Xia Yuwei’s heart skipped a beat and she suddenly looked down, hiding the trace of fear and conflict in her eyes.
She was not dumb and knew that with Mo family’s power and wealth, she would definitely not be able to win against them in court. Furthermore, once they went to court, it would probably take another six months before their marriage was dissolved. She was afraid that they would uncover some major secrets during this period. Once her secret was discovered, she would not be able to take a single cent from him but might instead be beaten to death or to the point of paralysis by that man in a fit of rage.
Forget it, she would give in to him. It was impossible to fight against such odds.
“Why don’t you tell me then, how much are you willing to give?” Xia Yuwei asked and tried her best to remain calm. If she showed any signs of weakness right now, he would definitely take advantage of her.
Mo Yixuan pursed his cold lips tightly and struggled to rein in his temper. He turned around and pulled out a similar divorce agreement from the briefcase he brought in earlier.
He flung it at her.
The thick stack of papers landed on her face.
Xia Yuwei hastily tried to dodge but she was too late and her face was scratched by several pieces of paper.
She picked up that divorce agreement and hurriedly browsed through it. She didn’t even bother looking at the contents in the first few pages and even ignored the part about her child’s custody and visitation rights. She flipped directly to the last page to check the figure written on it.
Her eyes widened in disbelief.
“Only 15 million dollars?”
That was far too little!
The corners of Mo Yixuan’s mouth twitched and he looked at her in disdain.
“Take it or leave it! If not for the fact that you’re the mother of my child, I would not have given you a single cent.” This woman was vain, lazy, and selfish. He must have been blind to marry her.
Xia Yuwei fell onto the sofa dejectedly. She kept blinking her watery eyes that revealed her inner conflict.
She had expected that he wouldn’t be willing to give her 100 million dollars but she thought she would at least be able to get 30 million from this marriage. The figure she saw was far below her expectations but she knew that this man would not waver once he made his decision and also knew that it would be impossible to get any more money out of him.
If she did not agree to a divorce now and continued to dally, she would not be able to get a single cent once she discovered her secret.
Fine, she would sign. This 15 million, together with those pieces of jewelry and the house he bought for her family after she gave birth, the car and so on would roughly make up 30 million dollars’ worth of assets. This would be enough for her to live out the rest of her life comfortably.
These assets were worth her while after she wasted more than a year of her youth and suffered under that man.
She dug out a pen from her bag and flipped to the final page to sign her name. Then, she printed her thumbprint on it.
After she was done, she handed the documents to that man.
“Here you go. From now on, we don’t owe each other anything. Let us each mind our own business in the future. I’ll hand the child to you and I hope that you will take good care of him to make him a better person in the future.”
Xia Yuwei said politely and did not even look at the visiting rights clause in the divorce agreement. She only hoped that her secrets would never be revealed in her lifetime and that her son would go on to inherit the Mo family business. Once he inherited the family business, there was no way he would coldly cast out his birth mother, so she would still be able to bask in a luxurious lifestyle in the future.
Xia Yuwei was lost in her fantasy and could not even be bothered to look at that man’s cold and frightening face. She pulled her luggage along and within it were all sorts of valuable pieces of jewelry and other accessories. As for those branded clothes, bags and shoes, she had already sent them off by post in the afternoon.
