A Divorce Make Me Rich

“I sacrificed you for the sake of our big plan. After all, sometimes we have to give up something we love in order to achieve our goals. You should understand that.”

At this moment, Moore understood.

He had long been a screw in Bryleigh’s plan.

Originally, he believed from the bottom of his heart that it was Anthony’s doing, but he never expected it to be Bryleigh!

Not long ago, Mavis asked him to return to the country to handle work matters. Bryleigh suddenly contacted him and said she could help him get Mavis divorced earlier and come back to his side.

On the day of boarding the plane, he received a text message from Bryleigh. The person who was supposed to be securely taken away according to her plan was kidnapped, but he hadn’t anticipated such a devastating accident – and it turned out Bryleigh was behind it all!

“You’ve gone too far! If you were willing to sacrifice, why didn’t you sacrifice yourself instead?”

If he wasn’t injured and unable to move, he would insist on going over to her and having a good talk with her.

“Moore, you are heartless to say such things. Am I doing this for myself or for someone else?”

Bryleigh admitted that she was partially at fault, but she cannot tolerate his attitude.

“You are certainly for yourself, you want to replace Mavis, so there is no one you cannot sacrifice. You are a vicious woman, and you and that guy Anthony are a match made in heaven.”

Moore’s tone was filled with sarcasm, as if he wanted to vent all his anger from the past few days.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

After a moment of silence, Bryleigh softened her tone and said, “Well, my affairs are not important and won’t cause any big waves. But look at you, your injury has made Mavis so worried. I believe she still has feelings for you in her heart, but currently Anthony holds the main position.”

Moore snorted coldly and turned his head away, not wanting to pay attention to her.

In the hallway, Alistair was running.

After helping his dad pursued his mom, he had nothing else to do. In order not to disturb the couple’s world of two, he led his bodyguard uncle to play hide and seek in the hospital.

The hospital was so big that it was really fun to explore.

By chance, he passed by the door of a ward and heard the familiar voice of a woman speaking.

This seemed to be… that bad woman Bryleigh?!

That bad woman seemed to be talking about his parents.

His little head was full of curiosity, sticking to the door and carefully eavesdropping.

“I’ll be honest with you. When you fell from upstairs that day, you lost consciousness immediately and sustained a serious injury. That was a complete accident, beyond the scope of my plans. But since you were already injured, I didn’t want your suffering to be in vain. I thought it might be an opportunity to shift the blame to Anthony.”

“Why didn’t you tell me before you took action? As an ally, I have the right to know!” Moore was still angry. If they had discussed it beforehand, things wouldn’t have escalated to this point and he wouldn’t be in such a sorry state now, needing help with even basic bodily functions.

“You’ve said enough already. It’s not my fault that you’re so useless after spending years by Mavis’ side without being able to win her over. Don’t blame me for your own shortcomings,” Bryleigh retorted coldly, elegantly standing with her hands clasped at her side.

She was here to discuss their next plan of action, not to explain herself or argue.

“So what you’re saying is that I deserve this injury?” Moore couldn’t contain his anger any longer and wanted nothing more than for her to leave him alone. “Get out! Just go!”

“It’s not just you who’s facing difficulties right now because of all this. It’s because of your actions that I’m being investigated by NIB and have been summoned multiple times,” Bryleigh reminded him irritably.

Outside the door…

Alistair heard every word they said about shifting blame and planning their next move behind their parents’ backs. Realizing what trouble these two were causing and how they were making their parents take the fall for it all made Alistair furious as he barged into the room pointing fingers at them both.

“You two are big meanies! You’re evil schemers who plotted against my mommy and daddy! How dare you!” The sudden intrusion silenced everyone in the room immediately.

Bryleigh exchanged a guilty glance with Moore upon seeing Alistair but quickly regained her composure as she tried to shoo him away from their conversation. “Alistair? Who let you in here? This is grown-up business.”

“Bad woman! You’ll get struck by lightning if you do bad things like this! Come with me now so you can tell my mommy everything!” Alistair stood firm despite Bryleigh’s attempts at dismissing him from the situation entirely.

Just as Bryleigh was at a loss about how to proceed, hesitant to make a move against Alistair, Moore threw her a glance.

In his gaze, there was a hint of fierce determination, a look he had never shown before.

Mavis had personally told him that this little guy was an unbreakable bond between her and Anthony.

If that bond disappeared, trust would erode, leaving their relationship without a bridge. Their marital foundation would eventually crumble.

Without Alistair, everything would be resolved.

Bryleigh understood his glance and nodded subtly.

“Alright, I promise you. I’ll go with you to find Mavis. I’ve been carrying guilt over this matter. If I can explain things to her and earn her forgiveness, I’ll be content.”

Bryleigh spoke sincerely, and as the little one turned away with a dismissive snort, she acted swiftly and discreetly. She picked him up around the waist and covered his mouth as quickly as possible.

The entire sequence flowed seamlessly, executed in a single breath.

Alistair’s short legs kicked back and forth as he struggled in vain against Bryleigh’s expertly trained body. He couldn’t break free from her grasp.

With Moore’s guidance, Bryleigh used a towel to cover Alistair’s mouth before placing him in the bathroom while he was unconscious.

“Are you sure about this? He is just an ignorant child after all. Although I don’t like him either, I never thought of doing something so extreme,” she said hesitantly because deep down inside she was afraid of what might happen if Anthony found out later on.

“The child is the tie between them. If you don’t eliminate him, you won’t enter the Callahan family, won’t become Mrs. Callahan. And I won’t get Mavis. Besides, he’s overheard all your plans. How can you keep him around?” Moore persuaded, “Just release him, and he’ll undoubtedly tell Anthony immediately. Anthony won’t let you off the hook either way. It’s all a dead end, so you might as well take a risk.”

“I understand.”

Since things had come this far, she had no other choice but to go all in.

She just hoped Anthony wouldn’t discover her involvement. Otherwise, all her efforts would be in vain.

Moore added, “Don’t do it in the hospital. It’s too easily traceable. Find a way to sneak him out first.”

“Hmm.”

Bryleigh nodded in agreement but couldn’t help laughing sarcastically at his façade, “You’re really good at pretending aren’t you? You’re even more ruthless than me.”

Moore hung his head dejectedly admitting, “I don’t know if my body will ever fully recover from this injury. It’s made me useless except for Mavis who’s everything to me now.”

Bryleigh raised an eyebrow. Since she wasn’t injured herself, she couldn’t empathize completely with how Moore felt but she didn’t say anything else either way.
