Chapter 689 I Can Give You Two Billion Dollars
"Two billion. What do you say?"
Sophia was tired of being the peacemaker. She would just let them if they really wanted to get a
divorce. She couldn't stand the scene any more.
"Are you sure you'll give me two billion dollars?" doubted Bella.
"Yes!"
Bella thought about it, "OK. I'll sign the divorce paper right away if you give me the money." Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
"I'm on it. Sit tight."
She could give out five hundred million dollars anytime, but she still needed some time to raise two
billion dollars. Indeed, it wasn't a problem for her. However, it was impossible to withdraw so much
money from the bank at a time. She must inform the bank ahead of time.
Bella and William were getting a divorce but they had kept it from the old Mrs. Lawson. Abbott and
Laura had heard about it, and Abbott had walked the floor in rage.
"Gosh! William has done something so shameful!"
It was known to all that William was easy-going and tolerant. However, he had done something big and
shocked all.
"In a word, things don't work out between them. And I've promised Bella to give her the money."
"We didn't give them a lot but we've assured them a wealthy life. Bella's leaving the family and she
deserves the money! Be kind to her though we once had an issue with her." Abbott nodded.
Sophia couldn't agree more.
Very soon, Sophia had raised two billion dollars. William heard Bella would get that much money by
divorcing him and said in anger, "Sophia, don't be stupid. You can't give her that much money! She
doesn't deserve so much money!"
Sophia couldn't be more furious, "You know what, Uncle William? In fact, I could have saved this great
sum of money if you didn't want a divorce. I could have given this money to you two and I can give you
more. But you insisted getting a divorce! What else can I do?"
"What do I have to do with it?" said William unhappily.
"Seriously? You want people to say Bella has been married into Lawson family for twenty years and
didn't get a penny by divorcing you? You want people to say we are as cold as a marble?"
William was at a loss for words. He hadn't thought of something like that. He just thought it was wrong
to give Bella that much money.
"It's too much. Give her one hundred million dollars. That's enough!"
"People know how rich we are! Uncle William, you don't get a brain to think, but I do!" reminded
Sophia.
William wanted to talk back but chickened out. A long while after, he made up an excuse, "I don't have
a son. It's about the Lawson family. Will you care about that as well? "
"For God's sake, Uncle William, it's a hell of a job for you to set Cathy right and keep her in line. I can't
imagine how much worse it might be if you also got a son!"
William was speechless.
"Just sign your name and finish the procedure. From now on, you are strangers." rushed Sophia.
William glimpsed at Bella and felt awful, but he still signed his name on the paper. So did Bella. Sophia
had followed them during the whole procedure. At last, William got the divorce certificate and Bella got
two billion dollars in the bank account.
Bella was over the moon. She looked at William and said with a triumphant smile, "William, from now
on, we're strangers. Don't ever try to reach me. I'm too good for you now! Good bye!"
Saying it, Bella left. William felt he couldn't be more humiliated. He was one of the Lawsons but he had
only ten million dollars in total, which was far less than two billion. How he wished he had that much
money too! He glanced at Sophia, who had read his mind, and looked away out of fear.
"Uncle William, it's your choice if you want a son, and I can't stop you. But you must marry a good girl
from a decent family. I'll absolutely say no if she marries you for our money only. You hear me?"
warned Sophia.
"OK. I know." said William obediently.
Sophia said nothing else and left. But William cheered up very soon by thinking that he could be free to
hook up with different hot chicks! Honestly speaking, life was still wonderful for him!
Cathy stopped Sophia as soon as she returned to the office.
"You got my parents to divorce! How dare you! Who the hell are you to do that?"
"It was their decision. I had nothing to do with it." said Sophia coldly.
"Stop fooling me! They wouldn't have divorced if you didn't get into it!" Cathy dragged her over and
tried to slap her, but Sophia had seen it coming and avoided it.
"I didn't encourage your father to get a divorce. And it wasn't about me. Your parents divorced and
you're the only one to be blamed! It's all YOUR FAULT!" said Sophia word by word.
"Why did you say it was..." Cathy got the warning from Sophia before she finished speaking. She was
afraid of Sophia. She put down her hand and said, "I hate that look on your face!"
"Get out of my face!"
Sophia didn't feel like talking crap with her.
Instead, she went in the office building. The security guards had been told not to let Cathy in. So, they
had kept an close eye on her, and she didn't seize any chance to sneak in. Finally, she had no choice
but to leave.
It was the day for Chloe's son to be baptized.
All of the celebrities in Sealand came to Pinkerton Thomas family for this big day.
Chloe was wearing a navy blue dress, which had given her the charisma of a well-grown and attractive
woman. She smiled at each one of the guests.
Sophia came in together with Helena.
Chloe looked at them curiously, "Oh, there you are! But where are your dates?"
"You mean we're not as welcomed as our dates?" said Helena unhappily.
Chloe couldn't help it but smiled, "Come on. Don't be silly. I was just curious why you girls came in
together. I thought you would come in with your husbands."
"Probably, they think we'll embarrass them!" sighed Sophia.
Drake happened to hear that when he came in and said discontentedly, "Stop talking nonsense,
Sophia. You know better than anyone else why we didn't show up together!"
"Hundreds of young ladies want to meet you guys in such an occasion. You're married but you're richer
and more charming. Reversely, we're getting old and ugly..." Sophia said on purpose.
