After She's Terminal The Alpha Regrets (Elaine and Lucas) novel Chapter 139

Chapter 139

She motioned behind here, where Adrian stepped forward with the paperwork, though didn’t hand it over to Ax.

“I made a mistake with the original paperwork that went into our archives. An oversight that wasn’t ever that severe. Until someone stole the documents.” Adrian looked over at Jax.

Jax bristled. “I stole nothing.”

“You do realize that you have been trespassed from this property, don’t you?” Elaine asked. “After you tried to get violent with our receptionist after she refused to tell you about a woman and her daughter who came to dr foundation seeking help.”

Jax stilled. Then he narrowed his gaze. “None of this proves anything. I was never officially trespassed. I came looking for help and was turned away. That’s when I knew the corruption here ran deep!”

Elaine opened her mouth to speak, but felt a tightness coiling up in her chest. She lifted a hand, pressing it against her chest as her breath came in raggedly.

Jax didn’t notice, continuing his tirade as he turned to the crowd and cameras. “This place claims to help people! Though at my lowest, they turned me away from their doors. Thrown out to the curb like a dog.”

Liam noticed how Elaine had started to falter. He knew she’d been taking on to much with this. He began to step forward, but before he could, someone else had walked out of the building. 1

Lyra.

She stepped down to Elaine’s side. Jax looked up at her with surprise, then a deep glare.

“You…”

“Jax Riley is my husband. For the last five years, he has been abusing my self and my daughter,” Lyra said with a cracked voice. Jax growled low in his chest. “He has stolen documents from New Dawn, trying to slander their name, because I tried to get help here.”

The reporters all gasped, leaning forward, a barrage of questions began to stream in. Harriet stepped forward.

“Jax Riley, you may think of this as your official serving. You are being sued by New Dawn for defamation. And the emotional abuse of Lyra Riley.”

Harriet shoved the legal papers into Jax’s hands, then stepped back. The crowd erupted into chaos.

Elaine barely registered what was happening. She rocked back on her heels, blinking rapidly to try and clear her vision and focus on what was going on.

“It was worth it.” Elaine smiled to herself. “Did you see Lyra?”
