I Refuse to Divorce novel (Zoe and Mason) novel Chapter 40

Zoe received the transfer from Mason while having coffee with Ella. Ella had received some news about Liam and wanted to discuss it with Zoe.

Ella shared the information she gathered, saying, "Liam is in some primitive tribe in Yarifa, providing legal aid. The assistant mentioned he might not be back for another one or two years. I told you, Zoe, these successful lawyers, once they hit the big time, they seem to get disillusioned with the urban life and money. It's all about the hustle and bustle of the big city, isn't it?"

After finishing, Ella took a big sip of her coffee, making a face.

She could not stand this pretentious stuff.

Zoe lowered her head, stirring her coffee lightly.

Worried that Zoe could not handle the news, Ella consoled her softly, "Let's keep looking into it. I refuse to believe that no one else can handle it besides him."

Zoe nodded, about to say something, when she received a 30 thousand-dollar transfer notification.

She was slightly taken aback.

Seeing her expression, Ella could not help but lean in.

"Whose message is that, you look like you've seen a ghost."

"It's from that jerk."

"He's transferring 30 thousand dollars to you. What does that mean? Is he trying to get you to sleep with him? Zoe, I always said this guy is no good... It turns out he's just like any other man, driven by lust."

…

Zoe did not respond. She put away her phone.

Ella still looked eager. "We can at least order something now with that 30 thousand dollars!"

Zoe forced a bitter smile, "Mason's money always comes with strings attached."

Ella could not help but curse a few more times.

With a scheduled appointment looming, she bid farewell to Zoe. Before leaving, she did not waste a drop of the terrible coffee, a habit she developed since childhood.

Zoe was also ready to leave, but as she stood up, her phone rang.

Thinking it was Mason, she was surprised to see a message from Aurora instead.

"I'm arriving in Brookesville on Saturday. I look forward to meeting you."

Zoe could not help but smile.

After replying, she tidied up and headed to the Imperial Hotel.

By the time she finished work, it was nearly 11:00 PM.
