Too Rich to Divorce のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

It was night when the plane landed. Bresenia was experiencing the chill of late fall as it was already late October. So, Anthony pulled his coat around him and bade Rachel goodbye before driving home.They'd talked about the money coming into his account during the flight, so they didn't bother wasting time with niceties as they went their separate ways. …It was already 8 p.m. when he got home. Linda and her son weren't there, so it was highly likely that they were meeting up with that man.Still, Anthony didn't care. Those two were irrelevant to him now. So, he washed himself up and went into his bedroom. He hadn't had a break ever since he first got on the plane today, and he had boarded two flights in one day, which took a lot out of him. He was out cold the second his head hit the pillow.…He woke up the next morning and saw Linda in the living room. To his surprise, she didn't cause a scene. So, he let her be. After getting ready, he took Timothy out as usual. He

It was still early when Anthony left the firm. He was in no hurry to pick Timothy up, so he called his mother. "How's everything back home, Mom?"Penelope's tired voice came through. "Nothing much. It's just… your aunt and uncle came again.""What is it this time?""Same old. Money. God, we never asked for anything in return when we helped them." Penelope kept her voice low, as if she didn't want to be overheard. "Your father has been losing sleep. They're his siblings, but now they want to sue him."She let out another weary sigh at that. He gripped the steering wheel tightly. "Give it some time. I'll be back for Grandma's birthday. I'll handle them. You don't need to worry about the money.""Anthony, don't do anything stupid—""Mom, trust me," Anthony interrupted. "I'm not doing anything illegal, and don't tell Dad. Sometimes it's better to let old bonds die. Let him see that for himself over the next few days.""He's had years to do that. He knows what they're really like n

Linda immediately took her phone out and made a call to the first center. "Hi, my son signed up for your fencing lessons, and he just finished his third. Can I get a refund?""I'm sorry, ma'am, but the contract clearly states no refunds after the third lesson. Please go through the terms and conditions. If you've sent your son to three lessons, you should recognize the value of the classes weex're offering."She was stunned by the polite but swift refusal. Her eyes were blank as she stared at the contracts dumbly. Then, she called the other two centers and got the same answers. All the strength was drained out of her upon their refusal. Her face was stark white as she stood beside the dining table, her phone slowly sliding down her grip and onto the table. Still, the soft thud snapped her out of her stupor. She immediately exploded and bellowed, "And here I was, thinking I should reconsider the divorce and stay married to you! I can't believe you did this to me!"She thought A

Linda raised her head and closed her eyes, praying for patience. She tried to slow down her breathing and calm her heart. Anthony wasn't about to let this opportunity slip so easily. Thus, he switched lanes and pressed on the offensive, making sure that his voice rang with authority with his every word. "Tim's only in first grade. He's a blank canvas right now. So, now is the perfect time for him to learn new hobbies. "If you refuse, he might end up resenting you for it. Don't say I didn't warn you."Linda couldn't even string together a coherent sentence right now. She was that pissed. When she turned to her son, she was dismayed to find that the boy's cheeks were puffed up in anger. He looked upset. Her face turned puce before turning white with fury as tears welled in her eyes. She was close to crying, but most of it was due to fury and frustration.After a long while, she finally hissed, "Don't say such things when Tim's around. I can't believe you'd do this.""Oh, loo

Anthony asked in curiosity, "You know Darius Renovation Pt. Ltd?" He didn't look too pleased, assuming that Rachel had investigated him.Meanwhile, Rachel wasn't fazed by his displeasure. Instead, she smiled. "You asked me to look into Chase yesterday, so this is just part of my job. His longtime client is Darius Renovation Pt. Ltd. That's why I know the ins and outs between them. Is there more to the story?"She might be smiling, but she was ranting inside. She couldn't help but wonder just what kind of secret Anthony was keeping for him to be so cagey and paranoid."We'll talk after I purchase Chase's company. You'll find out in time." Anthony stopped second-guessing her. He thought, 'She's a smart woman, and a capable one, too.'Then, he went back to business, asking, "How will you start the talks with Chase?""I'm doing the negotiation?" Rachel blurted, somewhat surprised. She wasn't expecting him to ask this of her. "I know you're rich, but you can't just ask one person t
