Chapter 753

Elaine was utterly shocked by Jacob’s raucous grunt!

She knew that, at this moment, she couldn’t keep the secret anymore, so she mumbled in a sheepishand shaky voice, “Dear, I’m sorry, I lost all our money in the mahjong…”novelbin

She didn’t dare to tell the truth about Hannah being the mastermind behind the scam, because sheknew that if the Wilson family knew about her involvement in the scam despite being a victim, theywould come to her first since they were looking for Hannah frantically.

Of course, she was not doing this to protect Charlie, she simply didn’t want to invite trouble for herself.All those people were reported as missing persons after Don Albert sent them to the coal mine, shefeared that she might be dragged into this mess if an investigation was executed regarding theirmissing status.

Thus, she could only say that she lost the money on gambling but not the scamming part.

Jacob was up in arms about her confession that she lost more than two million in mahjong that heslapped her hard in the face and shouted, “Damn you, fucking woman! How could you?! How could youpossibly lose more than two million? Do you know how long it took us to save that much?”

This was the very first time Elaine was physically beaten after marrying Jacob for decades. The slap onher face was so relentless and unexpected that it made her stun in a daze!

Elaine covered her swelling cheek for a short while before regaining her composure and howled inagitation, “Jacob Wilson! How dare you slap me?!”

“Huh!” Jacob gritted his teeth in great dismay. “Take this, fucking woman!”

Then, he raised his hand and slapped her face again.

Jacob was cheesed off by the fact that he couldn’t hold himself down. He grabbed Elaine’s hair,slapping her face over and over again as he cursed, “Mahjong! Gamble! You have lost all our hard-earned money, you fucking useless bitch! Not only will I kill you, but I’ll also divorce you!”

Claire was taken aback by the horrid scene and wanted to stop the fight, but Jacob growled, “Don’tstop me! I want to kill this bitch and completely draw a line with her today!”

Elaine’s blood boiled as she was being slapped so vigorously that her face was drenched with herblood and saliva, but Jacob’s remark made her panic!

She knew Jacob’s temperament very well after being married for decades. Jacob was truly furious rightnow!

A person who rarely got angry blew a casket abruptly which indicated that he was very angry!

If Jacob divorced her now, she would be left alone!!

No, she didn’t want that to happen, so she endured the pain of being slapped and cried, “Dear, I’msorry… I’m so sorry… please forgive me!”

Then, she knelt on the floor as her legs went jelly. She grabbed Jacob’s leg like a koala hanging tightlyto the tree trunk and wailed, “Dear, I didn’t want to lose so much money, but I was out of my mind thatday, my so-called friends deceived and scammed me. I’m sorry, I’m so sorry! Dear, I’ve learned mylesson, please forgive me!”

“Learn your lesson?” Jacob glared at her and chided, “If you learned your lesson, why didn’t you tell meimmediately? Why didn’t you tell me anything at all? If you learned your lesson, why were you being soself-righteous and cocky to me earlier? Do you think this matter will just go away like it never happenedif you didn’t let me see the account balance?! Do you think I’ll let this matter slip just because you kneel

before me and beg for my forgiveness? No way! Listen to me carefully, Elaine Parker, I want to divorceyou, and it’s final! First thing tomorrow morning, we’ll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to go through thedivorce procedure. I want to end this horrible marriage with you!”

Claire bit her lips in despair as she listened to her father’s indignant statement. No child in the worldwould want to see their parents divorce…
