Chapter 788: 788. Let’s get a divorce_1

But Lily Jones couldn’t bear to just leave like that, especially after being scolded by Elly Campbell without any consideration for her dignity. It wasn’t enough to be mocked by the onlookers; how could she stand it?

"Let go of me, Christopher Moore, let go!"

Christopher Moore, far from letting go, tightened his grip even more.

Lily Jones, with an iron-blue complexion, struggled nonstop trying to break free from Christopher Moore’s grip, her mouth spewing out one unspeakable phrase after another.

Such words should never come from a girl belonging to a distinguished family like the Jones Family.

Christopher Moore’s frown deepened as he listened, and a coldness spread over his face. He finally stopped walking, looking at her with dark eyes.

Lily Jones did not expect Christopher Moore to suddenly release his grip. She was startled at first, then looked up to see him rubbing his brow before his husky voice came through:

"Lily, let’s get a divorce."

Lily Jones, as well as the crowd that was about to disperse, all showed surprised expressions upon hearing Christopher Moore’s words.

Elly Campbell was also startled by Christopher’s suggestion, although she felt there was nothing wrong with him suggesting a divorce. However, she hadn’t expected Christopher would actually propose it.

For Lily Jones to push Christopher Moore to the point of initiating a divorce, her combat power was indeed formidable.

Elly sighed internally, knowing that she must not meddle right now. Otherwise, with Lily Jones’s way of thinking, she would surely end up being dragged into it.

"Did Lily Jones inherit all that combativeness from her own mother? To think she could push Christopher Moore to the brink of proposing divorce."

Helen Melendy, who had already been at a loss for words regarding Lily Jones, couldn’t help but whisper a complaint into Elly Campbell’s ear in a lowered voice.

She hadn’t interacted with Christopher Moore before, but having heard Elly mention Lily Jones a few times, her impression of him was very favorable.

Moreover, considering Lily Jones’s relentless nagging just now, and seeing how Christopher Moore didn’t lash out with any excessive remarks, it was clear that he had been extremely tolerant towards her.

To have pushed Christopher Moore to the point of suggesting divorce, Lily Jones was simply indescribable.

Slap—

The moment Helen Melendy finished whispering to Elly Campbell, they heard the sound of a slap delivered with all possible force, making everyone gasp in shock.

"Christopher Moore, you actually want to divorce me because of that ’Fox Spirit’ Elly Campbell!"

Elly Campbell: "..."

Helen Melendy: "..."

The crowd: "..."

Is Miss Jones really President Jones’s sister? Their intelligence seems worlds apart—one in the heavens and one on the ground. Did President Jones inherit all the good genes from their parents, leaving this intellectually challenged sister with the dregs?

Elly initially thought if she didn’t meddle, Lily wouldn’t bring her into it. But now, Elly realized she had been too naive.

How could she apply normal reasoning to Lily Jones’s thought processes?

Did Lily really have no clue why Christopher Moore would want a divorce?

How could she blame everything on someone else?

Seeing the blood oozing from the corner of Christopher Moore’s mouth and the clear mark of five fingers on his face showed that Lily Jones’s slap had been merciless.

Elly shook her head silently, thinking about Christopher Moore’s years of devotion to Lily Jones. Even if he had lavished such kindness on a dog, the dog would wag its tail in gratitude. How had Lily Jones repaid him?

Elly Campbell was done talking about Lily Jones.
