Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 590

Old Fourth Cecil quickly reached out for the check and muttered greedily, “That’s fine, that’s fine. Twenty million is enough.”

However, Lucy took a step back in advance and avoided his hand before he could reach the check.

Old Fourth was stunned.

Then, he heard Lucy say word by word, “If you want this money, I’ll give it to you, but under one condition.”

The man immediately frowned in displeasure.

“Nonsense. I’m your father. Why are you talking about conditions if your dad is asking you for money?”

Lucy almost laughed in anger.

He had been thinking of colluding with outsiders to bully her back at the bar, but now he was rushing up to say that he was her father?

She did not know how he turned out to be so shameless!

She did not want to bother talking nonsense with him and said directly. “Take the money and divorce my mother. Otherwise, I’d rather burn all this money than give you a single penny.”

Old Fourth was completely shocked at her words.

In fact, several years ago, Lucy’s mother had already filed for divorce.

However, Old Fourth Cecil was dead set against it at that time, and the court could only ask the two to mediate in private. In the end, they did not divorce because the man was unwilling.

In the years that followed, there were several more arguments, but Old Fourth refused every time.

Lucy knew that if she wanted to rid her mother and her of this scoundrel completely, the only way was to get them divorced.

However, Old Fourth knew that Lucy was famous now and was basically a money tree.

As long as he held on to Lucy’s mother, he could hold on to her. How could he agree easily to a divorce?

Therefore, she could only come up with this lucrative solution to force him to divorce.

Sure enough, when Old Fourth heard her words, his face immediately darkened.

He looked at Lucy and smiled coldly. “In your dreams. Your mother and I have been married for more than ten years. I never agreed to the divorce a few years ago, but you’re telling me to get divorced now? Hah, do you think I’m stupid? Or are you the stupid one?”

Lucy knew he would say this and was not anxious. She simply put the check away slowly and carefully.

Then, she said in a flat tone. “If you say so, I can’t do anything about it. In any case, if you don’t agree to the divorce, then you won’t get the money. I know you have many methods. You can try and see if I’ll give in to you out of fear.”

She had had enough!

She was fed up with the perpetual dark and fearful days.

She thought about it clearly.

Her mother’s operation was very promising. As long as the news from Nell’s side was true, her mom would be able to have her surgery soon.

At that time, Old Fourth would want to expose her past or use his identity as her adoptive father to smear her name.

He would ruin her reputation, slander her, or something else.

Then let him be!

When the time came, she could take her mother abroad or find a remote place to hide and live. Even if she left the spotlight, her mother and she would still be able to live just as well.

Old Fourth saw that she seemed determined to have him divorce with her mother this time, and immediately panicked.

“Lucy Katz! You can’t do this. I’m your adoptive father. Where’s the sense in forcing your own adoptive father to divorce your mother?”

Lucy said coldly, “I already gave you a choice. You were the one who refused.”

After a pause, she added. “It’s getting late. Mr. Cecil, you should leave now, or I’ll really have to call security.”

Old Fourth Cecil was slightly pale. He glared angrily at Lucy as if he could not wait to gouge the flesh from her body.

“Y-You don’t have to threaten me. I’m telling you, if you really force my hand, I’ll go to the media to expose you. At that time, you won’t be able to earn a single penny. How will you take care of your mother…”

Lucy did not have the patience to listen to him any longer, and pulled out her phone to call the property management.

The property management was really useless. What did she pay so much for each month?

“Fine! Fifty million it is, but you have to go through the divorce formalities with my mother immediately. I’ll give you the money when you’re done with the paperwork.”

How shrewd was Old Fourth Cecil?

It only took a second to find the loophole in her words.

He immediately shook his head solemnly and said, “No, who knows if you’ll cheat? What if I get divorced but you don’t pay me?”

Lucy frowned and looked at him in disdain.

“Do you think everyone is as shameless as you?”

Old Fourth choked.

However, at this point, he could not afford to lose his temper.

He pondered and suddenly suggested, “How about this. Why don’t you give me a portion first so I can rest assured that you won’t break your promise, and I’ll go with you to the Civil Affairs Bureau with you to sign the paperwork? In any case, even if we have to go through the formalities, we have to wait until tomorrow at the earliest, right? Give me some now.”

Lucy laughed out coldly. “Old Fourth Cecil, you’re really shameless.”

Despite saying that, in order to send him away first, she pulled out a bank card from her bag and threw it at him.

“Here’s a sum of money you can take first. As long as you really come to sign it tomorrow, you won’t lose a single penny.”

Old Fourth took the bank card and swallowed his saliva, not even paying attention to what Lucy was saying.

He just looked straight at the card and asked, “How much money is in this?”

Lucy was disgusted at his appearance and said impatiently, “Two hundred thousand.”

Old Fourth immediately stared with wide eyes.

“What? Two hundred thousand? You’re sending me away with just two hundred thousand?”

Lucy looked at him coldly and took a wary step back.
