The Man Who Waited vs. The Man Who Wasted novel Chapter 244

Adrian clenched his fists so hard his knuckles popped.

"Jocelyn, does it really have to be like this? Why can't we just part ways cleanly?"

Jocelyn laughed coldly.

"Part ways cleanly? Your family completely trampled my dignity into the dirt, and now you want an amicable split? You don't get off that easy."

Adrian ground his teeth.

"I'll take another step back. As long as you drop the lawsuit, I'll talk to Grandma and increase your divorce settlement to a billion."

"Jocelyn, a billion is enough for you to live in luxury for the rest of your life."

He honestly thought she would jump at the offer.

Instead, she remained completely unfazed. Her beautiful lips curved into a disdainful smile as she flatly replied.

"I'm not interested."

Adrian sneered.

"A billion, and you're not interested? Jocelyn, you're playing hard to get. The Evans family doesn't want you, and once you leave the Lowell family, you'll be completely broke and useless. How are you going to survive?"

Jocelyn rested her chin on her hand and blinked her large, expressive eyes.

"You'll find out how I survive later."

Staring at her flawless, slightly playful face, Adrian suddenly found it hard to stay angry.

He let out a heavy sigh, and his tone softened considerably.

"Jo, can we stop this nonsense? Let's just follow our previous agreement and get a clean divorce. I'll bring you back later."

Jocelyn parted her soft lips.

"Not interested."

Adrian glared at her for a long time.

He was completely out of options.

"Fine, have it your way!"

Furious, Adrian stood up to leave.

Jocelyn's lips curled into a faint smile.

"However, seeing as we were once married, it's not like there isn't room for negotiation."

Adrian froze slightly.

"You're playing games with me."

Jocelyn gave a half-smile. "I am. Is that a problem? After all, I'm the one holding all the cards right now."
