The Divorce That Brought Us Back novel Chapter 352

'I also saw Bridget.'

'She asked Cass if she was unhappy with any of the terms in the agreement.'

'Do you know what terms they were talking about?'

Nora knew.

They were discussing the property division terms in the divorce settlement.

Earlier, when Cassidy first got pregnant, Bridget had made the executive decision to transfer Parker's 12% shares, plus an additional 5% from her own holdings, directly into the future child's name.

Later, as Parker continued to screw up, Bridget increased Cassidy's share percentage.

But after Maddie was born, Parker's grandfather opposed giving Parker's shares to Maddie.

Coupled with the fact that Cassidy was determined to divorce Parker.

The final, revised terms dictated that Bridget would give Cassidy 6% of the shares directly—not in the child's name, but hers. Meanwhile, Parker's 12% would be held in trust and allocated to Maddie once she turned eighteen.

Cassidy had secured multiple long-term contracts for The Quincy Corporation and pioneered their overseas market expansion. She had earned those shares through sheer hard work.

Compared to the previous arrangement, this new deal sounded like a loss.

However, Nora had analyzed it from a legal perspective with Cassidy.

The loss was simply the price of her divorce.

In modern society, it was virtually impossible for a woman to secure a divorce without paying some sort of price.

People loved to talk about the at-fault party walking away with nothing.

Wrong.

In reality, the only person walking away with nothing was the one desperate enough to leave.

Furthermore, Parker hadn't committed any legally catastrophic faults.

Cassidy's marriage to Parker was a strategic alliance. The Quinn family benefited, the Quincy family benefited, and she personally achieved a massive leap in social status.

If she wanted her freedom back, she had to forfeit something in return.

Otherwise, Parker wouldn't agree, his grandfather wouldn't agree, and if Cassidy tried to fight them using the old contract, the only guaranteed outcome was staying trapped in the marriage.

Nora messaged Jasmine back: 'Did Cass agree to the terms?'
