Chapter 5
She didn’t ask me for a penny
Brian’s life today can no longer be described with the words “uncomfortable”. He originally thought that he had divorced Charlotte, which was a good happy event for him.
However, it didn’t take long for the news of their divorce to spread, and his cell phone received one after another call from his buddy.
All the calls begin with: “Brian, are you divorced from Charlotte?”
Nothing is embarrassing about this issue. He didn’t want to hide his divorce from Charlotte, and he couldn’t hide it when it came out this morning.
Brian answered honestly and coldly: “Leave.”
The person on the other end of the phone took a sharp breath: “Oh my God, this stupid woman Charlotte finally gave up on you and stopped clinging to you? For a while, I didn’t know whether to congratulate you or sympathize with you. In our circle, a woman like Charlotte is hard to find even with a lantern, but it’s all about you! She’s just a little stupid, a little bullied, a little poor, and a little bit of money-worshipping, but if you think about it carefully I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that.”
Brian, who originally thought he would wait for a congratulation: “??”
What kind of friends are these?
The key is that there is more than one friend like this. After Brian received three such calls in a row, his face was as gloomy as the sky about to be stormy.
However, divorce from Charlotte brought him more trouble than this. Just after dealing with the phone calls of those bad friends who were gloating at the show, Mark Anderson suddenly told him that his mother, Anita was there.
On the Internet, the matter of his divorce from Charlotte was such a big deal, and Brian also knew why Anita came.
When she learned that Charlotte and Brian were divorced, Anita was filled with joy that could not be concealed on the way, but when she hit the hot search, she was not so happy.
Why is this Henry related to Charlotte?
He also said that he had a crush on Charlotte for many years. Although he knew that it was impossible for the two of them, he still hoped that Charlotte would jump out of the fire pit of the Morris family. Now that she has jumped out, Henry feels very much like a former crush and now a good friend. Happy.
In just a few short sentences, Anita tasted a lot of meaning from it.
The joy on her face disappeared, and she rushed into Brian’s office: “Brian, tell your mother the truth, Charlotte divorced you because of her cheating?”
Although the three-year marriage with Charlotte was in vain, no man was willing to wear a bright green hat.
Brian’s face suddenly turned cold: “Mom, what are you talking about?
Anita was choked by Charlotte a few days ago, but now she sees online that their Morris family’s abuse of Charlotte is a fire pit, and her son is likely to be raped. She wants to calm down but she can’t.
“Look for yourself! Just as your front foot came out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, the suitor of this woman on the back foot picked her up! Who knows if they will be better soon! Our reputable Morris family can’t tolerate being bullied like this!”
Brian had a meeting to sign the documents after returning from the Civil Affairs Bureau. He expected that the news of his divorce from Charlotte would explode on the Internet, but he never thought it would escalate like this.
After he saw the phrase “secretly in love with Charlotte for many years”, his heart seemed to be stabbed by something. For a moment, he also wondered if Charlotte divorced him so readily, whether she had already gotten along with this man…
But it was only for a moment. Even if Brian didn’t like Charlotte anymore, she knew that she was instructed by Anita to do this and that in Morris’s house all day long, and she would never have time to cheat.
“Mom, Charlotte, and I have already divorced. We’ve had a peaceful divorce She doesn’t want anything. From now on, we’ll just treat this person as non-existent. You’d better watch less of this entertainment news.”
Anita is so angry, of course, it’s not just this hot search. She thought that Charlotte’s divorce must have been a bite from the Morris family.
The meat came down, but now Brian told her that Charlotte didn’t want anything.
She didn’t believe it: “She doesn’t want anything? She has been in our family for three years, isn’t she just for money? Now that she is willing to divorce you, how could she want nothing?”
Brian didn’t want to deal with Anita anymore, so he directly called Mark to come in: “Show my mother the divorce agreement.”
After speaking, he picked up the jacket on the side and immediately got up and left. Mark gazed at his back and called out, “Hey, Mr. Morris, won’t you go home with your mother for dinner?”
“Something’s wrong.”
Brian rarely goes back to the Morris family’s villa, firstly because Charlotte is at the house, and secondly because the relationship between him and Anita is not as good as the outside world sees it. Back at the apartment, Brian’s ears finally calmed down.
He was busy all day so he didn’t have much time to think about his divorce from Charlotte. He just went to see what kind of tricks Charlotte wanted to play this morning.
He didn’t believe that she would get a divorce. Just like his friends said, Charlotte is a woman who worshipped money a little and loved him when she was cute.
She is very greedy, she wants money and people, how can she get divorced so easily.
So he went without even taking the agreement she brought over that day, but he didn’t want her to hand him another identical agreement the first thing she saw him.
To be honest, he was a little confused at that time. He would do whatever Charlotte said. When he reacted, the divorce certificate was in hand.
Oh, now in the pocket.
Brian took out the divorce certificate in his pocket, it was still the same red color, but the three words “marriage certificate” became “divorce certificate”.
He felt inexplicably dazzled, raised his hand, and threw it into the trash can not far away.
The phone beside him rang, Brian tilted his head to look at it and had no plans to pick it up.
But the other party was not happy with each other, so they stopped and called again and again.
He touched the phone with a sullen face, glanced at the caller ID, and his expression became even worse: “What’s the matter?”
The call came from Shawn, and he only gloated over the misfortune in the afternoon. He called again after only two hours. Brian really couldn’t think of what else Shawn could do other than laugh at him further.
“Why, can’t you come out and have a bachelorette party after you’re divorced? Divorced and can’t come out and have a bachelor party?
“roll.”
He didn’t want to talk to Shawn, so he was going to hang up after scolding, but Shawn on the other end threw a sentence: “By the way, I’m at Charlotte’s bachelor party now. Your ex-wife is a big deal, tonight’s banquet is on the first floor. She has all the drinks included, so there’s a lot of your hard-earned money in it, right?”
Brian frowned, “She didn’t ask me for a penny.”
“…”
This time, it was Shawn’s turn to be shocked. Who in town didn’t know that Charlotte worshipped gold.
When Anita fainted from hypoglycemia, Charlotte happened to be sent to the hospital. Brian asked her what she wanted in return. She said it was 10 million dollars, but before Brian said yes, she said another 100 million dollars.
At that time, I didn’t know who made the short video and posted it on the Internet. Brian’s face turned black on the spot, but the woman was still not satisfied, and suddenly said, “I want you to marry me.”
One hundred million can no longer satisfy Charlotte, she just took a fancy to Brian Morris’s worth.
After three years of marriage, the two have no real name, and everyone in the circle is laughing at Charlotte. Originally, they thought that once the two divorced, Charlotte would have to take hundreds of millions from Brian.
But now what Brian said, she didn’t ask for a penny?
