Chapter 397
Chapter 397:
Milton stood dumbfounded, absorbing their conversation. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing. Greyson and Candice had divorced? And who intended to harm Candice?
In haste, he intercepted one of the women. “What did you just say? Please, repeat it.”
Upon seeing Milton’s striking features, the woman stuttered, her words caught in her throat. “Just now…”
The other lady quickly filled in, “At the ambassador’s wife’s birthday party, everyone overheard Greyson’s stepmother and cousin plotting through the sound system. They wanted to push Greyson’s ex-wife down the stairs, causing her to miscarry. Their scheme failed, and they were exposed. The police have taken them into custody.”
Frantic, Milton inquired, “Did anyone get hurt?”
One lady shook her head. “No. I didn’t see Greyson’s ex-wife, and she wasn’t hurt.”
The other woman recognized him and cautiously asked, “Are you Mr. Lopez?”
Milton’s tall stature and striking handsomeness made him appear nearly flawless in her eyes.
Milton’s mind was in disarray.
He asked, “Why did you say Greyson divorced the day after their wedding?”
Distracted by Milton’s good looks, the lady eagerly replied, “His cousin accidentally spilled the beans during their conversation. The Harman family, fearing disgrace, hid the divorce. Rumor has it, Greyson divorced right after the scandal on their wedding night. His ex-wife is truly unfortunate to have been part of such a family. Even after the divorce, they still sought to harm her.”
“Thank you.” Milton entered the elevator, nodding slightly.
“You’re welcome!” The two ladies waved and smiled as the elevator doors closed.
Milton realized something unexpected had transpired that night.
His priority now was to find Candice as quickly as possible!

As Milton took his leave, the two women could hardly contain their excitement. Clasping hands, they jumped up and down, their voices shrill with glee. “Oh my God, that man was Mr. Lopez! He’s so much more handsome in person than in magazines! I can’t spot a single blemish on him!” one of them exclaimed.
“Is it even possible for a man to be this perfect? He looked me in the eye a few times. Can you believe it? Oh, gosh. I feel like I’m dreaming!”
“He actually expressed gratitude to me!”
“If I could be his girlfriend for even one night, I’d be so damn happy.”
“But it’s quite puzzling, don’t you think? Why is Mr. Lopez interested in things about Greyson?”
“Perhaps his interest lies in Greyson’s ex-wife.”
“Ah, that makes sense! There were rumors about Mr. Lopez having a dalliance with a married woman. The news was wiped clean, but rumors abound. Could it be that the woman was Greyson’s ex-wife?”
