You Had This Divorce Coming Chapter 244
Joanne came to her senses. "Take it away. Tell the shop we're refusing the delivery. Whoever bought it, send it back."In the living room, Lucille was sorting through the first-aid kit.Otto had taken some real hits. Bruises darkened the corner of his mouth and one eye, and shallow cuts lined his forearms where he had scraped against the ground.Lucille dipped a cotton swab in iodine and carefully treated each wound.Her touch was gentle, and guilt weighed heavily on her face. "I'm sorry, Otto. I dragged you into all of this. If I'd known Gideon would misunderstand everything, I never would have involved you."Otto smiled softly. "Lucy, you have to live your own life. Don't shape yourself around what other people think. That's a miserable way to live."Besides, no one could have predicted that we'd both end up at Riverrun. Zephyr and the investor. Some things are simply meant to happen. We should appreciate what we have instead of pushing it away."Lucille fell silent for a mome

Lucille's gaze was icy cold . Without a word, she took Otto's arm, walked inside, and shut the door behind them, leaving Gideon outside.Gideon stood frozen, his eyes fixed on their retreating figures as fury and disbelief churned inside him.How could this be right? He was Lucille's husband. He was the one with every legal claim. Yet he was the one left standing outside like a stranger while Otto walked freely into the Sandwell family's home.Despite the rage burning inside him, he forced himself to regain his composure in front of Joanne and quietly followed after her."Mother." He lowered his gaze, letting years of habit carry the word from his lips.Joanne looked at him without the slightest trace of warmth. Only disgust filled her eyes.She neither invited him inside nor met his gaze directly.Standing one step above him, she looked down at the man who was about to become her former son-in-law. "Don't call me that. It makes me sick."Gideon went rigid. He looked up, unable

Gideon let out a contemptuous smile. "And I'll tell you this plainly. Lucille is mine. So is my daughter. If anyone is going to send her a castle, it'll be me. Not you."'Asked to look out for her?' That's just a cover story. Otto, I finally understand why you were so desperate to divorce Rayne. You wanted a clear path to Lucille. Go ahead and deny it."Otto glanced at the profile picture attached to the video and recognized it instantly. The sight hit him like acid.Everything he had been forcing down—the anger, the humiliation of being misunderstood, and the crushing weight of discovering Lily might not be his while enduring the divorce—erupted all at once.Seeing Gideon's self-righteous expression only pushed him over the edge. He was done arguing.His fist shot forward. One punch, then another, each one carrying every ounce of his fury.Gideon absorbed the first blows, then stopped holding back. He hit back just as hard.The two of them fought without restraint right in fron

The rest of the sentence died in his throat.Lucille spun around. Her eyes were blood-red, rimmed with icy fury, as though she might tear him apart the next second.Gideon's body went rigid. Every denial lodged in his chest. All he could manage was a bitter, helpless smile.Lucille stared at him, her voice trembling with rage. "What did you just say?"Gideon had barely opened his mouth when she grabbed him by the collar. "Are you questioning Lily's parentage?"A cold laugh escaped her lips. "Gideon, is that what this is? Your cousin is filthy, her character is rotten, and you assume I'm the same kind of woman?"She fought back the sting behind her eyes. Those wounds had long since scabbed over. He had ripped them open again, leaving them raw and bleeding. This was the most vicious insult a woman could endure. It was the cruelest attack on her dignity.How little he must think of her. How little he truly knew her to say something like that to her face."I didn't mean it like tha

Something tender crossed Lucille's face without warning. She stepped forward and gathered Lily into her arms.Joanne noticed the pile of bags Lucille had brought inside and frowned. "She's still a baby. Why are you buying so much? Money doesn't grow on trees. Don't waste it."Lucille smiled. "I didn't buy any of it. Otto said Lily's three-month milestone is coming up, and he and my brother wanted to send gifts together. Everything here is from them."They also ordered a large play castle. It should be delivered soon."Joanne's expression softened. "The Westbrook boy is just as he was when he was little, thoughtful and gentle. Your brother would never think of something like this on his own. He needs someone to remind him."Lucille lowered her head and played with Lily's tiny hand. "He really is considerate. My brother is too. If my brother vouches for a friend, you know that person is worth trusting."Before she could finish speaking, her phone rang. It was the delivery company.

Rayne and Michelle relentlessly whipped the group into a frenzy. Elaine and Wendy quickly joined in. Yet the person at the center of it all remained silent from beginning to end.When they finally realized Gideon still wasn't going to act, the group chat gradually fell quiet.Michelle was livid. She dragged Rayne to a coffee shop, ordered the largest iced latte on the menu, and drank it in long, forceful gulps, trying to cool the anger burning inside her.Rayne's eyes narrowed thoughtfully. "Michelle, we've tried everything, and Giddy still protects them. At this point, I think we have to take the risk."We need to get a DNA sample from the child and run the test ourselves. If we have hard proof that the girl belongs to someone else, Lucille and Otto are finished."Michelle straightened immediately. "You're right. Why didn't I think of that?"Rayne nodded, a hard glint settling in her eyes. "She's getting closer and closer to Otto. He's making her famous, buying her cars, and giv

Gideon heard her laugh, and there was no warmth in it.Lucille yanked her wrist free. "Gideon, you don't have to hold anything back. Come at me. Use every card you've got."You want a fight? Fine. I've made my decision, and I'm not scared. Bring it. Whatever you've got, throw it at me."The light

Lucille would give up every comfort, vanity, and shred of dignity without hesitation for Lily. She could be unkempt, exhausted, hollowed out, and unglamorous. None of that mattered compared with her daughter's well-being. None of it came close.By now, Lucille worked the breast pump with the automa

Elaine was Lily's grandmother by blood. Yet Lucille could find nothing in her face, not a flicker of feeling for the child, only cold calculation.For five years in the Prescott household, every cent Lucille spent had come from her own pocket. Gideon had given her a card after the wedding, but Elai
