CHAPTER 233: CHAPTER 233: IT MEANS DIVORCE

Adrian Langley saw this and forced himself to stand in front of his mother.

He was covered in injuries, and every movement caused severe pain, yet he still gritted his teeth and held on.

Leona Sheridan’s slap landed heavily on his back, causing him to cough up two mouthfuls of blood.

"Son, are you alright? Don’t scare your mother..."

Rosalind Linton supported him.

Adrian Langley shook his head slowly, his voice weak but clear.

"Mom, a scumbag isn’t worth your longing. We’ve said everything that needs to be said, let’s go. I never really had a father. We can’t provoke the Langley Family, but we can avoid them."

Victor Langley’s heart jolted when he heard this and was about to speak to ease the tension, but Rosalind Linton replied softly, "Alright, we never wanted anything from the Langley Family anyway, let’s leave now, the further away from these people the better."

The mother and son said no more, without glancing at anyone else, and supported each other as they walked step by step towards the elevator.

They were both injured, but their backs were straight; every step was difficult, yet they walked resolutely, like two scarred yet unyielding shadows.

Victor Langley was suddenly pricked by his conscience, and a wave of pain arose in his heart.

Leona Sheridan snorted lightly, "A slut pretending to be virtuous! A bastard who hasn’t been properly brought up, coming here to recognize a father, why not recognize a ghost instead?"

"Mind your words!" Victor Langley said, suppressing his anger.

Leona Sheridan couldn’t believe it, "You’re yelling at me for them? Don’t forget, my son is the Langley Family heir! If you’re not good to me, in the future..."

"If he’s not satisfied either, he can get out of the Langley Family with you!" Victor Langley interrupted her sharply.

Leona Sheridan was completely stunned, "You... what do you mean by that?"

Victor Langley looked at her, speaking word by word, "It means divorce. According to the prenuptial agreement, I won’t take a penny from the Sheridan Family, and you can’t take anything of mine."

Leona Sheridan panicked, "Husband, I was just having a tantrum, can’t you forgive me?"

"Yes, brother-in-law, this mother and son are clearly trying to sow discord, don’t be fooled." Mason Sheridan said.

"Everyone loves to sow discord, only the Sheridan Family are good people? If you weren’t someone’s lapdog, you’d have been in jail already!"

Mason Sheridan was instantly shut up by Victor Langley’s words.

After scolding him, Victor Langley turned to look at Leona Sheridan.

"Haven’t you done enough immoral things over the years? Now you’re even corrupting our son, my tolerance for you has long been exhausted! I’ve been supporting you mother and son, a pair of ungrateful wretches, when I could have had a woman who could bear me children. Anyone who wants to be a fool can be, but I’m done with it! Expect to receive the divorce papers!"

With that, Victor Langley lifted his foot and went after Rosalind Linton and her son.

Leona Sheridan and her brother were left dumbfounded by this sudden turn of events.

Leona Sheridan was the first to snap back, turning and rushing back to Juliana Jacobs’ ward.

"It’s you! You did all this!" Her eyes were red with anger, "You wretch! Seducing my son, then my brother-in-law, and now trying to break up our marriage. The one who deserves to die the most is you, why haven’t you gone and died yet?"

As she said this, she was about to lunge forward to hit her.

Raine Kane stepped forward, using her shoulder to push her back, causing Leona Sheridan to stumble and fall back into Mason Sheridan’s arms.

Juliana’s gaze was as cold and still as a frozen lake, without a ripple.

"Listen clearly, I won’t be helping Jared Langley with his treatment anymore. If anyone dares to bare their fangs and test my limits again, don’t blame me for cutting off their head."

Leona Sheridan was pinned in place by these words and then raised her voice, "You’re threatening my son’s life, are you still human?"

At these words, a freezing smile appeared on Juliana’s lips.

"A threat?" Her icy gaze swept over the Sheridan siblings inch by inch, "If not for the past debt I owed Jared Langley, did you think, with what you’ve done to me, anyone here would still have the right to speak to me?"

The sudden burst of murderous determination in her eyes sent a shiver through the experienced Mason Sheridan.

A vague yet horrifying suspicion emerged in his mind: Could she be the missing Sinclair Family heiress?

But if she were a Sinclair, Elias Langley would have taken her back to Kingsford long ago, not left her in Kenton to be coveted by all sorts.

Although Mason Sheridan dismissed his suspicion, his momentum was cut in half, and he held back the almost raging Leona Sheridan.

"Sis, calm down, now’s not the time to deal with this bitch. Brother-in-law is just angry and mentioned divorce, how can thirty years of relationship be severed so easily? The immediate priority is to stabilize the situation. As long as you bow your head and show some softness, once this matter passes, won’t we easily get rid of this whore?"

Leona Sheridan calmed down at his words, the light of triumph reigniting in her eyes.

"You’re right, with this whore’s little tricks, does she really think she can fight me? We’ll go back now, and tonight I’ll find a way to bring Victor Langley obediently back to my bed. Juliana, once my son wakes up, I’ll make sure he breaks you, crushes you, makes you kneel in regret for daring to go against me today!"

The two of them left the hospital triumphantly, forgetting to check in on the still-comatose Jared Langley in the intensive care unit.

"Is that even human speech?" Raine Kane said as she closed the ward door.

Juliana lay quietly on the hospital bed, her shoulders relaxing, and her eyes appeared to be covered with a layer of gray.

"She wasn’t entirely wrong; I should have died long ago."

There is nothing more devastating than being abandoned by one’s parents.

Although Raine Kane didn’t know the reason, fearing she might be burdened psychologically, she quickly comforted her, "Leona Sheridan is a shameless shrew, don’t take a single word she says to heart."

Juliana didn’t respond; for a moment, she nearly drowned in the overwhelming weariness, but just then, her phone rang.

It was a call from Rosalind Linton.

An icy feeling instantly dispelled the gray mist in her eyes.

Weakness stops here.

Since she wasn’t dead, others would be.

Her journey was just beginning.

She hung up the call and looked at Raine Kane.

Raine Kane immediately understood, "I’ll go buy you dinner, call me if you need anything."

With that, she left the ward and closed the door behind her.

Juliana redialed the number, and the call was answered in an instant.

"Juliana, we’ve returned to Mercy Hospital, Victor Langley chased after us, but I ignored him." Rosalind Linton said.

Juliana remained calm, "Figure out how to get him to divorce Leona Sheridan, that’s your job."

"Alright, somehow, even though it’s unethical, it makes me happy. But... Adrian advised you to be careful of Mason Sheridan, he’s still got designs on you."

Juliana’s lips curled slightly, "What a coincidence, I’m interested in him too. Let’s see who gets rid of whom first."

As soon as she finished speaking, the ward door opened, and Elias Langley walked in with a food container.

Juliana’s heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively hung up the phone.

Did he hear?

How much did he hear?

If she were her old self, she would never have said such harsh things. Would he be suspicious?
