The Ex-Wife's Triumph novel Chapter 240

Those words acted like a fine needle, pricking at Lucy's heart and leaving her feeling a wave of helplessness. She just thought Molly was too smart for her own good, and that exact cleverness had pinpointed the very situation she wanted to face the least.

After leaving, Kingsley didn't head home. He went straight to the boxing gym—he had a standing appointment with Wyatt Sterling.

As soon as he arrived, Shane hurried over, casually taking his coat and speaking with some hesitation. "Mr. Sherwood, Wyatt has been training incredibly hard these past few months. He's improved a lot. Maybe..."

Kingsley shot him a glance, his tone flat. "Good, it's a perfect time to test him out."

On the other side of the gym, Wyatt made no effort to hide his presence. Surrounded by a circle of buddies, they were taking turns hyping him up.

Frowning, he barked impatiently, "Shut up, all of you! I told you to come watch the match, not kiss my ass."

Seeing his mood, the crowd instantly fell silent.

When Kingsley climbed through the ropes and stepped into the ring, Shane's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He had an inexplicable premonition that Kingsley wouldn't fight back much today.

After hesitating for a moment, he pulled out his phone and fired off a text message to Ethan.

Ethan was currently sitting next to Seven, listening to Molly read a picture book in her sweet voice.

Over the brief time they'd spent together, he had practically become friends with the two kids. He secretly thought Kingsley should have seized the opportunity to stay longer, but the guy had bolted first.

It wasn't until he saw Shane's text that he frowned. He couldn't help but feel that neither of them ever gave anyone a moment of peace.

He stood up and walked over to Thurston and Sean, his tone laced with exasperation. "Kingsley and Wyatt are throwing punches at the boxing gym right now. Are they deliberately trying to make us skip lunch?"

Lucy and Jane heard him from the living room, but Lucy didn't react in the slightest, acting as if it had nothing to do with her.

Thurston set down his mug and raised an eyebrow. "Let's go, what are we sitting here for? We can't let him get beaten to a pulp again."

"Exactly. His blood pressure just hit a normal range, and now he's out there looking for trouble again."
