Chapter 291: Chapter 290 Chapter 291: Chapter 290 Ellis Olsen frowned as he walked with his assistant to the living room door, where he saw a girl with her back to him, holding two divorce agreents, her hands trembling.
He instantly furrowed his brow further but halted his steps, not entering the room right away.
The girl’s voice was low and tearful, head bowed as she said in a muffled tone, “Howard, I don’t want a divorce…”
Howard impatiently rebuked her, “Keera, look at yourself now, staying ho all day. I’ve been managing the company all these years. What about you? You just had a child, living in confusion every day, living off the company’s money in luxury for so many years. What have you contributed to the company? Now that there’s just a bit of debt, you don’t want to take responsibility?”
The girl’s voice trembled, “When we graduated, it was you who said I didn’t need to work! You said all I had to do was be your wife…”
In this period, Keira Olsen had been reading through Keera’s diaries.
The diaries recorded the happy tis Keera had spent with Howard.
Howard in university had once been tender and sweet to Keera, and even before they got married after university, Howard had been the perfect dutiful boyfriend.
Thinking of the contents of Keera’s diaries, her head lowered, “You said going to work was too exhausting, that you would manage the company for , that in the future, you would earn money to support the family, and all I had to do was to be beautiful.”
“You said that your relationship with Cindy Lloyd was just for show, a façade, and that I was actually the one you loved the most…”
“You also said, whether the child I gave birth to was a boy or a girl, you would love them…”
“…”
These words, she was speaking for Keera.
“Enough!”
Howard clearly didn’t want to listen anymore; after having done so many things, he just wouldn’t let others speak out and retorted with a cold laugh, “Keera, what’s the point in saying so much? Sure, I’ve kept lovers outside, but are you so clean yourself? Didn’t you sleep with Mr. Horton too?!”
Keira Olsen abruptly looked up, disbelief in her eyes.
Didn’t Howard know the circumstances of that night with Lewis Horton? How could he shalessly say such a thing?
Howard’s mother imdiately chid in, “Right, Keera, you haven’t been faithful yourself, what right do you have to criticize Howard? Just sign the papers, or don’t bla us for not being nice!”
Ellis Olsen, upon hearing this, felt a surge of anger.
Just as he was about to enter the room to support Keera, he heard the girl’s trembling voice, “Fine, I’ll sign!”
Ellis’s footsteps halted imdiately.
…Actually, if Keera just got divorced like this, it wouldn’t be too bad.
After all, it was just a divorce agreent; with the Olsen family’s influence, if Keera regretted it later and didn’t want to divorce, the agreent could be destroyed entirely.
He thought for a mont, then simply stood where he was, unmoving.
Inside the room.
Keira, seemingly coerced, placed the divorce agreent on the table and quickly signed her na with a pen.
Cindy Lloyd was satisfied.
Howard also breathed a sigh of relief.
Even Howard’s mother directly said, “Now that you’ve signed, my son, go get the divorce certificate with her tomorrow!”
Howard nodded, then reluctantly looked around at the villa, wanting to say sothing, but Keira Olsen spoke up first, “Howard, I’ve agreed to all the conditions on the divorce agreent. Can you agree to one condition for ?”
Howard imdiately asked with suspicion, “What?”
Keira Olsen weakly said, “How much child support will you give Amy each month?”
At that, Howard imdiately flew off the handle, “What nonsense are you talking about? The company is in debt, I’ve resigned, I have no job now, where would I get the money to give that money-losing child any child support?”
Howard’s mother joined in, “Keera, don’t go too far! How much money has Howard given you over the years? How much has he earned for this family? You still want his money after divorce? You’re thinking too beautifully! Howard’s future money will have nothing to do with your daughter; it’s ant for my grandson!”
Cindy Lloyd laughed as well, “Aunt, it seems Keera probably hasn’t worked in years and doesn’t want to go out and work anymore, right? After all, it’s so tiring working outside; if she had child support for Amy, she could just find a place to lie around and let Howard keep supporting her…”
“She’s dreaming!” erupted Howard’s mother in anger.
With a crying tone in her voice, Keira Olsen said, “Howard, you are Amy’s father, you have an obligation to support her… Besides, I’ve taken on so much debt, I definitely won’t have the money to support Amy in the future. If you don’t provide child support, how is the child supposed to survive?”
Her words made Howard angrily retort, “I don’t care how you survive! If you can’t make it, just take her and beg under the overpass!”
Howard’s mother sneered, “Exactly, Keera, you have hands and feet, why can’t you live?”
Cindy Lloyd added, “Mother, Keera probably hasn’t worked for several years and doesn’t want to go out and work, right? It’s so tiring out there; if she gets child support for Amy, she could just stay sowhere with Amy, lying down, and continue to live off Howard…”
“She’s dreaming!” Howard’s mother denounced sharply.
Keira Olsen said with a tearful voice, “Howard, you are Amy’s father. If Amy can’t afford to go to school, relevant departnts will make you take responsibility! I’m not making unreasonable demands, Howard, you can’t be so cruel to Amy… As long as you are her father, you are responsible for her!”
Ellis Olsen, listening from outside, was infuriated.
What was Keera up to?!
She was already divorced; why did she still care about his little bit of child support? Couldn’t she be more independent?
He took several deep breaths to suppress the fire in his heart.
He even felt that a person as defeated as Keera wasn’t worth him stepping in to back her up.
How could there be such a cowardly person?!
Inside the room.
After Keira Olsen spoke these words, she saw Howard’s mother jumping in anger, “They’re divorced; how could Howard possibly still be her father? Besides, with your sloppy behavior, it’s not even certain whose child Amy is! Howard, figure out a way to sever ties with them, so you don’t end up being bled dry by a vampire after the divorce!”
At that, Cindy Lloyd imdiately suggested, “Why don’t we sign a break kinship agreent?”
Upon hearing this, Keira Olsen’s eyes narrowed.
She had achieved her goal and hadn’t acted out this play for nothing!
That’s right, she wanted to completely sever the ties between Amy and Howard’s family, so in the future, Howard would have no reason to find her again!
Thinking this in her heart, she imdiately shook her head and waved her hands, “No, no…”
Seeing her act like this, Howard decisively produced a piece of paper, “You say no, and it’s no? I’m severing this kinship today!”
