Chapter 465 Pushed to the Edge
Beyond the Divorce
Pushed to the Edge | 2 Just then, the elevator dinged, and a figure strode over. âChlo, stop it, let her go!â It was Matthew. He rushed over, prying my hands apart.
After he flung me aside, I lunged at Melanie again.
Matthew glared at me, shouting, âWhat are you trying to do? Chloe...
Iâm warning you, let go!â Melanie was now in Matthewâs arms, panting and coughing. Her face, once purple, was returning to its normal color.
After catching her breath, she pointed at me and cried out to Matthew, âMatt, hit her! You saw it. She was trying to kill me. Sheâs been plotting against me.
Make her pay!â Once more, I charged at her. Rows I had never felt so out of control in my life, even when Matthew was violent toward me. No one could stop me.
Melanieâs face turned pale with fear.
Benjamin, Carol, and Eleanor tried to restrain me, holding onto my trembling body.
Matthew was taken aback. He shouted at everyone, âWhat are you all trying to do? Ganging up on a defenseless woman? You're really...â Before he could finish his sentence, I slipped free and smacked Matthew across the face.
I silenced Matthew before he could say anything else. My eyes widened, fixed on Matthew.
âMatthew, didnât you ask why I sent Ava to Celestis Island? It was to give her a change of scenery and help her forget the terror she experienced during the kidnapping.
âI didnât want her to be traumatized. If you care so much about that bitch, then watch over her. Otherwise, you'll regret it someday!â âChloe, restrain yourself. This isnât the first time youâve resorted to violence.
Donât push your luck!â Matthew shouted, protecting Melanie in his arms. She was still clutching her neck, struggling to breathe.
âWho's pushing their luck? Matthew, what kind of man are you? I canât stand by and watch any longer! You're condoning such cruelty! You're worse than an animal!â To everyone's surprise, it was Benjamin who lashed out. Even the most sincere person could be driven to madness.
Carol also spoke up, âAsk that cunt in your arms what happened ten days ago! She hired someone to abduct your daughter! If it weren't for Mr. Atlas, Ava wouldâve been gone. This woman is a devil, yet you have the nerve to scold Ms. Chloe?!â Benjamin's eyes widened in fury. He stomped his feet in anger. âI've seen stupid people, but I've never seen anyone as dumb as you. How did you become a father? Even wild animals donât harm their young! | «you? Where were you when your daughterâs life hung by a thread? This vile woman targeted a child, and you're protecting her, calling her a defenseless woman... Disgusting! I despise you. You're both despicable!â Someone shouted, âCall the police! She just admitted it herself. Call the police!â Melanieâs face turned pale. She looked at Matthew, shaking her head.
âTheyre talking nonsense. It wasnât me. I did nothing! I just heard about it!â I yanked her out of Matthewâs embrace. She held onto Matthew with all her might, trying to escape my grip.
âMatt, it wasnât me! Let go...â âWhat canât you do? You could even kick Grace, who raised you through thick and thin, out of your house, What else are you capable of?â | spat, âMelanie, you're heartless. Ava is just a child. Why did you harm her ?â âChloe! Sheâs terminally ill. Why shouldnât I tell her? When someone is sick, they go to the hospital. Should she just wait at home to die? @ ""Are we supposed to cheer for her while she is dying at home? Sheâs already on the brink of death. Where she lives doesnât matter. If sheâs going to die, she should do it in a hospital. I SY A resounding slap echoed in the office, accompanied by Matthewâs raging voice.
âMelanie Murphy, do you want to fucking die?! How dare you curse my mother?! Why did you hire someone to abduct Ava? Is everything they're saying true? Tell me, right now!â
