The staff looked up. “Are you not having an amicable divorce? Is there a property dispute?”“Of course, there is!” Neo said straightforwardly. “She had no one to depend on and had no income! Has she lived in my house for ten years for nothing? I even helped her raise her grandson! Who’s paying all that? Two hundred thousand, and I’m already asking for very little!”The staff immediately glanced at the old lady with contempt. “Is that so?”At that moment, the old lady was already covered in tears. Could she truly not find a place that would listen to reason? If reason could not work here as well, then she planned to just end her life by banging her head on the pillar. She said with a face full of tears, “I want to ask you people who know the law, are we not a family once I have married him?”The staff nodded. “Yes.”“Since we’re already a family, then why does he still want to clearly divide everything with me? He had raised my grandson, and I have lived at his house for more than
“However, I can’t raise my grandson. They were not willing to raise my grandson and said that they don’t have the obligation. I truly regret it very much. I’m only fifty-six now. There should still be people who want me if I were to become their nanny. After my divorce, I’ll find a place that includes meals and accommodation. I'll earn money for my grandson, support his education, and let him grow up to be a man. Am I at fault? I don’t want to be with you. I simply just don’t want to be with you anymore. Is that not alright?”The staff was speechless. He was simply stunned.“Please hurry up and process my divorce!” said the old lady with unparalleled resolution.The staff nodded. “Alright, Ma’am!”He paused then looked at Neo, who was still stunned. “Sir, you were a teacher, right?”Neo glared at the old lady, and then said to the staff, “That’s right! I am an educated person that is very easy to communicate with. Just tell me directly if you have anything to say!”“How much is y
“Ma’am, have you thought it through? Are you truly going to give up such a big sum of money?” The young man felt that it was a pity for the old lady.The old lady was not a person who was greedy for money. She also knew that the staff was just trying to seek justice for her. However, the old lady had already figured it all out within a few minutes. She was alone, and she still had to take care of her grandson in the future. Even if she forcibly took it to court to ask for the four hundred thousand dollars, it was anyone’s guess whether it could truly be executed in the end. She had no energy to take on such a long lawsuit. Besides, Neo had an extensive social network. The accommodation for the faculty members was filled with his colleagues and relatives.However, what about her? Her only son was still in prison. She had no way to truly take back those four hundred thousand dollars at that moment. Since she already knew she could not take that money back, she also did not want to wast
She was truly disgusted by this inhumane thing! Neo, on the other hand, called out behind the old lady “Ceci-Cecilia…you…”He seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. As he walked out of the city hall, he seemed to be as old as a seventy years old man. His wife had left him. In the future, he would be left all alone at home, then who would cook for him? Who would take care of him? His children? All of his sons did not know how to take care of others, and their wives certainly would not take care of him. What about his daughters? Was it not highly improper to have his daughters serve him so closely?It was best to have his partner, but she did not even turn her head around and take another glance at him. At that moment, Neo unexpectedly was covered in tears. “Cecilia…don’t leave.”The old lady actually heard Neo’s cry. However, what has that got to do with her? They were already divorced. She would never be anybody’s nanny for free anymore and be scolded by others. From then onwa
Habitual thief?Hana looked at her aunt. “Aunt Cecilia, are you a thief?”Cecilia’s face was flustered when she saw the person who came. “Stefan, it seems that you knew I took the fifty thousand dollars in the house?”Among the people who came looking for the old lady, the person in the forefront was Neo’s eldest son, Stefan. He pointed at the old lady. “You shameless old woman with sticky fingers! You actually stole money from your own house! It’s true that it’s difficult to guard against a thief in the family! Listening to the way you speak, you’re admitting that you stole my father’s fifty thousand dollars?”The old lady blushed but remained calm. “I took it. I didn’t steal it. Indeed, I have taken the fifty thousand dollars from the house.”As soon as she said that, Hana looked at her with her eyes widened. “Aunt Cecilia, you...this kind of thing…how can you do such a thing? How can you be like this?”Stefan sneered. “D*mned old woman! Even your niece is criticizing you this
Even if he was Neo’s biological son, he was not very willing to take care of the old man, especially to help him answer nature’s call. The best way to take care of the old man was to let him have a partner. He did have a partner, and she had only divorced him a month ago. Neo’s children were so furious when they thought of the old lady, who had abandoned their father and even stole fifty thousand dollars from the house, that they desperately hoped that they could let her face the most severe punishment.They had searched for a very long time and had even inquired about the old lady from her neighbors in her hometown. After a month of searching, they finally found the old lady at her niece’s house. Actually, their true purpose was to let the old lady take care of the old man. That way, it would be less of a hassle for the entire Dixon family. However, they also knew that the old lady was very resolute when she divorced the old man, so it was not quite possible for her to return. It so
Moving away was simply just to avoid Stefan and his siblings from coming over again. Hana could tell that the main purpose for them coming over was not to let her aunt pay them back. Although it was not quite honorable for her aunt to take the fifty thousand dollars in the house, she truly did not break the law. Even if they were to go to the police, no one could say that she had stolen the money. The greatest purpose for them to find her aunt was to let her continue taking care of the old man.Of course, her Aunt Cecilia would not leave with them. After ten years of hard work starting from when she was forty-six years old to the year she became fifty-six years old, her aunt was already incredibly old and gray. Those ten years of her life after being remarried had taken a toll on her aunt. She absolutely could not go back anymore.Hana was a very efficient person. They moved out within a day after she said they were moving away. However, after they had just settled in the new house,
In the end, the old lady was so backed into the corner that she was slightly buying into the idea of going with the flow. She turned to Hana. “Why don’t I just go and serve that old d*mned thing?”“Aunt Cecilia, we can always figure something out. The Dixon family is threatening us, and they will not get away with it. In a few days, after I have finished the business at hand, I will accompany you to report the case,” said Hana to her aunt, frowning.The old lady could tell that Hana seemed to have something on her mind, so she asked, “Hana, what happened?”Hana did not hide the matter from her aunt as well, she simply said, “Aunt Cecilia, I have witnessed my daughter, Tessa, following my footsteps. She actually is in a relationship with a man who is ten years older than her. That man is indeed rich, but he is a playboy in South City. He was ignorant and incompetent when he was younger. How can I let Tessa walk into such a dangerous situation? I must stop Tessa.”In the few days aft
