The Billionaire's Secret Quartet

Chapter 614

Bruce shook his head. “You don’t get her, Evelyn. She has an insatiable appetite for money. She won’t divorce me unless I can cough up a hundred million. No matter how hard I work, I can’t make that kind of money. But I yearn to be with you so badly that it’s driving me mad. That’s why, when that wealthy widow took a liking to me, I didn’t outright reject her. I’ve been stringing her along, hoping to secure that hundred million in alimony so I can sever all ties with her and then divorce that dragon lady. Then, you and I could be together forever.”

“A hundred million? That much?” Evelyn was stunned, only then realizing that her hand was still clasped within Bruce’s.

“It’s a lot, I know. That’s why I’m stuck. I want to give you and Thalassa a complete family, but I can’t. Poor Thalassa doesn’t have a father to back her up, and she’s at the mercy of the Sinclair family.”

Bruce sighed. His tone was filled with regret for not being able to marry Evelyn and help Thalassa.
