Countdown to My Divorce

“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.

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 frowned slightly. A look of surprise flickered in his eyes. “That much?”

“Yeah. Maybe you hadn’t noticed before,” Yale replied.

Yale could understand. Tyler was the type to focus all his attention on business. He barely spent any mental effort on the logistics of his personal life. Probably because of the recent rush with the Oasis project, Tyler had simply overlooked these things.

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.”
