Secondly, she was confident that he wouldn’t get a dollar even if they divorced!
Lilly and Blake also had to go home. Lilly waved goodbye to Rebecca and said, “Goodbye, Aunty Rebecca. Keep up the good work, fight!”
As soon as Rebecca returned home, she received a call from a lawyer who informed her that her husband had filed for divorce and requested an immediate discussion on property distribution.
“There is no room for discussion.” Rebecca was looking at herself in the mirror, intending to remove her makeup, but instead picked up her lipstick and applied a bold and stylish red shade.
The lawyer said, “I have also heard from your husband about the family income during your marriage. Ms. Fisher, I must remind you that although you earned money during your marriage, your husband still has the right to claim half of the property, including the villa you just bought.”
Rebecca smiled as she leisurely replied, “My dear, your client must not have told you that the account where my writing fees are deposited belongs to my mother.”
“We have been married for so many years. Who said that I earned all the money? What skills does a woman like me have? My parents gave me all that money.”
“The money from my parents doesn’t count as joint property!”
“He can go ahead and get a divorce. I’ll go over there now.”
After speaking, Rebecca hung up the phone.
On the other end, Harry was dumbfounded, listening on the loudspeaker.
Elliot anxiously asked, “What does that mean? Why isn’t it joint property?”
The lawyer awkwardly replied, “Was money transferred from your mother-in-law’s account to yours before?”
Harry replied, “Yes.”
When Rebecca got married, she signed a written contract with a website.
However, the contract was too restrictive and explicitly tied Rebecca’s identity card to the website.
It meant Rebecca couldn’t write for other websites without their permission.
Rebecca had no choice but to secretly use her mother’s identity card to register on the current website and create a new pen name to continue writing step by step.
Later, she held her mother’s account and transferred money from it.
The lawyer said, “There’s nothing you can do. Your wife registered under her mother’s name, and the royalties were deposited into her mother’s account. If you want to claim the money, it belongs to her mother. Giving it to you is considered a gift and has nothing to do with you.”
They were astonished!
Elliot exclaimed with excitement, “But she earned the money! Not her mother! They are lying!”
The lawyer inquired, “Do you have any evidence to support your claim? Frankly speaking, if your wife and mother-in-law have the same story, you have no way to prove anything.”
Having said that, the lawyer didn’t wait for their response and left immediately.
Elliot trembled and said, “This is unjust… It’s not fair!”
With such a large sum of money, why didn’t they receive their share?
Did they have to return and plead with Rebecca?
No, never! She was not going to ask her!
Rebecca received the lawsuit and agreed to the divorce.
What about Rebecca’s mother?
She had always been a fan of Rebecca and was her biggest supporter when it came to her novels.
She knew all the plotlines and could even remember them better than Rebecca herself.
Rebecca had given her mother her old computer before. In front of the notaries, her mother wrote a new chapter following Rebecca’s latest book.
Rebecca silently cheered for her mother secretly. She was incredibly talented.
With all the evidence, it was proven that Rebecca’s mother wrote the books and gave the money to her daughter out of sympathy.
The villa was registered under Rebecca’s name and was a gift from her parents, with no
connection to Harry.
Harry knew they had lost even before the trial and would not receive any money.
Oh, wait. They could still get their share.
The unscrupulous website that Rebecca used to work for still paid around two dollars per month. It amounted to more than 200 dollars in total after all these years, and Rebecca had never used it.
So they would receive a total of 105 dollars.
But what could they do with 105 dollars?
Rebecca was a wealthy woman with billions of savings and a villa. And she was still making money.
If they got divorced, they would lose a lot. They had no job and no income. Even if they found work, they would not earn much.
And they could not even get custody of the child.
When it came to visitation rights, it was up to Rebecca.
When the child grew up and learned that their father was such a person, they would not care for him in his old age.
Harry immediately regretted his actions and knelt before her.
“Darling, I was wrong. I was just angry at the time and never thought about divorcing you… I still love you very much.”
Elliot felt embarrassed and said, “Rebecca, it is my fault. I’m just getting old and confused. I encouraged him to file for divorce, but he never really agreed to it.”
Elliot was trying to take all the blame.
When Rebecca relented, they withdrew the lawsuit and decided not to divorce.
As a married couple with children, they would inevitably have disagreements, but they would make up and move on.
Harry would have to say nice things to her more often in the future.
However, unexpectedly, Rebecca put on her bag and high heels, walking like a powerful queen.
“Just wait for the court hearing!” she declared.
“Oh, by the way, I forgot that my children’s watches have recording functions. If you say anything secretly to them, I can cancel your visitation rights.”
Rebecca walked away, leaving Harry and Elliot both filled with regret.
After a while, Rebecca excitedly called Lilly and told her about these things.
The two of them, one in her twenties and the other only four years old, chatted for a long time as if they were close friends.
Rebecca also bought a lot of gifts to send to the Crawford family to show her gratitude.
Lilly smiled and said, “Okay, bye, Aunty Rebecca.”
After hanging up the phone, Lilly suddenly felt she had understood the meaning of what her daddy had said. Right now, she was pleased.
Pablo said on the side, “Rebecca has changed a lot.”
After all, seeing a ghost with her own eyes could be a huge shock.
Lilly nodded and said, “Yeah, she is fearless!”
Pablo sneered, “Are you happy now? But you won’t be for long because you’re going to kindergarten soon.”
