Became A Queen After divorce

Sam received the message, but he chose to ignore it. Letting them fight each other would only benefit him.

Despite his inner thoughts, Sam maintained his outward composure. He feigned guilt and apologized to Declan, “I’m sorry, Dad. I’ve been busy with the wedding preparations, and Monkey and Brody were overseeing things. Who knew it would turn out like this?”

“Sigh.”

Even with so many people in Gilliam Mansion, everyone was busy.

“Blaming you now won’t help. Let’s see what this rebellious daughter plans to do!”

Natalia watched the three people on the high platform with a smug smile on her cold and alluring face.

“It seems my godfather has strong objections to me taking over the family. No matter… once I kill Pearl, everything will return to the beginning.”

“And you, the useless former General, have been eliminated! Those who once followed you now serve me!”

“I advise you all to cooperate. If you anger me, this place will become a battlefield!”

Declan thought to himself, no wonder she chose this moment to break in; she was jealous of Pearl.

The atmosphere was tense, and everyone was intimidated by Libby’s presence, as if heads would roll at any moment.

The crowd murmured, mostly about Declan.

“Who would have thought the renowned philanthropist and entrepreneur Mr. Gilliam is actually the notorious head of the Gilliam family?”

“Indeed, I didn’t expect it either. No wonder Mr. Gilliam wanted me to retract that headline news last time…”

“Gilliam family has done so many evil deeds over the years. Declan is a hypocrite, and now his daughter’s betrayal is his karma!”

Hearing the crowd insult her father, Pearl was anxious but didn’t know what to do.

“Daddy, what should we do now?”

She instinctively looked at her father, who stood there calmly and explained:

“Everyone, don’t believe Libby’s lies. I raised her for over twenty years. Her jealousy was triggered when my biological daughter returned.”

“She made a mistake recently and I disciplined her. I also arranged her marriage to Crete Lord Parker. She hates me and fabricated these lies to ruin my reputation.”

The crowd seemed to accept Declan’s explanation somewhat. After all, he was annually recognized as a great philanthropist in Taswya.

At that moment, a sweet and soft voice came from behind the crowd. It sounded childish and innocent.

“He’s lying! He’s the bad man who took me!”

Turning around, they saw two children. The boy looked about seven or eight years old, covered in blood but with determined eyes. The girl he held was pretty and adorable, dressed in a pink princess dress.

Following them was a Chulae man in a servant’s uniform from Gilliam Mansion. His handsome face wasn’t hidden by the cheap clothes. It was Master Glenn.

As soon as Glenn entered the wedding venue, he nodded at Kelvin as a greeting. His next words shocked everyone.

“I can prove Esteban is telling the truth. I came to Chulae looking for my daughter and infiltrated Gilliam Mansion.”

“What I saw was the most disgusting and vile trade in the world!”

“And it was all orchestrated by the Gilliam family. There are witnesses and evidence. The rest will be for the judge to decide.”

As he finished speaking, Kelvin led a group of police officers who had surrounded the area unnoticed.

“Don’t move!”

The situation reversed again.

Libby thought she had succeeded in seizing power and aimed her weapon at Declan. Little did she know she had become a trapped bird herself, now falling into the law’s net.

Her original plan was to kill everyone present!

“Damn it, I was tricked by those Chulae couples.”

With Taswya’s help, today’s police were all in plain clothes, blending in as guests or staff, ready to act on Kelvin’s signal.

An hour earlier…

Following Sam’s map, Master Glenn quickly found Declan’s secret “research base.” What he saw upon entering filled him with rage.

With Eddie’s cooperation and support from Duke Peberdy of Taswya, they successfully destroyed Declan’s hideout and caught him red-handed.

A third of the children were from Chulae; others were missing children from around the world.

Though Duke Peberdy was a scoundrel in love affairs, he was serious about his work. Seeing so many young children from his country harmed, he furiously declared he would behead Declan publicly.

After persuasion from Glenn and Eddie, he agreed to take the surviving children to the hospital first.

Glenn finally reunited with his precious daughter. Though it should have been a joyous occasion, his daughter insisted on bringing along a dirty little beggar boy; otherwise, she wouldn’t leave with him.

Helplessly, he agreed.

He hurried back to the wedding venue with the two children, fearing for Kelvin and Cheyenne’s safety.

With their crimes exposed, the Gilliam family’s reputation was ruined. Declan faced betrayal from his adopted daughter and imminent arrest.

Unwilling to surrender easily, Declan quickly devised a plan in his mind. Even if it cost him his life, he wanted to pave a way for the younger generation.

“Sam, I’ll kill Libby. You take Pearl and your mother-in-law and leave!”

“Alright! I’ll act now.” Sam replied with a half-smile.

As Declan handed him the dagger, Sam unexpectedly stabbed him in the abdomen.

The sound of the knife tearing through flesh was dull and prolonged.

Declan looked at him in disbelief. The face he knew so well showed no smile for the first time-only hatred!

So this was Sam’s true nature.

Warm blood splattered onto Sam’s pale face. His charming eyes were now devoid of warmth.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Sam slowly withdrew the dagger, letting blood pool on the ground.

“Surprised? Mr. Gilliam, Dad, Father-in-law…”

“You!”

“Daddy!”

Pearl couldn’t believe that the man she loved most had killed her father. But life had more blows in store for her.
