The Dead Fiancé's Return: Too Late, She's His Uncle's Wife Now novel Chapter 14

The parents shouted.

“Look how gloomy his face is!”

“That love–wrecker really crossed the line this time.”

“Everyone record this! She’s about to get what she deserves!”

The crowd buzzed with anticipation, waiting for Calix’s next move.

Cathy was so sure of her position, certain Calix would choose her.

However, Calix pushed away her outstretched hand and stared intently at me and Karina.

That’s when Karina stepped forward, tugging Calix’s sleeve.

Her innocent eyes looked up at him, confused. “Daddy, why is that boy calling you his daddy too?”

Before Calix could answer, Tyler shoved her hard.

“Stop calling him that, you stupid brat!”

“I guess I didn’t hurt you enough earlier.”

“He’s My dad! I’ll kill you for trying to steal him!” Tyler raised his fist again.

Just then, Calix grabbed Tyler and warned him through gritted teeth, “Don’t touch her!”

Tyler lost his balance and crashed onto the pavement.

His elbow scraped raw against the concrete, drawing blood.

His screams pierced the air.

Casey rushed to his side and hugged her son. In pain, she said, “Calix, how could you do this to Taylor? He is a poor child. His father has been absent since he was little. You promised to treat him as if he were

your own son…”

But Calix ignored her. He knelt beside Karina. “Sweetheart, are you hurt?”

Karina, who used to adore her father, shrank back in fear.

Chapter 14

She buried herself in my arms, watching him like a wounded animal.

Calix’s face crumpled at her reaction.

Just then, a black Mercedes and several police cruisers pulled up.

A man in an expensive suit hurried over, looking apologetic.

“Ms.Anya, I apologize for the delay. Traffic was awful.”

“The divorce papers are ready.”

“And I brought officers to handle the assault charges.”

Seeing the lawyer’s deference, Cathy exploded. “You desperate bitch! Hiring actors now?”

The parents jumped in. “Just a golddigger pretending to be some CEO.”

“She actually thinks sleeping with Calix makes her somebody?”

“Called the cops on herself – how pathetic!”

Once, I could endure everything for the sake of my love with Calix. But today, she has crossed my bottom line, which is laying hands on my child Karina.

I turned to the officers, my voice steady. “These people assaulted me, vandalized my car, destroyed millions in artwork, and her son deliberately injured my daughter with a wire.”

“I want them charged. No deals.”

The once–bold parents started to squirm.

But some still shouted. “Stand your ground! We’re protecting marriage here!”

“Right! We’re fighting for morality! Everyone supports us!”

The crowd cheered, boosting their fading courage.

The officer surveyed the damage, his expression darkening.

“Assault, vandalism, and child abuse in broad daylight?”

He started documenting evidence.
