A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 12

Chapter 12 Divorce

Avery frowned and said coldly, “Continue. What happened to Ms. Sheridan?”

Mary’s gaze was a little evasive. She continued in a low voice, “I was outside just now. I saw Ms. Sheridan stepping on the back of Ms. Garcia’s hand with her high heels. She even kicked Ms. Garcia to the ground. She also verbally attacked Ms. Garcia.”

The first half of the sentence might be possible, but for the second half, Avery could be sure that it was a lie.

When Vivian held the umbrella for Darlene, Avery saw it from the window of the bedroom upstairs.

He could not see whether Vivian stepped on Darlene’s hand.

But she did not kick Darlene.

Mary stole a glance at Avery with a guilty conscience and saw Avery’s expression darken. “Who allowed you to slander Vivian like this? What exactly is your purpose? Or did you receive orders from someone?”

Mary immediately panicked and hurriedly apologized, “Mr. Gallard, I was

forced to do this!”

Anger appeared on Avery’s face as he hurried towards Vivian’s bedroom.

“Mary, you’d better make it clear. Otherwise, you won’t find a job in Baltimore or even in this country.”

A faint smile appeared on Mary’s lips as she quickly followed Avery.

longer waste time on Darlene.

Darlene took out her phone with great effort and wiped the water stains on the screen. Fortunately, it was still available.

Her heart was in great pain and she had already begun to cough up blood. A heart attack could cause sudden death at any time.

Darlene could not die. She had to take care of her younger brother and grandmother.

Darlene’s hands trembled as she looked through the address book. In the end, she had no choice but to dial Nathen’s phone number.
