The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 1227:

The quiet was broken by muffled voices in the background—someone apparently doing repairs and seeking Juliet’s input.

Juliet snapped at them to leave. Just as Cliff was about to end the call, Juliet’s piercing scream shattered the tension.

There was a clatter as the phone dropped, followed by distant, chaotic sounds. “Cliff, help me!”

When Cliff arrived at Juliet’s side, the immediate danger had passed.

Juliet flung herself into his arms, trembling. “I thought he was going to kill me!” she cried, clinging to him desperately with each shuddering breath.

It was the attacker from this morning, freshly out of custody and already stirring up trouble. Raw fury contorted the attacker’s features as he lunged forward, screaming at Juliet, “You witch! You killed my wife and child!” Despite her obvious fear, Juliet’s response dripped with venom. “How dare you blame me? Accidents happen every year. Perhaps it was simply fate—maybe your wife and child deserved their end!” Her cruel words ignited something primal in the attacker.
