What does he have to do with anything?

The next morning when I woke up, Lucas had already left for work. I lay in bed staring at the ceiling.
Another day of failing to get up early.
go check it out!”
My best friend happened to call just then. “LV just got a new shipment in. Let’s g
“No thanks, I haven’t even gotten up yet, I groaned.
My friend’s tone turned suggestive. “Ava’s living the good life, huh?”
“Shut up! I have important business today. Let’s meet up another time.”
i was determined to talk to Lucas about divorce today, no matter what!
After eating, I drove to his company.
Lucas’s business had grown tremendously over the years. I hadn’t set foot in the company for a long time, but thankfully the receptionist still recognized me.
However, she didn’t know Bella White.
“I’m sorry miss, but you need an appointment to see Mr. Quinn. If you can’t make an appointment, I’m afraid you won’t be able to see him,” the receptionist explained to a frustrated-looking Bella.
Seeing Bella at a loss, I was secretly delighted. I sauntered over, putting on an act.
Is Mr. Quinn in the office, Sarah?” Tasked casually.

The receptionist immediately bowed deeply. “Yes, ma’am. The CEO said you can go up anytime you want to see him. Let me call the elevator for you.”
I shot Bella a smug look, about to leave when she suddenly called out, “Can we talk?”
I gestured to the sofas by the window in the lobby. “Let’s chat there for a bit. I’m in a hurry.”
Bella clenched her fists. As soon as I sat down, she blurted out, “Divorce Lucas. He loves me.”

“So what? I’m Mrs. Quinn now,” I said, leaning back on the sofa and casually showing off my S-curve figure. “I’m the one who can go straight up to the top floor without an appointment. You should keep trying to make that appointment.”
“Why are you clinging to Lucas?!” Bella exclaimed, veins popping on her forehead like she wanted to hit me.
“There are security guards everywhere, so you’d better not try anything physical. But if you want me to divorce Lucas, that can be arranged:
Bella’s eyes flickered. “What do you want?”
*Flat rate – $2 million and I’ll divorce him immediately.”
Bella looked at me in disbelief. I continued, “I know it’s not easy making it in showbiz. How about this- $5 million and I’ll tell everyone Lucas and I separated amicably. For $7 million, I’ll announce that we’ve been unhappily married and divorced a while ago.”
“Take your pick,” I said with a smile.
“You’re shameless!” Bella cursed. “Is money all you care about? You don’t appreciate how great Lucas is.”
What kind of logic was that?
You’d better decide quickly, or the price will go up. As soon as the money hits my account, I’ll talk to Lucas about dividing our assets.”
“You want to take Lucas’s money even in divorce?!”
What else did she expect?

Now it was my turn to be shocked.
“Did you get stupider studying abroad? Why wouldn’t I get half? Your $7 million is buying the end of our marriage and my promise not to badmouth you publicly. But the money Lucas earned during our marriage – you think I wouldn’t get half of that?”
“Why should you?!” Bella was fuming.
I laughed out loud. “It’s called marital property, honey.”
“But you…” Bella thought for a long time before continuing, “But what have you done for Lucas? He’s the one making all the money while you just spend it.”
“I have every right to spend my husband’s money!” I stood up and lowered my voice. “Who says I haven’t helped him? I’ve been taking care of his physical needs. What, you think I’ve been sleeping with him for free these past two years?”
My waist was about to break from all the action. It would be a huge loss not to get my fair share!
Bella was still in shock, unable to respond. I couldn’t be bothered to argue further and headed straight for the elevator to the top floor.
When I walked into the office, Lucas was standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows, seemingly on a call with someone.
His back was turned to me, cutting an imposing figure with broad shoulders and a narrow waist.
To be honest, he was the perfect man – handsome, wealthy, good cook, and amazing in bed. Though he could be a bit too energetic at night, it
was still bearable.
Too bad a man like this didn’t have his heart set on me.
“Why are you here?” Lucas hung up the phone and sat back down.
I cleared my throat. “Um, I think we should get div-”
“Oh right, I have something to tell you,” Lucas interrupted. “Remember that supercar you wanted? It’s arriving next month.”
The supercar?
*You mean the pink one I saw at Venus? The one with only 3 in the world?”

Lucas nodded with a smile.
My eyes suddenly lit up.
That was a car money couldn’t even buy.
Lucas’s smile deepened. “What were you about to say just now?”
An internal struggle began in my mind.
If I left Lucas, I definitely wouldn’t get the car.
It might even end up going to Bella instead.
I couldn’t take that loss.
Maybe…I could wait a bit longer to bring up divorce? At least until after I got the car!
I smiled and walked around the desk to hug him coyly.
