I told her, “Put me down and take pictures of everything.” She followed my instructions and gently let go
before taking pictures of the assault from various angles.
Soon after, she called the authorities and mywyer, Adrian.
Seeing Ivanna’s actions, Matthew grew agitated.
He yelled, “You caused this, Chloe! Even if you call the cops, nothing will change.
You’re in my house, and we’re still married.
So what if we fought?” “I’ve had enough of your excuses!” Ivanna retorted and threw the knife at him.
Startled, Matthew bolted to the master bedroom while narrowly avoiding the knife.

However, I smiled and reassured her, “Don’t cry.

him.

Wife at Home,” “Man Deceives Terminally III Father–in–Law for Assets,” and “Havoc at Wife’s Home,
Hospitalized After Assault.” I didn’t think I would need to humite myself just to divorce him.
That night, I asked Ivanna to deliver food to my mom and tell her I had urgent matters to handle.
I dared not visit my parents because I could barely move.
Not wanting them to worry, I told Ivanna to keep the incident a secret and tell them I had fallen asleep.
I knew my parents seldom used their phones, so they wouldn’t discover the trending news so quickly.
Ivanna even fetched Ava from daycare before returning.
Meanwhile, I had an ice pack on my face as I endured my pain to make the noodles Ava enjoyed.
When Ava finally slept, I received a call from As.
However, I didn’t answer because I didn’t want him to see me like this, I became a sensitive topic and
finalized the divorce.
Moreover, I didn’t want to stir up any more trouble.
As continued to call, so I turned off my phone.

to hide my injuries.
I also used a turtle–neck sweater to cover the bruises on my neck.

He said he didn’t care about the house or assets.
I nodded and promised him I’d leave Matthew.

After a brief stay, he left.
When I sent him off, he nced at me and said, “You have twenty minutes.
I’ll be waiting for you in my car downstairs.” “I can’t leave yet,” I replied.
However, he ignored me and went downstairs.
I red at him for never giving me a chance to refuse.

I was shocked as I asked her, “What else can he be, Mom? Don’t overthink it.
We have a professional rtionship, and he has helped me a bunch.
Otherwise, I couldn’t have reimed the house and assets.” My mom went silent while I nervously
thought of excuses to leave early.
Ultimately, I met with As within twenty minutes.
He looked at me strangely, but his tone was gentle, “Are you okay?” I thought he would scold me for
not answering his calls.
Still, I replied, “Yeah, I’m fine.” Suddenly, he embraced me.
His voice was full of warmth, yet he growled, “Damn it! Did all that beating make you stupid?”
