Letting Me Go, Jerk Ex

Whip

"Crack!"

"Crack, crack!"

The piercing crack of the whip continued without a moment's pause.

Kristen could bear it at first, but then the pain gradually became insufferable. Not wanting to make a sound, she bit her lip hard. Blood dripped from the corners of her mouth, and then she felt nothing but numbness.

It was like she was unconscious.

"Mrs. Barrett, are you wrong?"

Reed asked coldly.

Kristen kept silent. Her thin back was covered with blood.

The members of the Barrett family were very surprised. Even Nathalie couldn't help glancing at her.

She thought, what has gotten into Kristen? She is usually so timid and cautious. She doesn't even dare to say a word at usual times. And now she suddenly becomes so bold?

"Grandma, it's..."

Trey frowned and looked at Kristen for a long time. Finally, he opened his mouth.

Before he could finish speaking, his sister, Harley, grabbed his arm.

"Trey, don't make Grandma angry.

"She humiliated us, and now everyone is laughing at us for having such a shameless daughter-in-law who plagiarized. She deserves to be punished.

"Besides, if she dies, you can be together with Emilee. Won't that be wonderful?"

Bang!

Kristen couldn't hold on any longer. She fell to the ground and fainted.

"Kristen!"

Trey stood up abruptly.

Ariana didn't even open her eyes. "Wake her up and continue!"

"Grandma, if this goes on, she will die!"

"So what? We can find an excuse anyway. Do you think someone will stand up for her? She's nobody!"

"Let me!"

Harley shouted excitedly. She picked up the hot coffee on the table and poured it on Kristen's bloody back.

Kristen cried out in pain and instantly woke up. She opened her eyes in a daze and met the gloating eyes of the Barrett family.

"Crack!"

The ruthless whip fell on her again.

"Kristen, apologize to Grandma!"

Trey was helpless.

Kristen looked at Trey with the last bit of reason and forced herself to say, "I can apologize, but I have a condition."

"What is that?"

"I want a divorce. Sign the papers."

Trey was stunned.

Others were also stunned.

Kristen endured the pain and reached out to slowly pull the corner of Trey's clothes. "Trey, let go of me. I don't want to be your wife anymore, and I don't want to love you anymore. Let go of me, and free yourself..."

"Trey, say yes!"

Harley was so excited.

Nathalie said, "Trey, she proposed it. We didn't force her. Go to The Supreme Court now and get a divorce!"

She didn't care about Kristen's injuries. She just wanted Trey to get rid of the marriage.

Ariana nodded. "She is a disgrace to our family. You should divorce her. You repaid her grandfather by marrying her. She has been the daughter-in-law of our family. She should feel grateful enough!"

"That's right! Divorce her! She doesn't deserve you!"

"Get rid of her!"

"Kick her out! Don't give her any money! She is a plagiarist!"

All the people in the Barrett family wanted to kick Kristen out immediately. They thought she didn't deserve to be the noble Trey's wife.

Kristen tried to stay conscious and looked at Trey stubbornly.

She was determined to divorce.

Trey was stunned. He was so angry that he grinned. He reached out to hold Kristen's chin and said in a low and cold voice, "So, you have to get out of this marriage, no matter what it takes?"

Kristen gritted her teeth and answered word by word, "Yes, no matter what it takes. Even if I die, I will die without any connections to the Barrett family. I will no longer be a member of the Barrett family. I will no longer be your wife."
