10 Days To Escape My Marriage Chapter 10
Overnight, the situation online exploded into a massive uproar.
The story went instantly viral, spreading at a geometric rate.
The Harrington Family realized their predicament too late, a cover–up was now impossible William stared at the headlines of several trending topics, his face ashen with shock.
ITECH GIANT HARRINGTON GROUP TREATS HUMAN LIFE LIKE DIRT, ACTING ABOVE THE LAW!] [WEALTHY DAUGHTER–IN–LAW TORTURED BY SISTER–IN–LAW FOR FOUR YEARS, NEAR DEATH MULTIPLE TIMES!
He clicked on a random trending topic.
The post contained Isabella’s full medical records and surgical reports from the past four years, along with a devastating, secretly filmed video.
The footage was clearly recorded secretly in Isabella’s hospital room… William’s heart sank to the bottom.
This time, it would be very difficult to save Vivi’s medical license.
Agitated, he played the video. On the screen was Isabella’s pale, gaunt face, tears shimmering in her eyes.
“I’m not sick, it’s a drug allergy… yet you still make me take pills?
Victoria, what are your intentions!”
Immediately after, Victoria’s arrogant and gloating face appeared in the frame.
“I am bullying you. So what if you know?
There’s nothing you can do about it except endure it!”
It had to be said, the tears of the “sick beauty” of the upper class carried a lot of weight.
Even William, who had lived with her day and night for four years, was infected by the despair and sorrow in the video, feeling a sharp pang in his chest.
His eyes swept over the comments below, where netizens were filled with righteous indignation, rising up in condemnation.
[The adopted daughter of the Harringtons chose medicine and hyped up her ‘angel in white‘ persona. I never expected she was this kind of person!]
[Look at those diagnosis records and surgery forms, it’s terrifying!
If she’s this cruel to her own sister–in–law, imagine how she treats ordinary people. I’m never going to a Harrington Group hospital again.]
[Exactly! From now on, boycott all businesses under The Harrington Group!]
[I hope the authorities investigate immediately, give Isabella justice, and make sure certain heartless people get the punishment they deserve!]
Victoria watched along with him, her face flushing red and green with rage, stomping in fury.
“It must be that bitch Isabella!
She filmed me secretly, and she made me look so ugly while making herself look so beautiful… How can she be so evil!”
“William, you have to avenge me!
Take out her kidney–no, just slash her face to pieces…”
“Shut up!”
William felt his blood pressure skyrocket, his eyes turning red.
“Do you realize the severity of this? This evidence is enough to get your license revoked, or even send you to prison!”
But Victoria only cowered for a second before becoming arrogant again. “Brother, don’t scare me. I’m carrying the Harrington family’s grandson. Would you and Father really watch me go to prison?”
“I heard the prisoners there are really vicious. I might miscarry… could you bear that?”
Emboldened and fearless, she tugged at William’s hand, giggling.
“Alright, don’t be mad. At most, I’ll take a step back this time. I won’t make Isabella go under the knife, just give her some pills, okay?”
Instantly, William remembered those drugs that made Isabella vomit blood and lose control of her bladder, growing even more agitated.
Back then, he had flown into a rage too.
But he had scolded her, he had grounded her, yet Victoria remained incorrigible.
What could he do?
Was he really going to send her to prison?
William looked at the face he had doted on since childhood, but his heart was filled with exhaustion and disgust.
But as his gaze swept over Victoria’s stomach, he sighed again. “Thomas, have the Harrington Group’s PR team handle the public opinion immediately, whatever the cost.”
“Also, schedule a meeting with President Walker of the Medical Association. He and Father are old friends; he might be able to help.”
The assistant left to execute the orders, but after a single phone call, his expression changed drastically, and he hurried back.
“Sir, the police are at the hospital. They say there have been mass reports accusing the Young Miss of intentional injury… They’re taking her away!”
The worst–case scenario had happened…
William closed his eyes in resignation.
Only now did Victoria truly feel fear.
She grabbed William’s arm, trembling. “Brother, I don’t want to go back to jail! It’s dirty and smelly, and there are so many scary people… Call Father, quick! Tell him to save me!”
William dialed the number, but what came from the other end was his father’s icy response.
“Issue an official statement. Cut all ties with Victoria.”
“All these years, relying on your pampering, she’s been out of control. Do you know how much trouble she’s caused you!
Now that things have escalated to this point, if you don’t start sacrificing the pawn to save the queen, do you intend to drag the Harrington Group down with her?
Victoria, struck with terror, screamed at the phone. “Father, I’m carrying Brother’s child! That’s the Harrington Family’s only grandson!
Aren’t you afraid the Harrington line will end with you?
Her words only earned a cold sneer from Arthur. “You ungrateful wretch. We raised you for years, yet you try to pass off a bastard to taint the Harrington bloodline… You know best whose child that really is!”
As his voice faded, the room fell into a dead silence.
William’s face turned ashen. Only then did he recall what his assistant had said earlier.
He said… there was something wrong with the Young Miss’s baby.
What was wrong?
Was it possible that Vivi wasn’t carrying his and Isabella’s child?
But he had watched the embryo fusion and personally oversaw the implantation!
He whipped around to look at Victoria. Seeing the panic written all over her face, his blood ran cold.
“What exactly happened…”
Gone was William’s usual tenderness.
Veins bulged on his forehead and his eyes were bloodshot. He violently grabbed Victoria’s wrist, exploding in rage: “Speak!
“Where is my child?
What have you done to them!”
