SWNOVELS Chapter 34
Chapter 34
Shirley was furious. How could someone be so annoying? How could Joshua treat Cynthia he this!
“By the way, are you going to make him leave with nothing after the divorce? Leaving you for another woman is also a form of infidelity” shirley, a young woman in her prime, had always been intolerant of such things.
“Shirley is right,” Mr. Yates agreed
“No, we split our assets,” Cynthia replied, observing their emotions
“How are you splitting them?” Mr. Yates and Shirley both asked, seeming particularly curious about this issue.
Cynthia explained that they had agreed on the same terms they had discussed: one of his expensive supercars, a villa in the suburbs, and 40% of his post–marriage income for her.
She had thought they would praise her for doing well, but…
“Are you still in love with him?” Shirley frowned with concern. “He sent you away with so little money?”
“The Neal Group’s annual net profit is worth tens of billions of dollars, so giving you so little might not be enough,” Mr. Yates added.
Cynthia rubbed her temples, not knowing how to respond to them. Tens of billions might be a small amount for the Yates Group, but it was a lot compared to her annual net income.
“He took most of the money and invested it, and I said that investment money shouldn’t be split. Besides, I didn’t give him any of mine,” Cynthia explained.
Shirley was dumbfounded by the answer, and she reached out to feel Cynthia’s forehead.
Cynthia was completely dazed.
“Cynthia, you need to understand that he cheated on you! He’s the one in the wrong! You’re right not to give him anything. Knowing him, if you gave him money, he’d use it to support his lover.” Shirley grew increasingly angry, and her head started to ache.
“No way! I can’t let you take this loss,” Shirley exclaimed.
“I’m calling Mitchell. He needs to give Joshua a good beating!”
Cynthia stopped her just in time.
“What’s wrong?” Shirley asked, confused.
“This is enough. The divorce papers have been filed. If I want to make his life difficult, I have plenty of ways to do so. There’s no need to argue about this anymore,” Cynthia calmly replied.
Cynthia paused for a moment before adding, “Besides, if we really split the assets evenly, and news of our marriage gets out, the media might spin it as the Yates Group being so desperate for funds that they have to resort to fraudulent marriages to stay afloat.”
Upon hearing this, Shirley and Mr. Yates were both stunned.
Only a few of their friends knew that Joshua was divorcing Cynthia for Jayleen.
If the media reported on it, she could not say that Joshua cheated on her.
After all, Joshua did not sleep with Jayleen, and they never spent the night together. Furthermore, Cynthia could not even find evidence of his cheating.
Even if pictures of Joshua taking care of Jayleen were found, he could just say that they were friends. As long as there was no concrete evidence, public opinion would side with them.
However, the current amount of assets was a different story.
Billions might be an astronomical sum for other companies, but it was just a drop in the bucket for the Yates Group.
“I’m sorry, Cynthia… I didn’t think it through.” Shirley realized she had been impulsive.
“There’s no need to apologize. I know you care about me.” Cynthia smiled and squeezed her hand.
“I’ve let go of Joshua, but what about you…”
