The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 119

Major Garnett watched Ashlyn, her expression one of utter despair. He had been with Marcel for many years, witnessed their journey together.

Throughout the years, countless people had suggested Marcel consider divorce, largely due to Ashlyn’s… indescribable behavior!

When they were at the military base, she had the audacity to try setting up some of the female officers with her own nephew, and it was due to Marcel’s reputation that things were

suppressed quickly. Not to mention the occasions when she covertly took items from the base to aid her family financially!

Marcel’s divorce papers were quickly approved, undoubtedly influenced by Ashlyn’s tarnished reputation.

“Has Marcel lost his mind? We’ve been married for so many years! I need to find Tristan!”

Ashlyn immediately dialed Tristan on her smartphone. As soon as he answered, her tears started to fall. “Tristan, has your father gone mad? He actually wants to divorce me!”

Tristan was taking the wheelchair from his daughter, heading inside the Schnabel Manor in Serene Haven.

“Oh, that’s actually good news. It’s about time. Don’t worry, after the divorce, I’ll send you to Gerastor Retirement Home. It’s the best of its kind. I’ve also enrolled Yvonne in Gerastor University to get her focused and out of the house.”

They really wanted to get rid of her and Yvonne!

Ashlyn panicked. “No, Marcel can’t do this to me! I’m your mother, and you’re my son, you have to take my side! Marcel can’t bully me like this! Have I raised you for nothing? You ungrateful child!”

Tristan had long since been worn down by Ashlyn’s antics. “Mom, sometimes I wonder how you turned into the person you are now. When I was little, you weren’t like this at all.”

Tristan’s words, meant as a mere reflection, seemed to light a fuse in Ashlyn.

“What do you mean by that? Are you implying I’m not your mother? I have always been this way! If you prefer someone else, go find some floozy to be your mother! Ha! No matter what, I am luckier than some!”

Who was she referring to?

Tristan felt a headache coming on and didn’t want to argue further.

“Mom, stop making a scene. The divorce papers are already stamped. Whether or not you sign them doesn’t matter much now. Your marriage with Dad is over. Rest assured, I’ll take good care of you. Tomorrow, you’ll go to Gerastor.”
