Chapter 186 “Phil, you have to believe me, I have nothing to do with this!”

No matter how Sharon tried to justify herself, this time, Philip showed no mercy. He fiercely laid a hand on her face, causing her to collapse to the ground. Her face was also deathly pale.

“You actually hit me?!”

Throughout their marriage, Philip had always been compliant. Even though they argued sometimes, he had never laid a hand on her! Sharon couldn’t believe that, for Maeve’s sake, Philip had not only argued with her repeatedly but had now even resorted to violence.

“You have brought disgrace and embarrassment to our family. What else should I expect from you? Sharon, I was wrong about you! Maeve is one of us. Your usual snide remarks were one thing, but to plot and scheme against her is overboard!”

Philip pointed at James. “Look at what a fine example you’ve set for our child! Attempted murder! How could I have a wife like you?”

Sharon knew that this time, Philip was truly furious. She said in her heart, “He has always adored Marve.”

“Fine! I admit that I’m wrong this time! Divorce me if you dare!” Sharon suddenly spoke boldly while Maeve watched coldly from the side.

This had always been Sharon’s trump card. Whenever there was a serious argument, she would threaten divorce. Each time, Philip would relent because he couldn’t bear to part with her. But this time, she felt that her words would likely lose their effect.

As expected, Philip didn’t back down, as Sharon had anticipated. Instead, he said, “Fine! Let’s divorce!”

She was full of disbelief, and James was stunned. “Dad! She’s your wife! How can you just bring up divorce for the sake of someone else?”

Sharon desperately cried, “I gave you a son, and this is how you repay me! Philip, where’s your humanity?”

Philip’s face showed his struggle, but ultimately, he made a painful decision. He turned to Maeve and said, “Maeve, I have wronged you. It’s because of me that you were nearly harmed. I leave these two in your hands. Whether you want to go to the police or handle it personally, it’s none of my business!”

Although he had said this, Maeve knew that Philip cared for Sharon She glanced indifferently at Sharon, who was wailing and rolling on the ground, and said, “Uncle Phil, since you have handed them over to me, I’ll handle it.”

Philip stepped back and said nothing more.

“So, Aunt Sharon, all this fuss was just to get the Scott family’s wealth into the Quill family, wasn’t it?” Maeve stepped forward, commenting, “You can avoid going to the police. Agree to one condition, and I will turn a blind eye to this matter.”

“W–What condition?” Sharon looked at Maeve warily.

She did not believe Maeve would be so kind.

Maeve said, “I’ve said before that I wanted to take over the company. You’ve undermined me behind the scenes, getting the Scott family’s branches to disagree with my takeover. You tried to influence Uncle Phil’s decision then, right?”

Sharon’s face expressed her guilt.

Maeve continued, “I could overlook that, but if you don’t want to face prison, you and your child must lose your inheritance rights.

Moreover, if something happens to Uncle Phil in the future, you won’t receive a single penny.”

“No way!” Sharon yelled.

Maeve raised an eyebrow and asked, “When you first married my uncle, was it for the Scott family’s n money or for my uncle as a person?”
