All Chapters of Kicking Him to the Curb: Chapter 241 - Chapter 250

Lillian stormed forward and slapped Gwyneth hard across the face. "I knew it! All these years without a child, it was because you didn't want one! You selfish, useless girl!" she spat, glaring at Gwyneth like she was an enemy, not her own flesh and blood."If you two had even just one kid, it wouldn't matter if you stayed together or not. At least there would be something binding you to each other, and you'd never have to worry about your future. Zac wouldn't have to keep struggling either—but you, as his big sister, chose to think only of yourself!""Zac, Zac, Zac! It's always Zac!" Gwyneth finally snapped, her voice rising with years of pent-up fury. "Have you ever cared about me? About whether I live or die? My life has been hell, and you've never once asked how I'm doing. All you see is Zac. Is he the only child you have? Am I not your daughter too?" Zac watched the two women screaming at each other, utterly helpless. He finally said, "Mom… Gwyneth's had it really tough th

Chester sat there with one leg casually crossed over the other, a look of disdain and mockery in his eyes. He had a cold, unapproachable vibe that was nothing like how he behaved around Aspen.Seeing him like this only made Gwyneth even angrier. She snapped, "I paid you! Chester, you really have no sense of professionalism. You took the money and did nothing. You bastard!"Just thinking about how much money she had handed over made her heart ache.Aspen nearly burst out laughing. She used to think Gwyneth had some brains, but clearly, she was dead wrong. It was hilarious that someone like her could say something so outrageous right to Chester's face.Unfazed by Gwyneth's tantrum, Chester finally spoke, his tone calm yet sarcastic. "I do dirty work for a living, sure, but you're supposed to be squeaky clean, aren't you? What do you think Colin would say if he saw you like this? Would he still be just as obsessed with you?"That one sentence made Gwyneth snap right back to her sense

Aspen looked at Chester intently, her voice steady and sincere as she said, "Thank you."Chester hadn't expected that. After everything he had calculated and orchestrated, all he got was a simple 'thank you'. He frowned in disbelief and stared at her, asking, "You seriously think I did all this for you?""I don't care what your reason was. Thank you for helping me see the truth," Aspen replied, smiling faintly. She added, "I know you're just like me. We're driven by blood-deep revenge—yours for your parents, mine for my daughter. At the end of the day, we're the same kind of people, and more importantly, we share the same enemy."A spark of excitement flickered in her eyes, and Chester couldn't help but feel like he had truly found the right partner. Just as he was about to respond, someone suddenly appeared between them.Aren stepped in, standing right in the middle between them, glancing from one face to the other. His expression was ice-cold and unreadable.Then, he took a st

"How can you say you're fine? You passed out from the pain," Aren said, his eyes filled with heartbreak as he looked at her.He added, "Please stop punishing yourself like this. Don't push yourself so hard, okay? Pen, I'll give you anything you want. Just don't keep doing this. "You're not just hurting yourself—you're hurting me too. No matter how much pain you put yourself through, Sophie isn't coming back. And if she's watching from above, seeing you like this would tear her apart."Aren knew Aspen couldn't even see him right now. Her mind was stuck in grief, maybe even bordering on self-destruction. She blamed herself for Sophie's death, and hurting herself seemed like the only way to make it up to Sophie.Hearing Aren's words only made Aspen feel worse. "Sophie was the best thing in this entire world. She was my daughter, and I couldn't protect her. She was just a child. She loved me so much. She was innocent—how could they do that to her? How could they treat her like that?

Aren carefully helped Aspen back into bed, treating her like she was something delicate and priceless. He tucked the blanket around her gently, then adjusted the bedside lamp. The soft, golden glow fell across her pale face, making her look even more fragile."You're just too stubborn sometimes. That scumbag Colin isn't worth getting upset over," he chided softly, though his voice was laced with tenderness. Aspen forced a weak smile, but her eyes were dim and lifeless. "I'm fine, Aren. Don't worry about me."But her clenched fists and trembling body betrayed every word. Aren saw it all, and it hurt. He knew a storm was brewing beneath her calm exterior, one she was barely keeping in check. Everything she had just heard about Sophie was like a knife to the heart—sharp, brutal, and unforgiving."Pen, I know you're hurting," Aren murmured as he took her hand and gently ran his thumb across her knuckles. "But you have to remember, you're not alone. I'm here for you, always, and I'll
