I Chose Me Over My Marriage novel Chapter 30

Chloe's fury escalated with every word.

"You've spent all these years asking him for absolutely nothing, just pouring your heart into making things work. And now that Aria is back and you finally want out, he suddenly decides to play the possessive husband?"

Sickening.

It was absolutely repulsive.

Even through the phone, Lyra could feel the sheer heat of her friend's anger.

And frankly, Lyra felt the exact same way.

"Getting mad won't change anything. The only thing that matters right now is figuring out how to get the heirloom out of his hands."

It was the only piece of her grandmother she had left.

As long as she got it back, she didn't care what else happened.

Hearing the exhaustion in Lyra's voice, Chloe forced herself to calm down, letting out a long, heavy sigh.

"You're right, venting won't help. We just need to get it back. But Lyra... are you seriously not going to consider reaching out to your family?"

The Lennox Family was a highly respected, powerful dynasty in Metropolis.

Back then, Lyra's parents had been vehemently opposed to her marrying Maxwell, which ultimately led to her being cut out of the family entirely.

They hadn't spoken a single word to each other in years.

Though behind the scenes, Lyra had secretly driven past the estate a few times and quietly sent over premium health supplements.

She just never knew if they actually used them.

Perhaps sensing the heavy guilt weighing on Lyra, Chloe softened her tone. "Don't worry. If your parents knew what kind of hell you're living in right now, they wouldn't hold on to the past. You guys are real family. What hurdle can't blood get over?"

Chloe let out a sudden, self-deprecating laugh.

"Unlike me. With a father like mine, I never even had the luxury of choosing my own path."
