Torn Between Love and Hate novel Chapter 138

Chapter 138 Little Alyssa 

Ashton looked at his family doctor nearby, who came at once and reminded him. 

“Mr. Mullen, amnesia is not easy to diagnose. And we’re unable to check for mental health problems unless at a 

certain stage.” 

Even if Deborah were diagnosed with something wrong with her head that could cause amnesia, it would still remain 

only a possibility. 

As long as Deborah put her foot down and said she did not lose her memories, she didn’t. 

Ask for mental health issues; there was no doubt that Deborah had none. 

If Ashton went to falsify reports with doctors, with the combined strengths of Deborah and Joseph, they could still 

put up a fight. 

If Ashton went to falsify the reports, Joseph could also tell the truth to the doctor. 

“I’m done talking,” said Deborah directly. “Will this evidence be enough to press charges against Ashton and Hector Mullen?” 

“I’m afraid audio recordings would be inadmissible in court, Mrs. Mullen,” said the police truthfully. 

“First of all, audio records are easy to falsify. Secondly, if you recorded in secret, your recording may not be what the -others were truly trying to say. 

“Others might joke or say something impulsively without knowing themselves being recorded.” 

Deborah nodded. “Understood. So that’s a no, then. No matter. I will gather the evidence I need. 

“So, can I press charges for divorce and separate from my husband during the procedure for personal safety? Is that alright?” 

Ashton suddenly could not recognize the Deborah Shepherd in front of him. 

She wasn’t like this before at all. Since when did she become so eloquent and calculative at every move? 

Deborah leaving with him yesterday, her helpless obedience… All of it was just an act. 

She used to be quite a coward. The Deborah he knew would never stand up to him like this. 

Ashton panicked and desperately tried to grab onto Deborah. “No, I will not allow you to leave. You’re coming with 

me.” 

Deborah reacted quickly and avoided his hand. Then Dr. Garza squeezed through and walked straight to her. 

“Ms. Shepherd, it occurred to me that you’ve had a stomachache these days, and we’ve made an appointment to fetch the drugs. If it’s okay with you, then come on.” 

The guests had their fun. They were quite shocked with the recordings Deborah just played and are starting to feel scared about the Mullen family. 

They started exiting the party, and Hector’s face went as dark as it could be. 

Deborah was leaving with Dr. Garza when Ashton stopped them furiously. “Drop the act, Dr. Garza! You’ve been in all this with Joseph Black! 

“You’re trying to take Deborah away now and bring her over to Joseph’s place, aren’t you? We’re not divorced yet, you know!”

have the freedom to move around, you know,” Deborah said in a toneless voice. “I confess to my marital infidelity. If you sue me now, I’ll go with the police immediately. 

“If not, then I’ll be on my way. I reserve my right to live separately from you during the divorce lawsuit. 

“Of course, it was my fault I cheated on you,” she added. “I’ll ask for nothing on the division of property in divorce. I’ll even throw in a considerable compensation for mental damage should you need it.” 

Veins appeared above Ashton’s head. “Deborah, you’ve already committed bigamy living with Joseph all these years. Don’t think for a second that I wouldn’t put you in prison for this!” 

Hector came and berated Ashton. “Enough! Let them leave. You’ve already brought enough embarrassment to your family. Just finalize your divorce and get this whole thing over with!” 

The evidence Deborah just brought out was not enough for her to press charges and lock away Ashton and Hector. 

But such recordings would be more than enough to ruin the Mullen family’s reputation. 

Only fulfilling Deborah’s demands and finalizing the divorce would make her stop. The sooner, the better. 

Ashton clenched his fists. Deborah smirked. “I will cooperate when you sue me about the bigamy. I’ll take my leave 

now. 

“I am making the divorce. You can be sure of that. I will also gather evidence of the Mullen family abusing me. Then we’ll see about who will go to prison first.” 

She then strode out. 

The living room was all but emptied; only Adrian and Rebecca remained to gawk on. 

Rebecca had her eyes set on Ashton. She did all this so she could have him. 

Of course, this satisfied her. 

And Adrian, however, had his eyes set on Deborah. 

Adrian remarked in amazement after seeing Deborah leave. “Quite the character. Still keeping her head up while 

cheating. My aunt taught her well.” 

The driver hurriedly reminded him. “Let’s just get out of here, Mr. Adrian. No need to pay heed to other people’s privacy.” 

Adrian saw everyone else leave and stood up to leave. 

The Mullen house was already in chaos, and no one came to serve him. 

Adrian left directly. “How’s my Alyssa? How did the contest go?” He asked. 

“Just came in,” the driver smiled. “She defended her crown in the piano contest.” 

Adrian laughed. “Excellent. Let’s throw her a celebration party tonight.” 

He walked out in a good mood, passing right by Deborah, got in the car, and left. 

Deborah got out and was about to get in Dr. Garza’s car when Hector followed her outside. 

Deborah thought he was out to scorn her more, but the old man kept it low when he walked up to her. 

“I apologize on behalf of Ashton about what happened before. I assure you, Ashton will be divorced from you soon, and I hope you can forgive us for what happened before.”

Deborah was stunned for a bit. Then she realized Hector heard her recordings and was scared she had gotten more. 

He got a guilty conscience about what he did, which means that he admitted to everything 

“Heh,” Deborah scoffed at him in disdain. She got in the car and left without saying anything else. 

Dr. Garza drove in front. Deborah got in, and Joseph hopped in the back with her. 

Ashton broke free from Hector’s bodyguards and came out, trying to stop them. 

Hector turned around and slapped him hard on the face. “You bastard! I already told you Deborah was no easy girl you could fool around with. This ends right now! The Mullen family cannot afford any more mishaps!”
