Wife Billionaire 17

Chapter 17
At the Leonard family mansion in the evening, Kane quietly finished his dinner while Dawn fumed over her encounter with June at Lakeside Villa. The more she dwelt on it, the angrier she got.
“Kane! I ran into June today, and d***n, she’s gotten so brazen.” Dawn seethed. “Good riddance you got rid of her when you did. God knows how she would’ve dragged your name. through the mud!” Her voice was a mix of frustration and disdain. “That little vixen must have h**ed someone new! Now she’s shacked up in Villa No. 8 at Lakeside Villa. How the hell does someone of her lowly ilk think she deserves such a swanky spot?” With each word, her tone became sharper, more biting.
Kane, half-listening, his attention s***ed at the mention of June residing in Villa No. 8. His grip tightened on his fork, his brow furrowing deeply.
“Mom, did you actually see June going into Villa No. 8?” he asked, trying to keep his tone
even.
“Of course, I saw her! Why the hell would I mention it otherwise? That bi**h…” Dawn rattled on, but Kane’s thoughts had already drifted, piecing together this new snippet with something Jocelyn had mentioned earlier that day.
Kane couldn’t help but wonder if June would really stoop to dishonorable acts for money. ‘But why should I care? We’re divorced,’ he reminded himself, trying to dismiss the unsettling feeling knotting in his chest and robbing him of his appetite.
Noticing Kane’s silence, Dawn frowned. “Kane, are you even listening to me?”
Maintaining his composure, Kane replied softly, “Yes, I am.”
Just as Dawn was about to continue, Kane’s phone broke the tension with its ring. It was a call from the hospital.
“Hello, Dr. Glasford? What’s going on?” Kane’s voice was tense as he picked up.
Dawn quieted down, leaning in to catch bits of the conversation.
“Mr. Leonard, I’m afraid your grandmother’s condition has taken a turn for the worse. Her vital functions are deteriorating rapidly. We need Dr. Brynn Woody here as soon as possible, or we might have to start preparing for the worst.” Jason Glasford’s urgent tone came through the phone.
I understand, Kane replied solemnly.

Hearing this, Dawn grabbed Kane’s arm, pulling him toward the door. “June was the one who brought Dr. Woody here before. She’s the only one who has his contact info. We need to find her now. Your grandmother was so good to her; she has to help.”
Reluctant to involve June further, but compelled by the situation’s urgency, Kane reluctantly agreed. At worst, I can offer her more money. Given her circumstances, she won’t refuse, he reasoned.
Half an hour later, Kane and Dawn stood at the front door of Villa No. 8 at Lakeview,
Dawn aggressively rang the doorbell. “June, come out! Get your a** out here!”
The persistent ringing irritated June. She checked the surveillance footage on her tablet and saw Dawn accompanied by Kane. A cold smile crossed her face.
“Great, not enough to just rail at me earlier, she had to drag Kane into this too.” June scoffed, curious about their desperate visit.
June shrugged on a coat and opened the door. Seeing Dawn and Kane standing there, she couldn’t help but smirk mockingly. “What is it now? Not content with cursing me out earlier, you had to bring your son along, too? Do you still think I’m the same person you can bully as you please?” she said, her tone dripping with sarcasm.
