Chapter 882: Chapter 882

"You damned thing, I should never have had you!"

These days, Ethan Allen and Emily Allen had been constantly quarreling, both nearly losing their sanity.

"Shouldn’t have had me? Can’t control yourself, so you put the blame on others? I think having a father like you is a real disgrace."

If Ethan Allen hadn’t been so incompetent, she’d still be the lady of the Allen family, sailing smoothly through the entertainment industry, instead of ending up in this predicament.

Ethan Allen’s eyes bulged with veins throbbing in white-hot anger as he trembled, pointing at Emily.

The daughter he once adored the most had turned into this.

Ethan Allen felt his heart pounding, a feeling of swelling rushing through his veins to his head.

"Right, when the time comes, all the money Charlotte Thompson pays up goes to me, since you’re old anyway and won’t last much longer."

Just at this moment, Emily was pouring fuel on the fire.

Ethan Allen felt his temples pulsate, unable to bear it any longer, he snatched up a decorative piece from the table and hurled it at Emily.

"I’ll kill you, you curse!" New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novel[f]ire.net

They were close, and Ethan’s move was so sudden that Emily had no time to react before it struck her head.

Blood streamed from Emily’s head, and then her body slackened, collapsing to the floor.

The sight jolted Ethan, the bloodlust in his eyes receded.

With a clang, the decorative piece fell to the floor.

Ethan was shaking all over, somewhat in disbelief of what he had just done.

Ethan called out tentatively, but Emily on the ground showed no response.

At that moment, Ethan’s legs gave out, and he dropped to the floor.

He couldn’t have really killed his own daughter, could he?

Ethan’s gaze drifted anxiously, and he frantically covered his mouth.

Then, he swiftly dragged Emily’s body behind the desk to hide it.

He wiped the blood from the floor with paper from the desk, but before he could finish, Mia Stewart rushed in hastily.

Ethan was nearly scared out of his wits, his expression panic-stricken as he looked at Mia.

"The court summons has arrived."

However, Mia, already alert, didn’t notice what Ethan was doing.

Ethan murmured dazedly, his eyes involuntarily drifting toward the desk, where he seemed to see a hand belonging to Emily protruding.

Ethan shouted, and then dragging Mia, he ran out of the study, only to be met by the court officers.

Due to the relationship between Charlotte Thompson and Justin Battleson, the trial proceeded very quickly.

Ethan Allen and Mia Stewart were taken to court, terrified every step of the way, each with their own thoughts.

Outside the courthouse, a crowd of media who had heard the news had gathered, and upon seeing Ethan and Mia, they raised their cameras to take pictures, the flashing lights blinding.

Justin Battleson and Charlotte Thompson also arrived at this time.

Upon seeing Charlotte, Ethan wanted to rush over, but fortunately, he was restrained by the people behind him.

"My daughter! Charlotte! I’m your father!" Ethan exclaimed loudly.

However, all he received was Charlotte’s cold gaze.

Today was the day everything would be settled.

The trial officially began.

The Allen family had hired a lawyer long ago, thinking that if Ethan made a pitiable plea in front of the media, it might catch Charlotte’s attention, and if that failed, they would sue her directly.

But before they could do that, Charlotte made the first move.
