In pain, Harry grabbed his finger and exclaimed, “How dare you!”
Blake looked at him with a cold and intimidating gaze. “Be careful how you speak. I have a bad temper and don’t like it when people point at my daughter and me.”
Harry was shocked and dared not speak. He could only turn his head in frustration and shout at Rebecca, “Who are they?”
Rebecca frowned and quickly apologized to Blake, then hugged Lilly.
“I’m sorry, I have some family matters to attend to.”
Blake noticed that Lilly didn’t want to leave, so he crossed his legs and lazily leaned against the back of the sofa, humming.
Rebecca pulled Harry aside and angrily asked,
“Are you done with your theatrics? They are my friends!”
This person was Rebecca’s husband.
Harry sneered, “Friends? I think he’s your cheating lover, right? I knew something was up when you suddenly became so confident. So you’ve found a new partner. Do you have any shame?”
Rebecca was furious because his words were offensive.
“Mind your words,” Rebecca said coldly, not paying attention to him, turning around to leave.
Unexpectedly, Harry intercepted her path and inquired, “Hold on, have you sold the house?!”
Rebecca maintained a stoic expression and replied, “It’s my own property. Whether I choose to sell it or not is my prerogative. What’s the matter with you?”
Harry appeared enraged and retorted in a harsh tone, “How is it not my concern? That house is also mine!”
Rebecca crossed her arms and regarded him with a regal and disdainful gaze. “Yours? Do you have any evidence? Did you contribute to the down payment or the monthly installments? Or did you contribute to the family’s living expenses?”
Harry was so infuriated that he almost spat blood.
Meanwhile, on the sofa, Blake and Lilly finished their ice cream.
Blake picked up a slice of seedless watermelon and offered it to Lilly. They observed Rebecca and her husband quarreling while enjoying the watermelon.
Blake exclaimed, “Hmph!”
Lilly chimed in, “Hmph!”
The unscrupulous father and daughter savored their melons and watched the spectacle.
Harry seethed with anger, but he had no choice but to endure it.
He reached out his hands and said, “Fine, I won’t argue with you! You want to provoke me, and you sold the house. I’m speechless. You didn’t even discuss such a big decision with me. Aren’t you worried about people taking advantage of you? And did you buy a villa? Give me the key.”
Rebecca crossed her arms and said loudly, “Why should I give it to you? Get out of here! Don’t you enjoy living in the countryside? Then go ahead!”
“I made it clear to you beforehand that my money and my house have nothing to do with you!”
At that moment, Elliot’s voice arrived before she did, “This is the joint property of the couple! How can it not be related? Whether it’s the house or the money, half of it belongs to my son!”
Elliot glared at her angrily. She was furious.
They had been waiting in the countryside for so long, but Rebecca didn’t return and asked them to go back to town. Instead, she packed up their things and sent them back!
She even bought a villa!
She wouldn’t listen to them.
It was driving her crazy!
“I’m tired and don’t want to argue with you anymore! Give us the keys. I want to go back and rest!” said Elliot, frustrated.
Rebecca pushed Elliot’s hand away, sneering, “Want to enter my house? Then beg me!”
With disdain, Rebecca returned to her seat and saw that they were enjoying the spectacle.
Lilly even applauded and said, “Aunty Rebecca is so cool.”
“We should leave now!” Looking unhappy, Rebecca packed her computer into her bag, saying, “My good mood has been ruined.”
Blake stood up and effortlessly picked up Lilly, holding her in his arms with one hand.
Seeing that Rebecca was about to leave, Harry seemed embarrassed and said fiercely, “Fine! You’re doing great! If you walk out of here today, I’ll divorce you immediately!”
Rebecca didn’t turn her head, picked up her computer bag, paid the bill, and left.
Harry was speechless. He felt very embarrassed.
He had to pretend to be tough and leave.
Elliot was even angrier, her blood pressure rising and her head buzzing.
“Divorce, divorce her immediately!” Elliot shouted in anger.
Harry was very agitated, “She’s been the one earning money all these years. If we divorce, I won’t get anything!”
But unexpectedly, Elliot said, “How is that possible? I’ve asked the lawyer. Any income during the marriage, whether you earned it or she did, all belongs to the joint property of the couple.”
Elliot smiled triumphantly and said, “Even if you haven’t earned a dollar since getting married, you can still get half of whatever she earns! That’s the law.”
So, it didn’t matter if she bought a villa or not. It still had to be divided.
Harry suddenly felt relieved and said, “Really? You’ve asked about it?”
Elliot replied, “Of course!”
Harry breathed a sigh of relief, saying, “That’s good then.”
He didn’t dare to divorce after their argument. He knew he had been at a disadvantage all these years because he hadn’t earned a dollar.
He was afraid he wouldn’t get anything if they divorced.
What about now?
Harry sneered, “I’ll sue for divorce now and see how she regrets it and begs me later!”
After she cried enough, he would show her mercy and remarry her.
Lilly, Blake, and Rebecca walked down the street, and Lilly curiously asked, “Aunty, are you also getting a divorce?”
Lilly couldn’t understand why adults liked to get divorced so much.
Rebecca shook her head and then nodded, “Maybe.”
Her hesitation was mainly for the sake of the child… As for the joint property?
She had asked about it before. Indeed, if they divorced, the money she earned during the marriage would be considered joint property and split equally between them.
Regardless of the situation, any income earned during the marriage would be considered joint property and split equally. This rule was very frustrating.
However, they overlooked a very important thing.
Lilly was even more puzzled and asked, “Aunty Rebecca, aren’t you afraid that your husband will divorce you?”
Rebecca laughed, “Firstly, he wouldn’t dare. Secondly, even if he does, I’m not afraid.”
Firstly, his family would never let her go. After all, Harry was such a useless person. If she left him, he would have no other options besides relying on his parents.
And Elliot also knew this, so she wouldn’t let go of Rebecca and held onto her tightly.
