Chapter 224

ผู้เขียน: Little Happiness
I practically grabbed onto the chance like a lifebuoy. Afraid that Isaac would change his mind, I hurried to pull open the passenger door and jumped in.

The car was silent, save for the gentle whisper of air from the vents. He slowly started the engine and asked, "Where are we going?"

I definitely didn't want to go back to the hospital. If Timothy didn't care whether I lived or died, why should I go running back at night to take care of him?

Hence, I gave Isaac the address of the neighborhood where I was currently staying.

The car moved steadily down the road.

After hesitating a long while, I finally spoke. "About what I mentioned before… Can you reconsider helping me with my daughter's paternity test?"

Isaac's hand on the wheel didn't move. His long fingers were defined and pale under the faint dashboard light. After a few seconds, he said flatly, "I've already refused. I don't want to say it twice."

I sighed quietly and shut my mouth.

The entire ride continued in silence. Whe

  • Divorce Finally Made Him Break   Chapter 237

    Two days later, I was shopping with Ruby, and we happened to run into Yasmin buying a bag at a luxury boutique.It was a limited-edition design from that brand. There were only three nationwide, and each cost well over a million dollars. Even for a family like the Slaters, Ruby had to think twice about getting one.She admired the cream-colored bag again and again, but still didn't commit to buying it.Ever since Timothy sued Little Lights Kindergarten, the school had been drowning in negative press. Many parents had already pulled their kids out. After all, the parents belonged to the same social circle, and the Grants had always been trendsetters in Seavale.Once Timothy refused to let his own child attend the Slater family's kindergarten, everyone else took the hint. One after another, parents transferred their children elsewhere, and investors quickly cut ties with them as well.As a result, the Slaters' finances weren't what they used to be anymore.Ruby practically drooled

    Timothy finished speaking and leaned in with a force that didn't allow any refusal. I turned my head instinctively, but his lips brushed past my ear and landed coldly on my neck, full of anger."Let go of me!" I yelled as I pushed against his chest, my nails digging so hard into the fabric that I nearly tore through it.However, he didn't budge. Instead, his grip on the back of my neck only tightened. His breath hit my skin, sending an involuntary shiver through me.I let out a bitter laugh. "You deserved to be played by Jonathan. You can't even tell who your real enemy is, yet you still have the nerve to come at me like this?"Timothy abruptly released me, fury surging in his eyes. "What did you just say?""I called you stupid!"I stared straight into his eyes, my voice trembling with anger. "Your ward wasn't some restricted vault that only I could enter. Yasmin was there, constantly. Don't you know that? If I were you, I'd take a good look at what's been going on between her an

    I stared at Jonathan sternly. "Timothy isn't someone who lets others walk all over him. He'll soon figure out the truth behind this bid. When that happens, I hope Yasmin doesn't throw you under the bus."Jonathan sneered confidently. "I'll take responsibility for my actions. It has nothing to do with anyone else. Just because someone is better than you and you can't control your husband doesn't mean you should slander them."I shook my head in disbelief. I didn't know how, but Yasmin must have thoroughly brainwashed him.The celebration continued under the bright crystal lights as guests toasted one another. Meanwhile, I stood alone in the quietest corner, completely detached.That was how Jonathan had won the bid.Everyone in the room was celebrating a stolen victory, and the thief was proudly basking in the applause.It was ridiculous.I set my drink down and decided to leave. I refused to stay another minute in this hypocritical scene.Just as I put on my coat and stepped ou

    I frowned as Timothy began striding toward us.The smiles on my parents' faces froze, and a flicker of panic crossed their expressions. I instinctively straightened my posture, unsure of what he wanted.Jonathan quickly came over, stood beside me, and lowered his voice as he said, "Timothy, you've just recovered and can't drink. That's why I didn't invite you. But now that you're here, let's enjoy the night together."Timothy's gaze was frosty. He glanced at me, then at Jonathan. "How did you know I was hospitalized?"He thought that I had told them, but the truth was, I hadn't said a single word about it to my family. I figured that Jonathan must still be in contact with Yasmin. That was the only way he'd know.Unexpectedly, Jonathan patted my shoulder and said, "Josie took care of you in the hospital for a long time. Why wouldn't we know? Besides, we owe this successful bid partly to her."The air instantly froze.I looked at him, stunned. "What does this have to do with me? I

    At that moment, the only reason I was willing to see Timothy was to finalize the divorce. Other than that, I truly felt there was no need to meet him again, nor did I want to.So I asked, "Is Timothy going?"At the mention of his name, Mom suddenly sounded hesitant. "We... didn't invite Timothy. Don't tell him about this. Just come by yourself."That surprised me a little. Considering how satisfied my parents always were with Timothy and how much he had helped York Group's business, inviting him would typically be the obvious choice.But since it was confirmed that he wasn't going, I agreed. "Alright, Mom. I'll be there tonight."…By the time evening arrived, I picked a simple evening gown and drove to the York residence. The driveway was already filled with parked cars. I felt genuinely happy for my family. It had been far too long since the Yorks had been this lively and respected.Jonathan emerged from the mansion in a custom-tailored suit, looking bold and confident. "You f

    Grace shook her head. "There used to be surveillance in Ms. Beech's room. Later, she said she didn't like being monitored and even refused to eat in protest. Mr. Grant then ordered the cameras removed, so we don't know exactly what happened in that room that day."I asked, "Didn't she suffer from a mental illness? But from what you described, she seemed pretty lucid.""Ms. Beech's condition was unstable. We got used to that," Grace said.Thinking of the earring, I probed, "Were all her belongings sorted out?"Grace nodded. "Yes, everything was sorted and handed over to her family. She had a younger sister, a famous star back in Chrymea. Her sister kept all of her belongings because she didn't want Mr. Grant to be reminded of anything painful."I immediately asked, "Did her sister ever mention if anything was missing?""No." Grace spoke very firmly. "We had her go through them one by one. She never said anything was missing.""Could I take a look at the inventory list?" I asked
