The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 364

I honestly thought I had misheard.

Or maybe Grant had read it wrong. Ferris and I had the Prenuptial Agreement. There was strictly zero property division in our divorce.

Lucille was equally skeptical. "Really? They're just handing it over? Are you sure there are no hidden traps?"

"There don't appear to be any traps. The terms are straightforward, and he's transferring a ten-figure sum directly to Ms. Hayes," Grant replied seriously, before offering a polite smile. "It's quite clear Mr. Sterling is an exceptionally generous man."

"Ten figures?!" Lucille and I gasped in unison.

I was stunned, frozen in place. The whole world felt like a bizarre fever dream.

Lucille's eyes gleamed with pure ecstasy. She yanked the agreement toward her. "When I first saw how thick this was, I figured they buried a bunch of loopholes in here. I never expected them to be so generous!"

She beamed, turning to look at me. "Selena, Ferris really does care about you. Even though his heart wandered, he didn't leave you empty-handed in the end. At least those years weren't a total waste."

Care about me?

He only cared about making me suffer.

Ferris was never generous with me. Lucille didn't know the truth, so she completely misunderstood the situation, assuming he actually harbored feelings for me at some point.

But I knew the brutal reality. Ferris never had any room in his heart for me. All of his love and devotion went straight to Zoey. He wouldn't spare a single dime on me out of kindness.

I stepped forward and asked the lawyer, "Grant, are you absolutely sure you didn't misread it? Could those be debts he's transferring to me?"

I flipped through the pages one by one as Grant chimed in again. "There are some other notable clauses. Mr. Sterling is also agreeing to permanently cover Maxwell's expenses at Greenwood Care Center, as well as Sabrina's tuition and living expenses until she graduates."

The absurdity deepened.

Just days ago, when Lucille and Vivian got into a screaming match about the divorce, Ferris retaliated immediately. He cut off my sister's allowance the very next day and downgraded my dad from VIP care to a standard ward, firing one of his private nurses in the process.

Now that we were actually getting a divorce, why would he volunteer to keep paying for all of it?

"Sigh, Ferris really is a good man. At least over the last three years, he took great care of our family. He's incredibly generous, otherwise..." Lucille peeked over my shoulder, practically drooling over the paperwork, completely changing her tune.

Money was a powerful drug. It made the woman who wanted to destroy Ferris yesterday suddenly feel nostalgic and hesitant about losing him as a son-in-law.
