Beyond the Divorce novel Chapter 119

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 what if we fought?” “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 telling the media about the assault.

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 proceedings.

The cops did not allow 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, Hospitalized After Assault.” 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.

When Ava finally slept, I received a call from Atlas.
