Mr. Warner, Your Wife is Running Away Again!-Chapter 626: Something Happened to Vanessa

"Cough, cough—cough—"

Vanessa Sterling coughed, feeling suffocated and uncomfortable, she forcefully pushed Miles Sterling away and spat the dumplings stuffed in her mouth onto the ground.

After staggering, Miles Sterling angrily grabbed Vanessa Sterling’s hair and dragged her off the chair.

Her knee hit the cold hard tile floor with a "thump", and Miles Sterling forced her head up by pulling her hair.

Seeing Miles Sterling’s face turn menacingly terrifying, as if the demon sealed inside him had awakened: "Have you been living too comfortably lately, huh?"

Vanessa Sterling’s body trembled uncontrollably due to fear, and tears fell because of the pain in her knee.

Miles Sterling dragged her by the hair to the place where the dumplings fell and pressed her head towards the ground, his eyes bloodshot as he shouted at her, "Pick it up and eat it!"

Vanessa Sterling struggled, grabbing the hand he was using to pull her hair. During their tussle, the bowl of dumplings on the table crashed to the floor with a "bang", ceramic shards scattering everywhere.

Today, Vanessa Sterling was different from before; faced with Miles Sterling’s violence, she transformed from initial fear and panic into resistance.

But her resistance was insignificant to Miles Sterling.

Miles Sterling, holding her hair, froze momentarily when he saw the fierce hatred in her eyes.

He felt that such hatred shouldn’t appear on Vanessa Sterling’s face, as she had always cried and begged him in the past.

Just as Miles Sterling was in a daze, Vanessa Sterling, sitting on the floor, lifted her leg and kicked him hard in the abdomen.

Using almost all her strength for that kick, Miles Sterling released her and clutched his stomach, his gaze turning even more vicious than before when he looked at Vanessa Sterling.

Before Vanessa Sterling could fully stand up from the ground, he rushed over and grabbed her by the neck, pressing half her body onto the table.

This time, he used his foot to stomp on her hard, his hand turning white at the knuckles from exertion, as if he genuinely intended to strangle Vanessa Sterling: "You got some nerve, huh?! Daring to hit me?!"

Vanessa Sterling found it hard even to make a sound, her hands flailing and struggling in panic...

Accidentally knocking over the pen holder on the table, her hand felt a sharp pair of tweezers, which she grabbed and fiercely jabbed towards Miles Sterling.

She didn’t know where she had stabbed, but through her blurred vision, she seemed to see red liquid immediately oozing out.

The strength pressing on her neck disappeared, and as she covered her neck, coughing, she heard a rush of footsteps followed by a woman’s anxious voice: "What happened to you two?! Miles, are you okay? Why is there so much blood?!"

"Miles! Miles!! Quick! Call 911."

Vanessa Sterling caught her breath, and when she stood up, she saw Miles Sterling standing not far away, covering his neck and staring at her.

The place where he was holding his neck was completely red with blood, his hands stained entirely red, with red patterns printed on his white robe.

Vanessa Sterling was also frightened by the scene in front of her, instinctively stepping back.

Her mind was blank, having no idea what she had done, nor what she should be doing at that moment...

Suddenly, Miles Sterling laughed, chillingly and eerily, like a scene from a horror movie, sending shivers down one’s spine.

The woman went out to find a phone, dialed for an ambulance, and hurried back to support Miles Sterling into the living room.

Vanessa Sterling looked at the bloodstains on the floor, her entire body trembling with fear.

She didn’t know what she was thinking; for a moment, she felt it would have been better if Miles Sterling had really died.

The siren of the ambulance quickly sounded from outside the window, breaking the silence of the night.

Vanessa Sterling heard the commotion from outside the house quiet down again.

Feeling that everyone had already left, she tremblingly walked into the living room.

Looking at the blood trail stretching from her room to the living room, the whole house reeked of a nauseating bloody smell.

Having just heard the woman crying anxiously, but not hearing Miles Sterling’s voice, she wasn’t sure how serious his injury was...

Not sure how long she stood in the house, Vanessa Sterling slowly calmed down.

She felt that she might be facing two paths: the first being if Miles Sterling died, she would be imprisoned for murder; the second being if Miles Sterling didn’t die, she had no idea what kind of storm she would face when he returned...

If she could choose, she hoped for the former.

Returning to the room to clean up the bloodstains, she wondered whether cleaning it up would be considered deliberately tampering with the crime scene if Miles Sterling was really in trouble.

Thinking this, she immediately put down the cloth in her hand and called the police to surrender herself.

She even felt that the police station was safer than this so-called home.

...

The next morning, Audrey Sutton and Phoebe King naturally woke up at almost nine o’clock; most of the brothers in the house had already gone out, except for Scott Sutton and Norman Sutton, who had their own schedules.

Stephen Sutton, who had a day off, was also nowhere to be seen.

Going downstairs, Hazel Yates had already prepared breakfast and said to the two of them, "I’m just waiting to see how late you can sleep."

Phoebe King smiled and asked, "Mom, where did the eldest Sutton go?"

Hazel Yates replied, "He got in touch with Lana; I asked him to bring the girl over so I can have a chat with her."

Audrey Sutton drank a sip of porridge from her bowl, grinning mischievously, "Then I’ll go wake up Six later."

Hazel Yates quickly interjected, "Don’t wake him; I’m afraid he’ll ruin my plans. I really admire that girl’s skills; whether she can become my daughter-in-law depends on my good fortune."

Phoebe King quickly flattered, "Mom, becoming your daughter-in-law is our blessing."

"Vroom, vroom, vroom—"

Hearing the car sounds outside, Hazel Yates immediately stood up and walked towards the door, muttering, "So quick?"

Audrey Sutton and Phoebe King also carried their bowls and gathered over.

When Hazel Yates opened the door, she saw Laura Yates’ car.

"Laura, why are you here so early?"

Laura Yates got out of the car, smiling, "I’m on vacation and came to hang out with Audrey and the others."

Hazel Yates hurried over to greet her, "Come in quickly, it’s freezing outside; why aren’t you wearing more? Your hands are cold."

Laura Yates laughed and explained, "It’s always like this; as soon as it gets cold, my hands and feet get icy."

"Second sister-in-law, have you had breakfast? We’re eating right now."

Laura Yates walked towards Audrey Sutton and said, "I already ate, had breakfast with your second brother before he went to work this morning."

Saying this, Laura Yates, while changing her shoes, pulled Audrey Sutton aside and whispered, "I heard from your second brother that Vanessa seems to be in trouble."
