Beyond the Divorce novel Chapter 455

Matthew roared, "Stop!"

I looked at his handsome face, now twisted with anger and a hint of helplessness.

"Shut up, all of you!"

I cursed silently, wondering why he had not acted sooner.

"Matthew, are you blind? Can't you see she hit me? She's been tormenting me to no end, right under your nose.Are you just going to stand there?"

Melanie took cover behind Johnson, angrily shouting, "Johnson, grow a pair!"

I pulled Johnson aside, glaring at Melanie without backing down.

"I was the one who hit you, and if you dare to cross me again, I'll do it again!"

"I dare you to!"

Melanie yelled at me, her neck straining.

"Try me!"

I stepped forward.

I didn't dare touch her back when she was pregnant.

Now, I couldn't care less.

If I could slap her again, I wouldn't hold back.

The people Matthew intended to dismiss had not left.

They were all watching the scene unfold with amusement and shock.

Perhaps no one expected me to slap Melanie in front of everyone.

I noticed some satisfied expressions among the crowd.

Given the circumstances, I knew I could not let this opportunity pass me by.

I continued to chastise Melanie.

This was precisely the outcome I wanted.

I wanted everyone to know just how vile Melanie was.

Turning to Matthew, I said, "You abandoned her in that small house.It was I, your so-called "ex-wife," who drove her to the hospital. Isn't Grace your real mother?"

He looked at me, his face growing paler.

His voice was weak as he asked, "How'd you find out she was sick?"

"If she hadn't wanted to see Ava today, I wouldn't have found out.She's in the late stages of liver cancer, on borrowed time.You had no idea."

"Chloe, stop trying to drive a wedge between us!"

Melanie shouted, covering her cheek.

"Drive a wedge? You're not even worth it! Only an idiot like Matthew would be attracted to you.You overestimate yourself"
