No Divorce? The Billionaire's Love Chase! novel Chapter 127

"Claudia, shut your mouth!" York roared, his eyes red with fury.

Three years of marriage, countless intimate nights, and she had just made it all sound so sordid.

Claudia lost control. She laughed, and the tears finally fell. "Out of respect for our long acquaintance, I'll give you a discount. Three years for fifty million. Forget the interest, I'll pay back the principal, and we get a divorce!"

With that, she thrust the bank card into Jessica's hand.

"Mom," she cried, "that fifty million is the price for my body. We can't give it to them!"

She stumbled back to her room and locked the door.

Claudia's muffled sobs could be heard from inside. York, eyes blazing, pounded on the door.

"Claudia, open the door!" he yelled, slamming his body against it.

Eddy emerged from his room at the commotion. Seeing York trying to break down his sister's door, he disregarded his injured wrist, grabbed York's collar, and threw a punch.

"Eddy!" Worried things were about to get out of hand, Jessica quickly stepped in to hold her son back.

Felix ran into the kitchen and came back with a butcher knife, his eyes bloodshot. "All of you, get out!"

York staggered toward Felix, panic in his eyes. "Dad, Mom, Claudia is my wife! I never thought of her that way!"

He had let his grandfather settle the accounts only to make her see the reality of the situation, to make her back down from the divorce. While he hadn't married her for love, he had never once disrespected her.

He thought that by having their families sit down and talk, he could bring Claudia home. He never imagined it would end like this.

Wendy, seeing her son so out of control for the first time, looked on with a mixture of disappointment and heartache.

Sewell pointed a finger at Felix's nose. "You lay a hand on my son, and I'll make your entire family pay!"

After the Fergusons left, Jessica knocked on her daughter's door.

Claudia opened it and fell into her mother's arms, repeatedly saying she was sorry.

Her time working had taught her how hard it was to earn money. It had also shown her how much she still had to learn in her field. She couldn't support her parents and brother yet, which was why she had to leave them with some savings.

For the first time in her life, she had sacrificed her pride for money, and she had done it in front of her own parents.

Claudia wept, and Jessica wept with her. Eddy and his father stood by the door, their eyes red.

Over an hour later, York woke up in the Ferguson Mansion.

His grandfather sat in the living room in stony silence while his parents were in the middle of a screaming match.

York looked unnaturally pale.
