Chapter 285
Jerome didn’t respond to Mikayla’s question and just said coldly, “I’ll give you two hours to move back, or the conditions will expire and become vold.”
She couldn’t stand his arrogant tone and sneered. “No need for that. I like money. But if I have to remain bound to this marriage, I would rather not accept it. I can make money myself. I don’t have to listen to you.
He choked. “Did you forget about the dangerous accident you encountered so quickly?”
Indeed, she couldn’t forget it..
Mikayla stated, “Now that Johnny has been captured, I won’t meet similar accidents again. Besides, I can’t always hide in Dragoncrest Villa and shun socializing to avoid accidents.”
“Mikayla, I’m just asking you to go back and stay for two weeks. We can talk about it when I return from my business trip.” Jerome’s tone was vaguely sullen.
“No, I don’t want to stay there any longer.”
If she had known about this condition before moving out, she might have been able to tolerate it. But now that she had moved out, she had felt the joy of freedom. She had no reason to go back.
Moreover, Jerome was a shrewd businessman, He wouldn’t do business that had no benefits. Who knew if he’d come back to talk about divorce alimony? Maybe he’d ask her to pay mental compensation or
labor fees?
So, she’d better not be greedy. It was most reliable to rely on herself.
Jerome lost his patience when he heard Mikayla’s determination in her words. “Fine, then! You can do whatever you want! We’ll get divorced after I return from my business trip! I won’t give you another
chance, not even if you regret it!”
After saying that, he was about to hang up hot she stopped him. “Wait a minute!”
His anger had subsided slightly, but his tone remained cold. “What else?”
“Repeat what you just said. I’ll record it. In case you change your mind at the last minute-”
Before Mikayla could finish her words, Jerome cut off the call and slammed the phone against the desk.
The phone’s screen cracked. It might be unusable from now on.
Mike was standing aside, waiting to report. He pretended to see and hear nothing. He only felt sorry for the good–quality phone as Jerome had just damaged it.
Mikayla’s influence was getting stronger. She made Jerome, who had always been calm and steady, so irritable and violent.
Noticing Jerome’s expression gradually darkening, Mike mustered his courage to speak to make his life
easier.
Mr. Miller, why didn’t you inform Mrs. Miller of the reason you want her to return to Dragoncrest Villa? Just tell her you’re worried about her safety and that you might not be able to arrive in time to help her. should anything happen?”
He had heard almost the whole conversation just now, so he understood what his boss meant, but Mikayla didn’t.
Upon hearing that, Jerome retorted, “When have I ever been worried about her? If she wants to move out, just let her be. I’ll no longer interfere with her business! Print out the divorce agreement. I’ll sign and send it to her!”
Mike didn’t dare to persuade him for fear of offending him.
Of course, he wouldn’t take the divorce agreement seriously. If Jerome really wanted a divorce, he wouldn’t have come to Mochuria.
Mike found it difficult to be Jerome’s special assistant as he had to keep guessing his thoughts.
Mikayla rested in the hotel for a few hours. In the evening, she received a call from Taylor. He offered to pick her up and take her to an outdoor bar.
She had agreed to play the drums for him yesterday. There was no way she could refuse him. She’d better fulfill her promise as soon as possible.
She told him the hotel address and changed into a simple T–shirt and jeans. She then tied her hair into a
ponytail and went downstairs with her handbag.
When Mikayla left the lobby, she saw Taylor standing next to the car waiting for her.
He was wearing a formal white suit, a black shirt, and a silver tie. His hair was combed upward, and he looked quite flashy.
More precisely, he resembled a pretty boy.
