Chapter 119 Breaking News

Ivanna nodded and called her assistant to bring the reporters over. I told her, “Put me

down and take

pictures of everything.”

She followed my instructions and gently let go before taking pictures of the assault from

various angles. Soon after, she called the authorities and my lawyer, Adrian.

Seeing Ivanna’s actions, Matthew grew agitated. He yelled, “You caused this, Chloe! Even

if you call the cops, nothing will change. You’re in my house, and we’re still married. So

“I’ve had enough of your excuses!” Ivanna retorted and threw the knife at him.

Startled, Matthew bolted to the master bedroom while narrowly avoiding the knife.

Ivanna noticed my distress and cried. However, I smiled and reassured her, “Don’t cry. I’m

not dead yet.

It’s too late for him to stop now.”

When the authorities arrived, I showed them my house ownership certificate and ID before

The scandal of Matthew’s previous affair had yet to subside, and this incident only

worsened things for him. Adrian had also provided evidence of our ongoing divorce

Matthew to explain himself and arrested the three Murphys.

More breaking news trended in Foswood, with headlines reading, “Scumbag Brings

Mistress to Assault Wife at Home,” “Man Deceives Terminally III Father–in–Law for Assets,”

and “Havoc at Wife’s Home,

I didn’t think I would need to humillate myself just to divorce him. That night, I asked

Ivanna to deliver food to my mom and tell her I had urgent matters to handle. I dared not

visit my parents because I could

barely move.

Not wanting them to worry, I told Ivanna to keep the incident a secret and tell them I had

fallen asleep. I

knew my parents seldom used their phones, so they wouldn’t discover the trending news

so quickly.

Ivanna even fetched Ava from daycare before returning. Meanwhile, I had an ice pack on

my face as I

endured my pain to make the noodles Ava enjoyed.

I nodded and promised him I’d leave Matthew.

That afternoon, Atlas came to visit my dad. After a brief stay, he left. When I sent him off,

he glanced at me and said, “You have twenty minutes. I’ll be waiting for you in my car

downstairs.”

“I can’t leave yet,” I replied.

However, he ignored me and went downstairs.

I glared at him for never giving me a chance to refuse.

When I returned to my my mom asked me who Atlas was to me. I was shocked as I asked

her, “What else can he be, Mom? Don’t overthink it. We have a professional relationship,

and he has helped me a bunch. Otherwise, I couldn’t have reclaimed the house and

you okay?”

I thought he would scold me for not answering his calls. Still, I replied, “Yeah, I’m fine.”

Suddenly, he embraced me. His voice was full of warmth, yet he growled, “Damn it! Did all

that beating make you stupid?”
