“Are you blaming me? I gave you money, a lot of money, didn’t 13 Isn’t that enough to make up for your regrets?”
“You know not finishing college is something I’ll always regret, and yet you throw it in my face every chance you get. What is wrong with you?”
“Alright, Fine! If that’s what this is about, I’m sorry, okay? I won’t bring it up again. I’ll stay away from those women too. And forget about the divorce, let’s move on. Anyway, I’m hungry, I want your pancakes. Come on, babe, make me some
He had finally relented, barely
Considering he’s been playing king of the world for years
I let out a dry, sarcastic chuckle. “Let me remind you, 9 am tomorrow at the courthouse. Don’t be lace.“]
He grabbed the ashtray from the coffee table and hurled it, it hit the flour and shattereil |
He was short–tempered, sure, but he had never laid a hand on me. Not once
Still, he practically roared, “Isabella Willow I’ve been faithful to you all these years! and all I did was a bit of harmless flirting, why can’t you let it go! This is insane
Chapter 6
That night, he went to find Hannah.
And there were new updates in the group chat popping up
Hannah had actually posted pictures of the two of them, lying on the same bed.
The group chat blew up again.
And then George, even using Hannah’s phone to send me a voice message.[]
[Now this is what a real scumbag looks like, huh? You had a good man once, and you don’t appreciate him. I can’t wait to see what kind of man you end up with after me!]
I didn’t say anything, but I didn’t leave the group either
No one in the group dared to say a word.
The next morning. George and I went to the courthouse!
And Hannah was the one accompanied him.]
She
even dressed up for this occasion. Black stockings, a tight black dress, red heels.
The classic club look
Not surprising, really. Some people’s jobs are pretty obvious just by looking at them
“George, not being picky anymore, huh?“[]
“Better late than never. Since you’re both here, go ahead and get her that marriage certificate. Give her an official title!”
Her eyes immediately lit up, and then she looked at him, hopeful
But he just ignored her, walked straight to the car alone.
She quickly added. “George and I just started. It’s way too soon to talk marriage. But it’s only a matter of time.”
“All you ever did was some basic housework, nothing hard. I can do that too. It’s just a matter of time before I marry into his family.“]
1 let out a light chuckle. “You’re overestimating yourself. Come brag to me again after you’ve actually married into the Wayne family.”
O
Chapter 7
George split a billion dollars between us, all our properties across different cities were cashed out and given to me.]
I didn’t get any shares in the company, as his mom made that condition when I marry into his family.
She gave me the reason said to protect the company’s operations in case we ever divorced.]
George and I both thought that would never happen
Trying to win her approval, we signed a prenup
But when I went home to pack my belongings. I overheard his mom yelling at him, “You gave her a billion? Are you out of your mind? Just throwing money around now? She hasn’t even had a child for you all these years, why does she deserve a billion?”
“She was the one who wanted to divorce. You could have refused it unless she left with nothing, why did you just let her take so much money!”
He said. “Mom, maybe she didn’t do anything big, but she was there. All these years, she stood by me. She never even asked for company shares. Honestly, I don’t think a billion is too much.“]]
“What did she ever do? She was basically just a maid, and now you’re telling me the maid work is worth over a million a year? Besides, you’ve never mistreated her, you gave her money every month, yet she’s still not satisfied? And even have the nerve to divorce you? Was she dreaming or something?”
Then she turned and saw me, went quiet for a second.
But she soon realized 1 was now already divorced from her son, and also had taken a billion
“Hmph! Isabella Willow, you’re really hit the jackpot. Just by getting married, you got everything. And now after the divorce, you’ve become a single rich woman. I just don’t get it, where did you still find someone like my son? And you actually went to divorce with him!”
“You, just a high school graduate, clung to my son like a leech, and because of him, your whole family practically shot up into the sky. Now that you’ve used him up, you just toss him aside? Now I see it clearly as day, women with no education are just more calculating. Don’t worry, son. Mom will help you find someone better, This time, we’re going for a girl with a Ph.D.“]]
“Let a smart girl give you a smart baby. Honestly, maybe it’s a blessing she never gave birth, otherwise the child would have suffered.“]
George frowned and rebuked, “Mom, stop
“What did I say wrong? Seven years! What kind of woman can’t bear a child in seven years! And now she’s got the nerve to divorce you and walk away with that much money? If a woman who can’t even have a baby, it means there’s something wrong with her, you know that?”
Hannah had been in the kitchen pretending to stay busy, didn’t dare come out at first.)]
After all, George’s mom had just said they needed an educated woman to give George a child. But hearing those words, she saw me as a cautionary tale and took her chance. She stepped out with a dish
“Madam!” She shyly took a folded report from her pocket. “I know this isn’t the best time, but…I wanted to tell you, I’m pregnant.“[]
George’s mom had originally thought she was just a maid George had brought in. It took her a while to process and ask, “Whose is it?“]]
“Mr. Wayne’s, of course!“]
