Chapter 861 Let Me Clarify Things First

Azure cracked a smile upon seeing Alex. “What brings you here, Alex?”

Alex now felt disgusted at the sight of Azure.

Failing to suppress his anger, he clutched Azure by her throat.

Azure’s eyes widened in shock, and she managed to say with difficulty, “Alex…what’s… going on?”

Alex forcefully pinned Azure against the entrance wall and tightened his grip constantly. “Azure, what have Paige and I done to offend you so much that you seek revenge on us like this? You have ruined Paige’s life, and we lost our child because of that. Why do you have to be so malicious?”

Alex’s voice drew the attention of the Millers‘ matriarch, Inez Miller.

Anxiety marked her well–maintained face.

Her face turned ghastly pale instantly when she saw Azure. “Price, what are you doing?! Let go of Azzie now!”

Alex glared at Inez. “Let go of her? Has she let me, my wife, or my unborn child off the hook?”

Stunned, Inez asked, “What are you talking about, Price?”

Alex replied, “If I haven’t explained clearly enough, let Azure explain it then!”

He abruptly loosened his grip.

Meanwhile, Azure coughed and collapsed to the floor, holding her throat.

Inez ordered a maid to help Azure, yet Azure gently pushed the maid away with her unoccupied hand.

Azure coughed profusely, looking up with her tear–filled, reddened eyes.

She gazed at the livid Alex in disappointment and fear.

Suppressing the pain in her heart, she said slowly, “It was me…I did it.”

Inez’s eyes widened in shock. “What have you done, Azzie?”

Azure stood up, supporting herself on the wall behind her. Her flushed face gradually turned pale. “I’m sorry, Alex. I’ve been regretting it ever since I did it.”

“If you’ve been regretting, why haven’t you sought out Alex to apologize sooner?” Lucas could not bear it any longer.

“I don’t need her apology! I want her life as compensation to Paige and my unborn child!” Alex snarled.

“Alright…” Azure shut her eyes in despair. “My life is here. Take it if you want, Alex.”

Inez hastily rushed forward to shield Azure. “Price, please let me clarify things first, okay? Do it out of respect for me.”

Alex barked at Inez, “Sure, I’ll give you some time!”

Inez nodded and turned to Azure sternly. “Azzie, let’s talk in the living room!”

Azure opened her eyes slowly and nodded.

The group of people sat in the living room.

Inez said, “What have you done wrong, Azure? Tell me.”

Azure confessed to colluding with Daniella to harm Paige.

Lucas was no less infuriated than Alex. “We’ve misjudged you, Azure. You’re cunning and heartless!”

“Yes. I’ve changed so much because of Alex!” Azure admitted it.

Inez pounded the sofa arm in pain, holding her chest. “Why would you do this? Why? There are so many outstanding men in the world. Why are you so fixated on Alex? Why would you do something that tarnished the family’s reputation for love? What happened to your manners?”
