The Divorce That Brought Us Back novel Chapter 72

For the first time in his life, the young heir of the Quincy family tasted the bitter reality of having no money.

When his parents informed him that he would have to ask Cassidy for his allowance, he had been furious and confused, but the reality hadn't truly set in.

It wasn't until he drove out, realized his tank was empty, and had his card declined at the gas station that the humiliation of being broke finally hit him.

Ever since Parker had falsely accused Cassidy of cheating, and the photos of him and Seraphina had exploded online, the two of them hadn't spoken a single word to each other.

It was as if whoever spoke first would be the loser.

God only knew why they were so obsessed with winning this silent war.

His parents had tried to counsel him countless times.

He refused to listen.

But now, Parker was forced to swallow his pride and contact Cassidy.

He had to beg her for cash.

Harrison and Bridget Quincy had certainly played a brilliant hand.

Parker weighed the humiliation of borrowing money from his buddies against the humiliation of asking his wife.

When he really thought about it, his parents' decisions were absolute. They were dead set on punishing him, and there was no way out.

He could bum cash off his friends once or twice.

But he couldn't do it forever.

Eventually, he had to call Cassidy.

Swallowing his disgust, Parker frowned and dialed her number, lazily demanding some cash. Without a single word of complaint, Cassidy swiftly transferred ten thousand dollars into his account.

Instantly, he felt the storm had passed.

To him, it was an olive branch.

Cassidy had caved first.

Parker felt completely vindicated.

In reality, Cassidy didn't want anything to do with him.

When his parents first proposed using money to leash Parker, Cassidy thought it was entirely unnecessary.

He didn't realize he was wrong. He truly believed he was the victim. Continuing to restrict and pressure him now would only fuel his resentment and make him want to rebel even more.
