From Divorced Wife To The Top Heiress novel Chapter 190

Chapter 190

Gray stepped forward with deference. “Yes, Ms. Hale.”

He was sick and tired of Yvonne’s two–faced act.

Dylan narrowed his eyes. He thought, ‘Ms. Hale? Seriously?

‘Isn’t Stella an orphan?

‘So which family is she the heiress of, exactly?‘

Yvonne watched as Gray approached, her nerves getting the better of her as she instinctively stepped back. The icy look in his eyes made her flinch.

“Stella, are you really just going to stand there and let this guy hit me?” Yvonne said.

Gray let out a cold laugh. “Anyone who dares insult Ms. Hale never walks away unscathed. The Ashford family must’ve had some serious luck to keep us from tearing you apart before.

“But now that Ms. Hale has nothing to do with you anymore, you’re just begging for trouble.”

His eyes flashed with murderous intent as he suddenly lifted his leg and landed a vicious kick right on Yvonne’s face, smooth, ruthless, and almost stylish.

Gray thought, ‘Real men don’t hit women.

‘But I am never one of the good guys!’

Yvonne shrieked, her body slamming hard onto the floor before everything went black.

Gray’s gaze was ice–cold. This was the first time he’d ever laid a hand on a woman, and honestly, he’d held back.

Listening to Yvonne run her mouth, Gray couldn’t help but think she totally deserved it.

Dylan fixed Serena with a cold, hard stare and said, “Yvonne! Stella, sure, Yvonne doesn’t know when to shut up, but don’t you think this is going way too far?”

Serena met his icy gaze with a mocking laugh. “Too far? After everything the Ashford family put me through, you really think this is crossing the line?

“A year ago, Yvonne tricked me into going to a hotel, drugged me, and tried to set me up with someone, just so you could be with Eliana. If I didn’t know how to handle it medically, that night would’ve been hell for me.

“And tell me, is she really your sister? Dylan, do you remember what told you before? You’re living in nothing but lies.

“The day you finally wake up and come to me on your apology, admitting you were wrong, maybe then I’ll consider forgiving you.”

Dylan’s face darkened in an instant.

He had no idea Yvonne had ever schemed against Stella,

Stella had never told him either.

Honestly, he barely ever came home back then.

All he could think about was when Eliana would finally come back.

Chapter 190

Thinking back to what he’d overheard at the hospital, Dylan was sure Stella was hiding something.

“Stella, what exactly are you trying to say?” he asked.

His eyes, always carrying that dangerous charm, locked onto hers, trying to see through her. But all he saw was a calm, unruffled surface, like a still lake.

Serena locked eyes with him for a few seconds, then, without another word, she led Chris and Gray straight toward the library.

Dylan stared after her icy silhouette, his heart clenching painfully as she walked away.

Dylan thought, ‘Was I really living in a lie all this time?‘

As the memory of his mom’s affair flashed through his mind, Dylan looked at Yvonne’s battered face, rage boiling up inside him.

‘Could Yvonne really be… Dylan thought.
