Chapter 136: A Family of Villains
Robert’s expression was icy as he thought of Emily’s youth and beauty, her gentle and considerate nature. Then, he compared it to Brianna’s aging face, which makeup could no longer conceal, her knack for causing trouble, and the son who had killed his sister in a supermarket. The thought alone made his heart grow cold.
Mrs. Jones had returned this time, and Robert wasn’t sure if she had witnesses. But even if she didn’t, as a victim of human trafficking, the media would surely sensationalize her tragic story!
If that happened, Davis Group would be mired in negative press just the same.
"Honey, don’t believe Mrs. Jones. That bitch... there’s no way she has witnesses. If she did, she wouldn’t need to call and threaten me like this! Honey, please don’t divorce me, please!" Brianna cried, clinging to him.
Robert, breathing heavily, shoved Brianna away with force. "You fool, all you ever do is create problems. You’ve never done a single thing that benefits me! This divorce is happening, no doubt about it!"
Overwhelmed with anger, Robert wanted nothing more than to leave this repulsive woman.
Back when Brianna poisoned Isabella, Robert discovered it too late—Isabella was already beyond saving, the poison had done its work. At the time, Brianna was young and beautiful, and he was tempted, so he covered for her.
But he never expected that after all these years, Mrs. Jones would emerge as a witness!
"Honey... don’t do this. If you dare divorce me, I’ll expose how you covered up for me back then!" Brianna screamed frantically as she watched Robert’s cold figure walk away, but he paid her no attention, disappearing from her sight.
Brianna, realizing this, broke down in tears, covering her face. Hannah sat beside her, gasping for breath, her face pale. "Mom, stop crying... crying won’t solve anything! We should try to contact Mrs. Jones, see if she’s willing to settle this privately."
Hannah’s words snapped Brianna out of her despair. She quickly pulled out her phone, and upon turning it on, received several texts from Mrs. Jones.
