Divorce Him, Then Dazzle novel Chapter 72

Adah glared at Latonia, her tone sharp. “Are you even married? Don’t you and your husband get into fights? Every couple argues. Who runs off to call the police every time? If people hear about this, they’ll laugh at us!”

Latonia kept her voice calm. “Sure, couples fight and have their moments, but today is different. I heard you’re both university professors. Don’t you know the basics of the law?”

Lean’s voice turned cold. “Don’t twist things around. At the end of the day, this is a family matter. “This is family,” Lean said coldly. “Outsiders don’t get a vote.” Besides, you don’t really know what’s going on in our home. What gives you the right to butt in?”

Latonia started to reply, but Camilla tugged her sleeve. Camilla faced Lean, her expression steady. “What Daniel did this time was out of line. I have to report him to the police.”

Adah’s face softened, trying to reason with her. “Camilla, you’re married. If he ends up in jail, do you think that’ll make you look good? I’m your mother. Would I ever want to hurt you?”

“I’ve already told you. I want a divorce,” Camilla replied quietly.

Adah shook her head. “You want to end your marriage over every little thing? What’s wrong with your generation?”

Camilla let out a breath. “If you really don’t want me to call the police, fine.”

Latonia shot her a look that said she didn’t agree.

Adah jumped in. “What do you mean by that?”

“As long as he agrees to divorce me, I won’t press charges,” Camilla answered, her voice calm.

Adah’s voice rose in disbelief. “What are you after, really? Are you trying to drive me crazy?”

Lean was fuming now. “This is ridiculous. Go and withdraw your complaint right now. Otherwise, don’t ever call me your father again.”

Latonia watched the couple, feeling a wave of sadness for Camilla. Was this what her life was always like?

Camilla paused only for a moment, then walked out with Latonia by her side.

Outside, a high-end car sat quietly under the streetlights, almost blending in with the dark.

Latonia leaned over and said quietly, “Camilla, why don’t you stay at my place tonight? Let’s not mention anything to Catheleen for now—I don’t want her to worry.”

Camilla shook her head. “It’s really fine, I can get a hotel. I don’t want to trouble you.”

“I live alone,” Latonia said with a warm smile. “Honestly, it’s no trouble at all. You need to clean up and look after your injuries. A hotel isn’t going to be any easier. Let’s go, the car’s right here.”

Latonia opened the door for her. Camilla gave her a soft thank you and slid inside, only to realize someone was already in the driver’s seat.
