Chapter 57
The Loraine she knew was a weakling, not a goal-getter.
Keely put on a worried expression.
“Are you being serious, Mr. Benton?
Loraine was so poor that she couldn’t afford to go to school during her childhood. After she got married to Marco, she Lived off him. How is it possible that—”
“Enough!” Marco cut her off with a Long face.
Loraine scoffed, looking at the two people in front of her.
“Go ahead, Keely. Why don’t you finish what you were about to say?
Marco, I remember sending you the bank card with the divorce papers.
The money you gave me was untouched. Why don’t you Let this oblivious woman know that I never spent your money?”
“That’s impossible!” Keely retorted immediately.
“Loraine, how dare you say that you never spent a penny of Marco’s money during your three-year marriage?”
“Stop it, Keely. She’s telling the truth,” Marco uttered firmly.
Staring at Loraine, he said, “You shouldn’t have returned the money,
Loraine. You used to be married to me. It is only right that you spent that money. Anyway, I haven’t taken out the money or changed the password. If you still need it, I can hand over the card back to
you.” Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
This offer was the juiciest of offers. No woman would turn it down.
However, Loraine was disgusted by it.
She didn’t give a damn about Marco’s money. She hadn’t married him for it, so she never depended on him for her upkeep.
Now that she had gotten rid of him and had a flourishing career, why would she accept his money? Did he think that she would jump on the offer? What a joke!
Without hesitation, Loraine refused, “No, thanks. I don’t need your money. I’m no Longer your wife. Besides, it’s only a matter of time before I begin to make more money than you. My career is shooting to the roof in case you don’t know.”
Those proud words struck Keely’s nerves. As far as she was concerned,
Loraine was just someone who liked to brag even though she wasn’t that special.
“Loraine, stop pretending. Working in an architectural company doesn’t pay so well. You can’t make half of Marco’s net worth even if you work hard for the rest of your life. I majored in architecture while in the university, so I know that large structures like an amusement park are very difficult to design. It’s a miracle that you were able to design it since you never went to college. But I have to say that you shouldn’t rely on Luck always. You will be stranded one day.”
“I don’t like arguing with delusional women like you. All I can say is that you will know if I achieved such a great feat by luck once the project is completed.”
