Summer’s Point of View“Maxine,” Steven called out in a throaty voice. “Have you forgotten the rule I imposed on this city?”Maxine appeared frightened by what Steven had said, which reminded me of Missus Turner’s warning, not to mention Matteo’s name. Her face turned pale, indicating her fear. She took a step back and glared at me with anger, although she seemed to be trying to restrain herself.“Neither of you should remain in this building any longer. You both need to leave now!”“But Steven—”“Amby, don’t force me to call the authorities and have them remove you. I explicitly asked you to avoid causing chaos, yet you continue to test my patience.” With a tight jaw and a piercing stare, he expressed his resentment towards them. “Leave!”As Steven’s voice reverberated through the cavernous walls, Amby and Maxine instinctively shrank back, their bodies tensing with unease. His words seemed to shake the very foundation of the room, causing them to hastily retreat, their footsteps echo
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 137: Don't die
Summer’s Point of ViewAs Steven’s image materialized before me, a sudden chill swept over me, causing my stomach to knot up. The sight before me was gruesome - blood was splattered all over the floor and someone lay motionless in the midst of it all. Without a moment’s hesitation, Stefani dashed towards the person and I followed suit, trying my best to keep my balance as I ran.“S-Steven!” I cried out. “C-call an ambulance!”I held him on my lap while scanning the area for Brandon, who was frantically speaking on his phone. Despite his anxious stare at Stefani and me, my attention was solely focused on Stefani, who was watching the situation.My hands trembled, and my thoughts were jumbled. I couldn’t decide who to prioritize first between Stefani and Steven. In the midst of my confusion, Celine unexpectedly appeared.“Summer!” She came running towards us and picked up Stefani in her arms. “Aunty’s here. Don’t cry,” she said soothingly.Tears blurred my vision as I gazed at her, my f
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 138: Trial Court
Summer’s Point of View[Senior Carter, also known as Gregorio Feed Carter, will soon be stepping down from his current position. He is expected to announce his successor and reveal who will assume his power.][Steven Carter, the young and successful businessman, is currently in a coma after being shot by his childhood friend, who was suspected to be his mistress.]After hearing that, I switched off the TV and headed to the bathroom. I submerged myself in the bathtub until my mind calmed down, all the while gazing at my clean hands. These very hands were the ones that had tried to stop the bleeding in Steven’s chest. Yet, despite their cleanliness, an overwhelming sense of terror persisted, as if the blood still lingered.In a state of daze, my room unexpectedly opened without a knock. As I stared at the person who had entered, tears welled up in my eyes and I found myself unable to hold back the sobs that escaped me. The hands I was fixated on became blurred by the stream of tears.“M
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 139: The Court's decision
Summer’s Point of View“Prosecution, you may call your first witness,” the judge declared.“Thank you, your Honor. I call to the stand Calvin Klein,” my attorney responded.“Will the witness please stand to be sworn in by the bailiff?” the judge announced.“To the witness, Calvin Klein, please raise your right hand. Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?” the bailiff said.“I do.”Calvin’s deliberate footsteps echoed through the room as he made his way to the front, causing my breath to hitch in my throat. The expressions on Mr. Klein and Amby’s faces revealed their surprise, and I could see Calvin’s father whispering to the lawyer. Their eyes shifted towards me, but I casually shrugged it off, my gaze fixed ahead. Uncertainty lingered, unsure if this man would also betray what he had witnessed.As his gaze fixed upon me, his voice resonated through the room. “Mister Carter is my father’s esteemed business partner,” he began, the sound of his words
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 140: A New Baby
Summer’s Point of ViewFollowing the trial, I wasted no time in heading over to Celine’s place to share the news and pick up Stefani. They were overjoyed to hear it, as they had faith in my abilities but doubted the people of New York City. Harvey offered to lend a hand, but I didn’t want to involve him any further in my troubles. I was simply grateful to have them by my side throughout the trial.Having already visited the hospital, we were surprised to find Calvin there. It amazed me, as I had thought he wouldn’t want to see me again after what had happened. However, as he noticed me approaching, he closed the distance between us.“Once again, I sincerely apologize for what happened, Mrs. Carter. I am here to personally extend my apologies on behalf of my father, as supporting Amby feels like a betrayal towards Mr. Carter as well,” he said and bowed his head.I smiled and shook my head. “No, I should be the one thanking you for what you did. Thanks to your testimony, Amby is finally
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 141: You are my wife
Summer’s Point of ViewI blinked repeatedly, my eyes straining to distinguish between reality and the product of my yearning for him. But before I could fully comprehend it all, he swiftly drew me into his embrace, and I found myself instantly pressed against his warm, solid frame.That was when I snapped out of reality and noticed his wound, which I could have accidentally hit. With my eyes widened, I tried to stand up, but he was pulling me closer, our bodies already pressed against each other.“Steven, stop it!” I exclaimed, struggling to pull out. “And when did you wake up?!”“I’ve been awake since 4 am, and since I can’t see you and Celine, I fell back asleep,” he whispered, his breath gently brushing against my ears. “As I expected, your scent is far more comforting than the sterile smell of this hospital.”I gulped, the sound echoing in the room, as his words hit me like a sudden wave. A rush of warmth spread across my cheeks, turning them a deep shade of crimson. But amidst th
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 142: Go home
Summer’s Point of ViewI collapsed to the ground, my entire body trembling uncontrollably. As I glanced upwards, I saw a tall, white man peering down at me. He had a distinctive scar on his left eyebrow, but there was no denying his elegance and the air of wealth that surrounded him. Despite wearing a gray jacket, black pants, and white rubber shoes, he wasn’t appearing to be just an ordinary passerby.With my demeanor still not calming, I slowly crawled back and nearly gasped as he squatted down to match our heights.And then he asked, “Are you okay?”I resisted the urge to reply, my attention now fixated on his countenance. The longer my gaze lingered, the stronger the sensation of familiarity washed over me, like a distant echo resurfacing.After a minute of gazing at him, he let out a sigh, followed by a chuckle. “Listen, Miss. I have no intention of hurting you, okay?”Silently, my lips remained sealed, my eyes fixed upon his face, searching for a familiar memory. Yet, despite my
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 143: Thank you
Summer’s Point of ViewI let out a sigh. “Alright, but I advise against going to work just yet. Everything is currently under control, all thanks to Brandon.”“It appears that Brandon is handling things quite well.”“Yes, and he deserves a raise.”“Good point.” He smirked before wrapping his arm around my waist and sitting back on the bed. “Shall we head home now?”“I’m sorry, not yet,” I replied, gently pushing him. “We need to go see grandpa first. You know how concerned he is about you, especially after what happened. Luckily, he has his nurse by his side because when he found out you were shot, he had another heart attack.”He remained quiet, yet his grip on my waist remained firm as his mind began to wander. “What about Amby?” he finally asked.I shifted my gaze to the side, my eyes fixated on the dark sky adorned with shimmering stars. In a hushed tone, I quietly responded, “She’s currently behind bars.”What she did was truly terrible, but I knew that Steven still had some empa
