Chapter 789: 789. It would have been better to let you die on the operating table_1 Chapter 789: 789. It would have been better to let you die on the operating table_1 This ti, Christopher Moore had no reaction, as calm as if he were not the one who had just been hit.
Gently wiping the thin trickle of blood from the corner of his mouth, there wasn’t a trace of resentnt or anger on his face, he rely said:
“I’ll have the lawyer draw up the divorce agreent for you.”
Without another word, Christopher turned and walked away, his tall figure now seemingly hunched and forlorn, a clear sign that Lily Jones had indeed hurt him deeply.
At the sa ti, his willingness to propose divorce probably ant he had lost all hope in Lily.
It was only then that Lily really began to panic, but she did not chase after him. Instead, she stood her ground, furiously shouting at Christopher’s retreating figure:
“Christopher Moore, stop right there! You heartless man, I’ve risked my life to bear you a son, and this is how you treat , stop right there!”
She stomped her feet in place, seething with even deeper resentnt.
In the past, when she got angry, Christopher would always be patient and coax her, finding ways to make her happy, but now, he had lost that patience and had gone as far as to directly propose divorce.
Everything changed after Elly Campbell appeared. He changed, even though he claid to have nothing to do with her.
Lily’s eyes turned bloodshot with rage, and when Christopher had completely disappeared from her sight, she made no move to follow him.
Instead, she turned around, glaring at Elly Campbell with a face full of spite, and the next second, she charged at Elly.
“It’s all because of you, you wretch, if it weren’t for you, Christopher would have never divorced !”
She raised her hand to slap Elly’s face, but before her palm could reach it, Elly forcefully caught the blow.
Elly’s strength was much greater than Lily’s, and gripping her wrist like that, Lily couldn’t move at all.
“Elly Campbell, let go of , you shaless ‘Fox Spirit,’ seducing my brother wasn’t enough, now you seduce my husband…”
Slap—
Lily’s words were cut short as Elly slapped her right back.
“Lily Jones, I’m not Christopher, I won’t tolerate your ridiculous and troubleso temper. The only person in the world who could bear with you is Christopher. You drove your own husband away and instead of looking at your faults, you bla others. Why can’t even Christopher stand you? Don’t you have a clue?”
“My marriage to your brother is recognized by the governnt. Whether you accept it or not is irrelevant. Even if I were to ‘seduce’ your brother, that’d be a matter of marital spice between us, which is far better than you desperately trying to find a mistress for your own brother and not even getting a glance despite your propositions!”
“I knew rescuing you was a mistake. You’re brainless. I should have just let you die on the operating table!”
Elly was truly angry this ti, and thus her tone and choice of words beca harsher as she spoke.
This was the second ti Lily had been slapped by Elly.
The first was in the hospital, when she convinced Adam Jones to hand William Campbell over to Sophie Baker for care, and Elly responded with a direct slap.
This ti, Lily’s several senseless remarks had infuriated Elly, earning her a direct slap across the face.
Lily hadn’t expected Elly to dare to hit her, and with the resentnt of being ostracized by the Jones family, the hatred from Christopher proposing divorce, and this slap, old grudges and new ca together, and Lily exploded as if she’d gone mad.
“Elly Campbell, how dare you hit !!!”
She struggled and tried to hit Elly back, seemingly throwing caution to the wind with great force, causing Elly to stagger several steps backward.
