Chapter 127:Priceless Treasure (2)
Helena’s expression remained indifferent, “Thank you for taking the time to visit me amidst your busy schedule. I’m not feeling well, so I won’t get out of bed.”
Ryan smirked, “No need, just stay seated.”
“Do you have something to discuss?”
“Yes, I do.”
Ryan opened his briefcase and took out a checkbook.
He pulled out a gold pen and briskly signed a check.
Placing it on the blanket in front of Helena.
He lifted his chin slightly, adopting a condescending tone, “This is fifty million. Take it and leave Willis. Fifty million, combined with what Willis gave you before, totals over two billion. Many people can’t earn this much money in several lifetimes. I hope you can appreciate it and not be ungrateful.”
Helena lowered her gaze, glanced at the check, and smiled.
If it weren’t for him meddling, continuously giving Susan hope.
They wouldn’t have dared to escalate the situation, or even take such a risky path that could have led to Helena harming her.
Helena touched her slightly aching lower abdomen.
Ryan was indirectly responsible for killing her child, and indirectly responsible for Tim’s death.
Now, he had the audacity to bring a check to humiliate her.
In a fit of pique, Helena said, “Ryan, aren’t you being a bit stingy? I thought with your generosity, the amount would be at least a billion. Unexpectedly, it’s just a mere fifty million.”
Ryan chuckled, “You’ve been spoiled by Willis. A village girl like you, growing up in a small mountain village, even getting fifty million is already giving you too much credit.”
Helena laughed, a hint of mockery in her eyes.
The tone of his speech was exactly the same as Susan’s.
No wonder he liked her so much.
They were of the same kind.
Helena raised her index finger and said coldly, “If you want me to divorce, at least give me this amount.”
Ryan narrowed his eyes, displeased, “A billion?”
Helena shook her head, “No, ten billion.”
Ryan sneered, “Little girl, you have big appetites. Asking for so much money at once, aren’t you afraid of taking it with your life and spending it without your life?”
This blatant threat made Helena laugh in disdain.
She said lightly, “You don’t dare to kill me. Someone who has been to the gates of hell doesn’t fear death as much as you think.”
She didn’t even bother with polite language.
Because he didn’t deserve it.
Ryan’s gaze was aggressive, staring at her.
Helena remained calm, meeting his gaze.
The two of them locked eyes for a full five minutes.
In the end, Ryan compromised.
Ten billion was quite painful.
But as long as he could drive her out of his house, no matter how much money he had to spend, he was willing.
Ryan took out a checkbook, issued a new check, and threw it in front of Helena, “This is ten billion. Take the money and leave Willis immediately.”
Helena glanced casually at the amount on the check, confirmed it, and said, “Tomorrow I will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with Willis to submit the divorce application. After a month of the cooling-off period, we can get divorced.”
“No need for the cooling-off period. Tomorrow, you two go to the Civil Affairs Bureau, and I’ll have someone use connections to process your divorce directly.”
“Thank you for your trouble.”
Ryan stood up, arrogantly saying, “If you dare to change your mind, this ten billion, I’ll make sure you take it with your life and spend it without your life.”
Helena held the check, smiling as brightly as a mountain flower, “Rest assured, I’ve come to terms with it now. Life and money are more important than men.”Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Consider yourself sensible!” Ryan flashed a trace of contempt in his eyes, turned around, and left.
Downstairs, Ryan immediately called Willis.
After the call connected.
He spoke in a commanding tone, “Tomorrow, you and Helena go to the Civil Affairs Bureau for the divorce. She just asked me for ten billion.”
Willis remained silent.
Ryan disdainfully said, “This is the woman you’ve been raising so high. Nothing more than this, a gold digger and vain. Insatiable!”
Ten billion was too much for him!
Regret surged as soon as he left, even giving fifty million was too much!
Willis sneered, enunciating each word, “No, ten billion is too little. Helena is worth more. She is a priceless treasure.”
