Chapter 67
Chapter 67
The whole corridor becomes silent. Callen and his mom seemed to be dumbfounded.
Callen narrows his eyes, grits his teeth and shouts in a low voice, "Maisy, why did you do this to me? Have I been bad to you?"
Maisy laughs again. "You think you're good to me? After all I've done for you, what do I get in return?"
There's a trace of grievance in her words, which puzzles me.
Callen puts his career in front of everything. He was not supposed to be unkind to Maisy for the sake of his career. So what does Maisy mean by that? It's really confusing.
At this time, Wendy, who desperately wants a grandson, starts to diffuse the tension. "This is my fault. Don't blame Callen."
"Stop lying to me! I know what you're thinking. Callen, I really regret being with you. You and that b*tch Chelsea are perfect for each other! You were supposed to be poor all your life!" Maisy yells with anger.
"You've always wanted to be at the top of the
company, right? Let me tell you, it's impossible, because you don't deserve it!"
As soon as she finishes her words, Callen steps forward and slaps her in the face.
Maisy's stunned. She covers her face in a daze. Wendy steps forward and stands between them. "Maisy, are you alright? Callen didn't mean it. Don't get mad at him."
"Mom, stop it. I want to divorce her!" Callen looks furious.
Wendy immediately panicked and apologizes to Maisy. "I'm really sorry, Maisy. It's normal for couples to fight. Please don't be angry or tell your parents about this. He's your husband, and you should always be on his side." Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Wendy's words make me sick. She sounds like she's apologizing, but she's actually threatening Maisy. Maisy's parents might be angry with her if they knew that she and her husband were estranged.
Would Maisy compromise? I think she would.
"D*mned b*tch, get the hell out of here!" Maisy pushes Wendy away and shouts harshly while pointing at them, "Callen, stop dreaming about a son. As long as I'm alive, you won't have a son!"
"Do I have to have a child with you? You're not the only woman in the world." Callen sneers.
"You want to go to Chelsea? Hilarious. Do you think she'll ever forgive you?"
Callen glares at Maisy. "It's none of your business!"
Harrison gives me a sudden squeeze on the shoulder. I look up and see his unhappy face. I put my hand on his, indicating him not to be impulsive.
In fact, I don't know why he's angry. But my intuition tells me it's because of me.
I didn't expect to see Callen and Maisy fighting tonight. It turns out they're really close to getting a divorce.
Maisy is too proud to accept being divorced, so she must be extremely furious now. I don't know why she said Callen wouldn't have a son. I remember she was carrying a baby when I was pregnant.
She and Callen aren't living a happy life after they hurt me, but it doesn't make me feel better. Everyone is pathetic. I don't think they expected things to turn out like this.
"Callen, what if Chelsea knew her mother's death had something to do with us?" Maisy asks with an evil smile.
All of a sudden, I raise my head to look at Maisy. Throwing out all the random thoughts in my head, I run straight to her.
Callen and Wendy try to stop me, but it doesn't work. I grab Maisy's shoulders with both hands and ask, "What did you say? My mother's death has something to do with you? Answer me!"
I shake her body vigorously and ask in a loud voice.
At present, there's only one thought in my heart. My mom's death is not an accident. She must have run a red light for a reason.
Maisy's made it clear that they're involved in this matter. Even if they didn't kill my mom, they are not innocent!
Maisy doesn't answer my question but looks at me with a smile. "Chelsea, why are you here at this hour? Are you here to have sex with my husband?"
"Don't change the subject." I take a deep breath. "You said my mother's death had something to do with you. What do you mean? Did you kill my mother?"
"Let me go, you crazy b*tch!" Maisy roars and pushes me away hard.
I lost my balance and fall backwards. I want to grab hold of Maisy, but I can't.
"Are you alright? Do you want to go to the hospital?"
When I open my eyes, I see Harrison looking at me worriedly and I'm in his arms. I shake my head.
"Wow, Chelsea, why don't you introduce your boyfriend to me and your ex- husband? I wonder what he'll do when he knows your relationship with Callen," Maisy says loudly with pride.
I struggle to get up and Harrison tries to calm me down. Then, he turns around and looks at Maisy. "I don't think she needs to introduce me to you."
"Mr-Mr. Stewart? Why are you here?" Maisy asks in panic.
I don't quite understand why she is so scared. Maybe it's because she knows how powerful Harrison is.
As they speak, I walk up to Callen and Wendy. I stare fixedly at Callen and ask word by word, "What on earth did she mean by that?"
Callen looks at me without saying anything.
There's a vague answer in my heart. T m gonna ask you one more time. What exactly did she mean by that? If you refuse to say anything, I'll see you in hell!"
After that, I take out the knife from my bag and point it at Callen.
