Chapter 301
Caleb sighed, stood up, and walked out to make a phone call, all the while keeping an eye on Ashley. He was certain she’d be tempted.
And the next proved it. One million dollars was no small amoun
If I can make that much, I wouldn’t need to fight that loser Julian for custody of our kid,’ she wondered.
Seeing Caleb actually making a call on the balcony, Ashley pondered for a moment. She took off her coat and pulled a card. out from a small hidden pocket in the lining.
She handed it to Caleb generously, offering up her secret stash of money. “Caleb, well…”
Caleb looked up at her, his face serious, and pushed the card back. “No need.”
Ashley panicked. If he didn’t take it, it meant he didn’t trust her. She was counting on living the good life with him.
She knew that investing a little now would pay off big time later. After all, Julian could aford a BMW.
Ashley would rather cry in a BMW than laugh in Julian’s truck.
So she softened her voice, speaking gently. “Caleb, I’m doing this willingly. We’re in this together. There’s no need for formalities between us.”
Caleb put on a show. “You’re a woman. Just spend money and enjoy life. Now that you’re getting a divorce, you need to have some money to your name.
Hearing this, Ashley became more insistent. She grabbed Caleb’s hand. Take it, Caleb. We’ll get through this tough time together and make even more money. One million dollars is a lot. Where else can we get that kind of money? Caleb, take it. I’ll squeeze more out of that loser when we divorce.
“This is 10 thousand dollars. It’s not much, but we can figure out the rest.”
Seeing Ashley take the bait, Caleb sighed with relief and hugged her. “Aren’t you afraid I’ll run off with the money, Ashley! Ashley raised an eyebrow and wrapped her arms around him. “Would you really leave me?”
“Of course not. Ashley, I knew you were the best. Once I make some money, I’ll buy you a villa and a luxury car”
“Yes, just like you said.”
“Don’t worry, darling. I won’t let you down.”
“Come on.
.you
know we don’t need to talk like that, We’re together, no need to
differentiate.
Caleb took the bank card and smiled. Ashley, still reveling in the joy of potentially earning a fortune, didn’t notice the fleeting contempt on Caleb’s face.
’10 thousand dollars is nothing. She definitely has more, but she just not willing to give it all at once, he wondered. Looking at the woman in front of him, already in her thirties with makeup barely hiding her wrinkles, Caleb felt disgusted. If it weren’t for the money, he wouldn’t lower himself to be with such a woman. And with her divorce, she might get a good settlement. Once he had all the money, he’d figure out his next move.
