All Too Late
Chapter 28
However, Samuel was not overly delighted upon hearing that.
He never expected that Diana would agree to him divorcing Kathleen.
“But there are conditions to this.” Diana was strategizing. “After you divorce Kathleen, you have to give her half of your company’s shares, and you can’t marry Nicolette. If you insisted on marrying Nicolette, then you’d have to give Kathleen the remaining half of the company’s shares. But you can’t resign or leave the company. You’d have to stay in the company. It’s like you’re working for Kathleen, understood?”
Samuel was rendered speechless.
“Kathleen has been married to you for three years. Think about all her youth and the devotion she has invested in this marriage for the past three years. Do you know how much you’re indebted to her?”
Samuel felt that the conditions set by Diana were ridiculous.
“What if I don’t agree to those conditions?” Samuel asked coldly.
“Why on earth would you not agree?” Diana challenged Samuel. “Or that Nicolette is after your money after all, and she wouldn’t want to marry you if you became broke?”
Samuel furrowed his brows. “Nicolette is not a gold digger. She likes me for who I am.”
“Ha!” Diana snickered. “Then go ahead and tell her that and see which option she’d go for.”
Samuel’s expression remained calm.
“Katie has been visibly haggard lately. I wouldn’t want to see her being tortured by you and Nicolette anymore. That’s why divorce is the best option.” Diana stared straight into his eyes. “Just now, when I said I agree to you divorcing Katie, she was delighted.”
Delighted?
Ha, looks like she can’t wait to get rid of me.
“Let’s just divorce. Quickly. I can’t wait to see my Katie smile again.” Diana urged Samuel. “You’re a man, so act like one. Just do it.”
Samuel felt a tearing pain in his head.
Why did Grandma and Mom have such a huge change in their attitude all of a sudden?
“Settle the divorce within three days. Do you hear me?” Diana reminded Samuel. “Katie had already promised me that she would still have me as her grandma even after the divorce. I have nothing to lose. I’ll merely lose one granddaughter-in-law and gain one more granddaughter. Who knows, I might even have another grandson-in-law in the future!”
Samuel was at a loss for words again.
