Chapter 465 Pushed to the Edge | 2 Just then, the elevator dinged, and a figure strode over. “Chlo, stop it, let her go!” It was Matthew. He rushed over, prying my hands apart.
After he flung me aside, I lunged at Melanie again.
Matthew glared at me, shouting, “What are you trying to do? Chloe...
I’m warning you, let go!” Melanie was now in Matthew’s arms, panting and coughing. Her face, once purple, was returning to its normal color.
After catching her breath, she pointed at me and cried out to Matthew, “Matt, hit her! You saw it. She was trying to

Make her pay!” Once more, I charged at her. Rows I had never felt so out of control in my life, even when Matthew was violent toward me. No one could stop me.
Melanie’s face turned pale with fear.
Benjamin, Carol, and Eleanor tried to restrain me, holding onto my trembling body.
Matthew was taken aback. He shouted at everyone, “What are you all trying to do? Ganging up on a defenseless woman? You're really...” Before he could finish his sentence, I slipped free and smacked Matthew across the face.
I silenced Matthew before he could say
anything else. My eyes widened, fixed on Matthew.
“Matthew, didn’t you ask why I sent Ava to Celestis Island? It was to give her a change of scenery and help her forget the terror she experienced during the kidnapping.
“I didn’t want her to be traumatized. If you care so much about that bitch, then watch over her. Otherwise, you'll regret it someday!” “Chloe, restrain yourself. This isn’t the first time you’ve resorted to violence.
Don’t push your luck!” Matthew shouted, protecting Melanie in his arms. She was still clutching her neck, struggling to breathe.
“Who's pushing their luck? Matthew, what kind of man are you? I can’t stand by and watch any longer! You're
condoning such cruelty! You're worse than an animal!” To everyone's surprise, it was Benjamin who lashed out. Even the most sincere person could be driven to madness.

This woman is a devil, yet you have the nerve to scold Ms. Chloe?!” Benjamin's eyes widened in fury. He stomped his feet in anger. “I've seen stupid people, but I've never seen anyone as dumb as you. How did you become a father? Even wild animals don’t harm their young! | «you? Where were you when your
daughter’s life hung by a thread? This vile woman targeted a child, and you're protecting her, calling her a defenseless woman... Disgusting! I despise you. You're both despicable!” Someone shouted, “Call the police! She just admitted it herself. Call the police!” Melanie’s face turned pale. She looked at Matthew, shaking her head.
“Theyre talking nonsense. It wasn’t me. I did nothing! I just heard about it!” I yanked her out of Matthew’s embrace. She held onto Matthew with all her might, trying to escape my grip.
“Matt, it wasn’t me! Let go...” “What can’t you do? You could even kick Grace, who raised you through
thick and thin, out of your house, What else are you capable of?” | spat, “Melanie, you're heartless. Ava is just a child. Why did you harm her ?” “Chloe! She’s terminally ill. Why shouldn’t I tell her? When someone is sick, they go to the hospital. Should she just wait at home to die? @ ""Are we supposed to cheer for her while she is dying at home? She’s already on the brink of death. Where she lives doesn’t matter. If she’s going to die, she should do it in a hospital.

“Melanie Murphy, do you want to fucking die?! How dare you curse my mother?! Why did you hire someone to
