I was shocked and frozen. I couldn’t believe how utterly heartless Tristan truly was.
For Jessica, he had let me, his wife of many years, die in that steamer, while he happily took Jessica on a trip abroad. And now, for her sake, he was going to drive his own flesh and blood out of the house?
Jessica’s eyes erupted with immense joy. She had always feared that Tommy would inherit Tristan’s wealth. Hence, she had always seen Tommy as a thorn in her side. Now, Tristan’s actions played perfectly into her hands.
With a touch of emotion, she embraced Tristan, her voice trembling. “Tristan, I will give you the smartest and most beautiful child!”
Tristan snorted. “Of course. You’re the best. Crystal is nothing compared to you. I still can’t believe she would eat her own filth just to survive—what good genes can she have?”
His tone was filled with disdain. “Let her stay there for a few more days. Let her learn her lesson. In a few days, I’ll release her and divorce her.”
I wanted to laugh sarcastically, but my throat felt as if it were blocked by cement, and no sound escaped.
