Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband
Chapter 916

Chapter 916

From what Marcus knew, Clair was born and raised in Rosenberg, she was the only child of her parents who absolutely doted on her. The family was pretty much living the dream.

However, when Clair was 20, her parents tragically drowned, leaving her alone in the world. After her parents died, Clair was devastated II was her college buddy. Hawthorne, who helped her get through the tough times.

After graduation, she and Hawthorne tied the knot. They were classmates and dated for a few years before getting married. After they got married, they were deeply in love and enjoyed several years of a sweet life together before having a child.

However, about two to three months after their baby was born, Clair suddenly had a personality change and was asking for a divorce from Hawthorne on a daily

basis

Hawthome figured she might be going through postpartum depression, so he was always there for her, taking her to see shrinks, but her situation didn’t improve.

Hawthorne didn’t want to split up with his wife, whom he adored. He tried everything to keep Clair, hoping to save his family

One wanted out of the marriage, the other was dead set against it. They fought for several months until Clair threatened to slit her wrists…

Hawthorne loved Clair so much. He couldn’t bear to see her die. He saw the resolve in her eyes and agreed to the divorce, agreed to let her go.

After the divorce, Clair left Rosenberg and vanished… If it weren’t for their child, Hawthorne would have thought those years were just a dream.

Now, the Clair in Riverton looked the same as the one Marcus saw in old photos, except for some traces of time on her face, with no visible signs of plastic surgery.

To Marcus, it seemed like Clair might have a split personality. Otherwise, the old Clair who loved her husband so much would never suddenly ask for a divorce after their child was born.

Marcus looked at Hank and then said, “Since you and Clair are so close, why don’t you tell me why she’s even going after her own daughter?”

Hank said, “Clair’s other personality is batshit crazy. Nothing she does would surprise me. Granger Reese has no clue she was married before. Her kid with her ex is like a licking time bomb. She needs a stable position, so she’s willing to sacrifice her own daughter”

Marcus stared coldly at Hank, “You claim to be friends with Hawthorne, yet you staged a car accident to kill him, what should I do with you?”

Once he admitted this, it would mean facing time behind bars, and Hank wouldn’t be stupid enough to admit to something that wasn’t backed up by evidence, “Mr. Artis, you must have misunderstood me, how could I hurt my good friend”

Marcus indeed had no proof that the car accident years ago was intentional, it was all inferred from Hank and Clair’s conversation by Ayden. Without evidence, they couldn’t hand Hank over to the cops.

Hank continued, “Back then, not only Hawthorne was in that car, but also Cornelia. If we staged an accident, both Hawthorne and Cornelia would have died”
