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.

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.”
