Chapter 146: A Satisfying Payback
Robert indeed sent a lawyer to the Davis household to discuss the terms of divorce with Brianna.
Brianna realized that this time, Robert was serious. After all, Emily, the younger and prettier mistress, had all the qualities Brianna could no longer compete with.
However, Brianna demanded 20 million and a villa as compensation before she would agree to the divorce.
Robert, of course, refused. Twenty million was a significant amount, especially during an economic crisis, and it was crucial for Davis Group’s survival.
As a result, the lawyer left that day without reaching an agreement with Brianna, frustrated and empty-handed.
Ella happened to see the lawyer leaving as she arrived home, her gaze darkening. So, Robert couldn’t wait to start divorce proceedings with Brianna? It didn’t surprise her, though; everything was falling into place according to her plan. Brianna’s days were only going to get worse.
When Ella stepped into the hall, she saw Brianna’s bruised and swollen face. Brianna’s expression was twisted with bitterness as she snarled, "That wench has two houses worth nearly ten million! I’m the rightful wife, and I’m only asking for twenty million and a villa, yet he won’t agree! Ha..."
Hannah’s expression darkened as she noticed Ella’s return.
Ella walked over, feigning ignorance as she looked at Brianna. "Auntie, what happened to your face? Whoever did this must have been really vicious."
Brianna’s anger flared even more at the reminder.
Ella had stayed home the previous night, but Brianna had hidden in her room, avoiding everyone. Now, seeing Brianna’s battered face up close, Ella felt a strange mix of horror and satisfaction. Robert was indeed ruthless; no matter how overbearing Brianna had been, she had still been his wife for over a decade. Yet, he had beaten her so brutally.
