Brian smiled on the other end. "Evie, you misunderstood me. Your mother is voluntary to do this. I persuaded her, but she refused to listen. She insists that you are her daughter and have the obligation and responsibility."
Evie's gaze was still on Jane. "Really? Didn't you force her to come here?"
"Of course not. You know me. I am not that kind of person. It is true, however, that one by one, the investors have withdrawn their capital, leaving us short of funds and unable to pay the workmen for the project. Your mother is anxious about it. Well... If you have the money, pay them first, and I will return it to you later."
Evie sneered.
She hung up the phone directly.
"I'll only ask you once." Evie stared at Jane. "Did he force you, or did you come to me yourself?"
Jane looked at her, tears rolling down continuously.
"Mr. Hansen and I are a family..." Jane replied, crying.
"Answer me!" Evie scolded, "If you want money, tell me the truth!"
Jane curled her lips and became aggrieved right away.
"If I don't come, he will divorce me..."
Evie took a few deep breaths to suppress the anger that was about to erupt. "Why can't you get a divorce? I gave you so much money, and you still have so many jewels and houses..."
"I can't get a divorce. I can't do it myself!" Jane sobbed and shook her head.
Evie's hands were tightly clenched into fists.
"I have to think about it," She said in a deep voice.
"How long?" Jane asked hastily.
"Ms. Cross, we don't have much time..."
"Do you think seven million dollars will fall from the sky easily?" Evie interrupted the ruffian.
Judging from his aura and her experience, Evie knew he was definitely recruited by Caspian to scare Jane and her.

The readers' comments on the novel: My Mommy Became A Billionaire After the Breakup
I am at Chapter 550 and there are almost 2 stories in 1. Aron and Evie's story could very well have been made into another story. Such a waste of time because I am reading for Byron and Athena, not Evie and Aron...
Is there no new updates after this one?...
