Chapter 22
After a few bouts of cold, freezing rain for the past few days, the temperature in Seaworth City suddenly rose exponentially. There were plenty of people at the hospital.
Emma barged into Larry’s ward with a thunderous expression. “Larry Barton, let me tell you that we are getting divorced whether you like it or not!”
How dare he threaten her? Did he really think that she was so weak and spineless that he could walk all over her? Well, he was
wrong!
If she could turn back time, she really wanted to go back to that night and smash a few more beer bottles in his head.
Larry leaned back in bed with his head still in bandages. He still had a carefree attitude until he heard what Emma said. Then, his
face darkened.
Giselle entered the ward a short while later. When Larry saw her, he got even angrier.
“Emma Jones! I knew that you were colluding with Giselle all along!” He was so angry that his voice trembled.
Emma laughed coldly. “Don’t spit accusations just for the sake of it. What, was I the one who told Charlotte to throw herself at
you? That’s enough yakking. Sign the divorce papers now!”
Then, she slammed down the divorce agreement she had prepared beforehand and presented it to him.
Larry gripped the papers and said through gritted teeth, “Did Giselle tell you to do this?”
Giselle was speechless. She hadn’t even done anything wrong. Larry’s response was as expected from Jonathan’s best friend.
They would never think that they were the problem whenever issues came up–they always needed to blame it on somebody else.
Giselle just retorted in a mocking tone, “Oh, but if you hadn’t cheated, do you think Ems would have wanted to divorce you?”
“Giselle Stone! Who cheated on whom? Get your facts straight!” Larry exclaimed anxiously. His eyes even turned red.
He pulled his covers off and tried to get out of bed, but Emma pushed him back into bed by force.
“Sign this!”
“Emma!”
Emma and Larry glared at each other fiercely. The tension in the air rose a hundredfold.
Giselle watched from the sidelines and spoke up just then. “Larry, if you dare to get your family to bother me, then I don’t mind
getting the Bartons into even more trouble.”
The document that Chester gave her was a huge secret, after all. If she exposed them, the Bartons would be set to lose at least
billions of dollars!

Also, Larry wasn’t the head of the Barton family. If he caused the family to lose out on so much money, she figured that they
would probably even castrate him..
Larry seethed with anger. His knuckles cracked as he clenched his fists tightly. “Fine! Brilliant! No wonder Jonathan dumped your
ass!”
Giselle retorted calmly, “Nope. I was the one who dumped his ass.”
It was true that she used to like him. However, it was also true that she didn’t like him anymore.
Just as she said that, Jonathan suddenly pushed the door open and walked in. His face was thunderous. He may or may not have heard what Giselle had just said.
“Giselle Stone! How could you still show your face so shamelessly in public?”
The first thing he did was to attack her with his accusations. It was as if they were sworn enemies for years.
This was the first time Jonathan realized how mean and brutal Giselle could be. But what good was it anyway? She still couldn’t get over him. Charlotte’s injuries from last night were more than enough proof of that. She had only blocked all of his contacts
because it was her last resort.
The frustration Jonathan felt eased up a little when he thought about this
“Why wouldn’t I show my face in public?” Giselle asked, shooting him a cold look. She found it amusing.
This man was wearing a button–up shirt. There were still splatters of dried blood on his collar and sleeves, and his eyebags were fairly visible. Obviously, he had been with Charlotte the entire night.
So, this was what drew the line between someone who was loved and someone who wasn’t.
A self–deprecating ghost of a smile appeared on Giselle’s lips. Her eyes twinkled slightly.
When she had been with Jonathan, he had taken such good care of her as if worried that she might break at the snap of a finger. Even if she caught a regular cold, he would be worried sick for the whole day.
