After the Last Tear: Rising from the Ashes of a Broken Marriage By Cassila K

Chapter 94

That night, both families were wide awake, dealing with the fallout.

The Wrights pushed for damage control. After all, every powerful family had skeletons in their closets. Jenna's mother-who'd personally "handled" several of her husband's affairs over the years-downplayed her daughter's actions as "just being too passionate."

"She's already lost her baby," Mrs. Wright argued. "And after what Elijah did to her, she might never have children. Hasn't she suffered enough?"

Meanwhile, the Phillips family demanded an immediate divorce. They refused to keep a killer in the family, no matter how well-connected she was.

As the families argued behind closed doors, police officers broke in and arrested Jenna in front of everyone.

By morning, the scandal dominated social media. The golden couple had imploded spectacularly: wife in jail, husband in the hospital.
