that she would never heal
from.
“Mr. Jarvis, there's no need to bring up the past anymore. Roxanne is well aware of your motives, so
you had better not disturb our lives again. As for the children, I'll tell them that their granddad has gone
overseas to set up a business.”
With that, Lucian turned to leave but was unexpectedly held back by Grant.
The latter was suddenly gripped by emotions, and he began trembling all over.
With a pleading look in his eyes, he said, “Lucian, I know that I have committed a terrible sin and don't
deserve anything, but you have to trust me when I say that I have cut ties with Mr. Crawford. I have no
way of paying back the money he gave me, so I'm currently in hiding. I have now lost everything and
no longer want anything. However, Lucian, you have to tell Roxanne this—”
Losing patience with Grant's soliloquy, Lucian shoved the latter aside as he snapped, “I'm sorry, but I'm
not interested in what you have to say. Please leave now before I ask my bodyguards to throw you
out!”
He's sorry? He has repented? A man like this will never know remorse!
Lucian quickened his pace, for he no longer wanted to hear Grant's voice again.
Behind him, all Grant could do was stare blankly at his leaving silhouette.
“I'm sorry. It's all my fault. This must be karma for what I've done. Even going to hell is too light a
punishment for someone like me...”
With that, Lucian turned to leave but was unexpectedly held back by Grant.
Within a few seconds, he dropped to his knees with a sorrowful expression.
“Lucian, I beg you to ask Roxanne to give me an opportunity to apologize. I have a terminal illness and
my days are numbered. There are only two or three days left, I'm afraid. I...”
Just as Grant was yelling at the top of his voice, he swooned and collapsed head-first to the ground.
Upon hearing the dull thud, Lucian stopped in his tracks immediately.
When he turned around to look, Grant was lying on the floor with his eyes closed, and his lips were
pale.
The sudden turn of events stunned Lucian, causing him to wonder if this was another of Grant's tricks.
Terminal illness? I'm surprised he's using such a cliched excuse.
That said, Lucian did notice that Grant's skin appeared more yellowish than usual, which was a
common symptom of ill health.
However, it didn't seem a good idea to leave Grant unattended at the main gate.
Hence, he waved for his bodyguards to come over.
“Keep an eye on him!”
With that, the bodyguards quickly carried Grant to a security post outside the gate.
