Chapter 012 Jenny Signed

Barret looked up at her. “Are you sure you want 100 million?”

“You think it’s too much?” Jenny looked at him mockingly.

“If you really want it, I’ll give you,” Barret said.

Jenny tore up the Divorce Agreement in her hands and threw all the scraps of paper away in front of Barret.

“I’m such a loser, Barret. I’m just a gold-digger in your mind who’s only interested in money.”

“You love Laura so much that you’d give me 100 million without batting an eye for her?”

“It has nothing to do with Laura. As I said, I will try my best to give you whatever you ask for if I

can. I am the one who broke the agreement by ending it early. If you want money, I will just give it to you.”

Jenny looked at him and suddenly burst out laughing.

She clenched her fists and laughed so hard that tears came out of her eyes. “If you have already. decided that, then there is no point for me to explain.”

“Get out of here. I don’t want to see you.”

When Barret left, Carey walked in gingerly.

Jenny stared at him with an angry look on her face. “What are you doing here?”

Carey laid the copies of the agreement in his hands one by one on the table and then looked at Jenny. “Mr. Smith told me to print out five copies and send you the electronic version as well. He said that you can sign them when you calm down.”

Jenny grabbed the pen and signed straight away without even reading them.

Then she tossed them to Carey. “Tell him, I don’t want a penny of his money.”

She didn’t bring a penny with her when she came to the Smith family.

And she wouldn’t take a penny when she left.

When he got the Divorce Agreement signed by Jenny, Carey called Barret immediately. “Mrs.

Smith has signed, Sir.”

“Signed?”

Barret was surprised that it had gone so well.

“Did she say anything?”

“She said that she didn’t want a penny of your money,” Carey said truthfully.

Hanging up the phone, Barret rubbed between his eyebrows hard.

For some reason, he suddenly became agitated.

Opposite him, Laura smiled gently and asked, “Barret, what was signed?”

“The Divorce Agreement,” he answered lightly.

Stunned and incredulous, Laura asked, “You mean she has agreed and signed it?”

“Yeah.”

“That’s great, Barret. After all these years, we can finally be together openly.” Laura got up and hugged him joyfully.

Barret, however, looked somewhat disappointed. For some reason, he didn’t feel as happy or relieved as he had imagined when he heard that Jenny had signed so quickly and without a hint

of hesitation.

“I’m going to the bathroom.”

Pushing Laura aside gently, Barret went outside and lit a cigarette.

The smoke rose, and his clean-cut silhouette became hazy in the smoke.

She had signed so quickly.

Sure enough, she was going to see her beloved.

He was frustrated by the knowledge that he, Barret, was no better to her than a man who was

getting remarried.

Laura was there when Carey came with the Divorce Agreement.

“You can leave it with me. I’ll give it to Barret later.”

Thinking that Barret was going to marry her soon, Carey gave it to her unsuspectingly.

Upon seeing the property part and all those things Barret had given to Jenny, Laura instantly

clenched her hands.

So much money?

It was many times more than what an ordinary person could get in a lifetime.

Barret had given it to Jenny so easily.

Jenny didn’t bring any money with her when she married into the Smith family, so why should

she get so much money in the divorce? Laura got furious as soon as she saw that.

The next day, Jenny packed up her things and got ready to leave the hospital.

Suddenly, an unexpected visitor came to her ward.

“What are you doing here?” she looked at Laura and asked coldly.

Thinking about the purpose of her visit today, Laura tried to control herself and put on a smile

that was as gentle as it could be. “Let’s have a drink. I want to apologize to you.”

Laura wanted to apologize to Jenny?

How could that be possible?

Jenny knew with a little thought that Laura must be up to something.

In the cafe downstairs, Laura ordered a latte and then turned to Jenny. “What would you like to

drink?”

“I’ll have some plain water.”

The look on Laura’s face was steeped in embarrassment. She felt Jenny was doing it on

purpose.

“Just tell me what you have to say. I don’t have time to waste with you here,” Jenny said straight

away.

“I did go a little overboard with what I said last time. Please forgive me.”

“What if I don’t?”

Laura had not expected Jenny would respond like that. She paused and then smiled again, “Then I’ll sincerely apologize. I’m sorry, Jenny, but I didn’t mean to hurt you.”

What a terrible apology from a weasel to a chicken.

A woman like Laura must be up to something big if she said sorry.

“Get to the point. I’m leaving if you don’t.”

Laura got anxious as soon as she heard that.

She grabbed Jenny, took something out of her bag and put it in front of Jenny.

Another Divorce Agreement?

When she glanced at the words, Jenny sneered, “I’ve already signed it. Why? You’re afraid I’ll lie

to you and want me to sign it again in front of you?”

“No.”

Laura smiled and replied, “I thought there was a slight problem with the property part, so I made a little change. Can you sign it again?”

A little change?

Jenny gave her a look and picked up the Divorce Agreement.

When she saw that the amount of the divorce settlement had been changed from “10 million” to “1 million”, she laughed, “Did you or Barret change it?”

Jenny didn’t get furious as Laura had expected, and she was quite calm instead.

“I did.”

Jenny looked at Laura disdainfully. “Does Barret know? Are you sure he’ll agree?”

“Of course, he will.”

“If so, why are you afraid to tell him? And why did you bring it to me behind his back? Laura, you’re from the Hill family. You may be crippled, but you should still have your pride. I didn’t expect that you would do anything for money. You’re such a money-mad woman.”

Jenny’s words made Laura furious.

“What about you? You didn’t have any money when you married into the Smith family, and you

don’t even have a dowry. Why should you take so much in the divorce?”

“Who told you I didn’t have a dowry?”

Laura sneered, “With your poor mother and gambler father, what kind of dowry could you get?

Even if you had, it would be shabby as hell.”

Jenny lifted her hand and pointed to the jade bracelet on her wrist. “Oh? You mean this is Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

shabby?”

bracelet?”

“When my mother saved Dad and Grandpa, Grandpa gave it to her himself as a token. When I married Barret, Grandpa said it’s my dowry. Although it’s a dowry, it belongs to me for the rest of my life and he won’t give it to anyone but me.”

Laura stumbled, Jenny’s words chilling her to the bone.

Of course, she knew the jade bracelet.

It was the ancestral bracelet of the Smith family, which had never been passed down to anyone but their daughters-in-law.

Grandpa had actually given it to Jenny. No wonder Jenny was so arrogant.

But Laura had gone through ups and downs. She calmed herself down and made a bold decision. “Jenny, why don’t we make a deal?”
