Semua Bab Divorce Finally Made Him Break: Bab 521 - Bab 530

"Josie? Josie, are you listening?"Over the phone, Ruby's voice was laced with panic. "If it comes down to it, then just make sure she goes down, too. I know what you're afraid of. You're scared Timothy will pull the plug on your mother's equipment. But think about it. Your mother is your family. What about Daphne? She's your daughter!"For a moment, it felt like I was standing on a riverbank, watching my mother and Daphne about to be swept away by the current.No matter which one I reached for, the other would be dragged under, and I'd spend the rest of my life drowning in guilt."Josie?" Ruby called again, her tone softer. "I know you're in a tough spot, but you can't keep waiting."I took a deep breath. My throat felt tight, and every single word was a struggle to speak. "I'll decide soon. Thank you, Ruby."She sighed, exhaustion and frustration bleeding into her voice. "Don't thank me. I'm only doing what I can to help. The problem is, I spent the entire night throwing money

I hurriedly put my phone away.The girls had no idea what had just happened.Daphne looked up at me innocently. "Mommy, didn't you say you were taking Shanny and me out all day today? When are we leaving?"Shannon didn't rush me, but she looked at me with the same hopeful look in her eyes.My throat tightened. I reached out and gently patted Daphne's head. "How about we stay in today? I'm… not feeling very well."Her little face immediately turned solemn. "Are you sick, Mommy?" she asked, her tone laced with concern.Shannon, too, cast a worried glance at me. "Ms. York, should we go to the hospital?" I was touched by how considerate they were, and I said gently, "I just need to rest for a bit. I'll be fine soon. I'm sorry I broke my promise.""When you break a promise, it's because there's a reason. When Daddy breaks a promise, it's because of that bad woman. I forgive you, but I don't forgive Daddy. Even if he apologizes, I don't want to forgive him anymore!" said Daphne.Th

Yasmin shook her head hard, her long hair sticking to her damp cheeks. Her voice trembled with tears, but there was a sharp edge beneath it."No! I can't let it end like this. I can't!"Then, something seemed to occur to her. She browsed her contacts, muttering under her breath, "I'm calling Tim. I'll have him shut off Josie's mother's equipment. I'll make her pay. I'll make her watch her mother die. I'll make her die!"At that moment, she looked completely unhinged. Hatred churned in her eyes, and a twisted smile pulled at her lips, as if she wished she could tear me apart herself.She couldn't believe I dared do this.Just as her finger hovered over the call button, the door clicked open.Timothy stood in the doorway. His expression was hard, and his eyes were cold. His gaze swept across the mess in the room before settling on Yasmin's contorted face.She instantly froze.A second later, her voice broke into a sob. "Tim, you're here!"Timothy didn't soften. Instead, he deman

Harriett didn't spare Emily or Yasmin another glance. She walked out in a storm of fury, her heels clicking sharply as she left.Neither Yasmin nor Emily had expected Harriett to turn on them like that.Emily's tone was thick with resentment. "That old hag is unbelievable! She used us, and now she's tossing us aside. Who was the one crying and begging you to marry Timothy as soon as possible? Something goes wrong, and suddenly it's all on us. She flips on us without so much as a thought!"Yasmin barely seemed to hear her. She stared blankly at the floor, repeating the same words under her breath, "It's over. I'm finished. Timothy's protecting Josie, and Harriett hates me now. No. I can't just sit here and let it happen. I can't!"Her voice dropped lower and lower, but it carried a cold, determined edge.She wasn't going to let me defeat her. Not a chance.…Outside the hospital entrance, Harriett had just come down the steps and hadn't even reached her car when a barrage of came

I wrote everything out.At the end of the post, I attached the hospital documentation proving that the device was in use, along with the audio recording from outside Harriett's mansion, where she and Emily had used my mother's life as leverage and forced me to admit that I was the mistress.Then, I posted it.I deliberately left Daphne out of it.There was no way I would drag her into this storm. I refused to let her grow up with people whispering behind her back and labeling her as our daughter who was raised by the mistress.But the truth that the Grants had threatened me with my mother's medical device was already impactful enough.Just as I had expected, as soon as the post went live, the internet erupted.The people who'd been attacking me fell silent, and in their place came sympathy.Public opinion shifted again, and this time the spotlight fixed itself squarely on the Grants, as everyone waited for an explanation.I stared at the constantly updating comments before fin
