Chapter Divorcing 356
Chapter 356 Ask for It
The virus just now was difficult to get in from the outside.
Unless someone with authority cleared the way, it could only come in smoothly.
James frowned gently. "Got it."
His words made Chloe think he was pretentious.
"Why did you fire everyone in the security department just now?"
"What's the point of keeping them? They wouldn't have gotten it done in a day without you just now."
He'd just watched Chloe's entire operation, and she didn't cooperate with her colleagues at all.
Bright Moon International was such a big company that it didn't keep useless people.
"Keep them." Chloe thought for a moment, then added, "It's hard to grow on your own."
There was some difference between twenty people and one.
Chloe thought, "If they hadn't lined up some of the wrong options before I got here, it would have taken me an extra minute."
James nodded slightly. He didn't say no, nor did he say yes.
"Regarding the proposal you just made to me, what do you want?"
Chloe asked again. James didn't respond this time.
"What?"
"You said you could help me get a divorce. What do you want me to give you?"
Business was all about give and take, not charity.
"Get me back to Mythica."
Chloe wasn't surprised in the least, but she was still puzzled. "Do you want to go back so badly? Wouldn't it be nice for you to stay safe at home? You can still be a rich man." James rarely put away his hangdog look.
He became serious and earnest.
"My father was a soldier, and so am I. Soldiers swear under the flag to defend the country to the death. If I can't do that, why did I become a soldier?"
Chloe always thought James was just a man who liked to show off.
She hadn't expected to see such a side of him.
He was being true to his beliefs at this point, and it made her feel admiration.
"I'll think about this and reply to you afterward."
Chloe turned around. She couldn't decide for now.
Once she agreed, it meant her reputation was ruined.
She didn't care, but she was afraid that Wendy would be implicated and suffer unwarranted criticism.
And she was pregnant. The baby was innocent. She didn't want her kid to be cursed when he or she was born.
She wouldn't take that step until she had to.
"The chairman of the Opal Group wants to see you, saying he liked the last commercial you shot."
Chloe was a bit surprised and thought, "Can a commercial really surprise the chairman?"
"In two days, the Opal Group will hold a press conference. You'll come over with me to meet him."
Chloe thought, "It's the Opal Group's press conference again!
The whole city's high rollers will be there that day, right?"
"I..."
"I know you're off for the weekend. You're attending as a member of the Shawn family. I won't give you a hard time. Just give me twenty minutes." James didn't look up and waved Chloe to leave when he was finished.
With the company's crisis resolved, she didn't have to stay in the company all the time to waste her time.
The next day, Chloe got up early. She sat in the living room with her cell phone and kept tapping on the balance page of her bank card in a daze. Michael came downstairs to see her with this look of anticipation.
"It's so early, and the bank is not open yet."
The transfer amount was too large to be processed on the mobile phone, so they had to go to the counter.
Chloe glared at him and didn't say anything.
"Come over for breakfast."
Chloe sat across from him, and he said, "The nutritionist I hired will be coming by today. You can change if you don't like."
Well, Chloe wasn't picky about the nutritionist.
"Grandpa heard you went to the hospital two days ago and pressed me for the test results."
Chloe said, "Just tell him the truth. The gastroenteritis is nothing to hide."
Michael nodded.
Chloe had been waiting for the transfer.
But she waited until the afternoon and even returned from Bright Moon International without seeing a transfer on her bank card.
She narrowed her eyes and chatted with Emma.
"Emma, what would you do if someone didn't pay their debts?"
Emma was clearing the table. At that, she straightened up and said, "Mrs. Shawn, does anyone owe you any money?"
"Yes. A lot."
Emma thought about it. "If the person never pays it back, why don't you find his or her family? Maybe the whole family can pool their money together and pay it back." Chloe suddenly thought Emma got it right, thinking, "If they don't pay me back, I'll ask for it!"
