Chapter 46 Kelly Is About to Fight Back
urged Kelly to take legal action against him because he was well aware that they were legally married. Even if they divorce, their assets are still considered shared property. While the heritage house had originally been in Kelly’s name, it had already been sold, an undeniable fact Dragging things into court would buy him more time.
On top of that, he planned to hire the most skilled attorney to defend him, whereas Kelly had no one to rely on but herself. Kelly trembled with fury as she glared at Eric.
He had become unbelievably shameless, deliberately using his advantage to oppress her.
Noticing her shaking form, Eric felt a pang of guilt. “Kelly, don’t be like this. I was just upset. I just… need you to calm down. and hear me out. Years ago, the Lynchs were on the verge of financial ruin. Regina was injured while saving me and, because of that, was unable to have another child after Faye. You always said we should repay kindness, that money is meaningless compared to gratitude, so I helped them.”
Kelly’s rage surged to the point that her vision blurred. She despised herself for being unable to fight back, frustration causing her to clutch at her own hair.
Overwhelmed by emotions, she lost control. She gripped her hair, crouched down, and repeatedly struck herself. Michael had given up his life so she could safely return home, not so she could endure mistreatment upon her return! But now, she couldn’t even get a word out. She wanted to scream at Eric, to rip him apart.
She longed to speak, but no sound came.
Kelly, you’re completely useless. Utterly worthless!
“Kelly!”
Melody had arrived, bringing her husband, Oscar, along.
Melody rushed forward, pulling Kelly into a tight embrace, her eyes brimming with tears. “Kelly, I’m here. Don’t be scared” Oscar’s e
expression darkened as he faced Eric. “Mr. Gray, Kelly is in no state to handle any more distress. Please leave.
“I’m her husband. Il be the one to take her with me.” Eric snapped.
“Mr. Gray!” Oscar’s tone carried an unmistakable warning.
Eric had no choice but to turn and leave.
Before stepping away, he cast a final glance at Kelly and murmured an apology.
How ironic
Apologizing after taking a life? How absurd.
“Kelly, Eric has completely lost his mind. You can’t have any lingering attachment to him. He’s not the Eric you once knew,” Melody said, her voice laced with anger.
On the way here, she had overheard Oscar on the phone with someone.
Ene had gathered reporters, lawyers, and the police to find Kelly.
Now, he was trying to twist the truth and make it seem as though she was the one responsible for the failure of their
murrage
“He claims that he and Regina have canceled their marriage. Kelly signed with her hands.
Melody’s expression grew tense. “You’re not… still hoping for something from him, are you?” She asked anxiously.
Chapter 46 Kelly Is About to Fight Back
“Kelly, sorry, I have to tell you something Before coming here, I checked with the City Hall. They told me that Eric still has custody of the child. And you might not know this, but the girl, Faye Gray, was originally registered under both your and Eric’s names. Which means
Once a de facto guardianship was established, or if Kelly never uncovered the truth, then after her death. Faye would have the legal right to claim a share of the inheritance
Kelly stared at Oscar in disbelief, her entire body shaking from the overwhelming fear caused by this chain of events.
Kelly numbly shook her head, leaning against the doorframe as she steadied herself. I’m calling the police.”
She refused to recognize any legal ties to a daughter and was determined to erase Faye’s name from her records.
Tll come with you, Oscar agreed with a firm not.
The child is Eric and Regina’s greatest weakness. I want to pressure Eric into filing for divorce on his own. Kelly took a deep breath and signed her next words. “Melody, do you know any lawyers? I want to take Eric to court.”
