Chapter 700 Please Divorce Dad
Ralph had no idea shortly after he sold his shares. Nathaniel’s subordinates snapped them all up at a low price.
He thought he had struck gold.
“If we don’t go to court, doesn’t it mean we'll have to return the money to Cecilia?” asked Cassandra.
A cold glint flashed in Ralph's eyes. “Cassandra, Cecilia could demand us to return the money because your
mom and | were still married. If we were to divorce, it would becPaula’s personal debt.”
After hearing that, Cassandra did not offer any rebuttal, merely saying, “We'll go find Mom tomorrow.
Naturally, she preferred money over Paula.
The following morning, Ralph and Cassandra’s visit made Paula’s quiet hospital room unusually lively.
She assumed the two had cspecifically to see her, so she intentionally ignored Ralph, only engaging in
conversation with Cassandra.

Ralph knew he was in the wrong for never once visiting her, so he could only signal to Cassandra with his eyes.
Understanding Ralph's message, Cassandra waited until he went outside before telling Paula about everything
Cecilia had done, spicing up the details with exaggerations.
“That wretched girl! | can’t believe she had the nerve to demand money from you guys!” Paula exclaimed.
“Mom, | heard from the caregiver that Cecilia cto see you yesterday. Was there a specific reason?”
Cassandra asked.
“No, she just wantsto return the money.” After saying that, Paula took Cassandra’s hand and continued,
“Cassandra, you've been through a lot because of me. That wretched girl said she’ll visitevery week from
now on. I'll speak to her.”
Cassandra probed, “Mom, don’t you have any other solutions for us to avoid returning the money?”
Paula fell silent for a moment, wrestling with words she suppressed over and over before finally shaking her
head.
Seeing that, Cassandra stopped beating around the bush, saying, “Mom, | thought of a great solution to protect
our assets.
“What is it?” Paula asked
“Please divorce Dad.”
These words struck Paula like a bolt from the blue. She finally understood the purpose of the two's visit.
“Cassandra, | am your biological mom. How could you encourageto divorce your dad?”
“It's just a sham divorce. When you two divorce, give all the assets to Dad so Cecilia won't get a single penny,”
Cassandra explained.
Paula was no fool. She was well aware that she was now past her prand plagued with a terminal illness. If
she chose to divorce, it wouldn't be a fake one.
Judging by Ralph's current attitude toward her, she knew he could no longer love her as deeply as he once had.
“No. | won't divorce your dad,” Paula replied.
She couldn't afford to gamble on a divorce, especially if it meant walking away with nothing.

Upon seeing her firm refusal, Cassandra was furious. “So, you're just going to stand by and watch Cecilia divide
our family assets? Why should we hand it over to Cecilia? This is something Dad worked incredibly hard to earn.”
“What do you mean your dad earned it with great difficulty? Most of the Evans family’s wealth today cfrom
me.” Paula finally couldn't stand it and argued with her. “Don’t forget, Cassandra. Without me, you wouldn't
have had such a comfortable life.”
After that rebuff, Cassandra knew she was in the wrong and said, “Mom, | got too emotional just now. | couldn't
stomach the thought of Cecilia seizing all the money you've painstakingly obtained. As long as you agree to
divorce Dad, we can draft an agreement in private to ensure the remainder of your life.”
The remainder of life was essentially just one or two years.
At that moment, Ralph entered the room and said, “Don’t worry, Darling. Even if we go through with this fake
divorce, | will still take good care of you and love you.”
Cassandra followed up with a threat, “Mom, we're family. If you don’t even have this much trust, | might as well
not visit you in the future.”
The father-daughter duo’s pressures and emotional blackmail caused Paula's eyes to redden slightly. A cramp «
seized her stomach, and she involuntarily wet herself, releasing a distinct odor.
