Filed to story: My Husband Regrets Divorcing Me (Audrey & Cornell)
But she didn’t pity them at all. These wicked people were cunning.
They had been helping Sariah, and she didn’t know how many people had suffered at their hands. They only deserved such retribution.
At this moment, Sariah could no longer suppress her anger. With a flushed face, she thumped the table with her hand and shouted, “You…
How dare you!”
She was so angry that she coughed violently. She couldn’t say anything more.
The bodyguards had already dragged those maids out of the room.
Cornell ignored Sariah. He didn’t care about her attitude at all. His focus was on Tessa currently. He stared at her coldly.
Even the atmosphere in the room seemed to have drastically dropped because of his cold gaze.
Tessa lowered her head. She couldn’t afford to meet Cornell’s gaze.
Finally, she understood what he meant by his words.
Since Cornell had finished dealing with the maids, she was next.
She thought Cornell was crazy.
Tessa was so scared that she immediately hid behind Sariah. She thought Sariah could be her shield because no matter how arrogant Cornell was, he wouldn’t dare to hurt Sariah.
If he dared to beat Sariah, and the news about it spread outside, he would be criticized by the public as an ungrateful person.
At this moment, Sariah stopped coughing. Her face darkened, and she looked terrible at the moment.
Cornell dared to disable her maids in front of her. He even attempted to hurt her granddaughter.
Sariah found Cornell’s arrogance very unacceptable.
Sariah looked at Cornell and said solemnly, “Cornell, Tessa is your cousin! Are you going to hurt her because of that woman?”
“Yes, I never forget that she is my cousin.”
Cornell didn’t refute Sariah.
Sariah felt a little relieved. She opened her mouth and was about to continue her words.
But before she could speak, Cornell stared at Tessa with piercing eyes and said coldly, “I will give you two options. First, I will also break your hands. Second, slap yourself until your face is red and swollen. Your choice.”
For Cornell, he was already kind enough to give Tessa a choice.
Otherwise, Tessa would end up like those wicked maids.
Tessa was too dumbfounded to react for a while.
Then she grabbed Sariah’s arm tightly and cried fearfully, “Grandma, please help me.”
Sariah was so angry that she almost fainted. She thought Cornell was going too far.
She threw a teacup at Cornell and scolded, “You bastard! How dare you disrespect your elder!”
The teacup broke into pieces, and the tea inside splashed onto Cornell’s feet.
Cornell lowered his head and looked at his feet. His eyes also caught sight of the wooden bracelet on the floor. Then he looked up and stared at the bruise on Audrey’s forehead.
Something seemed to dawn on him.
His eyes turned cold. He looked at the bodyguards and ordered, “Go tell my grandfather and great-grandfather that Mrs. Lloyd is suffering from dementia. She can’t recognize anyone. She must be sent to a sanatorium right away.”
“Cornell, How dare you!” Sariah shouted furiously.
Sariah was only in her early sixties. In fact, she was eight years younger than Luciana’s father. This was her time to enjoy herself.
She was not sick at all. How could she let Cornell lock her up in the sanatorium? How could he make such a decision within the Lloyd residence?
Sariah snapped, “Your wife disrespected me and broke my favorite vase.
So I taught her a lesson. What is wrong with it?”
Hearing that, Cornell chuckled.
“”Audrey is my wife, so I naturally dote on her. I allow her to do whatever she wants. Even if she smashes the entire place, I won’t stop her.”
As soon as he said this, Sariah and Tessa panicked. The expression on their faces drastically changed.
They had assumed Audrey was nothing to Cornell. They didn’t expect him to value Audrey this much.
How could it be possible? Wasn’t Cecilia the woman Cornell Loved?
Tessa was in utter disbelief.
She had seen how Cornell spoiled Cecilia all these years. He was always there for Cecilia. In fact, she was even envious of Cecilia because she thought Cornell doted on Cecilia.
Hearing his words, Audrey also raised her head and looked at Cornell.
At this moment, she could see his sharp and angular side face under the Light. He looked delicate and handsome.
Her heartbeat went so fast that she quickly looked away.
It was her first time hearing Cornell say those words. He would allow her to smash the entire place? Could he really indulge her that much?
Cornell looked into Sariah’s eyes and said harshly, “She’s my wife, so leave her alone. Just mind your own business!”
Audrey’s heart did a flip.
She realized that Cornell only defended her because she was a member of the Clement family. Bullying her was equivalent to going against the Clement family.
Naturally, Cornell couldn’t allow it to happen.
Sariah was so angry that her hands couldn’t stop from shaking. She cursed, “You brat! Do you still remember who I am? Let me remind you.
I am your grandmother, you bastard!”
Cornell sneered, “Grandmother? Mrs. Lloyd, let me also remind you. My grandmother passed away a long time ago. Who are you?”
Sariah’s face distorted with anger. All these years, she never heard Cornell call her grandma. Indeed, he never recognized her as his grandmother.
But it was an undeniable fact. She and Cornell were not related by blood since she was Luciana’s stepmother. So, Cornell had enough reason not to regard her as a family.
He must be influenced by Luciana, who never accepted her all these years.
Soon, the bodyguard who went to inform Cornell’s grandfather and great-grandfather about Sariah’s sickness returned. This time, Luciana had rushed over.
As soon as Luciana saw Audrey’s pitiful appearance, she immediately lost her temper.
She asked angrily, “Audrey, who did this to you?”
Before Audrey could say anything, Luciana caught sight of Tessa hiding behind Sariah. She didn’t need to hear a word from Audrey to understand everything.
So she didn’t wait for Audrey’s answer anymore. She rushed forward, grabbed Tessa’s hair, and dragged her to the front.
Tessa felt like her scalp was about to break. She was so scared that she kept calling her mother’s name. But unfortunately, Kenia was not here.
However, Luciana didn’t intend to show mercy.
A series of crisp slap sounds echoed in the room. Luciana slapped Tessa in the face mercilessly.
She didn’t stop until she slapped Tessa ten times.
Tessa collapsed on the floor. Her eyes were dull, and her hair was disheveled. She covered her red and swollen face with both hands.
At this moment, the bodyguard stepped forward and reported, “Mr. Clement, your grandfather and great-grandfather said that it’s all up to you to decide.”
The expression on Sariah’s face drastically changed. She yelled, “No, that’s impossible! I want to see them in person. Take me to them!”
But the bodyguards didn’t give Sariah a chance at all. Instead, they dragged her out of the room directly under Cornell’s orders.
Actually, Luciana’s father didn’t want to come to the scene at all.
He didn’t want to get involved.
After all, the future of the company was at stake here. If he were to choose between Sariah and the company, he would choose the latter without hesitation.
Sariah kept cursing while the bodyguards dragged her out.
But Cornell just ignored her as if he didn’t hear anything. He bent down, picked Audrey up, and carried her out of the room.
