After divorce, Ex-wife Revealed Identities
Chapter 760

Chapter 760

Mrs. Maskelyne was soaked from head to toe, standing in front of thewater feature, glaring at Sylvia. Water droplets trickled down herclothes and splashed onto the ground beneath her.

She was drenched and looked disheveled. Her teeth clenched, chestheaving, and she gripped her hands tightly, seething with anger."Sylvia, you're asking for trouble!"

Sylvia sneered, "Let me take a look at what's inside, shall we?"

"You dare to open it!" Mrs. Maskelyne lunged at Sylvia, with her wetbody sending water droplets scattering onto the bystanders.

The onlookers quickly backed away.

Sylvia raised an eyebrow and raised her hand to meet Mrs.Maskelyne's punch. She effortlessly countered Mrs. Maskelyne's attackwith a palm, sending her flying once more!

Aloud thud!

Mrs. Maskelyne's body followed a similar parabolic trajectory, landingheavily in the water feature again. This time, a larger splash erupted.After struggling for a moment, Mrs. Maskelyne crawled out of the water,knelt on the ground, and coughed vigorously from having ingestedsome water. Standing by the water feature was a tall, elegant womanwith an icy expression, looking down at her.

Sylvia smiled like a demon from hell. "I remember telling you not toscrew with my man.”

She raised her foot and stepped on Mrs. Maskelyne's hand. "If youinsist on behaving like a pest, don't blame me for not respecting theelderly.”

Anything Franklin couldn't do, she was more than willing to do for him."Do you know who I am?" Mrs. Maskelyne, her hand crushed underSylvia's heel, stared at Sylvia with a pale face, alarmed by Sylvia'sunexpected improvement in martial skills since their last encounter. Shehad become even more formidable!

Ouch!

A sharp pain shot through her hand.

She tried to break free, but Sylvia's grip was unyielding.

Just then, dozens of men in black rushed in from the entrance, eachone looking menacing and hostile as they lunged toward Sylvia.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Tyrell went over to Mrs. Maskelyne andpulled her to her feet. She trembled and stood huddled in Tyrell'sembrace, glaring hatefully at Sylvia as she grappled with the men inblack.

At that moment, Franklin joined the fray as well. Blake cracked hisknuckles, making a popping sound. "I haven't stretched my muscles ina while."

With those words, he leaped into action, kicking away the two men inblack who were closest to Sylvia.

Arian watched in fascination. This guy had some serious martial artsskills. In just a couple of minutes, the group of men trained by Tyrellwere all on the ground, whimpering and defeated.

It was a humiliating defeat for Tyrell.

Blake clucked his tongue. "Oh well, anyone else want a turn? This istoo easy."

“I'm disappointed,” he added. He hadn't even broken a sweat yet.Tyrell's face darkened. He glared at Franklin and said with bitterness,"What the hell is going on here?"

The hotel's security personnel and manager were hesitant to intervene.They watched from a distance, fearful that getting involved might makethings worse.

Mr. Mcguire and his group were all stunned by the spectacle. Sylvia'smartial arts skills were incredible, and Franklin's strength wasastonishing. Katie silently thanked her lucky stars that she hadn't beenbeaten to death by Sylvia on that plane — it was nothing short of amiracle.

Taking a deep breath, she moved closer to Mr. Mcguire for safety. Herown life was the top priority.

“Father, I'm no longer the same Franklin as before. I hope youunderstand that," Franklin said. He held Sylvia's hand and continued,"We're leaving."

They turned and left, with Blake and the others following them out ofthe venue in a noisy exit. Tyrell's sinister gaze stayed locked onFranklin's retreating figure, lingering long after they had gone.

Mrs. Wright and her family got into a car and headed their separateways.

The Wright family sat in one vehicle, and Mrs. Wright, as usual, wasthoughtful. "Sylvia is truly amazing. If it weren't for Sylvia and Franklin,we wouldn't have had so many guests at our banquet today.”

"Jenna has been busy lately at the piano association," Brayden said.“There are events to organize, and it's quite a hassle for her to fly backand forth between Larro and Urgford. Maybe our whole family shouldmove here."

“That's a good idea,” Mrs. Wright agreed.

Just then, Mrs. Wright's phone rang, and she picked it up.

Vita's voice came through from the other end. "Aunt, have you arrivedin Urgford? Have you met Mr. Wright?"

Mrs. Wright replied gently, “Yes, we've met. He got promoted. He's nowthe secretary of Urgford. When you have a break, come visit."

Vita was excited. "Really? I'll be on winter break soon. Can I come?""Of course! We have more than enough food at home. Just let me knowwhen you're on break. Urgford is quite cold, though. It's up north andhas different weather compared to Larro.”

“I'll bring lots of warm clothes, and as long as Uncle Wright is safe, I'mhappy." Vita said her goodbyes to Mrs. Wright and ended the call.Brayden furrowed his brows. "Mom, who was that?"

Mrs. Wright explained, "Do you remember that child from the disasterarea, Vita? She's the one who received assistance and went on toattend college in Larro. You've been busy in Urgford with your dad'swork recently, so you haven't seen her, but she often visits me onweekends to chat and keep me company. She's a sweet and kind girl."Brayden felt that something was off. Vita didn't seem to be the kind andgentle person she appeared to be. Jenna, overhearing theconversation, also shared Brayden's doubts.

Suddenly, their car braked abruptly, and they were thrust forward due tothe inertia. The driver panicked and said, "There are two black carsconstantly tailing us! They almost caused me to crash into the barrier."Then, screeching brakes echoed once more. Two black cars stoppedright in front of their vehicle, and several men in black, armed with steelpipes, got out of the cars and approached menacingly.

Cody squinted and said, "These people mean trouble.”

Brayden asked, "Dad, have you offended someone?"

Cody replied, "I just got out of prison. How could I have offendedanyone? I think it's because I took the secretary's position, and somepeople are getting impatient and unhappy.”

The men with steel pipes began attacking their car relentlessly. Thedriver locked the doors, but the attackers continued smashing the cardoors.

Jenna and Mrs. Wright were terrified and huddled together, staringpale-faced at the violent attackers outside. Brayden dialed 911, and ashe spoke to the emergency services, a loud crash was heard as the cardoors were smashed open.

Jenna and Mrs. Wright clung to each other in fear while Brayden spoketo the operator.

Cody instructed the men to stop and approached the car door. Afterbriefly negotiating with the attackers, he stepped out of the car.

Seeing him leave the car, Mrs. Wright cried out, "Cody!"

Brayden shouted, "Dad!"

Cody told the attackers, "You don't need to harm my family; I'll comewith you. But please, spare my wife and son. They are innocent.”Cody opened his car door and walked out calmly, standing his ground.Upon seeing this, Mrs. Wright screamed, and Brayden, feelingpowerless, instructed his mother and sister not to leave the car.

As Cody exited the vehicle, one of the attackers pulled out a gun andaimed it at Brayden. The gun's dark barrel pointed directly at him. Theattacker warned, "Don't move, or I'll shoot your dad in the head.”

With his words, he fired a shot at Brayden's feet, creating a hole in theground and sending dirt flying. Startled, Brayden raised his hands insurrender. He was horrified to discover that these ruthless men werearmed with guns.

The phone Cody left in the car played an important role during thiscrisis. Jenna picked it up and spoke to the police dispatcher, explainingtheir situation. She provided their location, although she wasn't familiarwith the area, using the phone's GPS to determine their exact location.Mrs. Wright, trembling and anxious, kept a close eye on the attackers,praying that they wouldn't overhear Jenna's conversation with thepolice. The dispatcher assured Jenna that the police were on their wayand instructed them to keep the attackers occupied.

Meanwhile, outside the car, Cody was pinned to the ground by severalattackers who brutally beat him. His recent release from prison had lefthim physically weakened, and he was now paying the price for thatvulnerability. Seeing his father's condition, Brayden, full of rage,demanded that the attackers let his father go, offering himself as atarget.

In response, one of the attackers pointed a gun at Brayden's head,warning him to stay still. Cody, struggling to breathe through the pain,tried to persuade his son to stay away and keep himself safe.

As the assault continued, the situation took an unexpected turn when agroup of uniformed officers arrived and surrounded the attackers. Theirtimely intervention marked a turning point in the dangerous standoff.
