Too Late to Love Her: When She Divorced, He Fell Apart-Chapter 76: I Want You to Leave Jade Sutton Immediately

Chapter 76: Chapter 76: I Want You to Leave Jade Sutton Immediately

Joy Sharp furrowed her brow, walked over and knocked on the car window; no one responded, she called out twice for President Hale, but still no reaction.

Joy Sharp panicked for a moment, worried that something might have happened to Claire Hale. She pulled at the car door and found it wasn’t locked.

She quickly pulled the door open.

As soon as she did, a strong smell of alcohol hit her in the face.

On the passenger seat, there were a few empty bottles of liquor scattered around.

As for Claire Hale, she reeked of booze.

"Jade Sutton?"

Suddenly, Claire Hale propped herself up and cupped her face.

Joy Sharp felt a twitch in her heart.

Oh no, she’s still drunk.

She quickly dragged her to the passenger seat.

A drunk person is like a puddle of sludge.

Claire Hale was no exception.

Joy Sharp used all the strength she could muster to drag her to the passenger seat.

Then she got into the driver’s seat and drove to Central Hospital.

However, on the way, Claire Hale just sat there silently, without speaking, without making a sound, just silently shedding tears.

Joy Sharp had never seen Claire Hale like this.

Before, when she didn’t know Claire Hale well, she thought her boss was an emotionless, cold machine, invincible.

Now after spending time together, she realised Claire Hale is someone who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, genuine with friends.

But whether it was her, or the others in the law firm, they subconsciously assumed Claire Hale was strong, steadfast, and would never be defeated.

Never had anyone seen her continually shedding tears like this.

When Joy Sharp sent Claire Hale to the hospital, she happened to see Tristan Lockwood getting out of the car.

At this moment, she couldn’t care less about Claire Hale being Tristan Lockwood’s mistress, she rushed up to grab him and said: "Dr. Lockwood, President Hale drank all night, she’s almost alcohol poisoned, could you help to carry her inside?"

Tristan Lockwood was first taken aback, probably not expecting to hear the word ’drunk’ associated with Claire Hale.

Then he immediately strode to the car and carried Claire Hale out.

When he saw her face full of tears, drenched in the smell of alcohol, Tristan Lockwood paused for a moment, his gaze deepened, and he carried her to the ward without a word.

Then he wrote a prescription and asked Joy Sharp to get medicine from the pharmacy.

When Joy Sharp returned to the ward, Tristan Lockwood stood beside Claire Hale’s bed, holding a cup of water, feeding her.

His face didn’t look good, tinged with anger, and he scolded Claire Hale in a low voice: "Drunk like this, what do you think?"

Claire Hale opened her eyes, with a clarity that seemed untouched by alcohol. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

She said, "I want you to separate from Jade Sutton immediately."

Tristan Lockwood frowned, then sneered, "What gives you the right?"

"Because I’m your wife."

When she spoke, Joy Sharp, standing at the door, was shocked.

Astonished, she stared at the two in the ward facing off.

Tristan Lockwood noticed her and shot over a cold glare.

Joy Sharp immediately left the ward and closed the door.

Tristan Lockwood withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyes, and coldly looked at Claire Hale: "Do you think your reason is convincing?"

"Aren’t you unwilling to divorce me? Now, I want you to separate from her, and I won’t divorce."

He suddenly let out a mocking laugh, "You don’t think I refuse to divorce because I can’t let you go, do you?"

The sarcasm in his words was palpable, yet Claire Hale remained indifferent, insisting: "What will it take for you to separate from Jade Sutton?"

"I can’t leave her now."

Tristan Lockwood stared at her as he spoke.

"I’ve told you many times, she’s still undergoing psychological treatment and can’t be agitated. If I don’t take care of her, Sean Lockwood will definitely come after her. In her current state, she can’t handle Sean."

"That’s her own doing."

Claire Hale said coldly.

She lifted her eyes, looking at Tristan Lockwood with no emotion, saying: "If you insist on protecting her, you’re opposing me. Tristan Lockwood, are you sure you want to do this?"

He seemed to hear the biggest joke, curled his lips in mockery, "Do you dare to threaten me now?"

Claire Hale: "You can try and see."

Mutual torment, she was best at it.

Tristan Lockwood’s face darkened, gave her a cold glance, and directly slammed the door as he left.

Joy Sharp stood at the door, seeing Tristan Lockwood come out with a cold face, looking like he wanted to swallow the world whole; she held back her fear and said: "Dr. Lockwood, President Hale was crying non-stop in the car just now, I’ve never seen her cry like that, almost cried herself dry. Has she encountered something, otherwise she wouldn’t be this upset."

Tristan Lockwood’s steps paused, stopped for two seconds, then quickly walked away.

Claire Hale was on an IV drip all day at the hospital; after leaving, she immediately called Sean Lockwood.

Once the call connected, she directly said: "Uncle, can you personally step in and take Jade Sutton away from Tristan Lockwood?"

Sean Lockwood was silent for two seconds before replying: "Are you trying to kick the ball back to me?"

"If you are unwilling, I’ll directly tell Grandfather and Grandmother about it."

Right now, Claire Hale no longer wanted to beat around the bush with Sean Lockwood.

The only leverage she had was The Elder Lockwood.

Sean Lockwood remained unmoved, only saying: "Tell them, and your relationship with Tristan will be completely destroyed."

"I don’t care." She said, "The way things are between him and me now, it’s practically as good as finished. No matter what he does, at most he’ll be targeting my law firm."

"What about your friends?"

Sean Lockwood’s voice was calm, faintly.

"Tina Hayes, Joy Sharp, recently there’s even been Dylan Skinner, right? You don’t care about their survival."

Her heart tightened, with a cold voice she said: "You’ve got the time to investigate the people around me, why not manage your own wife well? If the matter of your own wife seducing your nephew gets out, how much impact will it have on the Lockwood Family, Uncle, you should know better than I do?"

Suddenly, Sean Lockwood went silent.

He noticed the decisiveness in Claire Hale’s voice, ready to give up everything.

This woman, she really dared to poke the sky with a hole.

"People always said you were cold and heartless, and it seems they weren’t wrong."

Sean Lockwood chuckled softly.

Claire Hale: "Thanks for the compliment, Uncle, can you give me a time frame for when you’ll take Jade Sutton away?"

Sean Lockwood thought for a moment and said: "Give me an exact address where I can find her."

Claire Hale directly sent over the location of the psychological clinic.

She asked: "When will you go?"

Sean Lockwood: "Waiting for a rabbit, just waiting for the rabbit."

Despite having Sean Lockwood’s promise, Claire Hale was still not quite at ease, and she went to wait at the psychological clinic herself.

On the third evening, when Tristan Lockwood walked out with Jade Sutton, Sean Lockwood approached the two.

Claire Hale got out of the car, standing not far from the trio.

Just in time to hear them talking.

Jade Sutton saw Sean Lockwood, turned pale with fright, and hid behind Tristan Lockwood, sobbing incessantly.

Tristan Lockwood shielded her, saying to Sean Lockwood: "She needs peace and quiet."

Sean Lockwood tilted his head slightly, looking toward Claire Hale’s direction.
