He Secretly Married His Mistress While Living Off My Money—So I Stripped His Wealth Overnight Chapter 05

Snuggled safely in his embrace, Maren fixed a reproachful gaze on me, acting solely out of concern for Brendan’s reputation.

“Do you intend to broadcast this mess and shame Brendan in front of everyone?”

Her words ignited Brendan’s explosive rage.

He strode forward, snatched my phone away and crushed it beneath his shoe until it shattered completely.

Pure irritation clouded his eyes.

“Sorrel! Have you thrown enough tantrums for one day?”

A duty nurse spotted my ashen complexion and sensed grave trouble.

She hurried over intending to carry me toward emergency care.

Brendan blocked her path without hesitation.

“Leave her be.”

“These dramatic fits are a bad habit she’s cultivated.”

“Lock her in a hospital room to reflect on her vicious behavior.”

The nurse hesitated. “She genuinely looks critically unwell.”

Brendan pulled strings with his hospital connections and issued a strict ban forbidding all medical staff from treating me.

He then carried Maren away toward premium private hospital suitee.

Three hours passed after he finished all of Maren’s full-body scans and confirmed her health was intact before he bothered checking on my room.

Crossing his arms, he leaned against the doorway and sighed in manufactured compromise.

“Maren’s young and can’t bear unfair mistreatment; the marriage license was just meant to calm her nerves, nothing more than a slip of paper.”

“You’ve stayed beside me for years; what difference does lacking legal paperwork make? You know you hold the top spot in my heart.”

“Drop your tantrum, I’ve booked Key West private coastal resort tickets for you to clear your head.”

Once your father travels to Havenbrook, he can join the company and take an on-site property security attendant role.”

No reply drifted from the room, not even the faint rise and fall of breathing.

Frowning with unease, Brendan rushed to the bedside and ripped back the bedcovers.

He froze dead in his tracks.

Vast pools of bright red blood burned his eyes.
