Chapter 83 See you at the Court
“Listen carefully, Owen Vates. The would is at your fingertips as long as you remain my husband. I won’t bat an eye, even if you want to buy a yacht or a private jet.
“Money is nothing inme 20 million dollars? How about I offer yon 100 million dollars in exchange for you dropping the topic of divorce?”
Inaly collapsed from the sheer anger. “Do you think you can do anything just because you’re rich? I don’t care for 100 million dollars—”
Esuddenly race when I said the number aloud 100 million dollars? I hesitated.
Dearted resenting myself for being poor Why couldn’t be a filthy tich as Yvette Jenning
“So, how do you plan to hamster the money? Is it gonna be hump – som or annually?
A victorious smile appeared in her Tips when she noticed my sudden change in anitude.
“Tin paying you too million dollars per year. It’s up to you how you want it gold?
Neers had I thought I could make this much money in my life. Even if I worked my head off for a year, all I could earn was a million dollars.
Suddenly, I became much more agreeable. Still, I shot her a doubtful look. “Now that you are back in the country, I’m me you noticed you were in love with Randall What’s wrong with you? Why did you refuse to dive me and instead entice me with 100 million dollars? Are there any hidden conditions?”
Was Randall so badly injured that had to take care of him! But that had nothing to do with the divoco.
“Yes. There’s one
condition.” Yvette calmly straightened her clothes before the entered a negotiation with me. “Firstly, you need to move in with me. You need to go back to do what you’ve
she wanted me to be her nanny and cook, it seemed, but I didn’t mind being her servant for 100 million do
Tasked, “What’s the second condition?”
“Second, we need to get along like a married couple. You can’t say no to me.”
What did that mean stunned, took a second look at her, wondering if she was joking with me. Then, 1 questioned, “Are you hoping for a child?”
This all felt improbable. In our past lives, Yvette never wanted anything romancic intimate with me. Yet, she openly asked me for now. What had gotten into her?
She smirked “Wanting sex doesn’t mean I want children Who are you, saint can’t even touch you!”
“But you’ve income. We’re discussing divorceven if you try to salvage the manage with maney, you shouldn’t be thinking of sleeping with me, I won’t stop you from satisfying your sexual need elsewhere, as long as you don’t touch me.”
A scowl mossed her face. “What are you talking about?”
I could be a nanny or do anything she wanted, including taking care of all, if she paid me 100 million dollars
Even natens joked that they would take care of their husbands mistresses if they were paid a million dollars a month. The difference between me and them was out gender. Of course I’d do anything if someone paid me 100 million dollars a month
ee her as
That was how pathetic I was. There were many ways to cut off ties with the Leould do anything she asked me to, as long as we were not romantically involved. In fact, I would see
employer. I could tolerate any shit she pulled if I could make bank. However, I drew the low at sleeping with her.
I had a hunch why Yvette suggested it, aybe she was fourly, or maybe she was frustrated with Randall
In our past lives, she had slept with me many times after she got into a huge row with Randall. I had no reason to believe otherwise. She must have needed to release her frustrations on man before Randall fell in love with her.
The realization jolted me awake from the money trap. My are sharpened as faced her. “I’ll agree to your first condition, but not the second. You’re rich, vente. For a mition dollars, you could hire gigolos or even a celebrity. They’d line up to please your not me
the watched me in silence I stood up with my head held low, towering over her. “Yvette, since we can’t sort this out in private, I’ll see you at the couLL “Linen carefully. I will divorce you in this life, no matter what it takes!”
Her head snapped up, a smirk playing on her lips. “Oh, the court? Are you going to sue me?” she sneered “I thought you respected and liked my grandpa. Yet here you are, ready to drag his beloved ganddaughter into court. Does it really have to end this way?”
Before this, I had carefully thought of a way to divorce Yvette amically out of respect for Alex. A count case would humiliate the jenning family, which was a prestigious name untarnished by scandals. None of the Jenning family members had ever gotten to trouble with massage, and they enjoyed a great reputation as a result. Even Twitte’s father was famously loyal to her
Keeping my calm, I continued, “You forced me into this. If you had kept your promise and talked to me chilly about the divorce, we wouldn’t be here.”
She closed han eyes as her breathing became heater. “Fine. Sue me, I would like to see the excuse you use to divorce me.”
Her eyes snappedopen, old and sharp. “And I’d love to see which lawyer dares to take your case!
“We’ll see,” I said coolly, turning tale.
“Wait,” she snapped “Give me back the bank card”
1 froze. Hen voice tanned mocking “I gave you that card to your expenses, not to spend on another w
an or to fund a divorce case against me.”
She had probably received the transaction notifications for her card. When I’d arrived back in the county, I’d used her card to buy something to myself as well as a gift for Lila.
No wonder te hadn’t called me once. She had to have been furious. Maybe that was why she had suddenly changed her mind about the divorce.
How typical Women always wanted what they couldn’t have.
Laughing bitterly, I pulled my wallat out from my pocket anderleyed the card before tossing it at her. “Here! Take it back, you stingy, infuriating woman! You pretend to be generous, but you’re just a hypocrite
