Filed to story: My Husband Regrets Divorcing Me (Audrey & Cornell)
Before Matteo could realize what was going on, he was already pulled out of the car, and Cornell replaced him in the driver’s seat.
Matteo was left with no choice but to watch Cornell through the car window. Cornell’s face was as attractive as a painting. But it was hard to tell his plans after taking the driver’s seat from his expression, though his eyes were full of fierceness.
Before Matteo could recover from the shock, another shocking thing happened.
A loud bang almost broke his eardrums.
It broke through the silent, dark night.
It turned out that Cornell’s black Bentley rushed out like a cheetah and crashed into the gray Mercedes-Benz without hesitation.
The airbag inflated after the collision.
The rear of the gray Mercedes-Benz was smashed. It was pushed forward for more than two hundred meters, and it didn’t stop until it hit the railing.
Fortunately, the car had an advanced driver-assistance system.
Otherwise, it would have turned over.
Contrary to the gray Mercedes-Benz, the black Bentley didn’t suffer any major damage. Only the front bumper fell off.
Everything happened too fast.
Audrey was too stunned to move. Her hands and feet were cold and sweating profusely. Her legs were so weak that she felt she couldn’t stand.
At this moment, the distorted door of the Mercedes-Benz opened.
Then Henley got out slowly. While he staggered, he reached out and touched his forehead. Blood flowed out from the back of his hand. It was hard to tell where it exactly came from.
After a few seconds, Audrey finally recovered from the shock. She rushed to Henley and held his arm, wanting to say something.
However, her hands and lips were still trembling. She couldn’t utter even a single word.
When Henley saw Audrey’s pale face, he touched the back of her hand to comfort her.
He forced a smile and said, “Audrey, calm down, okay? I’m fine.
Don’t worry about me.”
The only visible injury on Henley’s body was the scratches on his arm caused by the shattered glass during the violent impact. No one knew whether he had any other injuries.
At this moment, the door of the Bentley was also opened.
Cornell got out and walked toward them with a cold expression. And when he saw Audrey and Henley hand in hand, his face darkened.
He ordered overbearingly, “Audrey, come here!”
However, Audrey didn’t move. She looked at him with a bloodless face and shouted indignantly, “Cornell, what is going on with you? Are you out of your mind?”
However, Cornell was already fuming with anger. He suddenly pulled Audrey to his side without saying anything.
Then he looked at Henley and said coldly, “I told you to stay away from my wife, but you didn’t listen to me. You’re courting death.”
Every word he said was full of killing intent.
Henley looked extremely pale because of the crash. But there was no trace of fear on his face at all. He met Cornell’s eyes and asked in a low voice, “Do you really care about Audrey?”
“Does it have anything to do with you, huh? Henley Brooks, don’t think I won’t kill you because your family is related to my grandmother. Audrey is my woman. If this happens again, I won’t be as good-tempered as today.”
Cornell’s cold eyes were as sharp as a knife. He glared at Henley and Audrey fiercely as if his gaze could sever the connection between them.
Audrey was a little surprised. She didn’t expect that Cornell and Henley were distant relatives. However, it was not what mattered now.
For her, what Cornell did was really insane and unreasonable.
At the thought of this, she pushed Cornell hard.
“Cornell, you are going too far!”
Cornell was caught off guard and staggered half a step back.
Then Audrey went over to support Henley. She looked at him with eyes full of concern and asked worriedly, “Henley, are you okay? I’ll take you to the hospital.”
But Henley refused and comforted her, “Don’t worry, I’m fine. Aside from the little scratches on my arm, everything else is fine. I don’t need to go to the hospital.”
While watching the interaction between Henley and Audrey, anger surged in Cornell’s heart. He felt the urge to skin Henley alive at this very moment.
“Audrey, come here!”
His chilly voice sounded terrifying.
Audrey didn’t want to talk with Cornell anymore. She thought he had really gone out of his mind. She was worried about Henley’s condition, so she adjusted her expression and patiently explained, “Cornell, Henley is only taking me home. Do you really need to…”
But before she could finish her words, Cornell suddenly pulled her hard into his arms and bit her lips. It was as if he was punishing her.
“Hmm…
Audrey froze, and her eyes widened in shock.
Cornell must really be crazy! How could he do this to her in front of Henley?
Audrey struggled desperately. But Cornell’s grip was too firm, locking her hands and waist firmly. And the more she struggled, the crazier he was.
It was as if Cornell didn’t care about anyone or anything around them. His kiss went even fiercer. The tip of his tongue penetrated her mouth forcefully. She felt like her lips were about to be crushed by his intense kiss.
Even Matteo, who had been watching from the side, felt too awkward to see them kissing anymore.
He could no longer stand watching, so he turned to Henley and said politely, “Mr. Brooks, we are fully responsible for this accident. So please allow me to take you to the hospital.”
Henley frowned upon hearing this. Of course, he didn’t want to leave Audrey alone with Cornell. He was afraid that she would be bullied by Cornell.
Matteo must have understood Henley’s hesitation. He smiled and said, “Mr. Brooks, Mr. Clement and Mrs. Clement always argue with each other, but it’s nothing serious. As an outsider, you’d better not get involved. It’s a family affair, so let them deal with it themselves.
Besides, it’s not a good thing to provoke Mr. Clement, right?”
Henley didn’t say anything. It was hard to tell his emotions behind his misty glasses. He looked at Cornell and Audrey for a moment, turned around, and left.
Cornell only let go of Audrey when he heard Henley’s car drive away.
Audrey was so angry that her whole body trembled. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. Then she raised her hand without hesitation to slap Cornell.
But before her hand could touch him, he grabbed her wrist in time.
He stared at her with cold eyes as if he wanted to devour her.
He had already warned her not to hit him for other men. Had she forgotten it already?
Cornell gritted his teeth and said harshly, “Audrey, are you really this hungry for this man? It has only been a few hours, but you already can’t wait to see him?”
Cornell’s words were like a sharp knife piercing Audrey’s heart.
Mixed emotions of anger and pain overwhelmed her. Her entire body couldn’t stop shaking.
When Cornell saw Audrey’s pale face, he had already realized that what he said was inappropriate. But the scene of her seemingly intimate moments with Henley just now kept rewinding in his mind.
And he found it very unacceptable. For him, Audrey could only belong to him.
He would never allow other men to touch her, let alone take her.
What Cornell said only made Audrey hate him. She was painful and aggrieved at the same time. Her eyes turned red, and she shouted angrily, “What did you just say? I am a cheap woman? Yes, you’re right! I am cheap!”
Audrey now admitted that she was cheap. If not, how could she be reluctant to break up with Cornell even though she found out about his relationship with Cecilia?
And how could she be flustered and indecisive after Cornell gave her just a little sweetness and tenderness?
How could she be so easily fooled by him?
Audrey wiped the tears off her angry face.
“Cornell, from now on, I won’t care about this damn marriage anymore. And I will never have anything to do with you after the forthcoming divorce.”
Yet, her words further angered Cornell. Choked by fury momentarily, he responded to her with just a snort.
“Are you going to sever ties with me because of Henley?”
After saying this, Cornell suddenly approached Audrey, grabbed her chin, and said fiercely, “Don’t even dream about it. You are mine.
I will never allow anyone to get close to you.”
Audrey was so furious that she reached out to hit Cornell again.
