Chapter 1028
“Only when I track down the scumbag who killed my mom and see him behind bars, then can my mom’s soul rest
in peace” Paige held Baillie’s hand tightly, “And until then, nobody is allow to touch my mom!”
“Paige, I’m her husband… Grant looked at Paige
His gaze was starting to challenge her.
“Well, good luck trying to take Ms. Peyton away without my wife’s consent, Baillie calmly stated.
He was so assertive, it made Grant and his sons unconsciously furrow their eyebrows.
“Grant, I’m not one of your dumb puppets. Your ex–wife died under mysterious circumstances, you didn’t get an
autopsy, and you’re trying to explain it all away with suicide? That shit won’t fly with me!”

“No.” Baillie spoke, his tone brooking no argument.
Paige didn’t object.
“Baillie, can you stay out of this? We’re here to handle family matters! Logan snapped angrily. He was furious, Who
did Baillie think he was to speak for Paige? Who did he think he was?
“I’m afraid what I have to say to her, Paige wouldn’t want you to hear,” Grant responded, his tone cooling down
while his face maintained a fake smile.
Logan was taken aback, looking at Grant in shock. He had a hunch about what Grant wanted to say.
“Dad! Drop it!” Logan scolded, reaching out to grab Grant’s arm. “Let’s go back and organize Auntie Peyton’s
belongings… Let’s go!”
Grant merely glanced at Paige without resisting. He followed Logan, who seemed eager to leave, out of the room.
The hallway quickly returned to its previous state of silence.
Paige slumped back into her chair, feeling defeated. She knew Ellory was right. If she had seen the news that day
and chosen to contact Peyton, perhaps she wouldn’t have died.
In the car park, Grant and his two sons made their way silently, Logan stopped abruptly.
He glanced at his two brothers, “You guys go ahead, dad and I need to talk.”
“Bro, you’re not actually buying that traitor’s words and suspecting that mom’s death was dad’s doing, are you?”
Ellory asked, his eyebrows furrowed.
“If I tell you to go, then go. Why so many questions?” Logan snapped impatiently.
Ellory huffed and walked away.

Logan looked at Grant, “What were you going to say to Paige?”
“What do you think?” Grant looked at Logan coldly, “Logan, she’s moved on. Look at her and that Baillie, holding
hands so tightly the
entire time.”
“Shut up!” Logan’s breath grew ragged, “Did you have anything to do with Ms. Peyton’s death? Why are you in such
a hurry to have the funeral? And even threatening her with my relationship with Paige!”
“I just want to get one annoying matter over with.” Grant said impatiently, “Peyton was such a nuisance, acting like
a madwoman these past two months. She forced me to seek comfort with other women. But in the end, she played
the victim! Did you know, on the day she died, she brought someone to cause trouble for me again, even got her
mother’s side of the family to con me out of five million!”
Logan furrowed his brows.
Grant continued, “I really can’t stand her, I just want to erase everything related to her as soon as possible!”
