Samuel regretted saying those hurtful words.
However, before Samuel could show his regret, Ian smashed his fist into Samuel's face.
Samuel's head tilted to the side. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his mind instantly sobered up.
Ian said, "You’re just a pervert who's resentful just because Lumi dumped you! Would you die if you didn’t insult women?"
Samuel spat, and his throat bobbed.
He stared at Ian and despised him for meddling in his business.
In the next second, Lumi stepped forward and slapped Samuel.
Samuel's expression turned glum.
That slap felt hot and painful.
Samuel's face was numb, but his heart instantly sank.
He finally realized that it was truly over between them.
Lumi's tone was extremely cold, and her voice was indifferent.
"I hate it most when people compare me with other women. Since you like Kirsi so much, I'll let you be together. You can either come with me and get a divorce now, or I'll tell everyone about your scandal with Kirsi!''
The corner of Samuel’s eye twitched.
Now that it has come to this point, Samuel has no chance to redeem himself.
“Fine, let's get a divorce. But you also cheated in our marriage, so I won't give you one bit of my assets."
This was his condition.
He also wanted to see if she would change her mind.
Ian's family was rich, but their business was certainly not as good as it used to be.
In terms of strength, Ian could not compare to Samuel.
The Carter family just had an advantage in societal status.
What's more, how could Lumi guarantee that Ian would marry her after she got divorced?
How could Lumi, a divorced woman, be so confident that she could find a man better than Samuel?
Lumi sneered. "Fine. I don't want a penny from you."
After she finished speaking, she raised her feet and walked out, leaving Samuel behind, frozen in shock.
Lumi did not want a penny from him.
How could a woman who loved spending money not want a penny from the divorce?
Ian raised his eyebrows and followed Lumi.
Lumi was afraid that Samuel would go back on his word, so she waited at the door.
When she saw Ian coming out, she paused ? e#=RLW< casually looked away.
"You can go now. What we're doing next has nothing to do with you."
Ian pursed his lips and paused.
"You don't need me to come with you?"
Lumi looked at Ian and laughed.
"You want to go to the City Hall with me? What are you gonna do there? Get married?"
Ian could not answer this question.
Seeing his hesitant and torn look, Lumi smiled.
"Just leave. We’ll pretend last night never happened. Mr. Carter, aren't you used to this? You probably won’t take such an ordinary night seriously, right?"
Ian hesitated to explain something, but he felt that it was unnecessary.
He was really annoyed that he made such a mistake when he was drunk. If he was sober, he would never do such a thing.
That was because he had no feelings for the women around him except for the person he likes, not to mention someone else’s wife.
Ian truly regretted that one-night stand.
However, thinking about it now made her feel repulsed.
She must be blind to fall in love with such a man.
The sooner she got a divorce, the better off she would be!
Samuel's expression changed dramatically.
Lumi stepped on his foot, making him wince and back away from the car.
She got into the car and closed the door in a fluid motion.
The next second, Lumi started the car engine without hesitation. She then stepped on the gas pedal without even looking at Samuel.
Samuel quickly took a few steps back. If he did not get out of her way, she would definitely knock him over.
His face was ashen as he watched the car leave.
Before nightfall.
Lumi could not wait to post her divorce certificate on social media.
She added a caption. "Still feeling good even without taking a penny from my ex-husband!"
Lumi was already very familiar with the people in the gentry circle.
Thus, many liked her post.
In less than one night, Mr. and Mrs. Lindstrom confronted Lumi.
Mrs. Lindstrom called her and spoke in a negotiating tone.
"It's not our original intention for you two to get a divorce. We really like you, Lumi. I'm deeply ashamed of what Samuel did, and we respect your choice. But we didn't want to treat you badly. Our families should’ve sat down and discussed the division of assets properly. Your divorce was so hasty that we didn't have time to prepare. Although the Lindstrom family has a lot of assets, Samuel hasn't inherited the family fortune, so the assets in his name are limited. I've discussed with your father that half of the property in his name will be given to you. We won't be biased toward him either. In addition, I'll give you an extra $20 million from my personal account. You can also keep the villa that I gave you before. Lumi, even if you two are divorced, we still have to maintain the relationship between our families. The photos you posted online can easily cause misunderstandings, which will affect the shares of Lindstrom Corporation. Can you please delete that post?”
Mrs. Lindstrom finally put forward her own conditions frankly.
Lumi understood Mrs. Lindstrom's perspective. Mrs. Lindstrom was probably afraid that Samuel would never find another wife from the same social status again.
That's why Mrs. Lindstrom made up such a reason to fool Lumi, but it did not matter.
