Hunter smiled gently. "Ms. Avery, you can just leave the follow-up to the lawyers."
"Just call me Quinn. I'm not Mrs. York anymore. How long until I get the official divorce papers?"
"The standard procedure takes a month, but I'd have to check with Dominic Grant for the exact timeline."
Hunter genuinely didn't know; the lawyer had been assigned by the Chairman.
If it went quickly, dividing the assets would take seven or eight business days.
But if there were delays, they might have to wait out the legally mandated separation period.
"Let me know when you hear something. Thank you!"
Quinn knew about the mandatory waiting period. The last time she tried to divorce Miles, she got dragged through that exact one-month window, and it ended up falling through.
So she was a bit worried. She just wanted to get the papers and leave.
"Ms. Avery, Mr. Grant will call you. We might need your cooperation to transfer the deeds for those two properties."
"Okay."
Quinn suddenly felt that Miles wasn't so stingy after all. Taking care of his stomach issues for the last few years to get two properties on top of the cash... was she being overpaid?
But considering he had offered it willingly, she'd be a fool to turn it down.
In a fantastic mood, she called Yara Chase, telling her she had signed and that Miles gave her twenty million plus two properties.
Yara was just as stunned. The original deal was five million. Suddenly getting this much cash plus two houses was huge.
"Miles the Jerk... Never mind, I won't call him that anymore.
Even though he was definitely a jerk before, seeing as he didn't play any dirty tricks with the divorce and gave you all this extra wealth, I'll drop the nickname."
"But is there a trap in there?
Quinn, did you read the agreement carefully? Make sure you didn't miss any fine print."
"I read it. Everything is crystal clear in black and white."
Yara just wanted to celebrate her finally escaping that terrible contract marriage.
"So when do you officially get the papers?"
Quinn replied, "Hunter said it'll take a month at the earliest because of the mandatory waiting period in this country."
"Hunter, you drive.
Tristan, your entire bonus for this month is gone!"
Hunter shot Tristan a look of deep sympathy. Why did he have to be so careless?
He knew perfectly well the boss had been in a foul mood lately, yet he still made such a rookie mistake.
In the past, leaves had blown into the car before. Back then, Miles would just wait quietly while they cleaned it up.
Now, a single leaf or a stray hair was enough to detonate the explosive rage Mr. York had kept bottled up for so long.
...
Upon returning to the office, Jade stepped forward to greet him.
Miles immediately frowned and shot a look at Hunter. "Why is she still in the secretarial pool of the York Group?"
Hunter felt a headache coming on. He had already instructed HR to notify her.
Since he hadn't seen her for a few days, he assumed she got the message. Why was she back today?

Lol.. this guy is a complete fool , I dont know how he is the top predator , he rather believes Jade than Doctor's diagnosis 🙄 he is rich , if he didn't believe that particular doc ,he cud take her to another doctor. N he says he thinks of her as sis I mean no brother is this obsessed with his sis ,he does have a bio sis, he doesnt behave with her like that....
Whats wrong with grandparents in this kind of stories? They force the wife to stay even if she is miserable bcos they believe their grandson loves her but never tell how a married guy shud behave just enabling his behavior. 😏...
He can be friends with Jade with no boundaries but she cant be friends with Ethan? Such hypocrisy. So he does know the way he is being with Jade is wrong and still does it...
This guy brought the kid against her mom's wishes and he doesn't even respect her n when her kids are hurt she can't even fight? What gives him the right? He is just plain disgusting...
Why does he have authority over other kids? Why wud he send his assistant to bring the kids over against their mom's wishes? This guy is just stupid ,it's like a mad n stupid dog sitting on money n just doing whatever he feels like without an ounce of respect for others....
You are just a snob and holier than thou person....
His aristocratic upbringing stopped him from losing composure? Seriously , his aristocratic upbringing is not that great , he got no morals , only using underhanded tactics on a helpless individual . He got money ,so it's a viable sophistry when his heart is rotten. When the winter's family is in the wrong ,why is he scared of them attacking his wife and the winter's family doesn't even give him a shot n he still acts like a dog for them. Please don't make him the endgame for her....
It's for her own good . He is afraid of Arthur Quinn ? I mean what use is he as a husband when he's afraid of someone will ruin his wife's career n already had done once and he still doesn't have the guts to stand up for her? He can only show his power n abuse on innocent ones with no background like his wife? How disgusting is he? N he thinks he's above everyone and even when he looks down upon someone bcos she is a maid's daughter , when he is this spineless?...
Why only one episode uploading for the last 2 days?...
I would have accepted the jerk husband ending up with the heroine if he’s only powerful, intelligent but he’s so powerless and so stupid....
