Chapter 66
Sabrina was truly exhausted.
Nelson had just finished his work. As he prepared to head over to Breeze Group to see Sabrina, Sabrina's lawyer arrived first.
"Mr. Tucker, my client's demands are simple. If you sign the divorce papers, she will leave without taking any assets.
"But if you refuse to sign, she is entitled to half of your companies, properties, and shares. After all, there isn't a prenuptial agreement. Also, Ms. Wyatt asked me to convey a message.
"If this goes to court, the trending news about you and Ms. Dixon's relationship will serve as evidence of your infidelity during the marriage. This could affect your career and Ms. Dixon's reputation…"
Nelson crossed his legs and rhythmically tapped his fingers on his knees.
After a long while, he said, "Is she threatening me?"
First, it was Eva who had showed up to annoy him. And now it was a divorce lawyer.
Sabrina definitely knew how to handle things with efficiency and style.
"Mr. Tucker, as a reputable man and the future head of Tucker Group, you can't afford a scandal. Hence, it's in your best interest to sign the papers," the lawyer added.
Nelson narrowed his eyes slightly. He could imagine Sabrina instructing the lawyer word for word.
She was a savvy negotiator, after all.
After dismissing the lawyer, Nelson left the office building. Gerald had been waiting for him at the entrance.
When Nelson took his medical records and medication from the hospital previously, he had been to the Ingrams' residence.
Gerald had asked Nelson if he would agree to a divorce if Sabrina requested it.
Gerald had promised to fulfill any conditions for Sabrina's sake.
At that time, Nelson only said he would wait until Sabrina brought it up.
The lawyer from earlier was Jesper Clarke. He was the most well-known divorce lawyer in Slitton.
Gerald was there to get an answer from Nelson.
Nelson, with his coat draped over his arm, looked at Gerald for a long time.
Finally, Nelson said, "Shall we go upstairs to talk?"
"Let's just talk here," Gerald replied.
"Nelson, will you get a divorce?"
"No."
Nelson's immediate answer surprised Gerald. But then Gerald relaxed and smiled.
"She's a captivating person, isn't she?"
Before interacting with Sabrina, she seemed no different from anyone else. She was just another beautiful person in a world full of good-looking people.
But if one interacted with her more frequently, they would realize her inner qualities matched her outward beauty.
She resembled a book that grew more interesting the more one read it.
"Yes," Nelson admitted.
"Was she sad when Pamela revealed her pregnancy?" Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Gerald's question caught Nelson off guard. Nelson had waited for Sabrina's call all night to realize she no longer cared about him. He hadn't even asked if she was upset.
Gerald observed Nelson's facial expression and asked, "You don't know if she's upset? Nelson, I'm very disappointed in you and myself, too."
For the past few days, Gerald had been thinking a lot.
He thought that even if he couldn't love Sabrina, it would still be nice if Nelson could care for and love her.
Nelson did care about her, but not a lot.
If the matter of Pamela's pregnancy had been handled appropriately, the lawyer wouldn't have shown up.
Gerald was disappointed in Nelson for not seizing the opportunity to cherish Sabrina.
As for himself, he felt that he had wasted too many years. He had no career achievements or extraordinary abilities. He watched Sabrina suffer but couldn't take her away from Nelson.
"Nelson, I've given you the chance and have also thought things through. From today onward, we're not friends anymore. I'll protect her in my own way," Gerald said with determination.
He continued, "Don't worry. I'll treat her well and won't let you have any leverage to hurt her. I can guarantee that."
