Chapter 78

作者: Little Happiness
I gripped my phone tighter. I thought that Timothy would finally let this matter go after my stomach hemorrhage the other day, but I clearly didn't understand him at all.

He had never been the type to leave any loose ends. How could he possibly let something slide when he had evidently noticed a loophole?

I forced myself to stay calm and asked, "Does he know that I went to see a lawyer about a divorce?"

"Probably not." Ruby said, "He hasn't considered divorce yet, but he did figure out that I went to the master bedroom that day to get a sample of Yasmin's hair."

I nodded. "Got it."

She said urgently, "You need to get out of there and go to your parents' place. I'm genuinely afraid of Timothy hurting you. The way he looked today was terrifying. It was as if he wanted to kill someone!"

I said in resignation, "There's no escaping him. Even if I go home to my parents, he'll find me. Besides, now that Grant Corporation's medical device launch date is delayed, he can pull the plug on m

  • Divorce Finally Made Him Break   Chapter 100

    Terence scoffed. "I've always said that you were ungrateful, but you keep denying it. If it hadn't been for him and me that night, you'd have been eaten alive! Now, you won't even thank him in person!""I don't even have the chance to meet him! Besides, isn't it weird for me to go out of my way just to say thank you?" I asked, growing tired of the conversation.He winked at me. "Mrs. Shore Senior is hosting a charity gala for all the big names in Seavale tonight. He's her grandson, so he'll definitely be there. Think about how he saved your life and decide for yourself."I sighed. "The Shore family didn't send me an invitation. Security won't let me in without an invitation for an event like this."Just then, Terence whipped out an invitation. "Well, I have one, and so does my mom! She doesn't want to go tonight, so you can use hers."No matter what I said to convince him, he refused to help me deliver the coat to Mr. Shore. In the end, I had no choice but to go with him to the Sh

    I rubbed my ears and said, "I shouldn't have waited outside for you. You're so noisy!"Instead of getting upset, Terence just laughed. "Stop pretending that you don't care. The way you acted today proves that you have feelings for me."I couldn't be bothered with his narcissistic ways. I asked for his address, hoping to quickly send him home to Gloria.To my surprise, he rattled off the address of my own apartment complex."Terence, there's no way that I'm letting you into my place!" I snapped, feeling annoyed. I was suddenly reminded of how he had pestered me nonstop during our school days. I could already feel a headache coming on.Terence rubbed his nose, asking seriously, "What do you mean? Did you buy the whole complex? If you can live there, why can't I?"I stared at him in disbelief.He explained, "The owner of the unit above yours is now me. From now on, we're upstairs and downstairs neighbors.""What?" My head spun.It wasn't until we got into the elevator that I real

    Timothy didn't leave, either. He sat in his car and waited there.Night quietly settled in, and the air was damp and cold. At some point, Timothy got out of the car. He draped his coat, which smelled faintly of ambergris, over my shoulders.I instinctively tried to take it off and return it, but he held my hands down."Are you that worried about him?" His voice carried an edge of irritation.I retorted, "It's the same as how you always worry about Yasmin. Of course I am!"He didn't say anything else. Instead, he pulled out a pack of cigarettes and stepped a little further away from me. The lighter flared blue, briefly illuminating his sharp profile. The light and shadows flickered in the darkness.After about half an hour, Grant Corporation's legal team finally arrived. Timothy also made some calls to his contacts in the police force, and Terence was soon released on bail.When he stepped out of the police station, he had his hands stuffed in his pockets, and he looked unfazed.

    I opened the car door to leave, but Timothy grabbed my wrist and yanked me back."Why won't you go to the hospital?" His gaze turned even more suspicious. "What if you've caught something? What then?"I laughed mockingly. "What does it matter to you if I catch something when our relationship is already in tatters? Do you think I'll infect you or something?""You're still being so stubborn!" Timothy's expression turned ugly. "I told you to stop making trouble and to just obediently be my wife. Now, look at you! Without me, and without the Grant family, you're just a lamb ready for slaughter!"All my grievances seemed to choke me at once. I met his frosty gaze and said, "But you were there last night. You were there, but was it any different from you being absent? I begged you to help me. Did you?"He paused, confused. "When did you ask me for help?"I felt even worse, and my voice broke. "Exactly. Yasmin was all you could see and think about. She had the slightest bit of pain in h

    I let out a cold laugh. "You didn't expect this, huh? You knew that this would ruin me the moment you accepted Yasmin's offer! I was wrong about you, Christine!"Just like that, I was taken away by the police.The fluorescent lights in the interrogation room were harsh and hot, and they shone right in my face. Even though I hadn't done anything wrong, it was still my first time being interrogated as a suspect. I would be lying if I said that I wasn't scared.The police asked me many questions, and I answered all of them honestly. However, they told me that my answers didn't match the accusations made by David, the alleged victim. Thus, they needed to investigate further.I started to get anxious and asked, "How long do I need to be here, then?"The police officer said briskly, "We've notified your husband. If he comes to bail you out, you should be able to leave today.""Timothy?" That name felt dead to me now. After all, he was never there when I needed him. They might as well h

    I sincerely thanked Mr. Shore. "Thank you so much for your help this time, Mr. Shore. And also for what you did at the construction site last time. I'm really grateful to you and your assistant."He simply replied, "You're welcome."Then, he turned to Terence and asked, "Are we heading to your place?""Yeah.""No!"Terence and I spoke at the same time.He gritted his teeth and asked, "Do you expect me to drive you all the way home in the middle of the night, Josie? If your husband sees you like this, he might think that we slept together!""Can you stop your nonsense?" I snapped. "I'm renting a place now. I'm not living with him anymore."Mr. Shore's sharp, perceptive gaze seemed to grow curious as he listened to my exchange with Terence. He probably hadn't expected Terence to be bold enough to hit on a married woman.I definitely didn't want to walk into the lion's den by going home with Terence. Fortunately, Mr. Shore was respectful enough to ask for my address. Then, he tol
