Shattered Vows: Call Me Auntie Now novel Chapter 187

Quinn looked at Dante and replied calmly, "Don't worry. I only want my fair share. Let's leave the details to our lawyers; they're the professionals, after all."

Quinn simply hoped that things wouldn't turn catastrophically ugly over the property settlement.

Dante wasn't usually a petty man, but her secretly obtaining the divorce papers had deeply enraged him. It was entirely possible he would deliberately make things difficult during the asset division.

Not to mention, beyond Dante, there was still the difficult Mrs. Hayes to deal with.

Given Mrs. Hayes's icy demeanor, she would definitely claim Quinn didn't deserve a dime.

Dante clenched his hands tightly by his sides, a storm of fury swirling in his dark eyes. "So you can't even be bothered to negotiate with me face to face anymore?"

"Dante, rather than turning this into a vicious fight that humiliates us both, it's better to let the lawyers handle it. It's more civil for everyone."

"Civil?" Dante let out a low chuckle, his eyes entirely devoid of warmth. He stalked toward her, his towering figure casting a dark shadow over her.

"When you secretly got the divorce certificate and tossed me aside, did you ever consider being civil? Now that it comes to dividing the money, you suddenly care about dignity."

Quinn took a step back, her back hitting the side of the car. Dante pressed forward, cornering her.

He trapped her perfectly between his body and the vehicle.

Surrounded by Dante's chilling aura, a tight sensation gripped Quinn's scalp.

She knew Dante had just learned the truth. It was natural for him to refuse reality and react with intense anger.

It would be better to resume this conversation once he had cooled down.

Quinn pressed her hands firmly against Dante's chest and slipped out from underneath him.

"I still have work to do. You should go home."

Just then, Raymond and Leo appeared a short distance away. They were returning from their walk, the little boy chattering away to Raymond in a sweet, childish voice.

Raymond's naturally stoic face carried a rare hint of softness. But the moment his gaze landed on Dante, his expression darkened instantly.

It was like a winter lake subjected to a sudden, freezing gale, the water hardening into thick ice in a heartbeat.

Dante spotted them as well. Watching the effortlessly harmonious and relaxed dynamic between the man and the child felt like a physical blow to his eyes.
