Ever since divorcing Susan Langley, Warren Grant's life had taken a nosedive.
In the past, with Susan Langley subsidizing him, he lived quite comfortably, even though he was a wastrel disliked by Master Grant. A little gambling now and then or a woman on each arm was never an issue.
Besides, his last name was Grant and he had an incredibly wealthy son, so no matter how much people looked down on him, they still showed him a sliver of respect.
But after the divorce, he lost his source of income. Master Grant publicly disowned him, and both his reputation and his money slowly slipped away.
Warren Grant couldn't stand a life of hardship. He'd tried to get money from Meredith Rowan, but who was The Mistress Mother? Did he really think she'd give him any?
Meredith Rowan was a master of playing the victim. With a few tears and some wailing, she put on a show about having to raise money for love, instantly taming the old money-gobbling beast.
