Chapter 569 You Must Get My Consent to Divorce Kelvin's tone was laid-back, "Really? How cI didn't know The King Manor was in trouble?" As he spoke, he shot a casual glance at the butler.
The butler dropped his head, avoiding eye contact.
Who could handle Kelvin's intense stare? It was like a death glare! Liam had barely started talking, and Kelvin already knew who had tipped him off! Liam was chilling at the old Davis family estate, living the good life. His biggest dream was to hold a great- grandchild, and that was already checked off, so he had no worries. Liam didn't sweat the small stuff.
"Cut the act," Liam snorted, pointing at Kelvin, "You." Then, he shifted his finger to Penelope, "And you!" Penelope looked totally lost.
She always thought she could stay out of it because she had no clue what Liam and Kelvin were talking about.
She figured it had nothing to do with her. But Liam called her out? "What did I do?" Penelope asked, confused. "Mr. Davis, I haven't done anything to offend you, have I?" Why was Liam scolding her? "Yes, you, you and Kelvin!" Liam said.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"What about us?" Penelope said.
Liam asked sharply, "Where are you two going later? What are you planning to do?" Penelope was startled and finally got what Liam meant by saying the Davis family was in trouble.
He was talking about her and Kelvin's divorce! But how did Liam know? Penelope looked at Kelvin, surprised.
Kelvin pursed his lips.
Next to him, the butler lowered his head even more.
"Speak up! What's the matter, cat got your tongue? Can't even talk about your own plans?" Liam said.
Penelope wanted to spill the truth but worried it might be too harsh for the old man. What if Liam got so worked up that his blood pressure spiked, and he fell ill? Penelope quietly tugged on Kelvin's sleeve, "Did you tell Grandpa about our divorce?" "No. If I had, why would he still be pointing at me?" Kelvin said.
"Then how does he know?" Penelope said.
Kelvin said calmly, "Someone in the King Manor tipped him off." "So what do we do now?" Penelope asked, "Think of something." What could Kelvin do? He didn't expect Liam to show up at this time.
If it were anyone else, he wouldn't care and would have the bodyguards stop or drag them away.

"You two, stop scheming over there," Liam shouted, banging his cane, "Since you won't answer, I'll answer for you!" He walked up to Kelvin and Penelope, "Divorce is such a big deal, and you two want to handle it secretly? Without informing anyone? Without discussing it? Is the Davis family just the two of you? Do you think I'm dead?!" "Grandpa," Kelvin said very calmly, "Divorce is between Penelope and me. We've decided and agreed, and that's enough." After a few seconds of silence, he added, "I respect you very much, Grandpa. As long as you're alive, all matters of the Davis family need to be reported to you and decided by you." "How is divorce just between you and Penelope?" Liam shot back, "She married into the Davis family; she's my granddaughter-in-law. Everything she does reflects on us! And I'm part of this family. Your divorce needs my approval!" Liam was getting more and more worked up.
Penelope stayed quiet.
This was Kelvin's grandpa, so she figured she'd let him handle it.
Kelvin's voice stretched out, "So, Grandpa, do you agree to our divorce?" Penelope, hearing this, panicked and tugged on his sleeve again. How could he ask that? Liam would definitely disagree! Otherwise, why would he rush to the King Manor? "Of course not!" Liam fumed. "You've been through so much! The wrongful accusation about the father's death has been cleared, you survived four years apart, and Lucy is a beautiful, well-behaved little girl... and now you want to get a divorce? That's just crazy!" In Liam's view, having gone through so many hardships and trials and coming this far, the days ahead should be happy. Why would they still want to part ways? It didn't make sense! "Grandpa," Kelvin smirked, "Maybe marriage can withstand trials and tribulations, but it can't withstand the monotony and boredom of everyday life?"

Have you fallen in love with someone else, had an affair, or betrayed Penelope?" With that, Liam raised his cane high, "Kelvin, if you dare to keep a woman outside, I'll beat you to death today!" Kelvin stayed silent, neither admitting nor denying.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSo, Liam assumed he had tacitly agreed. "What? Do you really have a woman outside? I'll beat you to death!" Liam's cane was about to cdown!
Penelope quickly shouted, "No! No, Mr. Davis, Kelvin hasn't kept a m woman outside, nor has he done anything to betray me!" The cane stopped abruptly in mid-air. "Really? Then why did he say marriage is boring?" How could Penelope know what Kelvin was thinking? "He just said it casually; you misunderstood him." Kelvin's smirk deepened, "Grandpa, why do you assI'm the only one who finds this marriage boring?" "Of course, it's only you. Do you think Penelope would find any man better than you?" Liam said.
Indeed, in the eyes of the world, Kelvin embodied all the qualities of an ideal man.
