Chapter 2425
Later, Trevor's grandparents allowed Wenham to take him back, but he still maintained close ties with Salcator. Meanwhile, he didn't visit his own mother for two years.
Trevor knew Wenham was angry at his grandmother. If she hadn't pressured his mother to deal with that business issue, Wenham might have stayed with her, and she might not have died from a premature birth. This stalemate continued until his grandmother became seriously ill.
Darcie had said much about how a mother-child relationship couldn't be easily severed, and how long could resentment last when facing a dying person?
Trevor hired caregivers for his grandmother, but her illness made her irritable, and she went through several caregivers. His uncle had moved to Salcator, and Trevor's father had to manage his own business, Enchanted, and care for his mother. Trevor had no siblings to share the burden.
During those months, Trevor was exhausted. His grandmother was paralyzed on one side, couldn't walk properly, and was difficult to deal with. Despite the high pay, fewer people were willing to work for her. Sometimes she would even look at Wenham and ask, "Do you wish I would die?"
Trevor knew Wenham was on the verge of breaking down. It was at this point that Darcie appeared like a savior.
When no one else would care for his grandmother, Darcie took over and did a great job. Though his grandmother cursed and said horrible things, Darcie patiently listened and coaxed her. Under Darcie's care, his grandmother's health slowly improved, and she became increasingly dependent on Darcie.
Later, his grandmother even tried to set up Wenham with Darcie. When Wenham refused, she threatened to die.
Trevor thought about these events repeatedly. He had been young and didn't remember much, but now he could only analyze what had happened based on Darcie's actions.
For instance, Trevor used to think Darcie was kind when she tried to mediate between his mother and grandmother, but now he suspected she had hidden motives.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Even though his grandmother disliked his mother, his parents had been married for six years, and their relationship hadn't reached such a low point. But after following Darcie's advice, his grandmother grew even more resentful.
Trevor also remembered that he never had stomach issues, unlike Keegan, who would get diarrhea from spicy food. Trevor ate snacks prepared by his mother at her company, and later, he ate snacks made by Darcie too. He never felt sick after eating his mother's snacks, so was his illness that day just an accident, or did someone cause it?
After all, that day, Darcie had the chance to meet his grandmother and Wenham.
Thinking back, some things were terrifying.
No one knew when Darcie started planning to replace his mother, but her thorough plan couldn't have been a spur-of-the-moment idea.
Trevor quietly asked, "Do you know why my dad and Darcie have been married for so long without children? It's because when my grandmother was attacked by a mentally ill patient in the nursing home Darcie om

intervened and was seriously injured, leaving her unable to have children. That was one reason why my grandmother forced my father to marry her. But they didn't know that a few months after my mother passed away, my father got a vasectomy. He promised my grandparents he
wouldn't have more children and
would focus on raising me. So,
whether Darcie's infertility was real or
not, she wouldn't be able to have
children.
Without a child, she can't claim most
of the Saun family's assets.

doubted my father's love for mother. But I'm worried that if my grandmother had a role in this, how would he handle it? My father loved my mother most, yet in the end, he married her killer, and the person he respected was an accomplice. I'm afraid she'll do something extreme, and before justice is served, she'll push him away."
If she had been planning this since my mother was pregnant, how could a woman who spent seven years turning herself into Mrs. Saun be ordinary?
The fact that she hired someone to
investigate after just one phone call shows how sharp she is. It's all too easy for those around her to reveal the truth.
