Chapter 288: Chloe Wants a Divorce
These past few days, the Lewis family has become famous again.
The first trending news story was about Chloe from the Lewis family. Despite not being a medical professional, she became a doctor at Global Nexus Group's pharmacy and spent millions of dollars to become the top doctor at this year's medical conference.
Chloe was heavily criticized.
"Shameless."
"Stupid and rich."
Before this news died down, a second trending story emerged.
This one was about Chloe's husband, Larry.
All the major forums are discussing this matter now.
"Rapists deserve to die."
"Shooting him a hundred times wouldn't be too much."
"I just don't get it. Larry has a beautiful wife, so why would he do something like this?"
"Well, you might not know this, but Larry married into the Lewis family. He has no status in the family and reportedly hasn't even had sex with Chloe. Living with a beautiful wife but not being able to touch her must have driven him to do this."
Online, the criticism was overwhelming.
The Lewis family.
Chloe sat dejectedly on the sofa.
As Larry's wife, she naturally paid close attention to the development of this matter.
Seeing these comments online, she felt deeply guilty.
She thought it was her responsibility.
If she had had sex with Larry earlier, he wouldn't have done such a thing.
By now, she had almost come to believe that Larry did it, because all the evidence pointed to Larry.
Larry said he was drugged and knew nothing.
At first, she believed him, but after seeing Trinity, she thought Larry was just making excuses for his crime.
"Chloe, what are you thinking? A rapist like him, what are you waiting for? Now that Larry is a criminal, you can apply for a forced divorce," Maria advised.
"Abigail."
Chloe looked at Abigail.
Larry ending up in jail was a certainty.
Moreover, this matter had already caused a strong public outcry. Larry would likely spend the rest of his life in prison. She didn't want to live alone for the rest of her life, so she thought it was better to divorce Larry while she was still young and remarry someone else.
Abigail frowned and asked, "Chloe, do you really believe Larry would do such a thing?"
Chloe sighed, "I don't believe it, but it's a fact. It's also my fault. I'm his wife, but I haven't had sex with him. He's a man and has needs, which led to this."
"What?"
Abigail was shocked.
Although there had always been such rumors, Abigail didn't believe them.
Because, in her view, Larry and Chloe were very much in love.
They are such a loving couple, yet they have no sex life.
Chloe sighed, feeling deeply guilty.
"Now that it has happened, Larry going to jail is certain. Moreover, his crime is severe, and he will be in prison for at least 20 years. I can't wait for him for 20 years."
"So, you want a divorce?" Abigail looked at Chloe.
"Yes."
Chloe nodded slightly.
Abigail opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but the words didn't come out.
She changed her tone and said, "I support you."
She had her own reasons for supporting Chloe's divorce from Larry.
After their divorce, she would have a chance to pursue Larry openly without feeling guilty toward Chloe.
Maria laughed, "That's right, Chloe. What kind of person do you like? I'll find someone for you."
Chloe shook her head slightly and said, "Let's talk about it after Larry's case is over."
"Okay, okay." Maria stood up with a smile, pulling Scott along, "Chloe, you rest. Scott and I will go to the hospital to see Sam."
"Okay."
Chloe nodded.
After Maria and Scott left, Chloe looked at Abigail with a helpless expression and asked, "Abigail, am I being too heartless? After all, Larry has been diligent and kind to me since he married into the Lewis family. Now that he's in trouble, I'm thinking of divorce."
Abigail didn't know what to say.
From her standpoint, she really hoped Chloe would divorce Larry.
However, as Chloe's good friend, she didn't want Chloe to divorce Larry.
"I thought Larry was honest and decent. Even if he spent money on prostitutes, I could forgive him. But why did he do such a thing? I can't forgive him," Chloe said.
"Yes."
Abigail didn't know what to say, so she just agreed with Chloe.
City Hospital.
Hospital room.
Sam had been hospitalized for several days.
After his surgery, his recovery was going well, but full recovery would take a long time, and he couldn't be discharged anytime soon.
Sam lay in bed, with Mindy taking care of him.
At this moment, Maria and Scott walked in, laughing and chatting.
Sam asked, "Mom, what's making you so happy?"
"How can I not be happy? That bastard Larry drugged and raped a young girl, got caught by the police, and his trial is the day after tomorrow. He'll spend the rest of his life in prison. Chloe is going to divorce him and find a rich man, so I'll have a wealthy son-in-law."
"What?"
Sam was shocked, his voice very loud.
"Larry drugged and raped a young girl? Mom, you must be joking. How could Larry do such a thing?"
Maria said, "It's true. Larry has already been arrested, and everyone knows about it now."
"This can't be. How is this possible?"
Sam couldn't believe it.
Who was Larry? He was once the Black Dragon, a man who stood at the pinnacle of power.
He was the guardian war god of Summer Nation.
How could he do such a thing?
"Mom, are you serious?"
"Yes." Maria took out her phone, found a video, and showed it to Sam, "Look, this is what the reporters captured. This is Larry, and the girl on the bed is the one he drugged and raped."
Sam was dumbfounded.
He couldn't believe it.
Mindy laughed gleefully, "That loser finally got caught. Ever since he married into the Lewis family, the family has had nothing but trouble."
"Shut up," Sam scolded, "You don't understand. Without Larry, our family would have been destroyed many times over."
Sam didn't believe it was true.
He believed in Larry.
To be precise, he believed in the Black Dragon.
There must be something wrong here.
"Mom, is Chloe really going to divorce Larry?" Sam asked.
"Yes." Maria laughed, "If she doesn't divorce him, is she supposed to wait for him for decades? Chloe is almost twenty-eight. If she waits for more than twenty years, she'll be nearly fifty. How is that possible?"
"Mom, Larry..." Sam began.
But just as he was about to speak, he stopped.
Larry had never revealed his identity since marrying into the Lewis family. There must be a reason for that.
So Sam held back.
He believed Larry was innocent.
He believed Larry would soon be exonerated.
Thinking of Larry as the former Black Dragon, he had nothing to worry about.
