Three years of loving him, three days to erase myself from his world novel Chapter 74

Zane was entirely stunned by the slap. Clutching his right cheek, he glared at her furiously. "Clara, you f*cking..."

Slap! Before he could finish swearing, Clara raised her hand and delivered another slap.

Zane shrieked in pain, "F*ck, Clara! You dare hit me! I'm your brother-in-law!"

"Brother-in-law? You think you deserve that title?" Clara grabbed him by the collar, enraged. "Zane Sutton, let me tell you, I don't want a brother-in-law like you anymore. I can have you pack your bags and get out at any time!"

"You!"

"Let me ask you, how many times have you extorted money from the Lowell family?"

Zane choked, looking away as he muttered, "The Lowells are filthy rich, what's wrong with asking for a little? Do you expect Julian to just have you for free..."

Hearing this, a surge of fire flared in Clara's chest. She shoved him hard by the shoulder and yelled, "That still isn't your money! You better return all the money you extorted earlier today, or else I'm calling the cops!"

Calling the cops? Zane's eyes widened. "Clara! I'm your brother-in-law!"

Clara couldn't be bothered to waste her breath on someone like him. Without yielding an inch, she dropped her final warning. "You have until this afternoon!"

And she walked away.

Behind her, Zane stared at her retreating back, so furious he was about to grind his back teeth to dust! Nearby, passing nurses cast glances at him and whispered among themselves.

"What are you looking at!" Zane barked.

A young nurse rolled her eyes. "Serves him right. Men who bully their wives never get good endings!" Over the past few days, while changing dressings in the ward, they had caught him bullying his wife multiple times.

Beside him, Toby Marsh recognized the man as Clara's brother-in-law from a photo in the background check he ran previously, and leaned in to inform Dominic. Dominic narrowed his eyes.

Zane flashed a sycophantic smile. How could he miss this chance to speak one-on-one with Dominic Jarrett? He hurriedly pulled a business card from his pocket and offered it to him, unintentionally revealing the ring in his palm. He introduced himself, "Mr. Jarrett, I'm an employee from the marketing department of the Capital City branch, Zane Sutton..." It was full of groveling.

Toby couldn't help but frown. Afraid of delaying his boss's medical checkup, he stepped in to block him. "We have business to attend to." Yesterday, his boss was in low spirits, went to a club to drink, and ended up with stomach pain. Feeling unwell, he hadn't returned to Somerset and was only dragged to the hospital today after much persuasion. Toby shoved aside the overly eager Zane.

However, in the next second, Dominic suddenly raised a hand to stop him.

Frowning, he stared intensely at The Silver Eternity Band resting in Zane's palm. The nerve on his temple twitched as he asked coldly, "Where did you get that ring?"

Toby froze, following his gaze. When he saw the ring, shock washed over him! This ring looked exactly like the one Sarah West had once given to their boss!
