Chapter 295
Ashley took the document a divorce agreement. The first clause stated he wanted custody of Sam. The rest detailed the assets he was giving her, spanning several pages. She’d come to inquire about the divorce proceedings. Glancing at the agreement, she placed it back on the table.“I have no objections.”
She reached for her pen to sign. Feng Tingyi and Ethan exchanged looks. Ashley’s past methods of gaining power had been questionable. But they knew how much she loved Chase. Ethan expected her to be devastated and resist the divorce. Instead, she readily agreed, even to giving up
ustody of Sam.
He looked incredulously at Chase, who, also surprised by her immediate acceptance, stared intently at Ashley.
Just as she was about to sign, she hesitated, retracting the pen. Ethan scoffed, certain she wouldn’t-
“I’ll have my lawyer review this tomorrow. I’ll sign and have my lawyer contact you within two days,” she said.
The agreement listed many assets, including a portion of his company’s shares. Her previous agreement had requested nothing. Now that he was offering something, she wouldn’t refuse. They’d been married for years; he hadn’t loved her, but he hadn’t set any traps either. She’d‘ initially wanted to sign immediately, but now she hesitated. She feared loopholes. If there were any issues, she could become a scapegoat if his company encountered problems. He might not have intended harm, but she couldn’t guarantee Tanya wouldn’t exploit any weaknesses after marrying him.
He seemed surprised by her caution.“Okay,” he said.
She put the agreement back in her bag, saying nothing more before leaving. Ethan, still disbelieving, looked at Chase.“Is she alright?”
Chase, his gaze lingering on Ashley’s departing figure, replied quietly, “I don’t know.”
