Chapter 323 Deceit for the Bone Marrow
Richard and Megan took Ashley away, for they didn't want the couple to divorce.
If things escalated, it would only worsen their relationship.
Now that they gave Mark some space, there was a chance for things to soothe.
Ashley walked out of the hospital, still fuming. "I should never have agreed to let Mark see that bitch Arya. Now they've had a chance to rekindle their old flame."
Ashley was both angry and heartbroken. She had been with Mark for so many years, and in the end, he still went to Arya. He even said that if it weren't for the White family's coercion, he would never have married her.
Ashley's heart was chilled to the core.
Richard said, "Ashley, you still don't know men well. What men want is power and status. Mark doesn't dare to divorce you, so don't worry. He'll calm down in a few days. He can't afford to divorce you, so don't make a fuss. Give him some face in public."
As her father, he knew Ashley's temper very well.
Ashley, unwilling to accept it, said, "Dad, Mark has hit me. He's lost his mind and insists on divorcing me. What should I do?"
Megan said, "If he wants to leave, then he leaves with nothing. I don't think he dares. The White family is still very powerful. Come, stay home with me for a few days."
Ashley had been doted on since she was a child. Even at fifty, she was still like an overgrown child, who would run back to her parents whenever something happened.
Richard and Megan, nearly eighty years old, were still worrying and handling matters for Ashley.
The White family was convinced that Mark was just putting on a show and wouldn't dare to divorce. They planned to wait for a while before approaching Mark again.
But this time, the White family was wrong.
Mark was determined to divorce and even spent money to make it a trending topic, exposing his decision to divorce Ashley online.
Mark revealed online that he and Arya had been in love since their youth, but the White family had used their power to force him to abandon her and marry Ashley.
Now, unable to forget his old feelings, Mark wanted to reunite with Arya and even revealed that they had a daughter together, whom he wanted to make the heiress of the Jackson family.
This news caused a huge stir online.
The Jackson Group was a multi-billion dollar enterprise, and having a daughter as the heiress instead of a son meant giving everything away to someone else.
The White family saw the trending topic and couldn't just do nothing.
Ashley threw a fit at her home. "Mark has really gone mad. He wants to give the company to Maggie?"
In the hospital, Timothy and Melissa also saw the online uproar, and Melissa realized the gravity of the situation.
"Timothy, Dad wants to give the family fortune to Maggie. What are we going to do?"
Timothy was stunned. "Dad has lost his mind. I'm his son. He said I would join the company and inherit the family business. How can he give it to that woman?"
Melissa, more composed and meticulous, said, "Timothy, it seems Maggie is quite capable. We can't confront her directly. When you see her, you must restrain yourself and get along with her."
Timothy disagreed. "Melissa, we don't need to get along with her. She's Dad's illegitimate daughter, not our real sister."
"Timothy, just listen to me. Otherwise, we might end up with nothing. Mom is impulsive, and now that Dad wants a divorce, Mom will definitely suffer. We can't do anything about it. The only thing we can do is not provoke Maggie."
Though a year younger than Timothy, Melissa was more calculating. Living each day in a battle with death, she cherished her life and was more composed.
Melissa knew Timothy was soft-hearted. As she spoke, she deliberately coughed a few times with her face turning red. She clutchedg Timothy's clothes and weakly said, "Timothy, I don't have much time left. I won't be able to help you much in the future. This is all I can do. Don't confront Maggie directly, understand?"
As she spoke, Melissa's breathing became labored, as if she might die at any moment.
Timothy, heartbroken, said anxiously, "Melissa, don't say such silly things. I will save you. I won't let you die. My bone marrow matches yours. We can do a bone marrow transplant. I'll go arrange the surgery with the doctor right now to save you."
Hearing this, Melissa had a triumphant glint in her eyes before she pretended to faint.
"Melissa, Melissa." Timothy panicked and rushed out to call for a doctor. "Doctor, save my sister. Quickly arrange the surgery and transplant my bone marrow to her."
