CEO Broke Down and Cried After I Divorced Him novel Chapter 388

Chapter 0388 

Claude didn’t listen at all. “Get out of here! This has nothing to do with you. And don’t get your hopes up. Just because we’ve slept together a few times doesn’t mean your status has changed. From the beginning, you’ve been nothing more than a dog I summon and dismiss at will. What I do is none of your concern!” 

His words were as ruthless as they could be, cutting like a blade. 

Even Dylan, as much as he despised Claude, found it difficult to stay silent. But he had no place to judge, remembering how he had once treated Suzy the same way. 

The memories of the heartless things he had said to her resurfaced, and regret surged through him again. 

Avalon’s already pale face turned even whiter, but she didn’t back down. She remained stubborn, her voice firm despite her trembling frame. “You weren’t always like this. I still remember the man you used to be–bright, refined, and warm, someone people naturally looked up to. But look at yourself now. What have you become? 

“Can you even recognize yourself in the mirror anymore?” 

“Shut up!” 

But Avalon acted as if she hadn’t heard him and pressed on. “You could have been someone important to Suzy, someone she cherished. But you reached for what you were never meant to have, and now you’ve turned your relationship with her into this. 

“It’s not too late to stop. Don’t wait until the day you want to turn back, only to find you’ve run out of chances. By then, regret won’t mean a thing. 

“I said, shut up!” Claude’s bloodshot eyes locked on her, his voice dripping with menace. Don’t think I won’t kill you. Say one more word, and I’ll end you right here!” 

“If killing me will make you stop, then go ahead and do it now!” 

She had long made peace with death. The moment she betrayed Suzy, she knew her life was forfeit. 

She hadn’t wanted to betray Suzy–every fiber of her being loathed the choice she had made. But some emotions… some attachments were overwhelming, lasting a lifetime with just a single glance. 

Claude felt that way about Suzy, and she felt the same about him. 

When Avalon joined the organization, it was Claude who had come to meet her. It felt like a college freshman orientation, with her senior showing her the ropes. 

Back then, he was just a teenager, dressed in white, standing against the dazzling sunlight.

Chapter 0338 

It was the first time Avalon had seen a boy so stunningly handsome. 

Avalon came from a deeply unhappy family. In her household, traditional values placed boys far above girls, and from the moment she was born, she was seen as a burden. 

Whether it was her grandparents, her maternal family, or her parents, every adult in her life made her feel unwanted. 

During the strict era of family planning, they had done everything they could to remove her from the household, hoping to earn the chance to have a son.
