The Bound Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 322

Chapter 322 

Tavon couldn’t wait to divorce, and now that Ashley had brought up the subject, he was eager to seize the opportunity. 

Tavon’s words left everyone in the ward room stunned. Geneva and Thomas exchanged puzzled glances. Ashley was both shocked and infuriated, her heart filled with a chilling mix of emotions. 

Sandy and Sean were both taken aback. 

Sean quickly intervened, “Dad, calm down. It’s not that serious. You and Mom have been married for so long. Why do you guys have to get a divorce 

now?” 

“Adults are speaking, and children should be silent,” Tavon rebuked, pointing a finger at Sean. To him, Sean was nothing more than a child, unqualified to meddle in adult affairs. Tavon was in full combat mode, attacking anyone and anything that crossed his path. 

“Why are you yelling at your son?” Ashley snapped, defending her son. She shouted at Tavon, “You want a divorce? Fine, bring it on. But I tell you this, you won’t get a dime. The Morton family’s wealth belongs to me and our children.” 

“On what grounds? You think you can just kick me out?” Tavon raised his voice, “Don’t act like the Morton family fortunes depend on your family, the Stantons. I, Tavon, built the Mortons from scratch. If we divorce, I’m willing to split our assets, but that’s as far as my kindness goes. Our son will stay with me, our daughter with you. Let’s go, let’s get this over with.” 

With that, Tavon tried to drag Ashley away. It was clear he was serious. When a woman threatened divorce, it was usually a bluff, a tactic used to make the man compromise. But when a man threatened divorce, he usually meant it. 

Hearing that Tavon wanted Sean but not her, Sandy felt a pang of sorrow. Was she just a burden in her father’s eyes? 

Tavon’s determination made Ashley panick, her bravado faltering. She resisted, trying to pull away, her voice frantic, “Is it because of that wench Salma?, You’re divorcing me because of her, aren’t you, Tavon? You’re such a bastard.” 

Seeing the situation escalate, Thomas tapped his cane heavily on the floor, his voice booming, “Some actions are irreversible. You think divorcing my daughter is easy? You think the Stantons don’t have any say in this?” 

Geneva had lost her confrontational attitude. She warned, “You want to divorce my daughter over some floozy? Be careful not to lose everything the Mortons have built.” Her words were both a threat and a warning. 

Tavon, reminded of how they had forced him to marry Ashley twenty years ago, scowled, “I should have married Salma back then. I can’t waste any more time now. I want to rekindle my relationship with her.” 

His blatant admission shocked everyone. They all believed Tavon was bewitched, willing to divorce for a woman like Salma who had no background or 

status. 

Geneva and Thomas were furious. Turning to Ashley, they said, “Ashley, if he wants a divorce, give it to him. Let’s see how far the Mortons can get without. us.” 

Sean still tried to mediate, “Dad, Mom, stop fighting. There’s no need for a divorce. I won’t allow it.”
