"How we treat our daughter is none of your business."
Ms. Delaney snapped, her face flushing with rage. "Don't think your Atwood family money gives you the right to walk all over us."
"Once she divorces you, we’ll secure her future. We don't need your input."
The words felt like a knife twisting in Gian’s gut. He looked down at Kirsten, his heart breaking for her.
She had grown up in such a toxic, loveless home. Her fierce independence was nothing but a survival mechanism to protect herself from them.
Just then, Carter stepped forward. "Mr. Atwood, my parents just want what's best for her."
"Since you two are splitting up, she's going to be alone. My parents are just looking for a suitable match so she can start a new family and have some security."
Gian’s eyes darkened with a predatory fury. "You’re setting up an arranged marriage for her?"
Kirsten' dad didn't even bother to deny it. He looked almost proud. "The Delaney company is facing a cash flow crisis. Carter is getting engaged next month and needs a massive nest egg."
"If Kirsten marries the Sammie family's son, they’ll inject capital into our business. We survive, and she gets a wealthy husband. It’s a win-win."
The Sammie family. They were notoriously wealthy in Westbrook, and their son was a known degenerate deadbeat.
To think her own parents were willing to sell her to a monster to save their business.
A lethal rage surged through Gian. His knuckles turned white. "Don't even think about it."
Ms. Delaney let out a sharp, mocking laugh. "If you truly loved her, you wouldn't be leaving her."
"Your outrage is nothing but a cheap performance."
She had always known she was just a tool to them, but hearing it out loud still shattered her soul.

The room fell dead silent, all eyes snapping to the hospital bed.

"Does anything hurt?"
Kirsten violently yanked her hand away. She stared at her mother with absolute zero warmth. "Don't pretend you care."

The readers' comments on the novel: The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell
Although she was one of the protagonist (and best friend of Danielle), I'm really annoyed with Kristen. What does she actually want? She wants to be completely free from Gian, whatever their business is. But when Gian doesn't care about her, she gets annoyed and overthinks. Hey, Kristen, the world doesn't revolve around you. You may follow your own feelings, but that doesn't mean you can ignore other people's feelings at all!...
It seems like this novel will end at chapter 5000. Every time one issue ends, another one pops up, and it seems like the author is just trying to drag it out. I'm starting to get tired of reading it....
I hope daniele will have no end game with alexander since whatever the reason is, he only give her too much grievencess. I hope there will be another male character with stronger present than alexander to have the end game with daniele. Hated that in the name of love or protection alexander can treat another woman better, not just once, but with this new lorie girl... Oh my blood pressure getting higher cause by the new plot :(...
