“I’m tired and don’t want to argue with you anymore! Give us the keys. I want to return and rest!” said Elliot, frustrated.
Rebecca pushed Elliot’s hand away, sneering, “Want to enter my house? Beg me then!”
With disdain, Rebecca returned to her seat and saw they were enjoying the show.
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 had 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 embarra*sed and said fiercely, “Fine! You’re doing great! If you walk out here today, I’ll divorce you immediately!”
Rebecca did not turn her head, picked up her computer bag, paid the bill, and left.
Harry was speechless. He was very embarra*sed.
He had to pretend to be tough and leave.
Elliot was even angry, her blood pressure rising and her head buzzing.
“Divorce, divorce her immediately!” Elliot shouted in anger.
Harry was very agitated, “It’s been her 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 was fine whether she bought a villa or not. It still had to be divided.
Harry was suddenly 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 did not dare to divorce after their quarrel. He knew he had been the underdog all these years because he had not earned a dollar.
He was afraid he would not 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 mercy to her and remarry her.
Lilly, Blake, and Rebecca walked on the street, and Lilly curiously asked, “Aunty, are you also getting a divorce?”
Lilly could not 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 dared not to. 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 dared not let go of Rebecca and held onto her tightly.
Secondly, she was confident he would not get a dollar even if they divorced!
Lilly and Blake also had to return home. Lilly waved goodbye to Rebecca and said, “Goodbye, Aunty Rebecca. Keep up the good work, fighting!”
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 put on a bold and stylish red lip.
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 take half of the property, including the villa you just bought.”
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 take half of the property, including the villa you just bought.”
Rebecca smiled as she leisurely replied, “My dear 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 get a divorce. I’ll go over there now.”
After speaking, Rebecca hung up the phone.
On the other end, Harry was dumbfounded, listening over 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 could not 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, he 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 authenticate the money, it belongs to her mother. Giving it to you is considered a gift and has nothing to do with you.”
They were dumbfounded!
Elliot exclaimed excitedly, “But she earned money! Not her mother! They are lying!”
The lawyer asked, “Do you have any evidence to prove it? To be blunt, if your wife and mother-in-law tell the same story, you have no way to prove anything.”
After saying that, the lawyer did not wait for their answer and left directly.
Elliot trembled and said, “This is unfair… It’s not fair!”
With so much money, how come they did not get their share?
Did they have to go back and beg Rebecca?
No, never! She was not going to ask her!
Rebecca had received the lawsuit and agreed to divorce.
What about Rebecca’s mother?
She had always been a fan of Rebecca and was her top novel supporter.
She knew all the plotlines and could even remember them better than Rebecca.
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 so amazing.
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 get a penny.
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 was more than 200 dollars in total after all these years, and Rebecca had never used it.
So they would get 105 dollars in total.
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 went to 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 knew 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 embarra*sed 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 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 in 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 girlfriends.
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 found 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 unafraid of difficulties!”
Pablo sneered, “Are you happy now? But you won’t be long because you’re going to kindergarten soon.”
