Chapter 198 Getting a Divorce (4)
“To me, the Knights are all strangers. I couldn’t care less about what they think of me.”
The statement elicited Rosy to ask, “What about Ethan?”
“It’s the same,” Alice replied without hesitation. It was the truth anyway.
At that moment, Rosy was startled. She looked at Alice and wanted to say something but swallowed her words eventually. Instead, she took out the agreement that Alice had signed before joining the Knight Family. “This is the agreement that we first signed. Since you did well, I’ll give you some compensation.”
Alice did not look at the agreement. She thought there was something more vital than that. “Are you done with the divorce procedures? Should I be present? Or should I provide any paperwork?” Since she wanted to cut ties with Ethan, she wanted to do it thoroughly. Laws protected marriage, so she needed to make things clear when divorcing.
Taken aback, Rosy did not expect Alice to be so straightforward. She returned to her senses and said, “I’ll ask someone to deal with the divorce procedures. You don’t have to be present or prepare any paperwork. I’ll deal with it. When it’s done, I’ll send someone to deliver you the papers.”
Alice did not doubt her words since she was absent when applying for the marriage certificate. At that time, Ethan did not ask her to provide any paperwork, and Caleb gave her the marriage certificate after not more than thirty minutes. Thus, when Rosy said she could handle the divorce procedures herself, Alice trusted her.
“I don’t need the divorce decree. You can just take a picture and send it to me.” No matter how carefree Alice was, she did not want to have a divorce paper in her house. All she wanted was for the procedures to go through.
“This is the compensation.” Rosy pushed the cheque to Alice.
That did not receive a glance from Alice either. She stood up and said, “I don’t need it.” She added when Rosy was about to respond. “Of course. I don’t need anything else either. I will earn whatever I want by myself.”
However, Rosy did not seem to believe in her. “You’re a woman, Alice. Nothing bad will happen if you have more money on you. Don’t be—”
Before she could finish her words, Alice cut her off. “Please tell Ethan I’ll transfer the 72 million he gave me to Caroline’s card.”
Hearing her words, Rosy froze. She did not expect Ethan to give Alice 72 million, a much larger sum than hers. Moreover, she was surprised and unsettled that Alice refused to accept it. “Just take the money, Alice.”
“I don’t need it, Mrs. Knight. It’s not like I hate money, but I just don’t need it.” Alice knew what Rosy was thinking and thought it was funny. After all, was her performance in the Knight Family not enough to prove her point? Why would she keep on bugging Ethan after she left?
At that point, Alice did not feel the need to explain her purpose to Rosy because the latter’s doings were disrespectful.
“You don’t need money? Your company is now in the hands of others, and you tried to steal the confidential files of Galerprises when you had just worked there not long ago. You have nothing. Even if you were to look for a job, no one would be willing to take you in. How is it that you don’t need money?” It was clear that Rosy did not trust her. The more Alice refused to take the money, the more unsettling Rosy
felt.
At that, Alice smiled and said nothing. Then, she turned around and left the study room.
Before she walked out of the door, Rosy yelled, “You refuse to take my money, nor do you want Ethan’s. Is it because you have other plans?”
