Chapter 14:

Joshua stopped suddenly, as if a switch had been turned on in his mind.

He came to his senses again and reluctantly released Alice.

Taking advantage of the moment, Alicia bent her knee and dealt a powerful blow to his crotch.

Joshua lost the color from his face as pain coursed through him, rendering him immobile.

Alicia quickly stood up and straightened her clothes, shaking off the tension.

Her heart raced with lingering fear, but her anger toward Joshua grew stronger. She felt an overwhelming urge to smash his head in.

But Alice realized that she was outnumbered and had no chance of winning the fight. Fighting back would only put her in greater danger.

Suppressing her anger, she grabbed the divorce agreement and headed for the door.

At that moment, Lilliana appeared, coming down the stairs and blocking Alice's path.

Lilliana's eyes were filled with disdain as she said with contempt, "Despicable bitch."

Alice's anger flared even more in response to Lilliana's words.

He cast a cold glance at Lilliana.

Lilliana looked at Alicia and stood her ground.

"You talk about divorce, and yet you shamelessly interfere in my life with Joshua. I never took you for someone so manipulative, Alicia."

Joshua listened to Lilliana's words and stood up, enduring the pain of Alicia's blow.

Lilliana continued,

“Don't even pretend that Joshua forced you. I have ignored you for two years of marriage. Why would he change now?”

Joshua grabbed Lilliana’s arm firmly. “Lilliana, stop acting like that. It’s beneath you.”
