Chapter 344
Maricela’s eyes
reddened, and she put on a pitiful act in front of Lucille. “Lucille, you’re not going back on your word, are you?
Please, let Cedrick go. He’s suffered for five years because of you. Why won’t you let him go?”
Lucille: ?

“Maricela, ask him yourself who’s not letting who go!
I’m begging you, try a little harder, will you?
Get him to agree to get the divorce certificate once the cooling–off period is over!”
Lucille looked coldly at Cedrick.
“How is that possible?”
Maricela’s eyes were blurry with tears. “It was obviously you. You used your disabled leg to threaten Cedrick. He’s so kind, of course he couldn’t bear to divorce you!
Please, stop clinging to Cedrick, okay?”
Actually, what Lucille cared about most at this moment wasn’t that Cedrick was marrying Maricela. It was that she had always maintained a calm demeanor in front of Grandma. Even though Grandma knew she and Cedrick were having problems and were going through a divorce, she had never let Grandma directly face this ugliness.
She was afraid Grandma would get angry, so she held Grandma’s arm tightly, just wanting to end this embarrassing scene quickly and comfort her.
“Alright, stop being disgusting in front of me. Just because you like collecting trash doesn’t mean everyone is into recycling.”
Lucille said with a cold face, then supported Grandma and tried to leave.
But Cedrick moved in front of her, looking nervous. “Lucille, I… I was forced to.”

“Get lost!”
Lucille didn’t want to waste another word on him.
Cedrick then turned to Grandma with red eyes. “Grandma…”

Grandma’s body trembled slightly. She pressed her lips together, holding back from speaking.
“Grandma…” Cedrick suddenly knelt before her. “Grandma, I’m sorry. It’s my fault. Please don’t be angry. I’m sorry…”
“Cedrick!”
Maricela dragged her dress over to Cedrick’s side and pulled at him forcefully. “Cedrick, get up. You have nothing to be sorry for!
Even if she saved you, you’ve already paid her back with five years of your youth and countless amounts of money!
You don’t owe her anything!”
“Shut up!”
Cedrick suddenly snapped, yelling at her.
Maricela was in disbelief, her eyes welling with tears as she started to sob. “Cedrick, you yelled at me. You actually yelled at me for her?”
Cedrick ignored her, just kneeling on the floor with a pained expression, “Lucille, I remember our contract. I’m the one who breached it. I promise you, I’ll give you all my property, and we’ll get the divorce certificate after the Cooling–off Period.”
At his words, Maricela immediately screamed, “What?
You’re giving all your property to her?
You’ve done right by her, but what about me?
What about our child?
Are you going to let me and our child starve?”
“Grandma!”
Cedrick reacted fast, knocking the iron ornament away with his hand. It bounced off his arm and hit the floor.

The sharp points on the ornament pierced his arm, drawing blood.

Lucille held her grandma, checking her over and over to make sure she was unharmed. Then she turned to look at Cedrick’s arm, then at the sharp spikes on the ornament. She couldn’t imagine what would’ve happened if that thing had hit her grandma on the head!
The clerk was terrified, apologizing profusely to Lucille, “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to, I really didn’t. Is the old lady okay? Was she scared?
I…”
The clerk was just an employee, almost in tears. When she turned and saw the blood on Cedrick’s arm, she panicked even more, “I’m sorry… the medical bills… the medical bills… I…”
”
The clerk had knocked the ornament down, but only because she’d been bumped by Maricela. With her salary from x, if the customers demanded a fortune, she couldn’t possibly promise to cover all the medical expenses.
