Mr Melendez,Your Wife Wants Divorce Long ago novel Chapter 400

**Chapter 400**

Arabella felt a surge of determination as she spoke up, her voice steady despite the tension in the air. “Mr. Melendez,” she began, her tone laced with a hint of sarcasm, “if a scandal were to break revealing your esteemed grandson’s ‘defiance of the law by forcibly imprisoning his ex-wife,’ I can’t help but wonder how that might affect the stock prices of the Melendez Group?”

The expression on Chester’s face was a blend of shock and fury, rendering him momentarily speechless.

Arabella continued, her eyes narrowing slightly, “I trust that next time, you won’t be accusing me of seducing your son or dreaming of remarrying him just to claim a piece of the Melendez fortune, will you?”

Conrad Melendez shot her a glare that could have burned through steel, his teeth clenched in frustration. Deep down, he knew he was in the wrong, but the words to retaliate eluded him.

Kayla Kemp, standing beside Roderick Palmer, pointed a finger at Jayceon, her voice dripping with disdain. “How could we have been so blind as to allow our Arabella to marry a scumbag like you?” she spat, her anger palpable.

Jayceon felt a wave of numbness wash over him, as if he were floating above the chaos around him.

With heavy steps, he approached Kayla and Roderick, his head bowed in shame. “I’m sorry,” he murmured, the weight of regret bearing down on him.

Roderick, fueled by his protective instincts, shoved Jayceon away with a force that sent him stumbling backward. “If you have even an ounce of conscience left, keep your distance from our Arabella and never disturb her again!” he barked, his voice filled with righteous anger.

Tabitha, noticing the distress on her son’s face, hurried to his side. “The Melendez family has wronged Arabella,” she said, her voice thick with emotion. “I failed to raise my son properly. I sincerely apologize to you on his behalf.”

As the tension in the air thickened, Samuel caught Kimberly Melendez’s eye and gave her a knowing glance. “Arabella,” he said gently, “I’ll take you and your parents home to rest.”

Arabella nodded, grateful for the support, and turned to comfort her parents as they all left together.

Jayceon stood rooted to the spot, watching helplessly as Arabella climbed into the car, her figure receding from his life. “Arabella…” he whispered, his heart aching with longing.

Suddenly, a sharp sound echoed in the air. “Smack!”

Conrad’s hand connected with Jayceon’s face, the force of the slap making him stagger. Steve rushed forward, instinctively reaching out to support him.

Conrad’s finger jutted accusingly at Jayceon, his voice a thunderous roar. “For one woman, you’re willing to throw away everything? Are you under some dark spell?”

Tabitha stepped in, her voice earnest and pleading. “Jay, you’ve brought this situation upon yourself. If you two are not meant to be, let it end here. Stop creating chaos!”

Chester, who had been silently observing with a grim expression, finally spoke up, his voice low but firm. “This is becoming increasingly outrageous! Look at you. Do you even resemble the heir to the Melendez family anymore?”
