Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 195 - 195: You Hit Me

Savannah turned pale. She only knew that Susan broke them up, but never thought she used such a vicious method!

She had sympathy for Susan before; after all, Susan was betrayed by her husband. But now, all she wanted to say was Susan deserved it!

Old Sterling's eyebrows were slightly wrinkled when he heard that his daughter used this method to win a man.

"The marriage with Susan is completely a mistake," Henley continued, "though frequently scolded and beaten by her, I never resist against her these years. But Donna had been lived a miserable life since she was forced to marry that man! She endured years of domestic violence, got pregnant several times but was beaten to abortion… A year ago, she became pregnant again. Luckily, that gangster died in a fight. Donna was finally relieved. She left her hometown and found work in LA. Then we met again. I feel sorry for her. It's my entire fault to make her suffer all her life! That's why I've been taking care of her, using my salary to keep her out of work, to keep her in labor, to give her the best place to live. Donna refused me at first because I'm married now. But I insisted because I feel guilty. She was forced to accept my financial support! I'm not Susan, I have a conscience! Donna and I have never had an affair; we're innocent. I just want to make up for her."

All people were shocked.

Savannah stood still. Donna's baby was not Henley's.

Donna wasn't a mistress, and Henley never cheated on Susan.

She misunderstood Donna and Henley.

In the hospital, Donna said the baby's father didn't show up because he had some troubles.

It wasn't that. Donna wanted to say that her ex-husband was a nasty gangster. She didn't want to mention him and didn't want to recall her shameful marriage.

Henley and Donna were just two poor love-birds at the mercy of an unruly rich lady!

It was Susan's fault!

"Forget it." Donna pulled Henley and swallowed the tears in her eyes.

"Henley is right," said Donna to old Sterling, "this baby belongs to my late husband, and I did nothing with Henley. If you don't believe me, you can check the baby's DNA at any time. Sorry, starting today, I'm not going to see Henley again."

Susan was blushed and embarrassed when her husband revealed her past evildoing, but she was relieved when he told her that he had nothing to do with Donna. She bore the pain in her face and took Henley's hand carefully, "Henley, let's go back."

Henley, however, had been driven to despair by her. Tonight, he was not a coward, and he was brave enough to pull his hand out of his wife.

He went to Donna and held her hand. "I will go with you." Then he turned to Susan, "let's get a divorce. I've had it all these years."

With that, Henley walked away with Donna and her daughter.

Susan froze for a moment, unable to believe what she heard.

Divorce?

Was Henley even asking for a divorce?

Was he the same cowardly man who never disobeyed her orders?

"Henley, are you sure you want to divorce me? If you leave me, you will leave the house with nothing! And from now on, you will not be a member of the Sterling family. You will become a poor wretch!" Susan came to her senses and shouted behind their backs.

Henley, however, had made up his mind. He just kept walking forward.

Susan screamed at the top of her voice, "Henley, what do you mean? Leave me and go with this woman? This woman's already married. She's no longer your pure and beautiful first lover, and her child is not yours! Are you going to raise another person's child? You want to abandon your own son and me?"

Henley stopped. Susan thought that he regretted; she saw him turn his head slowly, his voice cold as a knife.

"Yes, I'd rather have someone else's child than see you again. In the coming days, no matter how poor I would be, I will take good care of Donna and her daughter to make up for all she had suffered these years."

After that, Henley turned and left without a backward glance.

"No!" Susan, in a panic, rushed forward and seized Henley by his arm, crying, "Henley! I know I was wrong! Don't divorce me, don't go --"

Henley turned away in disgust, threw Susan's hand away, and took off with Donna without looking back again.

Susan stood still and watched her husband walk away, tears running down her face. She didn't look like a noble rich lady now, but she didn't care.

Savannah felt a little sorry for Susan to see her like this. But she just got what she deserved, not worthy of sympathy.

Did she believe she would end up as she had today when she sent someone to assault Donna and left her in a painful marriage?

Now that Henley was driven to the wall and made his mind to leave, it was beyond retrieval.

Old Sterling frowned and glanced at Cooper.

Cooper immediately walked up to Susan. "Mrs. Yontz, let's go back first."

Susan reacted, rushing to old Sterling, shaking his hand hard and crying. "Dad! You have to help me! Help me call back Henley... Do whatever you can, with a carrot or stick…And drive that woman away from the city! No, that's not enough. She and her child must die! Although she did nothing with Henley, nothing would happen if it were not for her!"

With the status and power of the Sterling family, it was easy to kill an unknown woman and a baby!

This thought gave Susan another glimmer of hope!

Hearing this, Savannah's little pity on her turned into disgust.

Susan was so selfish and overbearing that she planned to get her man back in this way after ruining an innocent woman's life?

"Crack" --

A clear slap came on Susan's jaw!

Susan put her face in her hands and stared in disbelief at old Sterling, murmuring, "dad… You hit me... Why?"

The slap made Savannah in a better mood.

"Why did I slap you? You are so wicked that you even sent a rascal to assault the girl in order to get her man? And you forced a marriage? Oh, I can't believe I have a daughter like you! What's the difference between the Sterlings and those low-level bastards if I help you with this? I always thought you are just self-willed because of being over spoiled. But I've never thought you are so malicious!" Old Sterling took a deep breath to calm down, "Cooper, take Mrs. Yontz into the house. She will live in the Sterling's house from today. Arrange the room next to mine for her. She's not allowed to go out without my consent!"
