Claudine ignored Darlene’s provocation and looked only at Damian.
All she wanted now was to draw a clear line with Damian as soon as possible; she didn’t want to waste any more time because of him.
Damian soothed his daughter, then looked around at the people in the room and the shelves that had been emptied.
His cold gaze fell on Claudine, and in his deep eyes, a storm was raging.
“Get out, all of you!”
But those people were paid by Claudine; there was no way they would listen to Damian’s orders.
They all turned their eyes to Claudine.
Claudine walked around the living room, and whenever she saw something nice, she would point at it, and someone would immediately pick it up, ready to take it away.
By now, Damian’s face was so dark it looked like it could drip water.
“Claudine!”
He rarely lost his composure like this, but just now, when he heard Claudine say she hoped Audrey had the ability to make them divorce-
That sentence echoed in his ears like a curse, striking at his reason again and again.
And then he saw her indifferent face, those eyes that looked at him with disdain, unwilling to spare him even a glance.
Damian could not accept Claudine treating him with such an attitude.
He stepped forward and grabbed Claudine’s wrist.
“What exactly are you trying to do!”
Claudine’s wrist hurt from his grip; she frowned, raised her other hand, and tried to slap him.
But, having learned from past experience, Damian easily dodged.
Damian looked up at the woman before him; the eyes that once gazed at him with affection now held only disgust and
coldness.
Damian frowned, applied a little force, and flung Claudine away.
A woman’s strength was no match for a man’s.

Claudine staggered back two steps, her head hitting the cabinet behind her with a dull thud.
Damian instinctively reached out to help her, but in the next second, Audrey stepped between them.

“Ms. Hogan, you really misunderstood. I never wanted Dami to divorce you. He just feels sorry for me being alone and wants to take care of me.”
Claudine’s head had hit the corner of the cabinet, sending a sharp pain through her, and her vision darkened.
She struggled to get up, reaching out to grab something to steady herself.
Claudine’s hand grasped at the air and caught hold of something. Just as she tried to use it to stand, Audrey cried out in alarm and fell directly onto Claudine.
“Ah!”
“Audrey!”
“Mommy, be careful!”
With a cry of alarm, Claudine fell again, her waist pressed against something sharp, and for a moment, the pain was so intense she nearly lost consciousness.
“Mommy, your hand is bleeding!”
Darlene ran to Audrey, holding her mother’s bleeding palm and crying in distress.
When Audrey fell, she knocked over a small glass table nearby. The glass shattered all over the floor, and her palm was cut by the shards.
“Darla, Mommy’s fine. Claudine didn’t do it on purpose, so don’t be mad at her.”
But Audrey’s words only made Darlene angrier.
She pointed at Claudine, crying and shouting.
“It’s all your fault! You’re a bad woman! Why do you bully my mommy? I hate you!”
Darlene’s accusations were like countless silver needles, piercing Claudine’s heart.
The pain in her body was nothing compared to the look Darlene gave her.
Damian could see that Claudine was probably hurt; her face was deathly pale.
He wanted to reach out and help Claudine, but Darlene kept holding onto him, insisting he look at Audrey’s injury.
It was Darlene’s first time experiencing such a scene; she was probably terrified and sobbed uncontrollably.
“It’s okay, Mommy’s fine. Don’t cry, sweetheart.”
Audrey held her daughter, and Damian stood beside them, protecting the mother and child in his arms.

chapter 107
Claudine looked at the “family of three” before her and felt utterly wretched and defeated.
She thought that after all she’d been through, she wouldn’t be hurt by things like this anymore.
But her heart betrayed her, aching so much she could barely breathe.
She staggered to her feet, her eyes red, but she refused to let herself shed a single tear.
She took out her phone, opened the camera, and pressed the shutter.
“What are you doing!”
Damian frowned and asked.

Claudine took pictures of every corner of the room, and finally, she aimed the lens at the family of three in front of her.
“Of course I’m collecting evidence of your affair.”
She looked at the photo album on her phone, her tone cold.
“Sign the divorce agreement, or I’ll send these photos out.
“I know that in all of Bronzevale, maybe even the whole country, there might not be any media brave enough to ex- pose your scandal, but I’ll post the photos online directly. The netizens will definitely be interested.”
