Chapter 26

Sophia scoffed.

"Do you really think bargaining will make you worth millions?"

"That price doesn't even scratch the surface of my value," Alex replied with a wink

"But seeing how eager you are, I decide not to make it too difficult for you. I'll offer

a 99.99999999999999999% discount, so it will be just one hundred thousand. How about it?"

Alex chuckled inwardly.

Sophia's jaw dropped.

She couldn't believe what she'd just heard.

Holy crap!

She had never encountered such shamelessness in her entire life.

This was the unfortunate consequence of marrying a useless man-a man who would live off her wealth without contributing anything, and still think so high of himself.

Her glare deepened, and so did her disdain.

But she had no choice. She didn't want Alex spending the night with her, and her patience had finally worn thin.

Stepping forward, she coldly said, "I hate you, and I don't want you near me. I'l pay you to sleep elsewhere, so stay away! You better take the money, or you'll be sleeping on the cold floor!"

"You know what? I don't need your money," he replied casually.

Sophia's glare intensified, her eyes filled with disdain. "Your foolish pride is infuriating!"

What a waste of her beauty and intelligence, being tied to someone like him!

Her desire for a divorce grew stronger by the second.

Afraid that Alex might really try to stay with her, she hurried to get the money, determined to kick him out as fast as she could.

Meanwhile, Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster entered the sitting room

Mrs. Lancaster's face contorted with revulsion, as if Alex's very presence was unbearable.
