"Fine. Let's do it! But you must give me the money. I won't ask for much. I just want one billion dollars!"
said Bella furiously.
"One billion? Are you fucking kidding me?" William found it unbelievable, "What made you think we
must give you one billion dollars? Let me be clear. You won't get a penny from the Lawson family if you
divorce me."
"Alright. Alright. Enough! Let's just forget the divorce thing. You've been married for twenty years, and
you're good. Why must you get a divorce now?" Sophia said helplessly.
"No! I must get a divorce! I can't stand her any more!"
"Calm down, Uncle William!" Sophia shouted out helplessly again.
William looked at her, "I've made up my mind, Sophia. What's more, you'll have to give her one billion
dollars if I really divorce her. Why should we?"
"You can't put it that way, Uncle William. You're mad. You just said it out of anger. You don't really want
a divorce!"
"I know what I'm doing. I've decided to divorce this woman!" William had spoken his mind out. He
wouldn't have screwed it up if he had talked nicely.
Bella got it and yelled at him, "Fine! Let's get the damn divorce! Give me one billion dollars, or it will be
off table!"
"In your dreams! You won't get a penny!"
Sophia watched the situation and guessed they might have another fight if they went back home
together, then she turned to Bella, "Bella, how about staying in the Riley manor for a couple of days?
Both of you need to clam down and figure it out."
"Thanks for your kindness, Sophia. But you've seen how pushy he is! I don't know what I've done
wrong. Actually, I can leave the Lawson family if he insists divorcing me. But I must seek justice for
myself!" Bella looked at her and said.
"OK. I see."
Sophia convinced her to go to the Riley Manor. Bella talked to Emma as soon as she arrived in the
Riley Manor. She had been wronged in the Lawson family for years and finally got it off her chest.
Sophia called Laura in secret, and told her everything.
"Got it. Sophia, help them out. Your father and we'll take care of your Grandma." said Laura.
"OK, Mom!" Sophia hung up the phone.
Bella was crying her heart out, looking like she had been treated unfairly in the Lawson family. Sophia
would just let her have a good cry if she felt really bad.
Very soon, she got Drake's text message, saying, "William is determined to get a divorce!"
Sophia didn't expect things would go so bad, and texted back immediately, "Did he tell why?"
"He said he had enough of Bella. No particular reason. He just doesn't want to spend the rest of his life
with her." Drake texted back very soon.
Sophia didn't know what to do. If Grandma knew Bella and William divorced at this time, would it give
her a heavy blow and ruin her health?
"Tell him it's impossible to get a divorce now. Tell him to think about Grandma." Texted Sophia.
"Got it." texted Drake.
Bella saw her in long silence and looked up at her, "Sophia, what did your Uncle William say?"
Sophia put her phone away quickly and put on a smile, "Nothing much. Stay here for a few days. Take
it lightly. It'll be fine when Uncle William chills out and figures it out!"
"But I have a gut feeling that he meant it this time. Sophia, what if he really abandons me?" Bella
choked with sobs.
"Oh! Don't be silly. He's just too mad. He'll get back to you when he clears his mind."
Bella bit back the words and nodded.
Cathy's parents were divorcing, but she didn't give a damn on it. Sophia's informers reported that Cathy
had bought a house at the price of one hundred million dollars and applied for a bunch of credit cards
since she left from the hospital. The informers also said that Cathy hit the night clubs a lot, and had no
intention of investing.
Even Sophia's four brothers had heard about those things and mentioned her in the group chat,
"Sophia, you shouldn't have been so softhearted. You should have said no when Cathy asked you for
money. Look! She's a big spender!"
"Second that. You've given her half a billion. Gee! The money will be down the drain!"
"Sophia, you know what, Cathy doesn't deserve a penny!"
Sophia texted and explained, "My dear brothers, I understand you're feeling sorry for me. Anyway,
Cathy is one of the Lawsons. We know she's unhappy. That's why I gave her the money. "
"Now that we've given her the money, she could be disposal of it at will. We won't interfere."
Sophia didn't see anything wrong with Cathy's way of spending money and thought it was good that
she wasn't cheated out of her money.
But Sophia had been over optimistic on Cathy. In fact, Cathy had been very close to a very popular
male star lately. It was said that she had invested big money in his cast and crew.
But Sophia didn't care much about it. Cathy had the money and she could spend it at will. But she
happened to meet Cathy and the male star when she dined out with her clients that day.
At first, Sophia thought she could pretend she didn't see it, but she knew what the male star was when
she saw him sucking up to Cathy. Sophia followed up with Cathy on her way to the restroom.
"Cathy! Do you know what you are doing?" Sophia tried to remind her for the sake of Grandma.
Cathy looked back at her and said sarcastically, "Oh, look who it is! It's my super good cousin, the
honored Mrs. Riley and the boss of several public companies! What do you mean by saying that? Are All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
you gonna lecture me?"
Cathy seemed to be drunk and looked really loathing.
"Do you know your mother is staying in Riley Manor recently?"
"It's none of my business! Why did you tell me? You don't want her to stay in your place, do you? If yes,
just kick her out!"
"You're talking nonsense, Cathy!" said Sophia furiously.
"So what? Bite me!"
"You!"
Sophia couldn't stand her bad attitude.
