WantNovelChapter 626
"I can't leave yet, Melvin," Sarah insisted. "Lethandle this one more time." She wasn't even sure about
Zachary's involvement, but seeing him in West Ridge had sent her emotions spiraling.
Melvin sighed, well aware of his cousin's stubbornness. "Just keep yourself safe."
"I will," Sarah promised before hanging up.
By six that evening, as Sarah was leaving work, the Wesler household had erupted into chaos.
"Givethe money, you useless woman! Didn't you learn anything from last time? Hand it over!" Charlie
shouted.
Mrs. Wesler collapsed onto the ground, sobbing. "You've gambled away
everything! There's nothing left! Search the house yourself if you don't believe me.
Killif you want - it would be a mercy at this point!"
Her voice trembled with tears, but she spoke the truth. Early in their marriage, they'd had enough, but Charlie's
gambling addiction had drained them completely. She'd even borrowed from her parents, who now refused to

Charlie's face contorted with rage. "How dare you! I've given you my salary every month for years - thousands of
dollars! Now you say there's nothing left? What have you done with it all?"
He stormed over and slapped her twice. "I'm warning you - if you don't givethe money right now, I'll kill
you!"
In the yard, Charlie continued hitting his wife while his parents sat nearby, watching with disturbing indifference.
"Stop! Please stop! There's no money! Help me!" Mrs. Wesler screamed, looking desperately toward her in-laws.
The blows kept coming. She'd placed her hopes on the elder Weslers, but they didn't even acknowledge her
cries, instead discussing other matters as if nothing unusual was happening.
"That storm caused a lot of damage around the town," Mrs. Wesler's mother-in- law remarked casually. "Many
houses collapsed. | heard the mayor is applying for disaster relief."
Mr. Wesler tapped his cigarette ash,
replying with equal detachment.

"Mom! Dad! Help me! He's going to kill me!" Mrs. Wesler pleaded, but neither responded.
Eventually, she stopped crying out altogether, submitting to the beating as if she no longer cared what
happened to her.

"Charlie, that's enough!" Sarah's voice cut through the air like a blade.
