Rise of Mogul Son-in-Law: Ultimate Kevin Carson

CHAPTER 3

Kevin went to a nearby park to sit and clear his mind after everything that had happened. His heart felt very heavy, and he had no idea where to go next. Now that Ivy had divorced him, he knew he was basically homeless till he meet his grandpa.

“What will grandpa say now? Will he see me as a failure?” He grumbled against his chest.

He didn’t want to show any of his pain in front of Ivy earlier, because he felt she would only mock him if she saw him like that. The divorce wasn't the only thing that hurt him now but he also couldn't fulfill his promise to his grandpa.

“Well, it's really better than keepingashamelesseoman around him.” He reasoned. If he had shown his identity or took over the Group before Ivy betrayed him, he might have never known her true nature.

“I’m so frustrated right now,” he muttered angrily, dropping his hands from his chin.

Ivy had always been richer than him, coming from a wealthy family. Because of that, she often supported him before she reached her current position. Even before the divorce, she still took care of his needs, though sometimes she added hurtful remarks along with it.

He probably would have ignored those insults if she hadn’t asked for a divorce, because he truly loved her. Despite being poor, he had always cared for her deeply and had her best interests at heart. Yes, he was poor because he couldn't assess his grandpa's wealth unless he proved himself worthy.

“She will definitely regret this, I promise,” he cursed her for doing this to him. In his mind, he believed she would never find a loyal man like him again, even if she ended up with someone far richer.

Now optimism and despair fought within him. But slowly the hope was giving way to reality.

His grandpa might not accept him because he's no longer married, because he's got no child of my own. He may be seen as unwise for not detecting his wife's unfaithfulness in five years.

“If you can't detect such a common thing, then you can't rule my company.” His grandpa's voice rang in his head. Kevin knew how he talked. So strict. To him, rules are rules regardless of whatever happened.

He's got to cover up! But how?

As fear started creeping in, his phone suddenly rang. An unknown number appeared on the screen.

He almost ignored it, but when he noticed a small golden tick symbol beside the caller's profile, curiosity made him pick up. Golden ticks were for elites.

“Who could be calling me? Grandpa?” His heart skipped a beat because his grandpa has this same VVIP verification.

Kevin answered the call. “Hello?”

“Yes. Is it Kevin Carson?” a deep, commanding voice asked with clear authority.

“Yes, I am…” Kevin asked, earnestly curious.

“You are urgently needed at 83 May Lane. If you can get here within one or two hours, it would be greatly appreciated,” the voice said.

It was a woman speaking now, her tone sounded familiar, like someone he had heard on the TV before, but he couldn’t quite place it.

“You saved me three months ago. Remember the Lamborghini that crashed along Dave Carson Avenue, I and my bro were in it. Your co-driver urged you to leave us but you volunteered, you swam in to rescue us in the lagoon……”

His mind quickly went back.

He had done a lot of good things, swam across rivers and rescued drowning victims. So many were in luxury cars too and he did all without hoping for rewards. How could this one remember him?

“Well, I've helped a lot of people. I don't see anything special. My transit along a lonely expressway has placed me in the condition of helping. And that, I do gladly.”

“I've been searching for you for three months now until a woman posted you as a ‘woman beater’ online.”

“What?”

“Anyways, I just wanna meet you.” The woman said. “Come to the address I mentioned.” Then she cut the call.

Kevin quickly went online, searched Ivy's profile name and behold his face is trending everywhere.
