Knock, knock, knock.
George sat on the sofa smoking when he heard a knock on the door.He thought he was hallucinating.
So he Kept smoking.And ignored it.
"Knock, knock..."
There was another knock on the door.
George frowned.
"Who is it?"
He opened the door unwillingly, but was stunned when he saw the person standing outside.
Elizabeth stood at the door and saw him, tears streaming down her face.
"Mr.Hadley..." She hugged him.
George was stunned.
"You...You're back?"
"Mmm! I'm back!"
Ten minutes later...
George's eyes widened.
"Ten million!"
Elizabeth immediately covered his mouth.
"Keep your voice down!"
As she spoke, she looked at the closed second bedroom door, afraid that Olivia and Brayden would
hear them.
The two of them went back to their bedroom.
She told George what Everett had told her.
George was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out.
"Really? Ten million?"
Because his mouth was covered by Elizabeth, his words were muffled.Elizabeth glared at him.
"Do I look like I was joking?"
"But...But why?"
Why would Everett take ten million to divorce Olivia and Brayden? Elizabeth frowned.
"I don't know.I think something was off about this matter.’’ George quickly took her hand off and said,
"Could it be that Everett want to take her back when he found out Olivia was married again?"
Elizabeth's eyes lit up.
"That's really possible!"
George continued immediately, "He's rich, but that's not how it works.’
"Yes! He must have regretted it.You have no idea how horrible he was after he heard that Olivia and
Brayden were married.I thought he was going to strangle me to death.’
"You're afraid, I'm afraid too.This son-in-law came back with a poker face, scarier than Everett."
Elizabeth sneered.
"Brayden can't compete with him.Everett is the scariest.If you had seen him tonight, you would have
been scared out of your wits.’ George didn't believe it.
"All I know is that Brayden is not to be trifled with." Elizabeth glanced at him.
"Look at you." George quickly asked, "What should we do? Did you agree?"
"Do you have to ask?"
Ten million! How could she not agree? And at that time, she had no right to refuse.
George nodded.
"Ten million, five million for debts and still five million left.It's a straight deal!"
Elizabeth slapped him.
"What's five million for debts? Olivia should pay for the debts, and it has nothing to do with us!"
George frowned.
"I know, but if you don't pay back the five million, Brayden won't agree to get divorced.Don't forget that
he still has our household register."
"I don't care.Anyway, the ten million is all mine.No one would be able to steal a dime from me!"
"Then what are you going to do?" Brayden held Olivia.
She didn't sleep and her body was shaking.
She had been trembling faintly.
But she did not speak or move, as stiff as a rock.
Suddenly, Olivia pushed him away and rushed into the bathroom.
"Ouch!"
Brayden froze on the bed, his hands clenched into fists.
Olivia turned on the tap and poured water into her mouth.She spat it out and repeated it over and over
again.
Brayden walked in and looked at the reflection in the mirror.
Her face was pale, her brows furrowed, her lips red and swollen...His heart was torn.
