"You're going off the rails, Chloe!"
Melanie retorted, "You no longer have a say in my family!"
‘Yes, I've cut ties with your family,"
I admitted, then turned to Matthew to continue persuading him, "Everyone here should
know how our marriage ended, right? "I
could've ignored your family’s troubles because even your mom watched you assault me
without interfering.Your whole family is
heartless and selfish."
The crowd exchanged glances, and even Keegan looked at Matthew disdainfully.
Meanwhile, Matthew appeared helpless as I continued, "Your mom's condition saddens
me.That’s why I took her to the hospital.I
don’t have time to ‘ sow discord’ like your wife said.
"Melanie thinks I want to return to your family? Yeah, right! I want to thank you for
cheating because it allowed me to escape your

end up as ungrateful and heartless as
you."
"That's enough!"
Matthew looked at me and slumped into his chair like he was about to cry.
If no one else were here, he would have cried already.
After all, no one could be indifferent about their mother’s life-threatening illness.
Of course, Melanie could since Grace wasn't her biological mother.
Seeing Matthew utterly broken, I turned to Melanie and said confidently, "If you dare to
bear your fangs again, I'll make you
regret it.I don’t care if I was your sister-in-law.I'll hold you accountable for your crimes.
"Remember what you ate, wore, and used.Everything came from my wallet.I never
expected you to repay me, but don’t lose your
conscience and who saved your son.He would've died without me breaking my leg to save
him.You better stop being nasty, or
karma will catch up."
"Wait, what happened?"
Matthew looked at me and asked, "What do you mean when you said you saved my son?"
I smirked at Melanie. "You always bring chaos wherever you go.Matthew, ask her what
happened and why my leg broke.You can check at the hospital, too.Stop being a clueless
idiot." I glared at him.
"Treat your mom better.Her time’s running out, so don't leave any regrets."
"My mom...she..."
Matthew paled in distress.
"Chloe, I..."
I had never seen Matthew so helpless, which pained me.
Whenever he had no ideas in the past, I would always make the decisions.
However, I was no longer anyone to this family, as Melanie said.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI was just an outsider now and wasn’t desperate to involve myself in their messy affairs.
I composed myself and said indifferently, "That's all I have to say.How you treat your mom
is your business.Goodbye."
"Chloe..."
Matthew hurriedly stepped forward, seemingly wanting to say something.
Upon seeing his expression, Melanie wailed, "Matthew.I am your wife!"
I ignored the two and left while the people at Matthew's office door cleared a path.
I noticed the crowd looking at me with respect.
After leaving, I sighed and rubbed my slightly numb palm.
It felt satisfying to slap Melanie, but there was a lingering pain in my heart.Grace was
beyond saving, and I didn’t know how
Matthew would treat her next.
Still, I knew I had done my best.
I felt much lighter after leaving Ardora Construction.
When I entered my car, Lauren called again.Immediately after, I started the car and drove
toward the hospital.
