On the Ruins of His Regret I Soar novel Chapter 109

Jessica looked down. "Lance, I don't want to be married to you anymore. I don't even want to see you. If it wasn't to deliver these papers, I wouldn't be here. Besides, Grandma has already agreed to our divorce. Just sign it. I don't want to take this to court."

That would be too messy, too ugly. No matter what Lance had become, she wanted to give the love she had felt for so many years a clean ending… even if it was far from perfect. It was better than letting it become even more scarred.

"My terms are in the agreement," she said. "Take a look. If there are no issues, sign it. We can finalize the divorce in a month."

Lance's hand clenched into a fist. He fought the urge to throw the document into the paper shredder, forcing himself to open it and read through it page by page.

He let out a cold snort. "You're asking for fifty million of our marital assets. I'll give you this, you're not greedy."

The years they had been married were the most prosperous for The Smith Group. Countless projects had crossed his desk, including a major development with Veridian that had garnered national attention, positioning them perfectly for explosive growth. The company's monthly revenue alone was more than fifty million.

Yet, Jessica was only asking for fifty million. It wasn't much. In fact, it was more than reasonable.

She remained silent.

He continued to flip through the pages, the rustling sound filling the office. "You're demanding full custody of our daughter, with visitation rights for the father at any time, provided he gives one day's notice. Child support of one hundred thousand per month until she turns eighteen. The father is required to place one-third of his net worth into a trust for the daughter, which she can access at eighteen…"

Lance sneered. She was being stingy with herself, asking for only fifty million, but when it came to their daughter, she was demanding the moon.

After the asset allocation, the document ended.
