My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 99 Divorce Compensation

"No, I'm not going." Kate shook her head furiously and stepped back.

The two police officers said with solemn faces, "If you don't come with us, you will be put under arrest, and your crime will be aggravated."

Frightened, Kate hurriedly brought the phone in her hand to her ear. "Lyra, the police are here to arrest me. You have to save me. Please save me..."

However, there was no response on the phone.

Kate looked at the screen but found that the call had already hung up.

At that moment, she became hopeless and slumped to the ground dully.

The two officers exchanged looks before pulling her up and taking her away.

"Hello, Ms. Raines." In the patrol car, the officer who flashed his ID earlier contacted Sydney. "Ms. Morgan has been caught."

"Alright, thank you." Sydney smiled and thanked them.

After that, the call ended.

Luke brought a cup of coffee to her. "Who was that?"

"The police." Sydney picked up the coffee and took a sip.

Luke immediately understood. "It's about Kate Morgan's arrest, right?" NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Sydney nodded. "Yes, it is."

Luke laughed gleefully. "I knew it. Chairman Morgan is bent on marrying Kate into a rich family, but with this incident, his dream will go up in flames. It'll also affect Morgan Enterprise. I'm afraid Chairman Morgan will hate his daughter from now on."

"You're right." Sydney smiled.

At that moment, there was a knock on the office door, and Sophie poked her head in. "President Raines, a lawyer named Mr. Collins wants to meet you."

"A lawyer?" Sydney raised her brows and looked at Luke. "Did you call for him?"

Luke shook his head. "Why would I call for a lawyer?"

Sophie replied, "Mr. Collins claims to be from Flint Corporation's legal department."

"Flint Corporation?" Luke narrowed his eyes. "Darling, he's one of Julien's men. Does he also want to sue you because he feels offended by what you said in the press conference?"

Sydney pursed her lips. "We'll find out soon enough.

Invite him in."

"Yes." Sophie nodded.

A minute later, Mr. Collins came in and nodded to Sydney and Luke. "President Raines, President Chase."

"Have a seat, Mr. Collins." Sydney gestured for him to sit down.

Mr. Collins said his thanks and pulled the chair across her to sit down.

Meanwhile, Luke poured him a cup of tea.

Mr. Collins said his thanks again before stating his purpose. "As you already know, I was sent here by President Flint."

"Does he want to sue me?" Sydney leaned back and stared at him.

Mr. Collins smiled and shook his head. "No. I m here to redistribute the divorce property with you on President Flint's orders."

"Divorce property?" Luke exclaimed.

Sydney, too, was stunned.

Mr. Collins took out a document from the briefcase he brought with him. "President Raines, this is the distribution of property President Flint had drawn up, among which are five villas, two apartments, five cars, and 30 million dollars in alimony. Please take a look."

He handed the document to her with both hands.

However, Sydney did not take it.

Mr. Collins did not find it humiliating. Instead, he placed it on the table and pushed it towards her, but Luke picked the papers up.

He flipped through the documents and sneered." Julien Flint distributed these measly things? Shouldn't property be divided 50/50 after divorce? Shouldn't half the shares of Flint Corporation be given to my darling as well?"

At that, Mr. Collins broke out in cold sweat. "President Chase, you really do know how to joke around. When Ms. Raines and Mr. Flint got married, they both signed a notarization of property. Thus, it's only natural that Ms. Raines doesn't get any shares."

It was already very generous of Julien to give Sydney those assets on top of signing the property notarization.

Luke was not ignorant of that fact, so he pursed his lips and said nothing more.

Sydney took the documents and looked at Mr. Collins.' I want to know why President Flint is suddenly giving me all this."

She had said she did not want anything when they divorced.

It has been almost a month since the divorce. Why was he suddenly giving her so much divorce alimony? What exactly was his purpose?

Mr. Collins knew that Sydney would ask that question. Hence, he pushed up his glasses and said, "President Flint was so indifferent to you during the marriage because he thought that you asked to marry him despite knowing his relationship with Ms. Lyra

Madden. However, after today's press conference, President Flint realized that he has misunderstood you and thus would like to make it up to you."

"Heh, those are pretty words." Luke rolled his eyes. " Make it up to her? He has already hurt her, and her heart is riddled with holes. Can making it up to her heal my darling's heart? In my perspective, this isn't compensation. He's just trying to save his reputation."

"What do you mean by that, President Chase?" Mr. Collins looked at him.

Luke crossed his arms. "My darling talked about her several years of experiences with the Flint family, and now everyone on the Internet knows that Julien Flint is a scumbag. The reason he told you to come here is to restore his reputation."

"Uh..." The corners of Mr. Collins' mouth twitched. " President Chase, that wasn't President Flint's intention."

"No matter his intention, take it back, Mr. Collins. I don't want them. I told him during the divorce that I won't take a single penny from him because I don't want anything of his. I stand by my word even now." Sydney pushed the documents back to Mr. Collins.

Having been put on the spot, Mr. Collins said, "Ms. Raines, please reconsider. President Flint really just wants to compensate you."

"No, I don't need his compensation." Sydney was unmoved.

As such, Mr. Collins had no choice but to bid them farewell.

Once he left, Luke sat in Mr. Collin's seat. "Darling, you really won't regret turning it down, will you?"

"What's there to regret?" Sydney responded calmly as she picked up a book of information and read it.

Luke shrugged and was just about to say something when his phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was from his assistant.

"Darling, I have work to do in my company, so I'll head off now. Call me if anything happens." He made a calling gesture with his hand.

Sydney nodded. "Okay. Be careful on the road."

Luke hummed in acknowledgment and left.

After that, Sydney lowered her head and continued reading the information.

In the evening, the driver drove her back to Shallow Bay.

Her doorbell rang just as she was eating dinner.

Sydney went to the door with her crutches.

When she opened the door, she saw Julien standing outside.

Sydney was stunned to see him. However, she then pursed her lips and prepared to close the door.

Julien suddenly reached out to hold the door open. "I have something to say to you." "I don't think we have anything to say to each other. Please leave, President Flint. I don't want to be caught up in yet another ploy if someone takes a picture of you going in and out of my apartment," Sydney mocked.

Julien frowned. "That won't happen. No one knows that I'm here."

"Oh? So you think that's something to be proud of?" Sydney's lips curled up into a smirk, and her eyes when she looked at him were ice-cold.

Julien's heart was crushed.

She really did not love him anymore.

Otherwise, how could she look at him with such cold eyes? It was the same way he used to look at her.

"Why don't you want those things?" Julien asked in a low voice, his thin lips moving.

Sydney understood what he was referring to and retorted, "Why would I want them?"

"Those things are my compensation to you. I was the one who has wronged you all these years." Julien looked at her. The apology in his eyes was visible.

Sydney laughed sarcastically. "Didn't Mr. Collins tell you? I don't need your compensation. Since I want to cut off all ties with you, I naturally don't want anything from you. As for you having wronged me, I brought that upon myself, so you don't have to

apologize for that. If that's all, you can leave now,

President Flint."
