The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 1147:

Once inside the car, Cliff’s anger softened slightly at the sight of her tear-stained face. “You’ve barely worked there a few months, and you dare slap Kira? What made you think you had the right?”

Laney’s sobs wracked her body so violently that her mind buzzed, deaf to his words. His dark expression only fueled her frustration further. She frantically tried to escape the confines of the car.

Cliff’s irritation peaked watching her exit the car until he noticed her uneven movements—her thigh trembling with each attempt. His expression shifted instantly as he grasped her wrist. “What happened to your foot?”

“Leave me alone! I can’t stand the sight of you!” Laney shoved against him.

In one fluid motion, Cliff scooped her up and deposited her back in the car. He shut the door and slid in beside her, carefully lifting her trembling foot onto his lap. The sight of her bruised foot beneath her shoe made his blood boil.

“Did Kira do this?” Cliff’s voice was tight with controlled rage. Laney buried her face in her hands, her sobs too violent for words to escape.
