The Masterpiece of Leaving：Prepared A Perfect Stand-In For Him novel Chapter 45

"You are already divorced, what else can you have to do with her?" Fredrica expressed her unhappiness as she knew Pamela was looking for me.

I glanced at the phone screen for a moment.

"Pamela has never been willing to talk to me. This time, she personally called me. Something important must have happened. I need to go and see what she wants."

Despite her dissatisfaction, Fredrica still dropped me off at the meeting place.

When I entered, Pamela had already arrived and was sitting upright in her chair.

Upon seeing me, Pamela took a sip of coffee and then lowered her head before speaking indifferently, "Have a seat."

Pamela had a way of making me feel inferior with just one look.

In front of her, I felt as though I were no more than a mere kitten or dog!

However, I no longer listened to her as I used to.

I stood a meter away and replied calmly, "If Mrs. Spencer has something to say, just go ahead."

Pamela's eyebrows twitched, clearly displaying her disdain for my lack of deference.

However, she refrained from reprimanding me and instead nodded at the person beside her, "Lawyer Helen."

Helen stepped forward.

"Miss Armstrong, since you and Mr. Aubrey have already divorced, you should make a decision regarding child support."

"The child? She is mine. Of course, I will take care of her," I replied without hesitation.

"Do not forget, that child is also my granddaughter!" Pamela coldly reminded me, her drooping eyelids exuding disdain for my ignorance.

I couldn't help but laugh.

"Mrs. Spencer actually acknowledges that you have a granddaughter. That's rare!"

From the moment Iris was born until now, Pamela had never even held her.

Every time she faced Iris, she wore the same expression of indifference, as if Iris were just a pet in the family.

My words clearly offended Pamela's sense of prestige, and her face suddenly tightened.

However, she quickly regained her composure, as if the bigwig didn't care about the little ants. "Iris is the kid of the Spencer family and must stay with us."

"But she is closest to me!" I reminded. "You can ask Iris herself whether she wants to be with me or with you."

"The child is only three years old, so her opinion is naturally irrelevant."

"Considering the hard work I put into my pregnancy and childbirth, Mrs. Spencer can give you a certain amount of money as compensation."

"I advise Miss Armstrong to accept it as soon as it is offered. Otherwise, if this matter goes to court, you have no chance of winning with your current financial resources."

Helen's words were intimidating, and she placed a check on the table.

When I saw the amount on it, I couldn't help but want to laugh.

One million! Pamela really thought I was a surrogate for a wealthy family.

Clearly, it was apparent that Pamela had not only come to discuss custody but also to relish the opportunity to humiliate me with the million dollars at stake.

"Who said that I don't have the financial resources?"
