After being reborn, I make up my mind to stop chasing after my husband and daughter

The next morning, I transferred 30 thousand to Ryan, hoping it would help him get through this tough time.

Jared called me into his office, and on his desk was a list. “Take a look at this,” he said.

My heart skipped a beat as I picked it up. It was a list of properties and shops under Jared’s name–over thirty in total, spread across all the top–tier and second–tier cities nationwide.

“What’s this?” I asked.

Jared lit up a cigarette and said, “These are for you. I’ll have all these properties transferred to your name within three days, and they’ll be listed in the divorce papers.

“The company shares will take a bit longer, but if you’re in a rush, we can sign the divorce papers by the end of the month.”

“Thanks. I want to get this over with as soon as possible, if possible,” I replied.

Most people went to war over assets in a divorce, but not Jared. He was loaded, and his real power was his ability to make money. To him, this cash was just pocket change. But to me, it was life–changing money.

Jared stared at me, smoking moodily and tapping the ash off his cigarette. He then said, “Fine. I’ll get it done as soon as possible.”

“What about the hotel business?” I asked.

Jared said, “Even if you end up working for me, you probably won’t see me much. Don’t worry–I won’t be all over you.”

I froze for a second. After the divorce, he would be/swarmed by gorgeous women. He probably wouldn’t even have time to think about me.

“I wasn’t worried about that,” I replied.

Jared let out a soft laugh and said, “Victoria, I always thought you were gentle and easygoing, but I never realized you were soft on the outside and tough on the inside.
