My Ex-Husband Always Knew That I Had Cheated on Him
Chapter 168 Is There Anything Intolerable!

Chapter 168: Chapter 168 Is There Anything Intolerable!

Selene Wilson smiled faintly and spoke calmly.

There was no sense of schadenfreude in her words, no trace of mockery, nor any hostility—she was merely stating the facts in a straightforward manner.

Yet her words felt like a heavy hammer, striking mercilessly at Chloe Simpson’s heart.

In that moment, Chloe finally realized the most terrifying consequence of her actions tonight—attacking Alexander Johnson.

Yes, of course—this is Alexander Johnson we’re talking about!

The Crown Prince of the Capital Circle, the Young Master of the Johnson Family, and the future heir of the Johnson Clan Group.

Such an immensely significant figure—if anything were to happen to him because of her knife...

Ha! Forget about dragging her entire family down with her.

If this were ancient times, it might have been a crime punishable by the extermination of entire clans!

Chloe’s knees went weak, and she almost collapsed on the spot. Luckily, she managed to slump into the long bench in the hospital corridor.

Afterward, she simply sat there in a daze, completely unresponsive.

Until Selene Wilson’s voice rang out beside her ear again.

"Miss Simpson, if I were you, I’d go to any lengths to cling to Alexander Johnson’s good graces right now. Whether it’s stabbing yourself in his presence or dropping to your knees to beg for mercy—you have to make him shield you. Only then can you save yourself and your family."

Chloe turned sharply toward Selene Wilson.

She couldn’t deny it—Selene’s suggestion was a good idea. In fact, at this point, it seemed like her best option.

But what baffled her more was—why would Selene Wilson bother giving her advice?

Selene Wilson was the Wilson Family’s heiress, the one destined to be associated with Alexander Johnson.

Granted, Chloe had never had any official status in Alexander’s life—not as his girlfriend nor his lover.

But regardless, she’d slept with Alexander Johnson, which made her, in some sense, his woman.

As his soon-to-be fiancé, Selene should despise her to the bone.

Even if she didn’t hate her, viewed her as irrelevant, there was still no reason for her to help!

Just as Chloe was puzzling over this, a man and a woman approached from the other end of the hallway.

None other than Alexander’s parents, Gabriella Dyer and Liam Johnson.

"Uncle, Aunt, you’re here."

Selene Wilson, ever polite, promptly stood up to greet them.

Chloe, of course, noticed them too, but she had no position to step forward and greet them.

Whether it was Gabriella and Liam’s earlier maneuver to force her divorce from Lucas Hughes for Alexander and the Johnson Family’s reputation...

Or her attack on Alexander tonight, she simply had no standing.

Subconsciously, Chloe rose to her feet, cautiously standing to one side.

Tonight, it was indeed her who acted—it was her who stabbed Alexander Johnson with a knife.

She was in the wrong, there was no question about it, and she admitted it!

"What’s going on here? Who stabbed Alexander? Weren’t you supposed to be at Bastian Taylor’s birthday party? How could something like this happen out of nowhere?"

Gabriella was the first to speak as she approached.

She was well aware of everything happening—and as the mastermind behind it all, she naturally wanted to seize control of the narrative right away.

"Aunt, here’s what happened. No one intentionally stabbed Alexander to take his life or anything like that. It’s just that Miss Simpson and Alexander seem to have some sort of conflict, and during their dispute..."

Selene immediately started explaining, even speaking on Chloe’s behalf.

This startled Chloe even more.

But before Selene could finish, Bastian Taylor interrupted her.

"Uncle, Aunt, it’s her! This woman! We were having our birthday party, everything was going fine, and out of nowhere, she barged in through the door. Right off the bat, she was looking for trouble with Alexander. Who knows what deep grudge she holds against him."

"Alexander didn’t even do anything—he simply said he’d talk to her outside. But she outright refused, and during their scuffle, she saw an opening, picked up a nearby fruit knife, and stabbed him."

"Who knows if she wasn’t sent by some business rival or someone the Johnsons previously offended. With the Johnson Family’s stature and influence in Kyohai, there are plenty of people who’d want to harm the Young Master."

Bastian didn’t just fan the flames—he outright distorted the truth.

"I didn’t! Chairman Johnson, Mrs. Johnson, I was angry tonight, yes, but I never intended to kill Young Master Johnson or anything like that. Besides, it was Young Master Johnson who acted first."

"About half a month ago, my mother was kidnapped. At the time, the kidnappers demanded 1 million dollars. I had no choice but to borrow 1 million from the Young Master."

"After that, I moved into the Young Master’s place. I’m sure the nature of our relationship is clear to both of you. But tonight, I suddenly discovered that the person who orchestrated my mother’s kidnapping was none other than the Young Master himself."

"In such circumstances, was it wrong for me to confront him? As for the knife, it was an accident—it happened during the scuffle between the two of us. I didn’t mean to!"

Chloe was stunned and immediately defended herself.

It was true—she did stab Alexander Johnson, but there was a reason for her actions.

"What did you say? Alexander kidnapped your mother?"

Liam Johnson was shocked to hear this.

"Yes, Chairman Johnson, I..."

Chloe responded quickly, but Gabriella abruptly cut her off.

"What do you mean, ’yes’? Just because you say so it’s true? And even if—let’s suppose—what you’re saying is true. You keep claiming your mother was kidnapped, but was your mother injured? Did Alexander stab her with a knife too?"

Gabriella spoke without any regard for fairness, her tone aggressive.

"Mrs. Johnson, you’re being unreasonable!"

Chloe could hardly believe her ears.

What did she mean by asking if her mother was injured?

What did she mean by asking if her mother was stabbed as well?

So, unless her mother had been hurt or stabbed, it didn’t count?

Did being kidnapped—leading to her mother’s heart attack and potential death—not matter?

"Unreasonable? Chloe, if anyone’s being unreasonable, it’s you! Tonight, you stabbed Alexander. Even if he did kidnap your mother, does that justify stabbing him?"

"Ha! To plan a scheme like kidnapping your mother and trick you into borrowing 1 million dollars—Alexander must have taken a liking to you."

"Alexander is the Young Master of the Johnson Family, the future heir of the Johnson Clan Group—it’s your honor that he took an interest in you. And yet, here you are, making trouble and stirring conflict! Truly ignorant of good fortune! Laughable!"

Gabriella sneered, her words dripping with contempt.

It was as though she didn’t even see Chloe as a person!

Consider it an honor that Alexander was interested in her?

Chloe laughed coldly—such blatant bullying! Enough was enough! How could she tolerate this any longer?
