Chapter 804:
“Okay, I agree to the divorce.”
Hank froze for a moment, but then a happy smile spread across his face.
My mother glanced at me, and her tense expression finally softened a little. I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart. Betty had finally made up her mind.
Ryan, however, shouted, “Betty, don’t let that man get away with it!”
Betty raised her chin, her eyes cold.
“But I spent several years with you and gave birth to a daughter for you. I wasted so much time on you, so you must compensate me!”
Hank nodded.
“Betty, I’m truly sorry for everything. Just tell me what you want. As long as it’s within my ability, I will give it to you,” he said sincerely.
Betty sneered.
“Don’t agree so quickly. You might not be willing to give me what I want.”
“Go ahead,” Hank said, looking at Betty.
Betty then said, “I want the house we live in now, along with all the furniture and appliances inside.”
As soon as these words were spoken, my mother and I frowned. That was because Hank’s house was located in the center of City A, in a high-end district. It was spacious and well-appointed, with high-end furniture and appliances. The house was estimated to be worth more than five or six million yuan. Moreover, Hank’s parents had bought the house for him years ago, and he hadn’t paid a penny for it. They had only been married for a few years, so asking for the entire house seemed excessive.
Just as my mother and I thought Hank wouldn’t agree, he nodded and said without hesitation, “Okay, I promise you.”
Hearing Hank’s agreement, both my mother and I were stunned, and even Betty seemed taken aback. She probably didn’t expect Hank to agree so quickly. Her expression grew somewhat sour. She then continued, “I don’t have a job right now, and I’m not in good health either. I want a million yuan for living expenses.”
I frowned upon hearing this. Honestly, Betty was pushing it. Hank had already agreed to give her the house, but now she was asking for such a large sum of money. Hank had been supporting Betty and Anne for years and probably didn’t have any savings left.
“Betty, forget it,” my mother stepped forward, trying to persuade her.
However, Ryan shouted, “One million, not a single cent less!”
My mother rolled her eyes at Ryan and motioned for him to be quiet.
Betty laughed coldly.
“One million in cash, or I won’t divorce you.”
Betty looked up at Hank, waiting for his response.
Hank looked down at Elsamara and asked, “Elsamara, I’m afraid I’ll have financial problems in the future…”
Elsamara interrupted him.
“I’ll pay the debt with you in the future!”
Hearing this, Hank grinned and suddenly regained his confidence. He looked up and said to Betty, “Okay, I promise you. Within three days, I will collect a million yuan in cash!”
Betty clenched her fists and said, “Hank, why do you hate me so much? Even if you lose everything, you still have to divorce me, don’t you?”
