Luke’s gaze unsettled Mandy. She tugged his sleeves and said nervously, "Luke, I really didn't know things would come to this, I thought...”
"Enough." Luke's eyes were icy. "I have nothing more t o say to you."
"Luke, don't get mad at me. I know that it's my fault, I really do..." Mandy pleaded but Luke's expression only grew more distant.
Madam Ainsley was still shocked by the revelation that Madam Jenkins was the murderer after having come all the way for the hearing as well. But she was instantly upset by how Luke treated Mandy.
She went to them. "Luke! How could you blame Mandy for this! She doesn't know that your mother would do something as abominable as killing her own husband. If I have my say, she deserves to be imprisoned.”
Mandy often complained about Madam Jenkins's peremptory ways to Madam Ainsley, causing the latter’s dissatisfaction. Now that Madam Jenkins was serving her time, she was kind of gloating in it.
Luke glanced at her coldly. "Madam Ainsley, it’s good that you're here. The Jenkins won't be able to accommodate someone so sublime like Mandy. Take her back to the Ainsleys."
What? Back to the Ainsleys?
Madam Ainsley and Mandy were both shocked.
"Luke, are you chasing me away?" Mandy paled immediately as she cried out shrilly, "I'm not going back to the Ainsleys. I'm already married to you. I'm a Jenkins. I'm still bearing your child."
There were only thick layers of frost in Luke's eyes. When he looked toward Mandy, there was also forbearing hatred. "Child? I've never anticipated this child! Go back to the Ainsleys. You can decide whether to keep or abort the child. Whatever it is, we’re getting a divorce. I’ll have someone send the divorce papers to the Ainsleys."
Luke turned to leave after that.
Mandy blanched, subconsciously wanting to chase after Luke. However, with the violent mental stimulation, her eyes rolled back as she collapsed on the spot.
"Mandy, Mandy!" Madam Ainsley caught the former as she gasped.
There was a slight pause in Luke's stride, but he left without turning back in the next instant.
In the lobby, Luke saw Julian and Susan.
"Luke." Charlotte got nervous unknowingly.
"Charlotte, go home first. I still have matters to attend t o!" Luke gritted his teeth as he took large steps toward Julian and Susan.
"Susie." Luke stopped Susan.
Susan was a little dazed looking at Luke.
