Chapter 1402

“Exactly! So tell your sister to move on. I never loved her. If I did, why would I marry someone else?”

Lowell’s lips parted, but no words came. Finally, he managed, “But your wife…?”

Before he could finish, the bodyguard placed a firm hand on Lowell’s shoulder. “Sir, don’t,” the bodyguard warned quietly.

Lowell looked at him, sensing the unspoken tension. Shaun frowned, clearly annoyed. “What about my wife? Do you know where she is? Can you get her to visit me? I’ve been stuck here all this time, and she hasn’t even come to see me!”
