“Unless you agree to divorce, you’ll only sink deeper into debt.”
At last, Ethan caved.
“Fine. I’ll divorce you.”
But when I went to sign the divorce papers, Chloe was there too—already discharged.
“Chloe, I’ve done all I can to trick Lily. What more do you want before you’ll help me?”
Ethan, for once, looked humble, his voice tinged with desperation.
Chloe sneered arrogantly.
“That night at the hotel, she beat me so hard I nearly landed in intensive care. I’ve been choking on that anger ever since.”
“If you want me to help your company back on its feet, you’ll have to pay me back first.”
“I want to whip Lily twenty times myself. Agree to that, and I’ll have my cousin invest in you.”
Ethan’s eyes lit up at once. He frowned and came over to me, trying to coax me.
“Lily, just agree. It’s only a few lashes—it’s fair, isn’t it?”
