Chapter 51
Chapter 51
Megan’s wish was simple heal her father’s illness, rescue her brother from the clutches of despair, and start anew as a family.
Fate, however was not so kind
Neither was Sullivan!
That night, while performing at Regal Bolt, Megan received an urgent call from Lucia. “Megan, get to the hospital quick! There’s been trouble!”
Achill shot through Megan’s spine.
“What happened?” she asked, her voice trembling
Lucia hesitated before speaking in a hushed tone, “Cora
a and Cressida had a blowout. It’s a mess;
yourself, Cora might be taken away.”
The phone slipped from Megan’s hands.
the cops
are involved. Prepare
Timothy drove Megan to the hospital, fortunately, it wasn’t too far. They arrived at the chaotic scene within half an hour
But Megan was too late. By the time she got there, Com had already been taken away
The place was still in disarray, with the Baldwin family making a scene. Dahlia was wailing, holding her daughter’s scalded arm, lamenting about her beauty being ruined and vowing to make Cora pay with years behind bars. Caleb Baldwin stood by, silent and brooding
To Megan’s surprise, Sullivan also showed up, with Bianca in tow.
The moment he arrived, Cressida threw herself into his arms vulnerably.
Dahlia’s tears flowed anew. “With her leg already giving her trouble and now her arm scared, how’s our little darling supposed to live the rest of her life?
A nurse chimed in, “We need to treat that wound quickly, or there will be scars.”
Cressidas wheelchair was broken, Despite pushing with all her might, it wouldn’t budge!
Sullivan bent down to lift her, intending to place her on a stretcher, but as he looked up, his eyes met Megan’s
Megan blinked slowly. She watched her husband cradle another woman with tender care. Clearly, faced with a choice between his wife and his mistress, he chose the latter
Sullivan’s gaze was locked on Megan.
For a long moment, she remained silent.
Suddenly, Sullivan bypassed the stretcher, instead, he carried Cressida straight into the elevator.
Cressida, in pain, found satisfaction in her vanity. She nestled against Sullivari’s chest and shot Megan a triumphant smile.
Whispers spread among the onlookers.
“How romantic, like a prince and his princess
“Look, being the legitimate wife means nothing if there’s true love!”
I bet hell divorce her
Joumalists swarmed the scene, and Megan felt the sting of public humiliation as if slapped across the face
Seeing her daughter’s prevailing over, Dahlia struck Megan without relent, “if anything happens to our girl, I’ll make your wicked stepmother pay!”
The slap was meant for Megan’s cheek.
It might not have hurt much, but it was a wake–up call. It underscored the ridicule of Megan’s past efforts and the cruelty of her three–year marriage of endurance.
Meanwhile, the elevator doors slowly closed with Sullivan holding Cressida.
Sullivan’s expression was dark and inscrutable
Megan stood motionless. She realized the dire consequences of being unloved were truly humiliating!
Inside the elevator, even Bianca sensed something was
12:03 1
Megan was still Mrs Lowry, after all. Cressida’s mother daring to slap her was outrageous. Blanca, knowing Sullivan better than anyone, glanced at him.
Sullivan was expressionless
Cressida coord, “Sullivan!”
Sullivan glanced at Caleb, who had enough sense to offer to take his daughter, “Let me carry her. No need to trouble you, Mr. Lowry”
Cressida caught in her pride, was displeased, “Dad“”
Sullivan simply replied, “Sure”
As he let go, whether by accident or Caleb’s misstep, Cressida fell hard onto the ground. Her surgically repaired leg snapped, and the scalded skin on her arm tore open, leaving a gruesome wound
Sweat beaded on Cressida’s forehead from the pain.
Caleb scrambled to lift his daughter.
Sullivan looked down, his voice cold, Tve got business to attend to at the company. I’m leaving”
When the elevator doors opened, he walked out
Bianca humed after him
Behind them, Cressida whined, “Mr. Lowry! Mr. Lowry…”
Caleb, holding his daughter, sighed softly. “Darling, did we go too far? You framed Mrs. Quigley, and your mother slapped Miss Quigley…. What if Mr. Lowry doesn’t marry you? What then?”
Cressida seethed with resentment. “There’s no way I can’t hold on to Sullivan’s heart.”
Lucia returned from the
e police station just in
station just in time to see Megan getting slapped.
Known for her fiery temper, Lucia didn’t care about negotiation leverage. She lunged at Cressida’s mother, raining blows and curses, “You think you can slap Megan? You’re nothing but trash, and your daughter, a whore who spread her legs for Sullivan, Your whole family isn’t worthy of Megan’s shoes!”
Dahlia could bully the meek but was no match for Lucia’s ferocity. Within moments, Dahlia’s face resembled a battered pig, pitiful to behold. She threatened to sue Lucia.
Lucia kicked her in the ribs, “Go ahead, sue me! I’m right here. If you don’t, I’ll make sure your other cheek matches!”
Dahlia was relying on Sullivan’s support to be brazen
That’s when Timothy stepped in. He pulled Lucia back and calmly asked Dahlia. “What if I disable you right now? How many years do you think Id get?”
