Chapter 408 Divorce Isn’t Enough
Lily was frightened to tears by the roaring and didn’t dare look at the man on the bed.
But Viola pulled her hair, so she couldn’t escape.
The sharp pain in her knees and scalp stimulated her nerves as she screamed, and her whole person was on the verge of collapsing.
“I did nothing wrong. I only wanted to protect myself. All of this was your fault, Viola. You were the one who caused it.
“Willard deserves it. If he hadn’t insisted on giving you the inheritance right and forced me into a situation where I had no choice, I wouldn’t have listened to Max.”
Lily had never gotten along with Viola. Viola had said before that once she obtained the right of inheritance, Lily would be kicked out of the McGraw family, and Lily would never have a good life.
Lily had been used to the extravagant life in the McGraw family for so many years. If she was driven out, it would be equivalent to being sentenced to death because she could not make a living.
But if Max took the right of inheritance, it would be different. Lily will remain in her life as usual.
She thought that she did nothing wrong because she was just trying to survive for her own sake.
Viola was slightly shocked. She didn’t expect Lily to be unrepentant.
The anger in her heart surged. Viola slapped Lily’s face heavily and pressed Lily’s head against the headboard while forcing Lily to look at Willard.
“What did Dad do wrong? You were the one who coveted his wealth and tricked him into sleeping with you. It was also you who forced Dad to take responsibility for you. All these years, didn’t my father treat you well?
“He was sincere to you. He once told me that after he passed away. And I was asked to give you a mansion to live in. Then, he wanted me to give you 5 percent of the shares of the McGraw Group so that you could enjoy the dividends and continue living a carefree life. He even asked me to agree with your remarriage.
“But you? Is this how you repay him?”
After listening to Viola, Lily widened her eyes in shock as she stared at her husband, who was unconscious on the bed.
“How is this possible? He… has already thought of a way out for me?”
Viola sneered, “Lily, you know very well that I am a person who seeks revenge for the smallest grievance and returns it tenfold. Although I quarreled with you all these years, I have never done any substantial harm to you. It’s because Dad loved you.”
Lily’s entire body was trembling.
She was unable to say a word.
She had never loved Willard. When she married the latter, she wanted to enjoy the glory and wealth of being a rich and powerful wife. She thought that Willard married her just because she was young and interesting.
But Willard indeed loved her and had even arranged for her all the paths of retreat in advance to make her live the rest of her life comfortably.
Lily burst into tears as her guilt almost drowned her.
Viola stared at Lily coldly and said in a faint tone, “Dad is the only one in the McGraw family who can protect you. You hurt Dad, and you know so many secrets about Max. With Max’s personality, she will find a way to get rid of you after this matter is over.
“In any case, I am Max’s biological sister although our mothers are different. She is cruel enough to try to kill me so many times. It can be seen that she is extremely ruthless.
“And you have nothing to do with her. Why do you believe that she will protect you?”
Lily’s heart skipped a beat, and even her crying stopped. She suddenly realized the fact.
She had to admit that she was wrong and ridiculously wrong.
“I’m sorry, Viola. I was wrong. I realize how stupid I was. Can you give me another chance?” Lily apologized sincerely as she turned around and grabbed Viola’s dress.
Viola kicked her away and looked down at her. Viola’s eyes were so cold that there was no warmth.
“If I give you a chance, will my father wake up? Because of you, he became a vegetable who will never wake up. He will never have a chance, so what qualifications do you have to beg for my forgiveness?”
Lily was unable to say a single word from Viola’s questioning, and she was extremely regretful as she cried until she was on the verge of despair.
Viola said indifferently, “Lily, it was you who personally ruined the rest of your comfortable life. All of your regrets will be left in prison for the rest of your life to slowly pass away.”
After saying this sarcastically, Viola sent a text to Todd who was outside the villa.
