No Divorce? The Billionaire's Love Chase! novel Chapter 157

After being detained for a day and two nights, and then running around all day...

She was worried about her mother's health, heartbroken over a child with leukemia, and anxious about her own case.

Exhausted to her limits, both mentally and physically, Claudia saw York, and a surge of anger propelled her weak body forward.

Filled with hatred, Claudia raised her hand to slap him.

York grabbed her wrist, noticing how cold her hand was.

Frowning, York held onto her hand and pulled her forcefully into the apartment.

At that moment, Claudia had lost control of her emotions.

She broke free from York's grasp and started grabbing whatever she could find to throw at him.

York ducked to avoid the object she threw and moved to restrain her.

He grabbed both her wrists, his face cold. "If you're only here to vent your emotions instead of solving the problem, you can leave."

Ignoring the pain in her wrists, Claudia broke free and grabbed the lapel of York's suit.

She demanded, "My cousin's family are honest, hardworking people. Dora is only nine, and she has leukemia. You'd even exploit them. Are you even human?"

York allowed her to clutch his lapel, replying calmly, "It was his choice."

Looking at York, Claudia felt as if she had lost all her strength and options.

She stood there, stunned, staring at him.

Her eyes red and her lips trembling, she said, word by word, "York, I will make you pay!"

Claudia stumbled backward, her steps unsteady, and finally broke down in tears.

York's words were like a series of daggers, plunging precisely into Claudia's heart, the pain so intense she could hardly breathe.

A wave of dizziness washed over her, and her body went limp, collapsing onto the floor.

York stood over her, looking down at her overly haggard face.

He didn't help her up, nor did he offer any comfort.

In that moment, they weren't like husband and wife, but like two parties at a negotiation table.

York's tone was devoid of any emotion. "Claudia, we're all adults. Every choice has a price."
