Divorce me I'm done serving you (Ayla) novel Chapter 886

James frowned and glanced at Halle’s expression.

In all the time he had known her, he had never seen her this furious.

And every bit of that emotion was because of Edgar.

On that point, James had lost.

It was absurd to feel jealous in a moment this ridiculous, but he did. And he hated it.

The corner of James’s mouth lifted. He slid an arm around Halle’s waist and pulled her against him, then turned a provocative look on that idiot Edgar. “With my looks, my background, and my overall excellence, it’s not exactly hard to understand why she’d like me, is it?”

James didn’t bother hiding his contempt. “Your fiancée doesn’t want to marry you anymore, and instead of looking at yourself, you pick her apart and dump every bit of blame on the woman. No accountability. No backbone. What kind of man does that? I shouldn’t have to spell this out for you. Your lack of ability and responsibility is exactly why you lost Halle.”

James added, “Edgar, you don’t deserve Halle. Halle should be with someone better—someone genuinely outstanding. At the bare minimum, that man should be truly happy when he sees her working hard and rising higher. He should want to celebrate her.”

Those last words made it clear that everyone outside had heard Edgar and Halle’s argument.

Edgar had only dared say those thoughts to Halle, and even then, part of him had been trying to make himself look pitiful.

But James and the others had heard everything.

That struck Edgar like a blow.

If they hadn’t heard, he could still pretend he had some ground left to stand on.

But once his weakness had been laid bare in front of the enemy, every weapon he had vanished.

Humiliation hollowed him out. He was so thoroughly shamed that his mind went blank and he couldn’t find a single thing to say.

He had never been this humiliated in his life.

In that moment, Edgar looked like a beaten dog, trembling from head to toe.

Tyler stood just outside the door, his face shifting from livid to pale. Whatever dignity he had as an elder had been dragged through the dirt.

He was so angry he couldn’t even speak.

James had known from the start that Edgar wasn’t a real threat. But face-to-face, Edgar was even more pathetic than he had imagined.

Edgar had already lost to himself.

There was nothing left to say.

Because there was no point.

The winner was obvious.
