The Heart Left Behind (Cole and Yvonne) novel Chapter 375

I looked at Henry. Sure enough, he was as pathetic as always.

"Since you're here, let's talk about the asset division," I started.

I had already arranged for a property notarization. Based on Joplin Group's current value, it wouldn't be much even if they handed over 100% of the shares.

"I remember you and Grandma have a few villas under your name. Mom is alone, so she doesn't need too many—three will do. As for your savings…"

I smirked disdainfully. Henry probably didn't have much saved up anyway. "Mom doesn't need a single cent from that. But those cars in your garage could be divided up. Let's forget about the old ones. I heard that Chris recently bought a new car? That'd be perfect for Mom. Also—" I continued.

"Bastard! Are you trying to strip the Joplin family bare?" Henry interrupted.

"Is that enough to strip the family bare?" I asked.

I couldn't stop myself from laughing. "I thought the Joplin family was rolling in wealth. You shouldn't care about these petty losses."

I walked closer to Henry. His veins were bulging, and his eyes were full of hatred. He hated me, but he was scared of me as well. I could clearly see that his lips were trembling uncontrollably.

"You probably never imagined that I'd become someone you're afraid of, did you?" I asked.

Henry's legs were trembling, and his body was stiff with fear.

"You're being too anxious." I patted his shoulder. "I'm not going to hurt you."

I glanced at Mom, and she had a blank expression on her face. This marriage had drained her of all her strength.

I hadn't stepped in before because I had wanted her to make a clean break with Henry herself. But after waiting for so long without any results, I felt like I needed to take matters into my own hands.

"I happen to have some free time lately. Let's take a trip to the Joplin residence. I'll bring my lawyer so that we can properly discuss the divorce," I said.

Henry didn't have the courage to refuse me. In less than half an hour, I found myself back in that unfamiliar place.
