After Death, Love Unveiled

Chapter 133

Seeing Elara acting like she was the victim, Elara wasn't in the mood to entertain her. "What, are you saying Natalie caused your car accident?

"She's been coming to the hospital every day to take care of you since the accident, and you still have the nerve to complain? If you had a different daughter-in-law, would anyone treat you this way? Curtis doesn't even come to visit you every day.

"Don't spout nonsense. The Kerwin family is in this mess because they brought it upon themselves. You're just paralyzed now, but mark my words, with that mouth of yours, this isn't the last of your family's bad luck." "You..." Grace looked at Elara with a hurt expression. But Elara was an outsider, and moreover, she was Lysander's fiancée. Grace couldn't act like she could with Natalie. Elara wasn't as easy to intimidate. After all, Natalie had married into the Kerwin family. No matter how much noise she made, it would only be a family

matter.

Elara glanced at Curtis. "You can take your time thinking about the divorce, but from the moment you laid a hand on Natalie, it was already decided. Your marriage to her is over, whether you want it or not." His actions had given Natalie the perfect reason to file for divorce.

That evening, Elara was having dinner at home with her father when Harold came over. He walked in, and Elara greeted him, "Uncle Harold, what brings you here?" Barrett also looked at him. "Take a seat."

Elara and Harold had both been living in Starfield City for the past few years, but Barrett had his own affairs to attend to, so they didn't see each other often.

Harold sat down and looked at Barrett. "It's been a long time, Mr. Kensington."

Hearing that, Barrett replied, "Why so formal? We're family. How's Natalie doing?"

"She's getting better," Harold said. "Natalie only had some superficial injuries. Unlike Elara, who had to get two stitches, so she's recovering a little faster. But, marrying a man like this has clearly affected her mental state." Barrett nodded. "Take good care of her."

Harold's gaze turned to Elara. "I came here today to talk about Natalie."

Elara was confused. "What's going on?"

"The divorce," Harold said. "This is something you don't need to worry about. I'll handle it with the Kerwin family."

"How will you handle it?" Elara asked.

Seeing that Harold was asking her not to get involved, Elara looked at him warily. "Last time, Curtis said that even if he killed Natalie, you'd just obediently send her back to him. You're not really planning on doing that, are you?" Harold had always meddled with Elara and Lysander's relationship, but he was her uncle, so her opinion of him wasn't entirely negative.

However, now that Curtis had already made a move, if Harold actually went through with something like this, Elara would be very disappointed in him.

"Is that really how you
