All Chapters of You Had This Divorce Coming: Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

Elaine had moved beyond reason. She stood on the brink of something she could never come back from."There is nothing in Coasthaven that the Prescott family cannot handle!"It's just Midnight Splendor. Burn it down. Let it burn. I want to see what Joanne and Lucille have left to be proud of once it's gone."Coasthaven's finest entertainment club? As of today, I'm going to make sure it disappears from this city. And I want that mother and daughter dead!"She poured every word into the phone before ending the call.…Wendy tapped the stop button on the recording app and saved the audio somewhere secure. She met Rayne's gaze, and the two of them exchanged small, knowing smiles."Mom, you recorded your own sister's phone call? Isn't that a little ruthless?""Taking a risk like this without a recording? What happens if your aunt tries to pin everything on us afterward?" Wendy replied matter-of-factly. "Better safe than sorry."Rayne nodded without another word. She took out her own

The moment Lucille and Joanne arrived, they recognized him. It was Tyler Hurden, the floor manager Joanne had fired not long ago.Lucille's expression turned deathly still. "Sven, walk me through this. He's the one?""Yes. He confessed to everything. He set the fire. I have the recordings."Joanne stepped forward and grabbed Tyler by the hair. "Tyler, why did you do this? You've been with me for nearly 10 years. When your mother was diagnosed with late-stage cancer, I lent you 100,000 dollars so you could pay for her treatment. And this is how you repay me?"Whatever Sven had done before they arrived had completely broken Tyler. He trembled uncontrollably, unable to keep himself together.Under questioning, he cracked almost immediately. He admitted that he had set the fire partly out of resentment over being fired. But there was also a woman with the surname Sullivan who had promised him 1,000,000 dollars."A woman with the surname Sullivan…" The words detonated in Lucille's che

Wendy was well known for her charitable work. She was constantly photographed at public charity events, always saying the right things. It was a reputation she had carefully cultivated. In Coasthaven's social circles, she was known as the "great benefactress."This club ranked just below Midnight Splendor in exclusivity and privacy. Without a connection at the highest level, getting through its doors was simply impossible.If Lucille didn't now have someone backing her, someone whose influence reached places like this, she never would have made it inside. She certainly never would have witnessed what these two women were really like when no one whose opinion mattered to them was watching.She was in no hurry to go in. Instead, she stepped aside, took out her phone, and called Gideon.After the fire at Blossom Court, Gideon had been staying at the Prescott estate. He had just stepped out of the shower and was reading the news about Midnight Splendor when his phone lit up with her na

"And this isn't all your cousin has done tonight. Oh, that's right. You said she couldn't even watch a fish being cut. That she would never commit arson. Correct?""Lucy, could there be some sort of misunderstanding?" Gideon's voice was low, with an unmistakable edge of uncertainty.He still couldn't accept it. What he had just witnessed had shattered everything he thought he knew about Rayne and Wendy. He needed time to process it all.Lucille hadn't expected him to keep making excuses for them, even now. A cold, mocking smile touched her lips."A misunderstanding? Your blind spot where your cousin is concerned is truly remarkable. Fine. I have every piece of evidence from tonight's fire at Midnight Splendor. I'll hand it all over to the police. If it's a misunderstanding, they'll sort it out. And if it isn't, they'll know soon enough." Her voice carried absolute certainty.Gideon heard it, and the full weight of the situation settled over him."Lucy, wait. Hold on. I'm coming r

Rayne's wailing was full-throated and relentless. Tears streamed down her face, making her the picture of devastation.Lucille looked down at the arms clamped around her leg and felt revulsion rise within her.Only moments ago, this woman had been crowing over the phone without restraint. Now she was sprawled on the floor like a limp crustacean, begging. She had no backbone whatsoever.Lucille genuinely could not understand how someone like this had spent years enjoying Gideon's affection and Otto's protection.Men were a complete mystery to her sometimes.She looked down at Rayne with flat, cold eyes, forcefully yanked her leg free, and took two quick steps back to put some distance between them.Rayne tumbled sideways and hit the floor hard.She cried even louder, one hand pressed over her heart, "Giddy, Giddy! Please help me and Mom, please. I can't lose the Westbrook family on top of everything else. And if photos of Mom get out, she'll never be able to show her face again..
