Abandoned Super Cutie Adopted by Billionaire Clan novel Chapter 279

Karen knew that if she tried to persuade him, he definitely wouldn’t listen.

He might even react the same way he did a few days ago, accusing her of siding with the Holmes family and getting angry enough to hit her.

In short, once Carlson set his mind on something, no one could change it. He was stubborn and arrogant to the core

But Karen couldn’t bear to see her children ruined. The best solution was to completely distance themselves from Carlson before his plan began.

She would leave with her children. The affairs of the Jones family would no longer have anything to do with her.

She knew that in her current situation, getting a divorce would be difficult. But for the sake of her children, she would do it no matter how hard it was.

After making up her mind, she immediately took Hope out and bought the small apartment she had seen a few days ago

It couldn’t compare to the current villa, but it was big enough for her and two children.

She discussed it with Hope in advance. As for Kevin, he was at school, so she didn’t tell him.

Karen waited until the evening. When Carlson came back, he entered the study as usual and told the housekeeper not to let anyone disturb him.

But this time she followed him in.

Carlson was about to close the study door when Karen stepped forward and stopped him.

She said, “Wait a minute, I need to talk to you.”

The moment he saw her, Carlson frowned, feeling irritated.

As for what Karen said, he didn’t want to listen at all.

He said. “Don’t waste my time. I’m busy.”

After that, he tried to close the door. He didn’t expect Karen to block the door firmly, with a determined look on her face that he had never seen before.

Karen said, “Five minutes is enough”

Carlson finally let her in. Perhaps it was her determined look that surprised him, prompting him to want to hear what she would say.

Meeting Carlson’s inquisitive gaze, Karen took a deep breath, suppressing her trembling voice to appear composed.

She continued, “My family may not be as wealthy or influential as the Jones family, but I refuse to tolerate your abuse. You show me no respect.

Carlson’s initial curiosity faded as he listened to her words, replaced by a sense of boredom.

He asked. “Just because of that?” He settled into his chair, leaning back with a sigh. “So? What do you want?”

“I want a divorce.

Silence descended upon the study for a few seconds after she uttered those trembling words.

Chapter 279

Carlson straightened up, leaning forward in disbelief. It was as if the thought had never crossed his mind

“A divorce?” he echoed “Karen, have you gone mad?”

Even if they divorced, the Martin family would send her back..

Marriages like this rarely end in divorce.

“No. I’m serious.” Karen said.

Carlson was incredulous, “All because of that one slap? You’re over 40 years old. How can you be so melodramatic? Besides, where can you go without me?”

The Martin family would never allow it, he thought.

At first. Carlson didn’t take it seriously, but her persistence made him realize the gravity of the situation. After several minutes of confrontation, he understood she was serious.

It was laughable. All because he slapped her in the heat of the moment?

Of course, since she had said so, he wouldn’t try to stop her. Even if she left, the Martin family would indeed send her back.

His face darkened, feeling his dignity challenged. Looking at Karen, a surge of anger rose in his mind.

“Fine.

you can go now. And don’t come back,” he said.

Although it was her suggestion, his indifferent attitude still stung Karen’s heart

How ironic

She didn’t turn around immediately. Thinking of her two children, she suppressed her fear and said bravely, “I want to take both Kevin and Hope with me.”

Carlson frowned in displeasure. “Kevin will stay. You can take Hope”

“No! I want both of my children!” Karen raised her head urgently, her eyes darting away in panic when she met his unreadable expression..

“Dream on! Kevin must stay with me. I will raise him myself. It’s precisely because you spoiled Hope that she made such a mistake, causing us heavy losses! Carlson said.

Carlson only had this one son, and he was counting on Kevin to inherit his property and take care of him in his old age. So, of course, he couldn’t let him go.

He didn’t like Hope at all. She could either stay o

“There’s no room for negotiation,” he said.

WT leave.

Hearing this, Karen knew his attitude. But she wouldn’t give up. Now that Carlson had agreed, she would take Hope out of this mess first and then save Kevin later.

After a moment of thought, she nodded in agreement. Then let’s sign the agreement as soon as possible. I’ll take her away after the divorce is finalized”

Even though he thought she couldn’t live without him. Carlson looked up at her in surprise.

‘An agreement? She’s really good at acting.

I’ve been busy recently. It would be good for her to go out for some days, and I’ll ask the Martin family to send them back

Chapter 279

after I finish my business; he thought.

Carlson readily agreed. After that, he was about to urge her to leave the study when Karen turned and walked away without looking back. She closed the door without any hesitation and did not even look at him.

In the living room, Karen pulled Kevin, who had just finished his studies, into the bedroom. She felt incredibly guilty for not having won custody of Kevin.

Kevin didn’t know what was going on. Karen didn’t say anything and just held his hand and cried.

After she finished crying, she rubbed his head reluctantly: “Kevin, Mom and Hope will leave in a couple of days. You will stay with Dad for a few days. Don’t worry, I will come back for you,” she said.

Kevin didn’t understand. It wasn’t until Karen told him that she was going to divorce Carlson that he took a shocked step back.

He then started to cry and refused to let Karen go,

In Kevin’s mind, Carlson was a very capable man who earned all the money for the family. Without Carlson, they wouldn’t be able to live in such a nice house or eat delicious food.

Hearing this news now, Kevin felt like it was no different from betrayal.

He made a big fuss for a long time, but he couldn’t make Karen change her mind. After realizing that this method didn’t work, he calmed down but looked at her with hatred in his eyes.

“You betrayed Dad, I hate you!”

After leaving these hurtful words, he pushed Karen away and ran out

He didn’t know that Karen had been beaten, and he didn’t know what his parents were like when they got along in private. So it was difficult for him to understand it immediately.

The day Karen and Hope left the Jones family was a weekend. After packing up all their things, it was already evening Before leaving, they stood at Kevin’s door and knocked for a long time, but Kevin never opened it

In the end, they left disappointed.

Kevin stood on the balcony and watched them leave. Something lashed through his mind, but he firmly believed that he was right.

After taking Hope to the small apartment she had bought a few days ago, Karen hired a woman to help clean up. Then she picked up her mobile phone and left.

Hope stopped her. She must have sensed a huge change in Karen recently and was worried. So she put down the things she was packing, stood up, and asked, “Mom, where are you going? Let’s go together.”

It was already six o’clock in the evening. Karen shook her head and gave her a reassuring smile.

“Don’t worry, I’m fine. I’ll be back soon,” Karen said.

The reason she didn’t let Hope follow her was that the fewer people knew about this, the better.

She clutched her phone tightly. After going out, she hailed a taxi and got in. “Horizon Tower, please,” she said.
