She Became Rich After Divorce by Georgina Lane

Chapter 490: Madam Thalia's True Colors During these four years, Sophie would call to check in and send gifts back home. Even so, Kai felt satisfied.

Now she heard that his father was not feeling well, and Sophie sought a secret remedy from a Jostranan doctor and sending the medicine to the Todd family.

In her letter, she mentioned that she had almost completed her studies and would return hsoon. She looked forward to reuniting with the family.

Sophie was around the sage as Erica, and they grew up together since childhood. They were so close that they slept in the sbed and wore one pair of pants.

After she went abroad for studies four years ago, Erica beclike a mother figure to her. Their sisterly bond broke apart because of this.

Even when Erica passed away, Sophie did not attend her funeral. Kai knew that she probably still harbored resentment towards Erica but didn't blher for not coming back. He wanted her to focus on completing her studies instead.

He thought Thalia had taken over the task of delivering his medicine but the more he took this medicine, the more he felt something was wrong with his body.

He secretly visited Layne two days ago, but Layne refused to see him after Cheyenne fell into the sea.

The attending physician at Hopedale Hospital told him there were signs of declining vision due to thinning retinas which could eventually lead to blindness. It wasn't an accidental event; preliminary judgment suggested it was caused by medication.

Kai immediately suspected Thalia's daily medication requests for himself.

When she brought medication again, he didn't take it but sent her away and wrapped it up in tissue paper. Then he gave it to Adrian, his trusted confidant for testing, without realizing Adrian had colluded with Thalia! That night after their intimate rendezvous, Adrian told Thalia that she's been exposed and suggested she swapped the supplements regularly consumed by Kai with "Misty Forest", the toxic pills.

The doctor advised Kai against taking such medication anymore as it could be life-threatening! After all these events unfolded one after another, Kai couldn't believe that someone who he loved dearly like Sophie wanted him dead! He continued investigating, only then discovering another shocking secret: Erica did not commit suicide; instead killed by his own son Davon! In Erica's belongings, he found a recording of her being forced by Davon and his mother to make a phone call betraying Iker.

They were also the ones who orchestrated the car accident three years ago.

But with so many years gone by, Erica and the driver involved in the incident have both passed away, rendering this recording useless in court. No evidence to prove anything.

Kai had been enduring his pain these past few days without taking any medication.

"I don't want to take any more medicine. Don't have Sophie send it anymore," Kai said as soon as Thalia entered the room.

As soon as he spoke, Thalia slammed her things on the table with an extremely loud noise that surprised him. She glared at him and asked, "What are you doing?" Thalia sneered and wiped off sdust from herself with a plain white handkerchief before acting arrogantly in front of him for the first tever.

"Not going to take it? This medicine is for your own good! You must take it! If you don't die now, how will my son inherit our family property?" she exclaimed angrily. "You!" Kai laughed out loud and clenched his fists before punching his pillow hard. He then questioned her coldly, "Well done! You finally showed your true colors!" "What family property? It has been divided up long ago! What Iker owns now is what he deserves plus sthat he earned himself while another part was brought over by Isabella Wood as dowry." "Have I not cleaned up enough messes for Davon privately over these past few years? If you're jealous of Iker's success, then blyourself for not having enough resources within your own Spence family or having too little dowry!" Kai retorted fiercely.

The Spence family was a military political aristocratic family that becwealthy later on but pursued luxury goods which led them into debt quickly.

Thalia had a capable father but her family background was much weaker than that of the Wood family; when she married into the Todd family, her father only allowed her to take two million as her dowry. Two million should have been considered quite substantial money.

However, she loved luxury goods, and after giving birth to Davon, she spent even more recklessly developing bad habits like gambling.

She lost almost all of her money and started to think about steal inheritance left behind by Kai's original wife. Kai, however, never took one penny from it but transferred it all under Iker's ninstead.

The property belonging to Davon and his son, as well as Erica's, was all earned by Kai himself. He divided his assets equally without showing preference.

Even so, it was still difficult to satisfy Thalia and Davon's greed.

After failing to plot against Iker once, Thalia even wanted to take his life and didn't spare Erica and the adorable twins.

How can he trust to hand the Todd family over to them? Thalia had been jealous of Isabella's family background since she was young. They were classmates. Isabella outshone Thalia in terms of appearance, academic performance, and family background. This stimulated her strong sense of competitiveness. After graduation, Isabella becthe talk of the town for her marriage with Kai, while Thalia could only train like a man in the army all day long.

So Thalia went to great lengths to seduce Kai and even used her father's influence to force him to marry her.

Only after getting married did she realize that she was not happy at all. She didn't love Kai.

She beca stepmother at a young age; Kai had to deal deal with the om challenges of a busy work schedule that kept him away from home.

After giving birth to Davon, he betrayed her by marrying Isabella's ve sister and having a daughter with her.

Thalia felt the urge to avenge, so she had been cheating on Kai and having affairs with many men behind his E back. What Kai never expected was that even her trusted Adrian was one of Thalia's lovers.

She knew exactly what Kai was thinking and doing.

She also knew that Kai and Erica didn't sleep together three years ago.

However, Thalia couldn't understand why Kai would admit it and even volunteered to marry Erica.

This was not his style.

Maybe she could use the twins to stimulate him.

"Someone, go and bring Lewis and Karina over here!" "Thalia, how dare you!" X
