Chapter 497
Michael's eyes gradually darkened.
He looked at Erica quietly. Her face was full of greed and malice. He had accepted the fact that she was not very beautiful, but he had been willing to accommodate her, even her flaws.
However, at this moment, he felt that his life spent with Erica was ridiculous.
It had been more than 20 years. Erica should have accepted him by now but it was clear to him now that she just thought of him as a clown.
' What, you're unwilling?" Erica couldn't help but sneer when she did not hear his reply.
Michael took a deep breath and said, "Erica, you must know that what you are asking for is not realistic."
Erica replied, "Alright, I don't want half of the Flouder family's shares. I know that it will be difficult for you. Although you're the head of the Flouder family, you have other family members. I have changed my mind. I want half of what you have."
Michael said, "Erica, don't even think about it. You can't take anything from the Flouder family, and I won't give you anything.”
Erica's expression suddenly changed. 'Then I'll not agree to a divorce."
Michael said, "You know, I have many ways to divorce you. If you agree to the divorce, I will still give you alimony after the divorce.
' However, if you insist on exhausting the last bit of our relationship and making things ugly, don’t blame me for being heartless."
' Alright, then show me. Let's see what you can do to me!’
She was fearless.
Michael looked at her with a deep gaze and said, "Do you know something? People who are pampered and loved will be fearless and demanding.
' However, I have to tell you that I don't love you anymore. You have already lost the right to be fearless and demanding."
' Look at Patriarch Barker. He tolerated your mother for almost his whole life, but in the end, could he still do it? Erica, everyone has a bottom line."
Erica was stunned, and a trace of confusion flashed across her eyes. She looked at Michael and shouted angrily, "Michael Flouder, what right do you have to say such things to me? Look at you. You've been a coward all your life. If you were half as good as Philip, I wouldn't have suffered for so many years!"
Although Michael was already extremely disappointed in Erica, he still felt bitterly disheartened when he heard these words.
"For more than twenty years, do you only feel pain and bitterness when you are with me? If that's the case, why did you choose to stay with me for so many years?' Michael gritted his teeth and asked.
Erica wanted to say something, but she was stunned suddenly.
She wondered why she was willing to stay married to Michael for so many years. Of course, it was because he was accommodating toward her, loved her, and gave her everything she asks for.
But shouldn't that be the case? She was married to him. He should treat her well.
Michael looked at her deeply and did not say anything else. He only said, 'Erica, I'll give you one night. If you think through it carefully, well get a divorce tomorrow morning. I'll give you alimony, and you need not worry about money for the rest of your life.
"If you can't figure it out, I'll hand over all the Flouder family’s shares to my other family members tomorrow morning. Shelly and I will leave the Flouder family and give up our rights to the assets. You won't get anything either. At that time, I'll sue for divorce until you can't afford the money and time."
Erica widened her eyes and looked at him as if she was looking at a lunatic.
Michael said, "Well wait and see. I have set my mind to divorce you. Don't even think about the shares. HI come to look for you tomorrow morning. Let me know your decision then."
With that, he turned around and left.
Michael walked out of Erica's ward and bumped into Shelly.
Michael's expression changed slightly.
Shelly was calm as she said softly, Dad, I will support whatever decision you make."
