Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You

Her father’s tone softened.

“Looks like you snagged a big fish! I bet he’ll give you a hefty sum when you divorce, right?”

“I said I won’t need anything for the divorce in the agreement,” she replied firmly, showing her resolve.

Her father erupted again, “What? Are you out of your mind? We’re counting on you to send money back to help us make ends meet.

For heaven’s sake, Dulcie, you signed a one-sided agreement.

At least get some money out of him! Otherwise, it’s a total loss for you.

You’re wasting a whole year! How can you be so foolish?”

“Stop berating her.

She has her own reasons.

She’s smart and knows what she’s doing,” Dulcie’s mother interjected.

“What the hell does she know? She uprooted her life from Tuborg to Cadiered and stayed there for five years, all for this man.

And what did she get? A one-year marriage agreement! She doesn’t even want his money! Do five years of her youth mean nothing to her? Does she think she’s running a charity? She’s absolutely clueless!” Her father had blown a fuse by then.

Her brother chimed in, echoing their father’s sentiment, “Dad’s got a point, Dulcie.

At least squeeze some money out of him.

The Shaw family is loaded.

Even a million dollars would be more than enough for us.

I could build a place of my own and maybe even get married…”

Her mom sighed deeply.

“Stop pushing her…”

“Shut your trap! You are just a woman.

You know nothing!” her dad harshly scolded her mom.

Dulcie’s unhappiness boiled over.

“Dad…”All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

As her family bickered and cursed each other over the phone, she heard the sound of slapping.

Someone was crying, but nobody paid any attention to Dulcie.

Her mom, far away and alone, couldn’t be helped directly by Dulcie.

She steeled herself and said, “I understand, Dad.

Don’t worry about me.

I’ll keep sending money home.

But if you Lay a hand on Mom again, I swear I’ll stop sending money.

Forever!”

She angrily hung up the phone with a decisive snap.

Except for her mom, her family members were nothing but leeches, constantly draining her of money.

Their remote countryside lives left them with narrow minds.

Her dad’s drinking and violence had never changed.

Staring at her phone screen, Dulcie slowly made up her mind.

She had to make her own money, and a lot of it!

After her divorce from Kyson the next year, she would return to Tuborg, persuade her mom to divorce her dad and live with her.

With that decision, her spirits lifted.

Suddenly, a noise interrupted her thoughts.

The street echoed with the horn of a luxury car.

The door of the luxury car opened, and a man dressed in a black suit, looking every bit the bodyguard, approached her.

“Ms.

Burton? We work for Mr.

Shaw.

”

“Yes, that’s me.

”

The bodyguard gestured for her to follow.

“Mr.

Shaw asked us to pick you up.

Please, get in the car.
