Now They Want My Forgiveness - Chapter 273: Chapter 273

"You think I'm gonna buy that? I've already heard the whole story. My sister's been away these past few days, and you brought some woman into the house. That's her, isn't it?" his brother-in-law said, his eyes narrowing as he glared at Fiona.
Fiona was freaking out. "I—"
"Oh, so it's you!" Jack's brother-in-law recognized her. "Aren't you from the Clark family? My brother-in-law was into you even before he got married.
"Who would've thought, after all these years, you'd still end up messing around with him? You homewrecker, just wait and see how I'll deal with you!"
With that, he shoved Jack aside and grabbed Fiona, hitting her hard.
Fiona stood no chance against a man like him. She kept begging for mercy, desperately pleading with Jack to save her.
Jack did want to help, but he just didn't have the guts. His brother-in-law was seeing red, and if he tried to step in, he'd just end up getting his own face smashed in. 'No way, I can't risk it!' he told himself.
Andrew watched the scene with a cold snort. "Serves her right! She really thought she could latch onto someone else and make a fool out of me? If she dares to cheat on me, there's no way I'll let her off easy."
Anna felt a bitter ache in her heart. Sure, she wanted Fiona to get what she deserved, but seeing her parents like this just made it clear that her family was falling apart for good.
And she couldn't figure out why Fiona would be so shameless, actually sleeping with such a disgusting guy as Jack. "Dad, maybe we should just go home," Anna said quietly.
"Go home? No way. I want to see her hit rock bottom," Andrew replied coldly.
Fighting wasn't allowed in hospitals, so the security guards outside rushed in and pulled Jack's brother-in-law away.
Fiona shouted, "I'm calling the police. I'm calling the police."
Panicking, Jack quickly said, "No, don't call the police. Baby, listen to me. We're already having an affair. If you call the cops, my wife will divorce me, and I'll walk away with nothing.
"At least we have a place to stay right now, but if I get kicked out, we'll have nowhere to go. Besides, you're the homewrecker here, and things won't end well for you either."
Fiona froze as she realized that was true. 'So I just got beaten up for nothing?' she thought, feeling bitter and helpless. She'd finally managed to get the medicine on, and now she had to start all over again.
Jack tried to soothe her, his voice low and nervous. "Baby, maybe you should just go home for now. If her whole family shows up and catches you here with me, who knows what kind of trouble they'll cause for you?"
Fiona had just witnessed it herself. Jack didn't even try to help her. 'Figures,' she thought with a bitter laugh. 'I'm not even the real wife. Of course I can't count on him.'
But this thing between her and Andrew probably wouldn't last either. Fiona limped out of the hospital, feeling defeated.
Not long after, two people showed up in front of her. Startled, she looked up at them and asked nervously, "What are you two doing here?"
Andrew slapped her hard across the face. "You bitch! How dare you sleep around behind my back with another man? Why didn't they just beat you to death back there?"
Fiona was stunned by the slap. Before she could even react, Andrew slapped her again.
"Last time I hit you, you didn't learn a thing. Instead of crawling back to apologize and admit you were wrong, you went off and slept with Jack. How did I end up with a bitch like you?" he shouted, his voice full of rage.
Fiona suddenly burst out laughing. "You got cheated on. Yeah, I did it on purpose. So what? I've worked my ass off for your family all these years, and how have you treated me?
"Especially your mom, whenever she didn't like something, you always took her side. You never once stood up for me. I cheated on you just to spite you, and I'm gonna take every penny you've got."
