The divorce settlement was something Lizetta had expected, but she was caught off guard by the extensive list of assets that were now part of the deal. It appeared as if her soon-to-be ex-husband, Remington, was trying to drown her in a sea of wealth-properties, mutual funds, stocks, a string of registered patents, and even cash and jewels. The property values alone seemed to hit the billion-dollar mark, not to mention everything else.
Moreover, Remington had agreed to a monthly alimony of $500,000. Lizetta was overwhelmed, to say the least.
"I don't need any of this," Lizetta tried to argue, looking across the coffee table at Mr. Barlow, her lawyer. "And the alimony... I..."
"Mrs. Dashiell," Mr. Barlow interrupted, "this is your rightful claim. Why on earth would you refuse? And as for the alimony, it's already less than what's typically expected. Mr. Dashiell insisted on this amount, fearing you might not accept more."
Lizetta was speechless. It was as if Remington thought he could just throw money at her and make everything okay.
She excused herself to make a phone call, stepping toward the floor-to-ceiling windows of the upscale Manhattan lawyer's office. Dialing Remington's number, she didn't have to wait long before he picked up. "Met with Mr. Barlow?" Remington's voice came through, casual as ever.
