Chasing His Runaway Wife

Chapter 140

After Tabitha entered the Sinclair manor, she hesitated and came out again. Then, she hailed a taxi to

go to the outskirts..

After seeing the strange look on Emmanuel’s face when he learned about her car accident, she thought

she could try to find out more information by talking to him.

Tabitha arrived at Emmanuel’s house. The rain had stopped, leaving the road wet and chilly after the

downpour.

Emmanuel hadn’t returned yet, and the house was pitch dark, indicating that Lorelai had probably gone

to sleep.

Standing outside the main gate, Tabitha thought about whether or not she should ring the doorbell.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of a car engine turning off.

Almost instinctively, Tabitha quickly hid in the shadows of a corner, concealing her entire figure.

Emmanuel opened the door and got out. He was still talking on the phone and sounded angry. “Naomi,

I warned you not to touch Tabitha. You should be glad she didn’t get hurt today… Now that Tabitha and

Malcolm are getting divorced, you’re useless to me… I’ll give you some money. Leave and never return

to Xosa forever…”

Tabitha, hidden in the shadows, felt a surge of anger.

It turned out that Emmanuel had Naomi approach Malcolm only to get them to split up.

She thought, ‘But what practical benefits would Emmanuel gain from her divorce with Malcolm? Could

our marriage affect Malcolm’s position. within Sinclair Group headquarters?‘

Various pieces of vital information flashed through Tabitha’s mind, but she couldn’t grasp them.

Just then, Emmanuel noticed something and suddenly looked in Tabitha’s direction. “Who’s there?”

His tall and imposing figure, along with his hazel eyes, exuded a heavy, oppressive force as if he could

strangle her in the next second.

Tabitha broke out in a cold sweat and covered her mouth tightly to prevent herself from making a

sound.

Emmanuel walked toward Tabitha, and the sound of his shoes tapping on the ground felt like each step

was stomping on her heart, like the knocking sound of a door from the depths of hell.

Tabitha froze in an instant, and her back started to sweat. Even though she had hidden well, she

couldn’t shake the feeling that Emmanuel’s eyes, gleaming under the streetlight, had already spotted

her.

Her mind started to race.

At that moment, a hunched figure suddenly approached Emmanuel. Following closely, a wooden stick

forcefully cut through the air and hit Emmanuel on the head, accompanied by a burst of coarse and

malicious laughter.

Emmanuel grunted, and before he could steady himself, he received at

second hit.

Caught off guard, he couldn’t retaliate as the hits rained down on him, leaving him with no chance to

fight back.

The assailant continued to attack and curse. His rough voice was filled with deep resentment. “You little

brat, how dare you play tricks with me? Did you put a tracker in my money bag? I knew it. You

knowingly let me kidnap that woman and waited for me to fall into the trap so you could

report me and have me arrested. Today, I’ll beat you to death!”

“Jayden, how dare you come back…” Emmanuel fought back desperately with his arm. Before he could

finish speaking, Jayden struck him once

more.

Tabitha hid in the corner, and her eyes widened with shock when she saw the attacker.

It was Jayden!

He had kidnapped her and set fire to the house, worsening her physical condition. It’s safe to say, that

if it weren’t for Jayden kidnapping her, her child may still be alive.

And all of this had some involvement from Emmanuel.

‘Those two bastards!‘ she cursed.

In an instant, a raging anger ignited in Tabitha’s heart. She wished she had a knife to stab her enemy

and avenge her child.

However, even Emmanuel was beaten by that scoundrel, and Tabitha repeatedly urged herself to stay

calm. Given her current physical condition, rushing out now would be seeking death.

She quietly stepped back, keeping a safe distance, and called the police. Then, standing in the

shadows, she coldly watched as Emmanuel was beaten senseless.

As Jayden also grew weaker from his relentless assault, Tabitha looked around for a weapon.

In a corner near the door, she noticed an iron rod.

Tabitha’s blood boiled, and her heart was filled with overwhelming fury. She picked up the iron rod and

rushed out, aiming for Jayden’s elbow.

Jayden’s arm went numb, and the wooden stick fell out of his hand. Tabitha didn’t ease her attacks,

continuing with a series of chaotic strikes, each hitting a vital point.

Injured and in pain, Jayden fell to the ground and continued cursing with a coarse and aged voice,

“Who dares to ambush me? You’re seeking death…”

Tabitha glared coldly and swung the stick to hit him in the face.

Although she was usually delicate and gentle, at this moment, her heart was filled with the raging

flames of anger, almost soaking through her whole body, and she was screaming to avenge her baby.

Tabitha was aware Emmanuel was watching, and she didn’t shy away. She swung the stick and beat

him randomly, as if on purpose. Even Emmanuel was beaten several times by her.

When Emmanuel saw Tabitha’s sudden appearance, he slowly regained consciousness. He gritted his

teeth, stood up, and retreated to her side, joining forces with her to subdue Jayden.

Jayden was pinned down by Emmanuel and suddenly burst into laughter. His face, full of wrinkles,

became even more twisted and terrifying.

“Emmanuel, you little ingrate! How dare you hit your father? It’s outrageous,” he said.

Emmanuel’s expression changed slightly.

He didn’t care about Jayden’s insults toward him. However, he was concerned about what Tabitha

would think after hearing those words.

Jayden continued laughing, revealing his yellowish teeth, and emitting at somewhat repugnant odor

under the streetlight. “Bastard, you won’t acknowledge your old man and dared to change your

surname privately. Be careful. Heaven’s wrath will strike you down. Reporting me and causing

me to be imprisoned back then was already the peak of unfilial piety. Today, you even dare to work with

others to beat your father. Beware, you’ll go to hell in the future.”

Emmanuel subconsciously looked at Tabitha.

He never expected warmth from this world, and no matter what Jayden said, it couldn’t stir the slightest

ripple in his heart.

However, he cared about what Tabitha thought of him.

Tabitha thought of her lost baby and looked at the unrepentant villain before her. She was so angry that

she hit him on the foot with a stick again, interrupting his curses. “You’re such a jerk. You even

snatched your wife and child’s living expenses and used them to gamble and buy drugs. You’re not fit

to be a human, let alone claim the title of a father.”

Jayden glared at her and spat out some offensive words. “Bitch, I’m. disciplining my son. Mind your

damn business! Otherwise, as long as I’m alive, I will return to take revenge on you.”

“I’ll be waiting for you.” Tabitha stood tall, her eyes cold and icy, as if a fierce fire was burning within

her. She glared at Jayden, causing a desperado like him to look away. “You brought Emmanuel into this

world, but what did you provide him? Beatings, curses, and starvation… A person like you is

completely selfish and unworthy of being called a father.”

Tabitha’s voice was resolute, echoing powerfully. Though her face remained pale as paper, her eyes

revealed an intensity, that sent shivers down other’s backs.

Emmanuel’s eyes were fixed on Tabitha, and his breath became somewhat erratic.
