Chapter 710: Chapter 709
Oliver Horton was slightly startled: “How did you end up like this!”
lissa Knight imdiately retorted: “What do you an ‘end up’? I’m doing quite well, aren’t I?”
After saying that, she looked outside: “Has Jake not arrived yet?”
Though lissa Knight used to fear Oliver Horton, she recently realized after spending so ti living on her own that it wasn’t the divorce she was afraid of, but change.
Jake could earn money to support the family, and now she still stayed at ho every day. With living expenses provided, she didn’t have to worry about food and drink, just had to purchase groceries herself.
The main thing was, after leaving that ho, she suddenly lost all expectations for Oliver Horton.
Every night she faced the empty and spacious master bedroom, extrely lonely… she always wanted Oliver to spend more ti at ho with her instead of going out to et that mistress.
But now, in a cozy sixty-square-ter apartnt, there’s even a place for elderly activities downstairs in the complex. She felt sowhat embarrassed when she first started dancing in the square, but she soon blended in.
Having lived this way for a while, she genuinely felt it was wonderful!
Only after leaving that gilded cage did she discover that life outside was so colorful, and only after leaving high society did she realize how free the life of an ordinary person could be.
Upon hearing lissa’s words, Oliver Horton scoffed, “He’s coming by bus, how could he possibly be here now?”
Right after he spoke, Jake ran over: “Mom, I took the bus and then the subway, the subway is really fast, even faster than driving.”
Oliver Horton: “…”
Looking at the mother and son, Oliver Horton was struggling to save face, then he sneered: “Are you here for the divorce? Did you bring your docunts?”
Upon hearing this, lissa Knight was stunned for a mont: “Oh right.”
She imdiately started checking her bag.
Oliver Horton breathed a sigh of relief, as expected…
He sneered again: “You’re not going to tell you forgot your ID, are you?”
The next mont, lissa took out her ID card from her bag: “Got it, let’s go. Let’s get inside quickly.”
Oliver Horton: “…”
He stared blankly at lissa Knight, his face darkening: “lissa Knight, are you sure you want to divorce ?”
lissa Knight was taken aback: “Isn’t it you who wants to divorce ?”
Oliver Horton was imdiately filled with rage, an inexplicable irritation making him extrely angry: “Fine, let’s divorce! Let’s go!”
He and lissa Knight entered the courthouse together, only to be told: Divorce requires a thirty-day cooling-off period.
Oliver Horton: ?
He unpredictably felt a sense of relief.
After both of them filled out a form given by the staff, Oliver Horton looked at the section about property division and sneered: “Are you sure you really don’t want anything?”
lissa Knight looked at him: “When I married you, my dowry was not much, and all these years I’ve squandered it myself. Considering that, I don’t want anything.”
Oliver Horton sneered: “Weren’t you always scheming for my money? As soon as the company declared dividends, you would imdiately demand your share!”
lissa Knight thought about the past and gave a self-deprecating smile: “Yes, that’s because I knew if you didn’t spend on , you’d spend it on that mistress. I didn’t want you to spend on her, that’s why I was always calculating about your money.”
Oliver Horton was taken aback.
lissa Knight continued: “But now it’s not necessary. After we divorce, you can spend as much money on her as you like, it’s none of my business!”
Oliver Horton felt an oppressive frustration in his heart, especially seeing lissa Knight’s indifferent attitude towards everything, making him even more angry.
But he didn’t know what he was angry about.
He scoffed: “Fine, just don’t regret it!”
After speaking, he walked out the door.
Marisa Walsh and Selena Horton were waiting at the entrance. Seeing Oliver co out, they imdiately approached to ask: “Is it done?”
Oliver Horton spoke: “There’s a one-month cooling-off period.”
Marisa Walsh imdiately frowned: “What’s that? It wouldn’t be so trick lissa is playing to avoid the divorce, would it?”
Selena Horton promptly poked her: “Mom, it’s the new regulation.”
Marisa Walsh then closed her mouth and looked towards lissa Knight, directly asking Oliver Horton: “Oliver, how much compensation are we giving lissa?”
Oliver Horton was very frustrated inside: “No need to give any.”
“Nothing?” Marisa Walsh looked surprised: “How will lissa manage her life after this?”
Upon hearing this, lissa Knight walked over: “You don’t need to worry, my son can earn money and support !”
Marisa Walsh sighed: “lissa, why must you do this? Just for pride? Aren’t you making Oliver feel guilty?”
lissa Knight sneered: “Then give half the shares, would you be willing to let him do that?”
At that, Marisa Walsh’s face imdiately stiffened.
Oliver Horton scoffed: “You still have your eye on my assets after all!”
lissa Knight looked at this man whom she loved all her life.
Now she was fifty. How many years left did she have in her life?
She scoffed: “Oliver Horton, look carefully, the real person scheming for your money has always been her!”
