Filed to story: My Husband Regrets Divorcing Me (Audrey & Cornell)
So, no matter how angry Cornell was at the moment, it was incomparable with hers.
In the two years that they were together, Cornell still didn’t trust her at all.
He accused her of infidelity and even believed that the baby in her belly was not his just because of a piece of paper.
Did he even think of confirming it?
Now that her grandmother was gone, her baby was the only one left with Audrey to inspire and motivate her to continue to Live.
She couldn’t imagine a life without her baby. She might not be able to survive. Her relationship with Cornell was bound to be short-lived.
And since her baby had the Clement family’s bloodline, it would be very difficult for her to take it back if the Clement family took it from her.
So, although she didn’t know if this misdiagnosis was intentional, it had actually helped her.
All she wanted now was divorce. And the sooner, the better.
At the thought of this, Audrey looked at Cornell and said word by word without hesitation, “This baby is not yours.”
What she said was a heavy blow to Cornell.
At this moment, his chest felt so tight that he could hardly breathe.
His head hurt. It felt Like millions of ants were gnawing his brain, and the intense pain made his eyes turn crimson.
He found it utterly unacceptable.
How dare she do this to him!
Hatred slowly crept across Cornell’s dark eyes. He was so angry that he raised his hand and was about to hit her. It was as if he was losing his sanity.
But Audrey didn’t show even the slightest trace of fear. Instead, she looked straight into his eyes.
However, Cornell’s hand, filled with hatred, froze in the air.
Even though his pent-up anger had overflowed and drove him crazy, he couldn’t bring himself to hit her.
Cornell stared straight at Audrey. Aside from the rage and hostility in his eyes, there were also indescribable mixed emotions.
“”Audrey, do you really think I will let you get what you want? You wish!” Cornell said through clenched teeth. Then he picked Audrey up, carried her on his shoulder, and strode out.
Audrey’s stomach was squashed up against his bony shoulder. She was afraid of hurting her baby, so she didn’t dare to struggle. Instead, she pounded his back and shouted, “Cornell, you lunatic! Where are you taking me? Put me down!”
However, Cornell just turned a deaf ear to her. He walked to the car, opened the door, and pushed her in rudely. Then he restrained her tightly with the seat belt.
He hurriedly turned to the driver’s seat, started the car, and sped off like an arrow.
Audrey was thrown forward by the force of inertia. Fortunately, she was tightly tied up with a seat belt. But her face still turned pale as a sheet.
The black luxury car roared forward like the king of the road.
Cornell had no intention of slowing down at all.
Audrey instinctively closed her eyes and held the door handle tightly.
Her throat was so tight that she couldn’t make any sound.
The car drove straight to Serenity Villas. As soon as it came to a screeching halt, Cornell got out, picked her up and carried her in his arms. When they passed by the security room, he gave an instruction coldly.
“From now on, Mrs. Clement is not allowed to leave the Serenity Villas without my permission.”
Audrey’s face turned ashen upon hearing this. Cornell should lock her up!
The next moment, Audrey was thrown onto the soft bed. Then Cornell bent down and stretched his hands directly to her waist.
Audrey asked in a panic, “Cornell, what are you doing?”
The look on her face turned unpleasant. She instinctively raised her hand to slap him.
When the slap sound was heard in the room, Cornell was stunned.
The distance between them was very close. So, although Audrey didn’t use much strength, it was still a solid slap.
Cornell’s eyes darkened at once. He bent his legs, pushed her knees away, and grabbed her chin.
“What? You don’t even want to act in front of me now? Have you forgotten how many times you’ve screamed and begged me on this bed? It seemed that your lover hadn’t satisfied you. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be so lascivious.”
As he spoke, his tone was extremely demeaning. His words were humiliating and offensive.
It was like a ferocious beast was inside him, tearing apart his refined and cultured appearance and revealing his cruel and violent nature.
Audrey’s eyes were also burning with anger. She suddenly turned her head and bit his wrist hard.
Cornell groaned in pain. He took a deep breath, pinched her chin tightly, and said angrily, “Let go!”
But Audrey could no longer hear anything at this moment. It seemed she wouldn’t stop until she saw him bleeding.
Her teeth bit harder and harder until fresh red blood gushed out of his skin. It was only then that she finally let go.
When she raised her head, there was still a trace of blood on her soft lips. Her whole body trembled in anger.
She asked bitterly, “Cornell, I am dirty in your eyes, right? Why are you still disgusting yourself by touching me?”
Cornell’s handsome face darkened even more. He picked up her phone beside her and smashed it on the wall. It shattered and fell to the floor.
“What makes you think that I will still touch you after what I’ve found out?”
Audrey stared at her shattered phone on the floor, feeling like her heart was also the same.
The bitterness in her heart was almost overwhelming. She questioned, “Why do you still want to lock me up here? Since the baby in my belly is not yours, can’t we just divorce and go our separate ways?”
Cornell gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly.
“Audrey, are you so confident I won’t hurt you that you dare to betray me?”
Actually, Audrey didn’t understand why Cornell was so angry.
Wasn’t she nothing in his eyes? She didn’t even feel he loved her.
Wouldn’t it be favorable to him if they divorced? By then, he could be with the person he truly loved legitimately.
As for this unwarranted betrayal, he could naturally cover it up to keep it from the public. After all, he was a prominent figure in Ardlens.
Why didn’t he just let her go? Why must he torture her?
Audrey knew that fighting against Cornell head-on wouldn’t do her any good. So, she did her best to calm down and said, “Cornell, we both know Cecilia is waiting for our divorce. Since you love each other, I will fulfill your wish. Don’t worry. I won’t embarrass you. As long as you are willing to divorce, I will leave Ardlens with my baby. I promise to never appear in front of you for the rest of my life.”
When Cornell heard this, he felt like she had everything planned out.
And this made him even angrier.
He rubbed her lips hard with his fingertips, wiping away the irritating red blood. Then he sneered coldly.
“So, you want to divorce and have a happy ever after with your lover? Well, let’s see if he can take away the woman I used safe and sound.”
After saying this, Cornell made a phone call in front of Audrey. He ordered coldly, “Check everything about Henley Brooks. He is an employee of AT investment bank. I want all his records during the past year. Then, send someone to follow him around the clock. Never allow him to leave Ardlens.”
Audrey panicked upon hearing this.
She only provoked and angered Cornell to make him agree to the divorce. This was her only goal. After all, she was confident he couldn’t find any evidence about her so-called affairs. How could he find something that didn’t exist?
Cornell was an arrogant man. So, he couldn’t accept that she was pregnant with someone else’s child. That was why she used this to irritate him and make him decide to divorce her.
Audrey thought he would only deal with her. She didn’t expect him to turn his anger to Henley.
So she said, “Cornell, this baby has nothing to do with Henley. Can you stop implicating other people?”
However, Cornell just ignored her words. He turned around and left directly.
Audrey was left there alone, feeling flustered. She knew Cornell. Now that he was angry, she couldn’t imagine what outrageous things he could do to Henley.
From Serenity Villas, Cornell went straight to the bar.
When he arrived there, Luis had already opened a bottle of wine.
Cornell picked up a glass and motioned at Luis to fill it with wine.
Then he drank three glasses in a row without saying anything.
After putting down the glass, Cornell looked at Luis and asked, “Where are my pills?”
