The Year I Was the Other Woman To Myself novel Chapter 747

Marin didn't actually possess that kind of ruthless mindset; she just wanted a divorce and to escape the man who sickened her. Her tech-oriented brain was, admittedly, a bit too straightforward.

Ellison obviously thought the same, so when he saw the asset division agreement, his polished executive image completely shattered. He pointed at Marin and roared.

“I finally see your true colors today! I didn't expect you to be such a greedy woman! Let me tell you, you won't get a single penny from me! The company is mine, the stock funds are mine, and the real estate is mine! If you walk away with nothing, I might toss you a few hundred grand to help you transition, but demanding this much? Absolutely impossible!”

Marin looked at the hysterical Ellison. It was as if she were seeing him clearly for the very first time.

“We founded the company together. I handled the tech, you handled the management. We agreed from the start that no matter how big the business got, it would belong to both of us. You can't possibly ignore everything I've sacrificed for this company over the years, and now you have the nerve to claim it's all yours? Ellison, I'm not greedy, but you are truly shameless.”

“Oh, please. At best, you're just an employee. When have you ever seen an employee split company equity with the boss?”

“So in your eyes, I'm just a regular employee?”

“Marin, ask yourself, aside from that one time I cheated, have I ever treated you badly?”

Penelope couldn't listen to this garbage anymore. This was a divorce negotiation, not a couples therapy session.

She tapped the table and looked up at Ellison.

“Mr. Jeffries, I highly suggest you read this agreement very carefully. Marin has already made concessions. If you refuse to sign, she can take you to court. You are the at-fault party, and we have concrete evidence of your infidelity. Any judge dividing the assets will undoubtedly lean in Marin's favor. When the dust settles, you might be the one walking away with nothing.”

That struck Ellison's absolute weak spot. He glared at Penelope, his jaw clenched tight enough to grind his teeth to dust. But he wasn't ignorant of the law, and he knew she was right.
