For a moment, Brandon's eyes were full of anger. Blue veins stood out on his forehead.
However, he had been enduring all the time, silently weighing the pros and cons in his heart.
Half of his property was close to three hundred million!
However, once the photos were exposed, it would have a serious negative impact on his image and even affect the company's stock market. The consequences were immeasurable!
In just a few minutes, he had made up his mind.
"Okay! I promise!"
The next second, he saw a large and small figure not far away suddenly.
"Why are you here?" He walked up and asked in confusion.
Hearing this, Alice turned to look in the direction of the voice. When she saw Brandon, she pretended to be surprised and said, "What a coincidence! Hester is going to the playground opposite. I'm about to take him there."
"Then you..."
"Daddy, let's go to the playground!"
As soon as Brandon finished his words, he was interrupted by Hester's joyful cry.
Looking at Hester, who was full of expectation, he couldn't say anything to refuse. He held him in his arms and said gently, "I have something to do now. After I finish it, I will go with you to play, okay?"
At this moment, Alice was overjoyed.
But she still pretended to be a strict mother and scolded in a deep voice, "Hester, you can't be so ignorant. Dad has something to do. I can go with you."
The short sentence fully showed her thoughtfulness.
The guilt in Brandon's heart deepened.
He had been absent from Hester's childhood for three years
He would not be absent again!
"It's okay. It's not a big deal. Just wait for me."
Ruby looked coldly at the happy and harmonious scene of the three of them in the distance. She felt a dull pain in her heart.
They had been married for five years.
At the end of their marriage, he still bothered to perform such a big play for her.
What did he want to tell her?
Would his life only be sweeter after divorce?
"Mr. Brandon, you have plenty of time to show affection. The Civil Affairs Bureau is about to get off work." Ruby reminded him coldly.
Her words enraged him even angrier.
He hated people who spoke with sarcasm the most!
Ruby was not like this before!
She was gentle, considerate, and obedient. She never did anything against his will!
Now
She played a good wife for five years. She finally gave up pretending!
"Okay!" Brandon shouted.
Before coming here, he specially consulted the lawyer about the property division. The lawyer's answer was simple.
An equal distribution of marital assets is the best outcome.
He didn't want to have anything to do with her!
The next second, he decisively took out a bank card from his briefcase and threw it to Ruby. "Here's the 290 million you asked for. Not a penny less!"
How could he get so much money in such a short time?
However, before Ruby could ask him the question in her heart, she heard the cold voice again, "It's like I hired a nanny for five years. It's a little expensive, but it's okay."
A nanny?
It turned out that in his heart, what she had done in the past five years was nothing more than what a nanny should do.
At this moment, Ruby even faintly heard the sound of something breaking in her heart.
She picked up the bank card expressionlessly, stood up, and said lightly, "Let's hurry up."
Brandon nodded and walked straight forward.
But Alice was unhappy.
Two hundred and ninety million!
Did he give it to others?
What kind of guarantee would she and her child's life in the future?
A sharp light flashed through her sparkling eyes. The next second, she caught up and blocked her way. "Miss Ruby, it's all my fault. It has nothing to do with Brandon. I'm sorry."
"Get out of my way."
Ruby didn't even bother to look at her. She knew what kind of person Alice was!
Would she apologize to her?
She was putting on an act in front of Brandon!
Ruby was about to leave. Unexpectedly, Alice suddenly knelt in front of her, and hot tears slipped out of her eyes. She couldn't help sobbing, "It's not easy for Brandon. It's all my fault. Can you don't do this to him?"
"What did I do to Brandon?"
Hearing that, Ruby's eyes froze. "I'm afraid she was talking about the money."
After all, she did it for money.
Suddenly, she raised her eyes and looked at the man not far away. "Mr. Brandon, please take care of your woman."
At this moment, he frowned even more tightly.
He didn't like her to compromise and ignore her dignity in front of the child!
"Stop it. Get up." He said coldly.
Alice realized that what she had done was too stupid until now!
She immediately stood straight. At this moment, she didn't dare to look straight into Brandon's disgusted eyes. She lowered her head and whispered, "I'm sorry. I don't want you to divorce because of me."
"You think too much."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Ruby followed him quickly.
They walked into the Civil Affairs Bureau one after the other to go through the divorce procedure.
Divorce was much easier than marriage. They just needed to hand over the signed divorce agreement and related documents to the staff. Soon they got their divorce certificates.
When Ruby walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, she had mixed feelings.
She had sworn to herself that the man who would accompany her all the time would become her ex-husband. Everything was unreal.
At this moment, she suddenly saw a familiar figure in the distance.
Ryan?
Ruby walked up quickly and asked in confusion, "Why are you here?"
However, Ryan didn't answer her question. He just opened his arms and held her tightly in his arms. "Congratulations on your return to being single and getting out of the hard life."
Feeling his strong embrace, Ruby could not help but cry.
She knew it without thinking.
It must be because her father was afraid that she would have no one to rely on after a divorce, so he asked Ryan to pick her up.
At this moment, Ruby felt guiltier about her father.
She nestled in his arms for a long time. Then she choked with sobs and asked, "Is my father in good health?"
"He has always been in good health," Ryan answered honestly.
However, they didn't know that Brandon saw them hug each other tightly in the distance.
No wonder!
No wonder Ruby would divorce him so resolutely!
It turned out that she had already found the next one!
Good!
