Semua Bab My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back: Bab 231 - Bab 240

Charlotte stood in the courtyard, dumbfounded. She stared helplessly at the empty backyard and called out twice, "Chicky?" But there was no response.She closed her eyes, unable to describe her emotions; it was no longer just anger. It was just a chicken, not really a pet. But it was a gift from Julie, something that belonged to her.Most importantly, Julie liked it so much and was willing to give it to her. When she had received it, she couldn't help but cry and laugh, and when she entrusted it to Helen to take care of, she was committed.Why did Griffith feel entitled to touch her belongings, let alone a living creature, just because he was in a bad mood? He'd gone so far as to kill it. She was so angry that she turned around expressionlessly and ran back into the living room.Helen saw that her expression was off and, not understanding what was going on, asked, "Madam, what's wrong?"Charlotte didn't say a word, hearing movement upstairs. She looked up and saw Griffith coming o

Downstairs, Helen became anxious when she heard no sound come from upstairs. She wondered if she should call the old mansion and ask Francine to intervene. Suddenly, an unusually sharp chicken cry pierced the silence.She instinctively turned and looked upstairs. The bedroom door opened. Griffith intended to leave, but the chicken flew out behind him. He turned around, and in an instant, the chicken scratched the corner of his eye. Helen and Charlotte were shocked. Chicky landed on the floor, and Griffith bumped into the door frame. The second he turned away, Charlotte glimsed the scratch in the corner of his eye. It was about two to three centimeters long.He used his knuckles to brush the injured area. Feeling pain, he glared at Charlotte icily. Charlotte was still in shock, lost for words. A few seconds later, Griffith turned around expressionlessly and disappeared from her sight.Helen walked upstairs, and noticing the injury near Griffith's eye, she felt sorry for him. She ha

"You must have driven away everyone who came into your life and tried to be good to you. I don't owe you anything! We're divorced. I have no obligation to cater to your mood! I can't imagine how anyone could tolerate you."Charlotte noticed the look in Griffith's eyes changed at the end of her words.That murderous intent was like that night when he attacked the thugs at Krystal's house. She did not doubt that he might attack her in the next moment.She clenched her fists and stared into his eyes. Since getting the divorce certificate, she had constantly absorbed his emotions. Yes, she had asked for his help, but when it came down to it, hadn't he used her too? It was a mutually beneficial relationship, so what gave him the right to treat her like that?In the darkness around them, illuminated only by the faint light from the doorway, they could see the flames in each other's eyes. After a long standoff, Griffith's overwhelming killing intent gradually subsided. His gaze toward Cha

Charlotte stared at the door momentarily, then lowered her head and called Ash. Before long, Ash came and opened the door again. Seeing that it was her, Ash remained calm and asked, "Is there something you need?"Charlotte raised the chicken and said, "I might not be able to care for Chicky anymore. Can you look after it?"Ash hadn't thought that she would come over early in the morning just to deliver the chicken. He thought she had come to appease the tyrant inside.He took Chicky from her, turned to the side, and casually said, "We're having breakfast. Join us.""No, thanks. I have something else to do," Charlotte replied. She glanced inside but didn't see Griffith. Withdrawing her gaze, she nodded to Ash and walked toward the elevator.Holding the chicken, Ash thought about how he saw her meeting Simon yesterday. He could guess the situation. The poor chicken was the biggest victim here. He saw it; there was a rope tied around the its neck.Sigh.He closed the door, and Juli

"This sort of thing should be settled privately by offering some money. Calling the police will only tarnish the theater's reputation!" Inside and outside the office, a crowd had gathered. It had only been a few days since the previous dramatic incident involving the elderly and disabled, and now this. It was quite a rollercoaster ride, and everyone found it overwhelming.Charlotte sat calmly on the couch.When Lucy initially pulled her aside, she knew that if this was a simple aaaextortion attempt just for money; it would be best to settle it privately. However, she was sure that the other party wasn't after money. They were targeting her. She had to call the police and thoroughly investigate all the details to ensure that bigger problems wouldn't arise."Ms. Wallace, I'm so disappointed in you," Mr. Logan said, looking at her with disdain. He had thought of her as a money tree, but now, she caused so much trouble just as she was starting to make him some profit.Jessica was sit
