Chapter 374

Penulis: Deer Woods
Gideon said coldly, "Stay away from my wife."

"You've lost it!" Otto and Lucille snapped at him in almost the same breath.

Lucille shot Gideon a cold look, then glanced at Rayne on the ground. "Gideon, save your energy for your cousin. I don't need you playing the gentleman for me."

The memory of how decisively he had chosen Rayne when forced to pick between them turned her stomach.

"Are you all right? Are you hurt? Should we get you to a hospital?" Otto asked, his voice full of concern.

  • You Had This Divorce Coming   Chapter 570

    "What my mother just did was wrong. I apologize to you and Lily on her behalf. Will you forgive her?"With that, Gideon bowed sincerely to Lucille in front of everyone.In his heart, his mother would always be family, while Lily would forever remain nothing more than an outsider, someone whose fate barely registered with him.The moment something went wrong, his first instinct had not been to worry about Lily's safety or condemn what Elaine had done. Instead, he had feared that his mother might face consequences for her actions and rushed to shoulder the blame, apologizing on her behalf.His reaction did not surprise Lucille in the slightest. She slowly lifted her eyes and regarded Gideon with unmistakable scorn. "So, Gideon, in your heart, your mother, your entire family, will always matter more than Lily's life. Is that right?"Gideon froze for a moment. "That's not what I meant. It's just that Lily's safe now. No real harm was done, and I only hoped you could forg—"Before Luc

  • You Had This Divorce Coming   Chapter 569

    "Lucille, I... I was careless for a moment. I didn't mean to do it. Please forgive me. I'm begging you, forgive me... I really don't want to go back in there..." Elaine pleaded desperately from the ground, her face etched with sheer terror.The word "murder," uttered by the bystander moments ago, had wiped her mind completely blank. She had no idea what had possessed her or how she had lost control so completely that she could do something so unthinkable.Now, regret twisted her insides so sharply that she felt sick.Lucille remained where she was and looked coldly down at Elaine as she groveled at her feet. Even now, Lucille was shaken to her core.If Otto hadn't thrown himself into traffic without a second thought and caught the stroller just in time, the outcome did not bear thinking about.And yet the woman before her had been so vicious that she was willing to do something so brutal to her own granddaughter.What kind of cruelty was that? What kind of malice?Before Lucille

    Otto drew a deep breath, managing to ease the pain in his side, then forced out a faint smile. "That car's side mirror caught me in the ribs. It hurts, but it's nothing serious."At that, Milena lifted the hem of his shirt without hesitation. The sight of the bruising already darkening across his side sent panic surging through her.She helped him to the side of the road and frantically pulled out her phone. "That's already bruising, and you're calling it nothing serious? I'm calling an ambulance right now. Mom's not taking any chances!"Otto stopped her, his voice gentle. "Mom, it's a minor injury. I'm fine. Let's deal with the real problem first."With that, he turned a cold gaze on Elaine and the others. Pressing a hand to his side, he took a few steps forward. "If I saw correctly, you deliberately shoved that stroller into the middle of the road just now, didn't you?"When it happened, Otto had been roughly 50 yards away. With so many bystanders crowding around, he hadn't seen

    The sudden turn of events left everyone at the scene utterly stunned.Lucille staggered from the force of the shove, her hand instinctively releasing the stroller handle. The moment she saw the stroller careening out of control toward the traffic, a deafening roar filled her mind.Almost simultaneously, Lucille, Joanne, Milena, and Nancy cried out, "Lily!"They all lunged for the stroller, but Elaine's shove had sent it rolling too fast. Caught off guard, every one of them was a beat too slow.As the stroller hurtled toward the stream of traffic, Lucille's head spun with vertigo. Without thinking, she threw herself forward and raced after it.At that exact moment, two tall figures came charging in from opposite directions.They were Gideon and Otto. Both had just parked their cars and were heading toward the restaurant entrance when they spotted the terrifying scene unfolding before them.Hearing everyone's cries and realizing Lily was inside the stroller, they broke into a dead

    By now, passersby outside the restaurant had noticed the commotion and gathered to watch.Before Elaine could finish speaking, Lucille stepped forward and fixed her with such a sharp glare that Elaine instinctively recoiled."Ms. Greenfeld, I understand that a mother would sympathize with her daughter and niece, but I will not tolerate you throwing baseless accusations at me without a shred of proof."Rayne and Michelle ended up in that detention center because they threw a private party and openly used drugs. What does any of that have to do with me? Was I the one holding them down and forcing them to snort drugs?"This has already made headlines across Coasthaven. Everyone in the city knows about it, and countless photos from the scene have circulated online. Tell me, exactly which eye of yours saw me anywhere near that party?"And one more thing. You claim the two of them were abused inside the detention center, so you simply assume I orchestrated it? Do you have any idea how m

  • You Had This Divorce Coming   Chapter 565

    The world worked in strange ways sometimes, seeming smallest at the worst possible moments. The people you least wanted to see always seemed to be the ones you kept crossing paths with.The moment their eyes met, everyone in the group grew wary, their expressions turning guarded at once.At the same time, Joanne and Milena instinctively stepped in front of Lily's stroller, as though ready to shield her from any harm the group across from them might pose.Standing behind her two mothers, Lucille felt a wave of quiet reflection wash over her.By blood, Milena had no connection to Lily at all, while everyone across from them, aside from Wanda, was one of Lily's actual blood relatives. And yet, despite knowing Lily for only a short time, Milena had already come to love her wholeheartedly, stepping forward to protect her without a second thought.Meanwhile, the woman across from them, Lily's grandmother in name, had never once looked at her with even a shred of kindness or shown her th

    The moment Gideon opened his mouth, Lucille felt her heart drop straight into hell. "Gwen, stop trying to stir things up. Lucy is baby Connor's aunt. We're all family. If she can help, she should. There's extra milk anyway."'Baby Connor. He said the name with such easy intimacy, as if the boy were

    Grace rushed out of the room in a panic and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Earthquake? Was that an earthquake?"Nancy ran out as well, clutching the crying baby. She had heard the crash, panicked, and bolted for the door barefoot, her handbag still in her hand. She had not even stopped to put on
