Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 1463

Before she could reach David, he suddenly lifted his cane and poked it into her chest.

"You wretch!"

Adeline cried out in pain, immediately clutching the area where David had just struck her. With a grunt, she knelt before David.

She looked at David sorrowfully, overwhelmed by his chilling aura. Her swollen face made her look even uglier, and the dried bloodstains at the corner of her lips highlighted the sinister horror of her face. Yet, her eyes radiated with a stubborn viciousness.

"Do you really think I am so foolish that I would believe your lies?" David asked.

"Dad..." Celine took a step forward. Don't listen to what they say. I've worked so hard for the Pierce family all these years.”

"Dad?" David chuckled sarcastically.

Celine took another step forward, looking pitiful. "Dad, I've managed Pierce Corporation diligently all these years, and I've never been disloyal to you. You're the only father I acknowledge."

"Really? You've taken control of Pierce Corporation, yet you’re ungrateful and dared to conspire with outsiders to harm my son and transfer the Pierce family's funds to the Ellis family! I must have committed heinous sins in my past life for you to call me father."

David choked up momentarily, then steadied his breath and chuckled maliciously. “Today, I'll show you what happens to your father."

"Dad!" Celine took another step forward, her eyes flashing with coldness.

"Do you really think the members of the Pierce family are blind and foolish? Every man in our family is top-notch. You're too naive to think you can play tricks on us.”
