From Divorced Wife To The Top Heiress novel Chapter 130

Serena’s eyes were icy cold. “You’ve only got six months left. Here’s the custody transfer form. You abused the child, and you stole him from me. I want you to sign over custody.”

Beatrice roared, “Stella, no way. Even if he’s your son, he’s an Ashford. You’re not taking him away.

As long as she kept the child close, she could control Stella and threaten her into giving them the cure.

Serena’s gaze was cold and unwavering as she looked at Beatrice. “Mrs. Ashford, how about we strike a deal? If you hand over custody, I won’t call the police and I’ll let What happened back then slide.”

If she just had them locked up, there’d be no more chaos to watch unfold. Sending them straight to jail would be letting them off way too easy. Didn’t Dylan and Eliana claim their love was unbreakable? I’d love to see how long they could actually last, thought Serena.

“One custody agreement in exchange for the freedom of all three of you. Mrs. Ashford, you should really think this through. Mr. Ashford, you also should consider your company teetering on the edge of bankruptcy, and your daughter. Dylan, your daughter might still be alive. If you find her soon, maybe you can still save her.”

Dylan felt a wave of pain so intense it nearly stole his breath away. He turned to Serena and said, “Stella, that’s not my daughter. If I didn’t hook up with Eliana that night, then I never did at all.”

Strangely, he felt a bit relieved that he hadn’t hooked up with her, and he couldn’t even figure out why that made him feel better.

Serena just gave him a frosty look and stayed silent.

He pressed his lips together, glancing at the custody transfer form on the table, then at Liam.

Just thinking of what Liam said broke Dylan’s heart.

Liam, scared his dad would say no, blurted out, “I want to stay with my mom. Every time I begged you to take me away, I was crying out for help. But not once did you save me. Every time you left, I got beaten. You never saw my pain, never heard my pleas. You don’t deserve to be my dad,” Liam said, his voice trembling.

Every word from his son was like icy daggers, stabbing deep into Dylan’s heart. Turns out, every time Liam asked him to take him away, it was a desperate cry for help.

But as a father, he hadn’t even noticed the marks on his son, hadn’t seen that something was wrong. He really wasn’t fit to be a dad.

Dylan’s hands were shaking as he asked a stunned Miles for a pen. He signed his name on the last page.

After signing, his hands still trembling, he handed the papers to Serena. Guilt written all over his face, he looked at her and said, “Stella, I’m so sorry. I had no idea any of this was happening. If I’d known, I never would’ve let it happen. I’m sorry for everything that happened to our son. I failed as a father. Please, take care of our son from now on.”

Serena snatched the papers from him, her gaze frosty. “Don’t you dare ask me to look after him. This child only exists because you forced yourself on me. We agreed there’d be no intimacy, but you broke that promise. So this kid has nothing to do with you. Don’t you ever show up pretending to be his dad. I won’t let you see him again.”

“Your whole Ashford family is nothing but monsters,” she hissed.

Dylan couldn’t tear his eyes away from her stunning face, her eyes swollen and her nose red. She was devastated, and he could feel just how much she loved their son.

Back when she first got pregnant, he’d tried to make her get an abortion. She pleaded with him, promising she’d take the

baby and raise him herself, and only then did he relent.

Turns out, in her eyes, those two nights when he’d forced himself on her while drunk were seen as assault.
