I Want a Divorce by Abigail Quinn

“Then 17 million dollars, deal. I’m short of money.” Hailey immediately made up her mind and turned

her gaze to Oliver. She asked, “Oliver, what do you think?”

Although she asked Oliver for his opinion, she had said she needed 17 million dollars in cash. Oliver

definitely would not have any objection and just nodded.

Gunther also simply wrote a cash cheque for 17 million dollars. After passing the cheque to Hailey, he

glanced at Oliver. “Hailey, Collin called me and said he had set the engagement date for you and

Stephen on the 18th of next month. The Fox family and the Hanson family are both famous and

prestigious families. You should be cautious about everything you say. and do. You can no longer be

like a little girl without scruples!”

Oliver’s heart skipped a beat. Gunther’s words were very much a “warning” to Oliver.

Hailey was originally happy, but her expression instantly became cold when she heard Gunther’s

words. Then, she turned her head and looked out of the window silently.

When they arrived at the mansion of the Fox family, Gunther ordered the driver, “You take Oliver to

True Treasure.”

Oliver immediately refused and said, “No need. I’ll just go out and get a ride there myself.”

“Well, thank you for your hard work today. Keep up the good work! The Fox family will never treat our

subordinates badly.” Gunther did not force him.

But what Gunther said made Oliver obviously feel that Gunther was “reminding” Oliver that Oliver was

just a “subordinate” of the Fox family, and Oliver’s identity was very different from Hailey’s. Gunther

was implying to Oliver that he should not have wishful thinking about Hailey.

When Oliver got out of the car, Hailey did not look back.

Chapter 20

After leaving the mansion area in Navarre Peninsula, Oliver stopped a taxi and went to the store. He

was at a loss along the way. It seemed that he felt uncomfortable and somewhat disappointed. Then he

suddenly realized something again and thought, “What’s wrong with me? Did I really take a fancy to

Hailey?”

Whether it was true that he took a fancy to Hailey, he kept trying to calm his restless heart. “Wasn’t

Isabel enough to teach me a lesson?” he asked himself.

Oliver thought about Yvonne in the store. She unprecedentedly confessed her love to him last night

after knowing he had a mansion worth over 2 million dollars. It reminded him again of the materialistic

relationship between him and Isabel.

“If I become poor later, will Yvonne throw me away like trash as Isabel? There’s a high probability that

she will,” he answered his own question.

The more Oliver thought about it, the more painful he felt. He went back to the store silently.

The five girls in the store kept asking him a bunch of questions enthusiastically in concern, especially

Yvonne. Her expression was full of tender affection, and Oliver even could see an “I love you” written

on her forehead.

If it was yesterday and before, Oliver might still be smug. But that day, he felt impervious to desires and

passions.

There were no customers in the store all afternoon. They held to pass the time and got off work at 5:30

p.m.

Yvonne locked the store door and wanted to go with Oliver, but Oliver did not wait for her and just drove

his car away.

Yvonne was a little embarrassed. She picked up her phone and called Oliver, but the voice came from

the system. “Sorry, the number you dialed is unreachable…”

She was upset and unhappy.

On the way back, Oliver received a call from Joanna. “Oliver, Dad wants to have oatmeal. I’m going to

the restaurant to buy it. It might be late to get home. Don’t worry. I have something to ask for your

help.”

Oliver complained, “I’m your brother. Why are you so polite to me? What is it?”

Joanna laughed rarely and said, “Oliver, my friend brought me something in the private room 09 of

Victoria Steakhouse. Go and get it for me.”

“Okay,” Oliver agreed at once. He guessed that Joanna had bought something online or with the help

of friends and

classmates.

“I should find time to take her to buy some good clothes. Even if I’ve transferred 200 thousand dollars

to her, she won’t be willing to use it,” he thought.

Victoria Steakhouse was located in Victoria Square. Oliver knew it was a relatively high-end shopping

and dining area in the city. He had been there before but had never entered the restaurant.

After parking in the underground garage of the square, Oliver took an elevator upstairs. Victoria

Steakhouse was on the eighth floor.

The entire eighth floor was dedicated to catering, while Victoria Steakhouse had the largest area,

accounting for about one-fifth of the total area.

The signboard of Victoria Steakhouse was very obvious. There were two young waitresses in

restaurant uniforms at the door, who opened the door when guests went there and said sweetly,

“Welcome!”

Oliver said he had an appointment in private room 09, and one of the girls immediately led him in

respectfully.

The so-called private room was a small room about 60 square feet. The waitress pulled the curtain and

invited him in.

A girl with black and shoulder-length hair was sitting in the small room. When she heard Oliver coming

inside, she looked up at him.

The girl was around 25 years old, and her appearance was very stunning. She almost had the same

level of beauty as Hailey. Oliver looked at her while sitting down. He did not see anything on the table

or next to her. He wondered, “What did Joanna ask her to bring?”

Before Oliver could ask, the girl spoke first. “Your name is Oliver, right? Then I’ll go straight to the

point!”
