Mr. Grant Treats Me Like a Treasure-Chapter 388 - 387: Fell Into a Trap

"Hmph!"

Ruth Hale chuckled dismissively, "His family paid my parents a bride price, and we held a wedding banquet back home."

Back then, they lived in a rural area, where transportation to town was inconvenient. Plus, the family was busy, so they didn’t go to the civil affairs bureau to collect the certificate.

Shortly after Zoe was born, Joel Quinn went out to work.

Later, unable to stay idle at home, she took Zoe to work and found that mentioning she had a child caused many opportunities to slip away, so she kept her married status off her resume.

She never thought she would meet Claire Sullivan.

At that time, she was indeed very grateful for Claire Sullivan’s help.

When Joel Quinn suddenly lost his job, she thought of Claire Sullivan, hoping Claire would give Joel a bite to eat.

Before long, Joel became Claire Sullivan’s driver, and with Claire’s help, her career slowly picked up.

She thought soon their family could have a good life.

However, one day Joel told her they hadn’t registered their marriage, it didn’t count, and he wanted to marry Claire Sullivan.

Of course, she disagreed. How could her husband marry another woman?

It was from here that she began to hate Claire Sullivan.

After Joel made up his mind, she couldn’t persuade him, so she proposed two conditions: the first was that Joel must not ignore her.

Even if he married Claire Sullivan, he couldn’t neglect her; she would be the first wife, and Claire would be a concubine.

The second condition was to bring Zoe into The Sullivan Family.

The Sullivans were wealthy; if Zoe entered The Sullivan Residence, she’d have better educational opportunities and a greater chance of marrying a good man.

Things went as smoothly as they had planned, and their ambitions grew larger!

After hearing Ruth’s words, Claire Sullivan felt a chill in her heart. She was overwhelmed with matters of The Sullivan Corporation, and the emotional wound from that relationship was so deep, she couldn’t stand any news about it for years.

Joel Quinn’s appearance made her grab onto a lifeline.

This lifeline was disguised, gentle towards her, and very obedient.

She thought this was the start of her happy life!

Who knew, she was dealing with a wolf, a wolf that turned her daughter into what she is now.

"Claire Sullivan, you think Joel loves you so much? He loves me!"

Ruth cried out.

She fully spilled all the truths, intending to make Claire Sullivan sad. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Claire Sullivan was saddened not by Joel’s indifference but by her inability to judge character.

"You go back and tell Joel Quinn," Serena Sullivan said after hearing Ruth had said everything she needed to, in a calm voice, "about the divorce. If he doesn’t proceed, we’ll sue him for bigamy."

"What bigamy!"

Upon hearing those three words, Ruth Hale snapped awake, her tears stopped.

"What you just said is telling us Joel Quinn committed bigamy, isn’t it?"

Serena Sullivan asked sarcastically.

"I said it." Ruth repeated dumbfoundedly, then suddenly realized seeing the phone in Serena’s hand.

Serena was intentional; she was luring her to spill everything to help Claire Sullivan with the divorce.

Joel Quinn had said if Claire Sullivan didn’t offer him enough benefits, he wouldn’t divorce.

In her agitation, she said everything she shouldn’t, thanks to being provoked by Claire and Serena.

"What I said just now was all nonsense," Ruth immediately changed her tune, denying it.

"It’s okay; we also have your blood and their hair strands."

"As mentioned earlier, a comparison test will reveal the truth," Serena said with a faint smile, "but with your testimony, the chance to win this lawsuit is even greater."
