The Bond Between Us novel Chapter 322

Tavon couldn’t wait to divorce, and now that Ashley had brought up the subject, he was eager to seize the opportunity.

Tavon’s words left everyone in the ward room stunned. Geneva and Thomas exchanged puzzled glances. Ashley was both shocked and infuriated, her heart filled with a chilling mix of emotions.

Sandy and Sean were both taken aback.

Sean quickly intervened, "Dad, calm down. It's not that serious. You and Mom have been married for so long. Why do you guys have to get a divorce now?"

"Adults are speaking, and children should be silent," Tavon rebuked, pointing a finger at Sean. To him, Sean was nothing more than a child, unqualified to meddle in adult affairs. Tavon was in full combat mode, attacking anyone and anything that crossed his path.

"Why are you yelling at your son?" Ashley snapped, defending her son. She shouted at Tavon, "You want a divorce? Fine, bring it on. But I tell you this, you won't get a dime. The Morton family’s wealth belongs to me and our children."

"On what grounds? You think you can just kick me out?" Tavon raised his voice, "Don’t act like the Morton family fortunes depend on your family, the Stantons. I, Tavon, built the Mortons from scratch. If we divorce, I’m willing to split our assets, but that’s as far as my kindness goes. Our son will stay with me, our daughter with you. Let’s go, let's get this over with."

With that, Tavon tried to drag Ashley away. It was clear he was serious. When a woman threatened divorce, it was usually a bluff, a tactic used to make the man compromise. But when a man threatened divorce, he usually meant it.

Hearing that Tavon wanted Sean but not her, Sandy felt a pang of sorrow. Was she just a burden in her father's eyes?

Tavon’s determination made Ashley panick, her bravado faltering. She resisted, trying to pull away, her voice frantic, "Is it because of that wench Salma? You're divorcing me because of her, aren't you, Tavon? You're such a bastard."
