Changing only for her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 1004 Beating Up the Mistress 2 

“Ah!” Angelina’s pregnancy had shown signs of a possible miscarriage. For the sake of having power over Tanner Group, she had always been extremely cautious with the pregnancy. Yet at that moment, she received a painful kick to her belly, causing her to break out in a cold sweat.

However, Charmaine was still not satisfied. Consumed by fury, she continued to beat Angelina even as the latter was strewn onto the ground.

“You little b*tch! Since your parents obviously didn’t teach you how to be a decent human being, I will gladly give you a lesson today! Did you think you were almighty and could steal someone’s husband just because you’re young? Did you think that you’ll always be young?”

Charmaine was filled with nothing but rage. She had always been one that valued her reputation.

Not only did Angelina ruin her family, but the former was bragging about stealing her husband in front of her. How could Charmaine possibly allow Angelina to leave unscathed?

Squatting on the ground, Angelina wrapped her arms around her belly in a fierce attempt to protect the child inside her. Please, please, please. Please don’t let anything happen to the child. After all, she was depending on the child to obtain everything that she had ever wanted.

“Don’t act rashly, Charmaine. What you’re doing is against the law!” Finding her voice again, Angelina barked at Charmaine.

Turning a deaf ear to the threat, Charmaine grabbed Angelina by her hair and flung her against the wall.

“So what if it’s against the law? I’m gonna make sure you get a miscarriage today! Do you think Yale would do something to stop me? Hah! I believe only you would have your eyes on a man like him, but

you don’t really want him, do you? It’s Tanner Group that you have your eyes on! By the way, I forgot to mention, Tanner Group does not belong to Yale. It belongs to Sophie. You’ve miscalculated!”

Once Charmaine had quelled her anger, she left Angelina’s house without a second look.

It was only after Charmaine had left did Angelina notice something amiss. As she wiped her inner thigh with her hand, a sticky substance caught her attention. In an instant, she realized she was sitting in a pool of blood.

“Ah!”

Angelina was beginning to panic. Her mind was filled with worry for her child. If she were to lose the child, she would have lost her ticket to Tanner Group.

In the midst of her panic, she called Yale and got him to rush over. The moment Yale opened the front door, he was shocked by the scene that was playing in front of him.

Angelina’s lower body was covered in fresh blood. The porcelain white skin of her legs was tainted by deep scarlet.

At the sight of Yale, Angelina burst into tears.

“Darling, please save our baby.” Angelina sobbed. “I don’t want to lose this child. You should know how much I love this child”

Yale immediately dialed 911. However, upon seeing the sheer volume of blood, he knew that there was no hope for the child to survive.

Soon, the ambulance arrived to carry Angelina to the hospital. As expected, the child could not be saved.

When Angelina caught wind of the news, she began to bawl uncontrollably.

“I-I’m so sorry, Darling. I-It’s all my f-fault! I c-couldn’t protect our ch-child!”

“What on earth happened?” Yale’s expression was dark. Everything was fine before this. Why did this happen so suddenly for no reason?

“Charmaine. It was Charmaine. She has gone mad, hitting and punching and kicking me like a psychopath! She’s a murderess! A murderess, I say!” Angelina wailed.

“What?” Yale would never have expected Charmaine to do something like that. I’ve already explained it clearly to her, have I not?

“Darling, you must avenge our child. Our baby was innocent!” Angelina begged.

“Don’t you worry! I’ll definitely give you an explanation. Just leave this to me! I’ll handle it.”

Yale was livid. Storming out of the hospital, he headed straight to the Tanner residence. When he arrived, Charmaine was still awake, waiting for him. She knew that he would show up that night.

At the sight of Charmaine sitting on the couch, Yale strode forward and slapped her across the face without saying a word.

“Charmaine, do you know what you’ve done? Don’t you know that’s considered murder?” Yale exploded in anger. “You killed my child. I will not let you get away with this!”

“Hah!” Charmaine snickered. “Really? I’d like to see how an adulterer and an adulteress can claim self- righteousness!”

How can he be so shameless? Charmaine could not help but wonder.

After all, they were not divorced yet, and Yale had already had a child with someone else. Not once had he considered the situation in Charmaine’s shoes.

“You—”

“Go ahead! Sue me! What’s the worst that could happen? I’ll just see you in hell!” Charmaine mocked. Their social circle was not wide. Once word about Yale’s act of infidelity got out, he would no longer be able to show his face in his social circle.

“You-

“Yale, I will divorce you.” As Charmaine spoke, a thought popped inside her head. Is this karma for what I have done?

Upon hearing the commotion, Caleb and Willow came down the stairs. When Caleb saw Charmaine’s swollen cheek, he was infuriated.

“Dad, just get a divorce if you want one. Is there a need to get physical? How can a man hit his own wife?” Caleb snapped.

“Do you guys know what she has done?” Yale’s index finger trembled as he pointed at Charmaine accusingly, outraged by her audacity.

“You’re the one who made me do whatever I did.” A look of nonchalance was written on Charmaine’s face. At that point in time, she knew her marriage was in shambles.

“Fine. Let’s get a divorce. From today onward, we will have nothing to do with each other. Let’s just call it a day.” Yale did not want to let the situation spiral out of control for fear that Sophie would find out. If the news over reached Sophie, Yale knew that the rest of his days would be miserable. Thus, there was nothing else he could do but drop the subject.

With a frustrated huff, Yale left without turning back.

After Yale’s departure, Willow walked over to comfort Charmaine.

“Are you okay, Mom?” Willow did not know what else to say. All she could focus on were the drastic changes that took place in her family, wondering what went wrong.

Charmaine shook her head.

“Your dad and I will definitely be getting a divorce. You two are grown up now. Promise me you’ll take good care of yourselves,” Charmaine said dejectedly.

She had finally realized how pitiful she was, having nothing and no one at such an advanced age.

“Just get divorced, Mom! There’s no reason to keep holding on. Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll take care of you.” Caleb embraced Charmaine affectionately.

No matter what she had done in the past, she was still his mother, and he would always protect her.

“Then I shall rely on you starting from now, Caleb.” Without saying anything else, Charmaine retired to her room.

“Caleb, is this really what’s going to become of our family? Is there really no chance to salvage this?”

With a sigh, Caleb gave Willow an affectionate pat on the cheek.

“You should grow up too, Willa. Don’t make Mom worry about you anymore.” There was nothing else Caleb could say to console his sister.

Yale had managed to divorce Charmaine, just as he wanted. However, Angelina was not satisfied with how things had played out.

In her mind, she had lost a child, but Charmaine did not lose anything. It was unfair. Yale’s patience soon thinned from Angelina’s constant whining.

“Are you done with your tantrum, Angelina? If you want to continue making a fuss out of this, let’s just break up.” Yale had not been expecting a crazy, nagging woman. He only wanted a trophy wife.

Angelina stared at him incredulously.

“What did you just say? Yale, I’ve been loyal to you since young. Are you disdaining me now? Didn’t you say that Tanner Group belongs to you? How come I can’t even step foot inside Tanner Group?” Angelina’s goal had been clear since the beginning. All she wanted was Tanner Group.

“Stop daydreaming. Tanner Group belongs to Sophie, and don’t even try to provoke her. You’re no match for her at all.”:

Yale no longer had the patience to deal with Angelina. After all, he had money. Why would he be worried about having no women by his side?

If she chose to act crazy, then he could choose not to show any mercy.
