The Fifth Year of Marriage to Him novel Chapter 305

Chapter 305

Harlan then realized there were only three of them left. Nicole had disappeared at some point.

“That bitch!”

Harlan cursed in anger, “They’re all a bunch of ungrateful scum!”

Harlan texted Nicole: Where are you?

Your mom’s in the hospital. Don’t need me to pay for it anymore?

Nicole didn’t reply.

“This is ridiculous!”

Harlan was so angry he wanted to throw his phone.

“What do we do?”

Maricela started to cry. “Is this all because of me?

Should I not have come back to find you?

If I disappeared, would you all be saved?”

Cedrick was silent, not saying a word.

“Of course it’s not because of you!”

Harlan said, “Don’t always overthink things and take all the blame on yourself.”

Maricela wasn’t comforted by Harlan’s words; she just kept crying.

Harlan sighed and put a hand on Cedrick’s back. “Cedrick, what are you going to do?

Are you really getting a divorce?”

But Cedrick shook his head. “I don’t want a divorce.”

He looked at Harlan pleadingly. “Harlan, is there any way to avoid a divorce?

Help me think of something.”

Harlan and Maricela exchanged a look.

Harlan sighed again. “Then just don’t go tomorrow.”

Cedrick buried his head in his hands, his fingers digging into his hair, his body trembling slightly.

The banquet hall was huge, and everyone was in their own lively groups. Only the three of them sat there, ignored by everyone.

This was the first time they’d ever been sidelined at a banquet!

While waiting, Lucille habitually took out her phone.

She found that Emma Wilson had sent her a lot of messages and even called, but she hadn’t heard

She opened the chat, and she could feel Emma’s panic between the lines.

“Lucille!

You guys are on the trending topics list!”

“The video of you hitting someone, look at it, what on earth happened?”

“Public opinion is all on their side right now. You need to get out there and clarify things.”

She also forwarded the link.

Lucille clicked the link and saw it was the video of her slapping Lucille twice tonight.

In the video, she stood there with a cold expression, looking haughty, while Maricela was on the ground, crying pitifully.

The narrative being pushed was: pampered heiress bullies a junior employee, banking on being Rossi’s sister.

The point was that a junior employee, wanting to build connections with the Rossi company, tried desperately to suck up to Lucille. But Lucille was not only arrogant and rude, she humiliated the employee, not just with words, but with a slap.
