When Love Becomes a Cage by Nora

Chapter 60



Since Clyde had his lawyer bail Kayla out, and we were now open to settling, it made sense that she could walk free.

Seeing the lawyer's pale face, I couldn't help but feel sorry for him. Cleaning Clyde's messes over the years must have been a real pain.

But Jade didn't beat around the bush after receiving Clyde's favors. She signed the peace agreement without hesitation.

The cops added a few more words of caution, having Kayla sign a promise letter before finally letting her go.

But no sooner had we stepped out of the station than Kayla's tears stopped, replaced by a malicious glare. "Melanie, I always knew you only cared about money. Is Clyde's company worth less than this petty cash to you? You've never loved Clyde. You've been scamming him from the start! You're just a gold digger. What makes you think you can stand by Clyde's side? You'll only bring him ridicule!"

Standing behind her, Clyde didn't utter a word but looked at me with a profound gaze.
