Chapter 345: Crimes (2)

"There is nothing I can tell you about Melanie besides the fact she is no longer a Barrett. The court granted my husband a divorce after she ran away leaving him to raise their child alone. It was not easy for Desmond," Katrina replied.

"I was not in court during that time but I have learned the only reason the court declared Desmond as divorced was that he begged and eventually paid off someone. Melanie was never present as required for a divorce to be official. I am not fond of the mistakes the court made in the past. Do you know where she ran off to?" Mark asked, not fully believing Melanie ran away never to be heard from again.

He had no idea what Melanie experienced during her few years with Desmond but to never return to check on her daughter was suspicious. Unless she didn't care for her daughter.
