Chapter 1467 Not Deserve to Be My Wife
In this lifetime, Michael could never repay Megan.
Michael's eyes were red with regret.
He never imagined that Laura could be so cruel. She had always seemed like a good person, but she was ruthless enough to kidnap Megan and even cruelly sever her limbs' tendons.
Laura was too vicious.
How could he have married such a malicious woman?
And even let her bear his child.
If Michael hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it.
What pained Michael even more was how he would face Megan.
After the doctor left, Asher came up to report, "Mr. Michael Jude, I'm sorry. We intended to send Laura to the police station as you instructed, but after you left, Mr. Derek Jude came and took Laura away."
Michael grabbed Asher, his eyes fierce. "You had so many people, and you still let Derek take Laura away? What am I paying you for?"
Asher's lips moved, and he finally said weakly, "Mr. Derek Jude is also from the Jude Family, and he's the president's son. We..."
"But EchoReach is under my control, not Derek's," Michael roared. "If you can't figure out who your boss is, there's no need for you to stay at EchoReach. Understand?"
Asher recalled Derek's words, feeling a surge of frustration, "Mr. Michael Jude, we had no choice. Mr. Derek Jude warned us that EchoReach isn't just yours. If it was, it wouldn't need to exist. And on my way back, Mr. Eric Jude called, telling us not to harm Laura."
"Do they think I want to harm Laura? I wouldn't. But Megan was tortured by Laura like this. I have to give Megan an explanation," Michael shouted in anger. "Since they're all stopping me, then call the police. Let the law handle it. Whoever committed the crime should be punished according to the law."
"Are you really going to send your own wife to jail?" Suddenly, Caroline's angry voice came from behind.
Michael turned around to see Caroline and Julia approaching.
"Mom." Michael's eyes instantly reddened. "I don't want to either, but you didn't see how badly Megan was tortured. She's not only paralyzed but also disfigured, and she had a miscarriage. She can never get pregnant again. All of this is Laura's doing. Please, don't protect her anymore."
"Miscarriage?" Caroline was stunned. "Your child?"
"It should be mine." Michael was also confused. "I was drunk that day."
Caroline slapped him hard, nearly driven mad with anger. "How could I have raised such a bastard like you? You swore to us that you would send Megan abroad and that you were innocent with her. But now, you even have a child with her. I understand now. Even if Laura did it, Megan deserved it."
"Mom, how can you say that?" Michael covered his face, deeply disappointed. "I only found out today that Megan was pregnant. She never intended to tell me. She never wanted to ruin my marriage. If this hadn't happened, I would have sent her abroad next week."
Julia's lips curled in a sarcastic smile. "You're too naive. She didn't tell you because she was afraid you'd make her get an abortion. Once she was abroad and further along, or after the child was born, you'd have to take responsibility. By then, Laura would know, and there'd be no chance of reconciliation."
"Julia's right. Can you be rational? Stop being fooled by her. Megan is not a good woman at all," Caroline almost pleaded.
"Stop it. You all have a bias against Megan." Michael didn't believe them. "You only protect Laura, not knowing right from wrong. I think Laura dared to be so arrogant and vicious because of your protection."
Caroline felt dizzy with anger.
The biggest grievances Caroline had suffered in her life were all because of Michael.
Julia held Caroline's shoulder and turned to Michael coldly, saying, "Michael, no matter how capable you are, don't try to fight the entire Jude Family. You should know the consequences. Don't lose everything for Megan. You might not care, but think about Joseph. He's also eyeing Megan. If you weren't watching over Megan, Joseph would have torn her apart. If you completely offend the Jude Family, how will you protect Megan?"
"Am I your family, or is Laura your family?" Michael was furious.
"First, Laura is Maeve's mother. Grandpa can't tolerate any member of the Jude Family going to jail. Second, this is Uncle Carl's decision," Julia said coldly, "Stop thinking about Megan all the time; consider your child for once."
"I want to think about Maeve, but has Laura, as a mother, ever thought about her?" Michael raged. "Laura is not fit to raise Maeve. A woman like her will only corrupt the child. You are my family, so you should help me get the child back."
"Get the child back?" Caroline took a deep breath. "Are you sure you want to divorce her?"
"I don't want it to come to this, but she forced me," Michael said, his throat tightening, "Laura is too vicious. She doesn't deserve to be my wife."
Besides, given the current situation, how could he face Megan without a divorce?
Caroline couldn't say another word.
Although Caroline agreed to Laura and Michael's divorce, as a mother, she didn't want her son to divorce. Caroline thought that as long as they weren't divorced, and Michael was unwilling, there was still a glimmer of hope.
"Do whatever you want. I don't want to care anymore." Caroline said, completely disappointed.
She had previously kicked Michael out of the house, hoping he would improve.
But Caroline realized that Michael had fallen into Megan's trap. The more she cared, the worse things got.
"Michael, listen to me. Let this matter end here," Julia warned before helping Caroline leave.
As soon as they left, Michael punched the wall hard, making a heavy sound.
In the luxurious bedroom, a gentle breeze stirred the heavy, elegantly patterned curtains.
When Bernice opened her eyes, her neck and head were in pain.
Her mind was blank for a full minute before she remembered what had happened before she lost consciousness.
She should have been in that factory, but how did she end up here?
Where was this place?
Bernice sat up abruptly, realizing that her clothes had been changed into a clean red nightgown.
Who changed her clothes?
Where was Megan?
