Chapter 100 All Against One
Melanie’s resilience impressed me, and I thought she was pretty shameless to say such a
thing. After all,
she was in a humiliating position herself,
“Go ahead. I’m sure you never lack good news since you’re so shameless,” I retorted and
met Melanie’s
gaze.
Unexpectedly, Henry spoke, “Stop being stubborn. You’re equally responsible in this
situation. Don’t think
everyone owes you something!”
I stared at him and didn’t know how to respond. Soon after, Matthew entered and saw me
holding Ava.
He observed everyone’s expressions, then told me, “Let’s go home.”
“Matt, why are you in a hurry to leave? I didn’t tell Chloe the good news yet,” Melanie
sneered at him, “Do

My mind went blank, and my head throbbed. I swayed, and Matthew came to support me.
“Honey.” 1
I looked at him. “Her child?”
Matthew couldn’t bear to look into my eyes, and I realized Melanie’s claim was true. I
couldn’t control my
emotions as I asked, “The child belongs to you two?” 1
Henry shamelessly stated, “Mel and Matt aren’t blood–related siblings, so they can have
as many kids as they want. You don’t need to make a fuss, and stop making it seem like
my family owes you everything. Since we’ve encountered this problem, we should solve it
within the family.”
“Solve it internally?” After putting Ava down, I stared at Henry and asked, “I’d like to hear
how you plan on solving this.”
Everyone in the room fell silent. With a heavy heart, I turned to Matthew and asked, “Tell
me, how do you propose we handle this internally?!
Ava tightened her grip on my thigh and called me, “Mommy.
Henry scolded me, “What are you yelling about? Matthew, we’ve watched you two for
years, and you always fawn over her. Who does she think she is? She only contributed
some funds to start the business.
Chloe, stop thinking we should be forever grateful to you just because of that. Would your
business run so smoothly if it weren’t for my son? Matthew, just divorce her and give her
half the assets
chloe, you don’t have the right to stay in that new house because my son worked hard to
pay for it. Move
from there, and we can discuss the rest later:

I laughed, asking. “You want me to give up the apartment?” I looked at Henry and
continued, “Don’t even
think about it!”
I never expected Henry to treat me as the mistress trying to take someone else’s property

treated Melanie as Matthew’s rightful wife.
“Chlo, don’t be so…impulsive,” Matthew mumbled, “Let’s all stay calm.”
“How can I stay calm?!” I retorted, “Is this what you all agree on?”
I glanced at Grace, who refused to look at me.
“All right, just wait for it then!” I declared, grabbing Ava’s hand to leave. I couldn’t reason
with them. “We can get a divorce, but Matthew will leave this marriage with nothing!
“What are you saying? Henry jumped to his feet. “Matthew, deal with her! She’s too
arrogant!”
“He needs the balls to do that! Do you already consider this arrogant? Well, I got news for
you,” I shot
back. “Your whole family is despicable. It’s no wonder you have a son like him. After all,
like father, like
son.‘
Suddenly, something hit me, and I palmed my cheek.
