Can't Get Away With You novel Chapter 2

"This...this is some kind of joke, right?" he laughed sarcastically. But when he saw her expressionless face, his lips curled up to a sneer. "Are you serious?

Maggie is still so little! How could you bear to let her grow up without her father?! You are a ruthless woman!" There was a flash of fury in Joey's eyes as he glared at Lois.

Lois just lowered her head and smiled pitifully.

"What difference does it make?" she said softly. "We've been together for five years and yet it felt as if Maggie didn't have a father." There was no way she was about to leave their daughter to him. Joey was not capable of taking care of such a small child.

With a scoff, Joey tore up the divorce papers into pieces. "You did everything you could to get in bed with me just so that you could marry into the Gu family. Now, you dare to threaten me like this?"

Lois's face turned pale. Everyone knew who had taken advantage of this marriage. After so many years, she no longer wanted to argue with him.

"Lois Shen! I don't know what tricks you are playing. But just to remind you, you are married to the CEO of one of the most powerful companies in the country!" Joey fumed. "Look, if you want to run your own company or get an affair, so be it. But Maggie stays where I can keep an eye on her."

Lois gritted her teeth as her hands tightly clenched into fists at her side. At this moment, she no longer wanted to be anywhere near him. Without a second thought, she reached for the car door.

However, Joey was much quicker than she was, and locked the door before she could open it.

Afterwards, Joey pulled her arm towards him, making her fall onto his lap. She blushed with embarrassment, and tried to sit up straight. Just then, Joey leaned in and kissed her on her lips.

With all her might, Lois tried to push him away, ever going as far as hitting his shoulder. Unfortunately, he was much stronger than she was.

"You... HMM... Let go of me!"

Joey furrowed his thick eyebrows. 'This woman! How dare she!' Eventually he let her go, making her slump back onto her seat.

Lois straightened out her dress and composed herself, looking at the angry look on Joey's face. There was nothing else she wanted to say -- she had already proposed the divorce, and they were going to get separated sooner or later.

However, her silence made him annoyed even more. "Stay at home and take care of Maggie. That's the end of this discussion," he snapped at her.

Hearing this, Lois shook her head in disbelief. "Fine. Then you can talk to my lawyer," she replied in a sarcastic tone.

"Who do you think you're dealing with?" Joey said with a slight laugh. "What do you think you'll be able to get out of this? Believe it or not, I have the money and power to ban you completely from A City!"
