Carmen was Tracey's most hated person. She deserved all she was going through now.
Adela was narrow- minded and would seek revenge for the slightest grievance. Carl’s words also strengthened her determination.
When Carmen requested forgiveness for Leo, being a mother, Adela became soft for a moment. Actually, Leo didn't commit a huge mistake, he was at most out of the instinct to protect his mother.
After Carl's persuasion, Adela changed her mind immediately. "Carmen, stop dreaming, just wait for the lawsuit. Oh, it's not you, it's your son."
"Miss Lin, I'll kneel to you. You can do whatever you want on me. It's all my fault. Can you forgive my son?" Carmen said and knelt again.
"Get up and don't kneel to her. She won't agree. You're just asking for humiliation." Edgar couldn't bear to see it, and he quickly helped Carmen up.
When Adela saw that Edgar cared so much about Carmen, her eyes darkened. "Mom, give me the divorce agreement."
"What's wrong?" Mrs. Lin was a little confused that why Adela asked for divorce agreement at this time.
The divorce was hotly disputed because of property division. Both of Adela and Edgar had hired a lawyer.
In fact, Adela knew clearly that she didn't want to divorce.
Even if Edgar liked to mess around with women, she didn' t want to leave her husband.
Property division was an excuse Adela used to delay the divorce process. She wanted to give Edgar some time to regret.
Seeing he defended Carmen just now, Adela's hopes shattered.
It was she who proposed divorce, but Edgar agreed without a little hesitation. Both of them had suffered a lot in the marriage.
However, sometimes, women said that they wanted to break up, it didn't mean that they really want to break up. It was a kind of threat or another way of detainment.
"Mom, give it to me," Adela insisted.
"Okay, here you are. Don't cry." Mrs. Lin handed over the agreement to Adela.
Edgar drafted this agreement. He didn't request too much but a few apartments and cash in less than ten million yuan.
The asset he asked was all earned by himself these years. He didn't require anything that belonged to the Lin family.
He bought the apartment in consideration of giving Renee and Leo shelter in case that one day they lost their home.
And Adela knew this. On the surface, she asked Edgar to leave without any joint property, in fact, she didn't sign on the agreement was just for holding him back.
"Mother, give me the pen." Adela's eyes were cold. Until now, it was no need to remain in hope. Edgar didn't love her at all.
"Adela, don't let them take advantage of you. You shall ask him to leave with nothing!" Mrs. Lin persuaded.
"Give me the pen!" Adela shouted again.
Mrs. Lin handed the pen over. Adela took it and signed the divorce agreement directly.
