Breaking Point of Divorce (Hugh and Bethan) novel Chapter 30

Chapter 30 Apologize To Megan

His hand fell awkwardly through the air before dropping back to his side. For a moment, he said nothing. Then he pulled out the chair beside her and sat down.

Turning to face her fully, he said, ‘Bethan, can we talk? Calmly.”

Bethan turned her head mechanically and gave him a cold glance. “What is there to talk about?”

She already knew why he was here. Gwen had just come to see her.

That was when she found out—Hugh had threatened his own sister just to force her to apologize to Megan. He was even willing to send Gwen overseas as punishment.

If he could be that ruthless to his own flesh and blood, what kindness could she possibly expect from him?

Hugh looked directly at her, his expression unreadable, “Megan’s in the hospital. Gwen hit her.”

Bethan didn’t hesitate. “Then arrest me. I’ll take the blame.”

She knew it all started because of her. She couldn’t keep letting Gwen fight her battles.

She had told herself she was ready for this. But hearing it out loud still sent a sharp pain through her chest.

She stood to leave, but Hugh grabbed her wrist. “Gwen only went after Megan because you told her to, didn’t she?”

So this was what it was really about. He hadn’t come to talk. He came to interrogate her.

Bethan felt the heat rising in her chest. She tried to keep her voice calm, unwilling to make a scene in public.

“Yes,” she admitted. “I asked Gwen to go.”

Gwen had done it to stand up for her. And of course, Hugh was furious-anything that happened to Megan broke his heart.

Bethan didn’t want Gwen to get dragged into this any further. She didn’t want to bring her down with her.

But apologize? That was never going to happen.

Their eyes locked.

The more it hurt, the calmer she became.

She said flatly, “Fine. If you want your humiliated wife

to apologize to your mistress, I’ll do it. But I want a press conference. I want cameras rolling, microphones out, the whole thing documented. Do you dare, Mr. Cavill?”

He flinched at the name. “Bethan, I’m your husband.”

She turned her face away. “No. From the moment you left me standing in the rain to pick up your precious Megan and her son at the airport, you stopped being my husband.”

His voice turned colder. “You know I hate being threatened.”

Bethan’s composure finally cracked. Her eyes turned red, voice rising. “And if you won’t agree to a press conference, then I’ll do it my way. I’ll apologize right here, in front of everyone at the hospital!”

She lifted her chin, daring him to stop her. “I’ll say it loud and clear. I, Mrs. Cavill, driven by jealousy, smashed my husband’s mistress’ home and put her in the hospital. And now, my loving husband is forcing me to come apologize.”

She spun on her heel and headed for the door, but Hugh caught her around the waist before she could leave.
