Too Late to Love Her: When She Divorced, He Fell Apart-Chapter 91: Can You Control Your Wife?

"Miss Sutton, I haven’t done anything disrespectful to you."

Even with Joy Sharp’s good temper, she couldn’t help but get angry at this point.

This Jade Sutton had been badmouthing President Hale since she entered the room, flipping faces like turning pages, as if trying to inherit the culture of face-changing here.

"If you want to file a complaint, go ahead! I’m going to the hospital for treatment. If there’s any delay, I can sue you, Miss Sutton, for intentional harm!"

Recalling the spilled water, Joy Sharp thought it might also have been Jade Sutton’s deliberate act.

Jade Sutton immediately took out her phone and dialed Claire Hale’s number.

Claire Hale was just leaving the court, taking out her phone to check on Joy Sharp’s situation.

Seeing the familiar but unremarked number on the screen, her eyes darkened immediately as she answered, "Jade Sutton."

Jade Sutton said aggrievedly, "Claire, come and see, that Lawyer Shaw from your office is really unprofessional, getting physical with me."

Claire Hale didn’t believe Jade Sutton’s words.

But now Jade Sutton called her, and Joy Sharp didn’t.

That meant Joy Sharp must be in trouble.

...

As Jade Sutton appeared full of grievance, Joy Sharp suddenly smacked her forehead—

"Are you Tristan Lockwood’s mistress?!"

The flowing eyes, almost brimming with water, were surely unforgettable!

Jade Sutton’s face suddenly changed.

She even slapped Joy Sharp on the face while she was still in shock.

Joy Sharp’s hand was still burning, and now she was slapped without reason, her eyes immediately reddened.

She didn’t have Tina Hayes’s natural courage, nor could she be as calm as Claire Hale. She was just an ordinary girl. Being humiliated and slapped by Jade Sutton, the grievance inside her overflowed like a breached flood, pouring out incessantly.

"Miss Sutton, aren’t you going too far!" Joy Sharp’s voice quivered with anger.

"I’m excessive?" Jade Sutton coldly laughed, "You’re just a dog working for Sean Lockwood and Claire Hale. What right do you have to question me?"

She raised her hand and gave Joy Sharp another slap.

Joy Sharp couldn’t dodge, barely taking two steps back to steady herself, glaring angrily at Jade Sutton.

"Miss Sutton, so you are this kind of woman, still claiming to be President Hale’s friend? You’re not worthy of being her friend at all!"

"I’m not worthy, but you are?"

Joy Sharp opened her mouth, faster than her was the cool female voice from the door: 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Of course she is."

Claire Hale hurriedly walked in, steadied Joy Sharp, and coldly looked at Jade Sutton, saying, "Being friends with her is my blessing. As for you, I’ve never been friends with you. Today’s event, I’ll relay it unaltered to Sean Lockwood. As for your divorce agreement, if you don’t want to sign, he naturally has a way to make you sign."

Jade Sutton’s gaze swept maliciously over their arms interlocked, then quickly changed to grievance, with tears streaming out, "Are you not willing to hear my explanation?"

"I know what kind of person you are." Claire Hale looked at her coldly, "I have nothing about you I can trust."

Jade Sutton’s face turned exceedingly pale, and she asked word by word, "You don’t care at all about what we went through together in childhood?"

"Everything in childhood?"

Claire Hale looked contemptuously at her fake, insincere face.

"Are you referring to how you secretly directed Jude Hale and Renee Lynn to bully me, then tricked me into seeing you as a savior?"

Jade Sutton’s face looked increasingly bad, "Whoever told you such rumors, you’d rather believe them than trust me, right?"

Claire Hale ignored her.

Joy Sharp, her hand still red from burning, just wanted to get people to the hospital quickly.

So she walked straight to the door without looking back.

After a few moments of stunned hesitation, Jade Sutton suddenly grabbed the ashtray on the tea table and hurled it fiercely.

Claire Hale hadn’t anticipated that Jade Sutton would suddenly go mad, without any awareness.

But beside her, Joy Sharp glimpsed Jade Sutton’s action from the corner of her eye, instinctively embracing Claire Hale, taking this heavy hit for her.

The ashtray hit Joy Sharp’s back with a dull thud.

Claire Hale saw Joy Sharp’s expression twist in pain almost instantly.

Still she didn’t turn around, and quickly took Joy Sharp to the car, sending her to Central Hospital before immediately calling Sean Lockwood.

"Can you manage your wife?"

Claire Hale suppressed her anger and yelled softly.

On Sean Lockwood’s side, there was first silence for a moment, then his calm voice sounded, "What happened?"

Claire Hale conveyed the situation Joy Sharp just shared in the car.

Sean Lockwood, listening, said in a deep voice, "I understand. I’ll draft a new divorce agreement and have her sign before sending it to you."

Claire Hale replied blandly and then hung up the phone.

At this moment, she was too angry at Jade Sutton’s actions to think too much, so she didn’t notice Sean Lockwood suddenly being so agreeable.

Until Sean Lockwood then sent her a message, asking: [Are you hurt?]

Claire Hale replied no.

Sean Lockwood: [Good.]

She stared at the word for a few seconds, not understanding what Sean Lockwood meant by good.

After handling Joy Sharp’s burn and getting the medicine, Claire Hale asked, "Should I take you home, or have Jude Jacobs pick you up?"

"Don’t let Jude come. If he knows, he’ll definitely tell my parents. I don’t want my parents to worry."

Joy Sharp sat on the long bench in the corridor, head down, voice very low.

Claire Hale watched the tiny strands of hair move under the fluorescent lights at the top of her head.

A soft place in her heart ached slightly. Joy Sharp’s injured appearance inevitably reminded her of the feelings she had watching Jade Sutton’s injuries as a child.

She crouched down, looking up at Joy Sharp, asking softly, "Are you feeling wronged?"

Joy Sharp bit her lip, her eyes gradually turning red, as she leaned over and hugged her, starting to sob.

Warm tears wetted Claire Hale’s shoulder.

Joy Sharp cried and said, "I’ve never been slapped in my life before. If Mom and Dad knew I was treated like this outside, they’d stay up all night worrying. When I went home for New Year last time, I saw their hair had turned white. I don’t want them to worry anymore. But I can’t grow up, President Hale, why am I so weak, that Jade Sutton hit me, and I didn’t dare to fight back... boo hoo hoo..."

Claire Hale sighed heavily in her heart.

She gently patted her back and comforted soothingly, "Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, I’ll never let you suffer such grievances again."
