Chapter 589: Sorry, I Don’t Want to Divorce
Old Master Lawrence ignored her and she did not disturb him either, she quietly stood there watching him make tea.
She watched him expertly rinse the teapot, spout, lid, teacups with hot water, then drained the teapot and teacups. After that, he used a teaspoon to put in the tea leaves, poured water to brew it, and with fluid motions that resembled flowing water, he poured two cups of tea, only after the third nod of his head.
He then put down the teapot, accepted a cloth from the servant, wiped his hands clean, sat down, took a sip of tea, and looked at Enna.
“Sit.”
Enna hesitated for a moment before sitting opposite him.
Old Master Lawrence pushed a cup of freshly brewed tea in front of her and said indifferently, “Try it, how is the taste?”
Enna took it and had a sip. She did not understand the way of tea, and she felt that this cup of tea was too strong for her.
Old Master Lawrence lifted his cup and took a sip, then continued indifferently, “Ms. Clark, I investigated you before coming here. You are the illegitimate daughter of the Clark Family, you have a money-grubbing aunt, a father who cares only about profit and lacks humanity, a manipulative mother in name, your sister who is your ex-boyfriend’s fiancee hates you to the bone, and yet she is mindlessly impulsive. To put it bluntly, Ms. Clark, your family is a complete mess.”
“And then there’s you. You dropped out of university to have a child abroad as soon as you got in. Your education stopped at high school. Besides, I know about your temperament. You are a good girl who’s understanding of others…” He paused for a moment, eyeing her sharply, “But you are not fit for the Baron.”
From the moment she stepped through the door, Enna had already felt that the old man in front of her did not like her.
So, when she heard Old Master Lawrence’s frank words, she was not too surprised.
“Jason, bring it up.”
“Yes.”
A safe box was placed in front of Enna, and the housekeeper opened the safe box in front of her, inside it, neat stacks of money were displayed.
“Five years ago, you accepted 750 thousand dollars from Baron’s biological mother, and left him. Ms. Clark, this is 1.5 million dollars. Leave the Baron.”
“…”
He was outrightly contemptuous!
So contemptuous that he didn’t even bother to hide it!
Enna bit her lip tightly, gathered her courage and looked into his sharp eyes, “I am with him not for the money, I love Baron Lawrence. I know I have a lot of shortcomings, but I will strive to change. Regarding my education, I am preparing for a self-study test…”
Old Master Lawrence seemed completely indifferent. His gaze swept over her like an X-ray, and suddenly asked, “Are the clothes you’re wearing brought by the Baron?”
At that moment, Enna suddenly felt as if a slap had landed on her face.
She wanted to explain but didn’t know how to.
Indeed, the clothes that she was wearing were brought by Baron Lawrence, and she had chosen them herself just yesterday.
Her silence was tantamount to admitting it.
Old Master Lawrence did not even Bat an eyelid, he simply ordered again, “Jason.”
Another box was placed in front of Enna, the housekeeper opened it again in front of her, but this time, the box did not contain money, but gold bars.
“7.5 million dollars, I believe that should be enough.”
Enna knew this was prejudice against her poverty. No matter what she said, Old Master Lawrence would not listen, and she didn’t want to be humiliated with money anymore. She stood up and shut the lid of the safe box, then took a deep breath and looked at the imposing old man in front of her, “I’m sorry, but I’m already married to Baron Lawrence, and I don’t want a divorce.”
