Leo closed the divorce agreement and pulled on one corner with his hand. “If you don’t tell me the truth, I’ll tear it up right now!”
“Don’t!” Jessica panicked. “I took out the signature page separately and confirmed it with the landscaping maintenance while Sophia was busy, then had her sign it.”
Seeing Leo’s face show a murderous expression, Jessica quickly continued, “You know that Sophia absolutely does not want to divorce you. For her safety, I had no choice but to resort to this plan. Leo, if you want Sophia to live well, hurry up and sign your name.”
Leo sighed deeply and flipped back to the signature page of the divorce agreement.
Although he didn’t want to do it at all in his heart, he only had one choice in order to protect Sophia: signing for a divorce.
Leo wasn’t afraid of any retaliation or danger himself but Sophia was innocent; she shouldn’t have had anything she didn’t deserve because of him.
In the end, Leo picked up a pen tremblingly and wrote down his name in the signature line.
At this moment, Leo felt more pain than when he suffered Yonamine’s heavy blow.
Jessica snatched away the divorce agreement from Leo as if holding onto a treasure and hugged it tightly like an excited child. The happiness on her face was evident.
Leo sat dejectedly on the sofa, feeling like all the vitality in his body had been drained away.
After the brief moment of happiness, Jessica suddenly remembered another crucial matter. She turned her eyes and, in a matter-of-fact tone, said, “Leo, since you’ve signed the divorce agreement, it means you acknowledge the terms in the agreement. The agreement stipulates that after the divorce, assets will be divided equally. How much money do you have? Speak up.”
At this point, Leo’s heart was already as lifeless as ashes, and wealth and money meant nothing to him.
Leo took out his wallet, pulled out a bank card, and threw it onto the coffee table. In a desolate tone, he said, “All my money is on this card. Give it to Sophia; I don’t want a single cent of my property.”
Jessica quickly took the bank card, holding the divorce agreement in one hand and the bank card in the other. She felt her heart pounding strongly.
“Leo, how much money is in this card?” Jessica asked, suppressing her excited emotions.
In Jessica’s view, Leo’s bank card should have a few million at most.
“I haven’t checked the exact amount, but it should be around two or three hundred million,” Leo said nonchalantly.
“What?” Jessica widened her mouth, thinking she had misheard. “Say that again, how much?”
“Two or three hundred million!”
“Haha, Leo, stop bragging. Two or three hundred million? Do you think I’m a three-year-old child?” Jessica wore an expression of absolute disbelief.
Leo’s mood was currently very uncomfortable, and he didn’t want to argue with Jessica about these things. “My card, you better honestly give it to Sophia. If I find out that you’ve used the money inside, you’ll bear the consequences!”
Leo stood up from the sofa, saying no more.
“Humph, of course, I’ll give the card to Sophia. You don’t need to worry about it! Oh, by the way, just giving a card is not enough. What’s the password?”
“Sophia knows the password!”
“Fine.” Jessica blinked her eyes twice, adopting the demeanor of a family head. “Leo, starting now, you have no relationship whatsoever with our Henley family. Pack up your things and leave. In a couple of days, I’ll bring Sophia to find you, and then we’ll go to the civil affairs bureau to sign the divorce papers.”
Leo’s emotions were now in a terrible state. He didn’t want to say another word to Jessica. He turned and walked towards the stairs, going upstairs to the bedroom to start packing his things.
Nora hesitated for a moment, walked in from outside, wiped away a tear, and said, “Mr. Bloomer, are you really going to divorce Sophia?”
“Nora, to protect Sophia, I have no choice. After I leave, you continue working in the villa. As long as Sophia is there, Jessica won’t dare to bully you. Your salary will still be paid from my side.” Leo tried to force a smile onto his face.
However, Nora found Leo’s smile unbearable, and even her tone became choked as she spoke, “Mr. Bloomer, please don’t blame me for being nosy, but I think you should call Sophia and tell her the truth.”
“Not now,” Leo decisively shook his head. “If Sophia knows the truth, she will definitely not agree to the divorce, and then she’ll be in danger! Nora, please pretend you didn’t hear our conversation just now. I’m begging you.”
With tears in her eyes, Nora sighed deeply, indicating her agreement to Leo.
After packing up his belongings, Leo looked at Nora again and solemnly said, “Nora, after I leave, please take care of Sophia for me.”
“Mr. Bloomer, don’t worry. I will definitely take good care of Sophia.” Nora wiped away a tear and nodded emphatically.
Leo, holding the handle of the suitcase, kept his eyes fixed on the large bed in the bedroom, unwilling to look away.
As he left, he didn’t know when he would return, and when he would lie on this bed again with Sophia.
Sophia, after dealing with the Harumitsu family, I will remarry you as soon as possible. Please wait for me…
Descending to the living room, Jessica was sitting on the sofa, cracking melon seeds and watching TV without even glancing at Leo.
Reluctantly, Nora escorted Leo to the door and saw him off in a taxi.
Leo initially thought of driving away in his old Mercedes E-Class, but considering that he had just declared not to take a single cent of his property in front of Jessica, he dismissed that idea.
As the living room door closed, Jessica began to dance with joy on the sofa, overjoyed.
She took Leo’s bank card out again, holding it to her chest like a treasure, muttering, “If there really are two or three hundred million in this card, it’s a fortune!”
“Two or three hundred million, enough to support generations to come. Such a sense of security!” she mumbled.
“After the divorce procedures are completed at the civil affairs bureau, Sophia will truly regain her freedom. By then, I’ll find her a wealthy family. Life will be so enjoyable.”
Originally, Jessica’s plan was to extract all of Leo’s hidden money and then let him and Sophia split their assets evenly.
However, after all calculations, she didn’t expect Leo to leave without taking a penny, leaving cleanly.
The thought process of a son-in-law was truly beyond the understanding of ordinary people, Jessica thought to herself.
Not long ago, Jessica secretly set three major goals: change the name on the property certificate of Cloud Dream Mountain Number Nine Villa to Sophia’s, get Sophia and Leo divorced, and seize Leo’s property.
With the perfect achievement of these three goals, she felt like she had reached the pinnacle of life.
