Countdown to My Divorce

Chapter 210

“It’s true. His family does have a child with leukemia. And yes, he’s been pocketing quite a bit of money. Roughly a million,” Yale reported calmly.

Rachel couldn’t help but gasp.

A million sounded like a lot, and it was. But when it came to a disease like leukemia, even that amount might not go very far. No matter how much money one had, illness had a way of burning through it like fire through paper.

Tyler waved him off. “No. The company needs to focus on the project right now. I don’t have the time to waste on lawsuits. Just fire him and start looking for a new personal assistant.”
