Beyond the Divorce

Chapter 1080 Pulled Back at the Last Minute

I looked at Johnson, taking a minute before I spoke.

"Tell me when he's leaving. When his mother passed away, she left some money. I'll give him some," I told Johnson.

"Isn't that money for Ava?" Johnson asked. "I've already taken care of his travel expenses. That should be enough."

"I can't just leave it to you all. Ava has me, and she doesn't need that money. I didn't even want it. I planned to return this money to him if he really turned over a new leaf and started doing honest work." I had only discussed this with Atlas, and he completely supported my decision. That money was just a drop in the bucket to him.

For Matthew, it was a significant sum.

Besides, Atlas wouldn't let me spend someone else's money.

Continuing, I said, "I won't give it to him now. I don't know what he's up to. Also, all of Melanie's assets, even those her mother stole, are currently in my custody. I'll return them to him in the future, but on the condition that he follows the right path. I'm telling you this now so you can be a witness later on."

"You've really put a lot of thought into this, Chlo! He's really... Oh, it's a shame," Johnson said with a bitter smile.
