The Divorce That Brought Us Back novel Chapter 225

"Millions of dollars."

"A multi-million dollar house, and he just transferred the title like that?"

"It's probably because whenever he negotiated deals in the past, his only job was to sign his name. He assumed that once the signature was down, everything was golden and he just had to sit back and collect the cash. He doesn't understand the vetting, the confirmations, the collections—all the gritty details that his staff used to do for him. He trusted the broker too much, treating them like one of his old subordinates. That's why he ended up like this."

Jasmine patiently broke down the latest gossip on Yates for Nora.

Her tone was calm and mild, completely devoid of any vindictive excitement over Yates's misery.

It was as if she were merely an outside observer.

Cassidy couldn't help but marvel internally.

In just a few short months, Jasmine seemed entirely transformed.

Money really did nourish a person.

Especially when it was money earned by her own two hands.

It nurtured confidence, grace, and an aura of liberation.

Her entire presence had shifted.

Now, among the three of them, Nora was the one who seemed the most naive.

Even though she was the first to get married, she still carried the innocence of a child.

As for Cassidy herself.

Having achieved her current life goals, she just wanted to rest and focus on delivering her baby safely.

As for the future...

Truthfully, she felt entirely lost about what came next.

From marriage to pregnancy, it had all been about proving a point. Now that she had proven it, did she really need to keep fighting for more?

There was no answer to that question.

And there was no turning back.

As her thoughts drifted...

"Cass!" Nora's voice snapped her back to reality.

Cassidy looked over. "What's up?"

Nora looked concerned. "Are you not feeling well?"

Cassidy shook her head. "No, just lost in thought."

"About what?" Nora pressed. "You look a bit down."

Cassidy forced a smile. "Probably just exhausted from work."

She clearly didn't want to talk about it.

Nora switched gears. "Jasmine and I were thinking about getting some local BBQ tonight. You in?"

"Sure."

"It's a celebration! You've got to look happier."

"I will."

As evening fell.

The three friends headed to a popular BBQ joint on the corner.

Felix showed up as well.

It had been a while since they last saw him, and his hair was freshly dyed a slate grey.
