The Wife He Dumped, The Queen She Returned As novel Chapter 4

Her vision blurred with unshed tears, but her gaze remained locked on Preston's profile picture.

It felt as though a brutal hand had plunged into her chest and crushed her heart. A dull, throbbing pain radiated through her veins, leaving her completely numb.-

The suited man arrogantly pulled his phone away and shoved the NDA into her lap with a nasty smirk.

"See that? Take my advice. These billionaires aren't people you can cross. Don't make a fool of yourself."

Chloe was the only person left in the ward who hadn't signed.

The bodyguards closed in, forming a wall around her bed. One of them barked, "Sign it. Now."

Chloe picked up the contract.

Then, with everyone watching, her slender fingers deliberately ripped the thick paper into shreds.

"What the hell are you doing?!"

The suited man hadn't expected her to fight back. He glared at her, roaring in fury.

Ignoring the bodyguards' clenched fists, Chloe slowly stood up. Her grip tightened around her shattered phone.

"I just texted the police. They're on their way."

The man's face turned livid. He ground his teeth and snarled, "Fine! If you want to dig your own grave, go right ahead. When the big boss handles you himself, you won't even know what hit you!"

The police arrived shortly after. They took a brief statement, but the thugs refused to leave. They loitered in the room like cheap gangsters.

They even dragged in two massive speakers and blasted deafening noise on a continuous loop.

The entire floor was plunged into chaos. The heavy bass rattled the walls and made everyone's chests ache.

These men were clearly professionals at harassment. They were so slippery and aggressive that even the police couldn't legally force them out without a warrant.

The other patients turned their resentment toward Chloe.

"What is your problem? You're barely hurt. Just take the money! How long would it take you to save up half a million dollars normally?"

"Exactly! Just let it go, girl! Look at this mess. We need to rest!"

Chloe took a deep, shuddering breath. She grabbed her phone and forced her battered body to walk toward the exit.

The officers blocked the bodyguards from following her.

The suited man whistled at her retreating back, openly taunting her.
