The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna)

Chapter 664 Lola could not bear to listen to Evan any longer. “I don’t see any opportunity!” she said adamantly.

“Lola, how can you not see such a great opportunity? Bruce has become mentally disabled. Do you understand what that means?” Evan asked, pressing on.

Impatiently, Lola forcefully pushed his hand away. “Can you stop causing trouble? What does his mental disability have to do with me? You can do whatever you want but do not involve me. | must take care of my health and bear your little brother.” Taken aback by her words, Evan quickly embraced her waist, gently coaxing her. “Lola, what's wrong? Everything was fine, why are you angry again? Why are you saying such hurtful words? | promised you we'll have a child together.” Lola struggled to break free from his embrace and questioned, “Huh, how do | know when you'll have a child with me? I'm already 32 years old this year, and it'll be too late if | do not have a child soon. Liam has already said he’s willing to undergo an IVF with me. | cannot wait anymore. | must get pregnant this year!” Evan furrowed his brow and asked, “Lola, you love me. How can you have a child with Liam?” “Stop joking. I'm already your stepmother!” Lola retorted.

“Darling, can you stop being angry? Let's have a child today? Can we not use protection? Let's aim for a direct hit,” Evan suggested.

“Just leave me alone. I'm getting annoyed...” Lola replied.

“Sweetheart, what's wrong?” Evan tightly held her and said, “I know I've been neglecting you these past few days, and you're not feeling well. But I'm planning for our future. Consider it. Bruce's assets are worth billions, not to mention the countless jewelry, antiques, and properties. Don’t you want them? Aren't you tempted?” “Just because you want something does not mean you'll get it. Those are Bruce's assets, and you're not his son. Why should you inherit his stuff?” Lola retorted.

A hint of uncontrollable greed appeared in Evan's eyes, and he said with ambition, “My cousin is completely mentally disabled now. As long as we control him, his assets will be ours. Think about it, several billion dollars in assets. Once we get our hands on them, what's the point of us struggling for the rest of our lives?” “Huh, can you stop daydreaming? He's just temporarily not in his right mind. Who knows when he'll recover. Then, all your efforts will be in vain,” Lola said.

“That's why we need to seize the opportunity and strike first,” Evan said, wearing a sinister smile. “I've thought about it. We need to take action now while he’s under this condition. Even if he recovers one day, we'll already have control of his assets. We can say he’s mentally ill and have him sent to a mental hospital.” Lola crossed her arms, sneering. “And what about Joanna? That woman is not to be underestimated. Will she stand by and watch you send Bruce to a mental hospital?” “Hmph, she and my cousin are no longer remarried. What right does she have to interfere? Besides, when the time comes, she won't have a choice but to agree!” Evan declared.

After thinking for a moment, Lola began to waver. “Evan, Liam already has a lot of assets. | think...” “This matter has to be handled by Liam! So, continue to influence him in the future and make him refile the lawsuit against Joanna,” Evan said.

Hearing this, Lola could not help but sneer sarcastically as she said, “Really? You just had Liam withdraw the charges against Joanna, and now you want him to file them again? What do you think he will do?” Evan sighed with regret. “There’s nothing we can do. We thought Bruce had fully recovered! Who knew fate would help us again and make him mentally disabled again? He's practically no different from a vegetable now. Liam naturally has the qualifications to apply for guardianship. Besides, that woman, Joanna, will try everything to remarry my cousin. What we need to do now is to stop them from remarrying at all costs. At the same time, we need Liam to expedite the process of becoming Bruce’s guardian.” Lola listened to Evan, but she was still hesitant. She stammered, “Evan, Liam has enough assets. | think...” Before she could finish, Evan interrupted her, saying, “One should be ambitious in life! Even if Liam has a lot of assets, it's still only approximately 10 billion dollars. Most of which are in shares and real estate. And don't forget, Liam has a son and a daughter. Who knows how many illegitimate children he has in secret? Even if we divide the assets in the future, there won't be much left. That's why | must think of other ways to ensure we can live freely and comfortably in the second half of our lives.” Lola listened, her eyes reflecting contemplation.

Indeed, Liam's total personal assets amounted to around 10 billion dollars! But most of these assets were not in cash, mainly consisting of shares and real estate. If they were to be sold in the future, their value would decrease significantly.

Even if they were to divide the assets in the future, Evan might not receive 400 million dollars! After all, the assets included houses, company shares, and other non-liquid assets.

“I'm not sure if | can convince Liam,” Lola said.

“Lola, I believe you can. You're the best; no one else will help me like you. As long as you can influence Liam and successfully seize Bruce's assets, I... I'll marry you! We can go abroad and enjoy life. Liam is getting old. Do you really want to serve him for the rest of your life?” Evan pleaded.
