What Separates Me and You

Chapter 69 You Want a Divorce

Josephine looked at Patrick, and after a few seconds, she took her phone and typed. “If I give you the money, will you bring Mrs. Jinkins back?”

Patrick said with a smile, “Of course! There will be someone to care for her, and she’ll be less of a burden to me. I see that you and my mom are close. I’m sure it won’t be a problem to sponsor some of her living expenses, right?”

Josephine was silent for a while before typing, “Bring Mrs. Jinkins here. Then, I’ll give you the money.”

The smile on Patrick’s face vanished. He said curtly, “She’s old, so she can’t travel much. Give me the money first, then I’ll bring her over.”

Josephine did not believe him. Mrs. Jinkins had once said that his greed knew no bounds. If she were to give him the money this time, and if he not only neglected to bring Mrs. Jinkins back. but continued to use Mrs. Jinkins to extort her for money, she would have no more money to give him.

“Bring Mrs. Jinkins back.”

Patrick was a little infuriated. Indeed, he would not stop at only getting 500 thousand dollars from Josephine

The Alvarez family was such a huge corporation. 500 thousand dollars was nothing to them. It would not be worth his effort if he did not get at least five million dollars.

“If you want to continue bargaining with me, fine I’ll cut to the chase. Give me five million dollars, and I’ll bring her here! If you can’t, we don’t have a deal!”

Josephine was slightly taken aback. She looked at Patrick in disbelief as she did not imagine he would be so demanding

Patrick knew immediately from Josephine’s reaction that she could not put together five million at that moment, so he said, “State a time and day. When you get the money, I’ll bring my mom over.”

Josephine could not give him an answer, because she had borrowed 500 thousand dollars from Avery. Where the hell was she going to get five million dollars from?

Patrick showed her all five of his fingers. “Five days, alright? I’ll come looking for you in five days.”

Josephine typed, “I can’t gather that much money.”

Patrick furrowed his brow. “Who are you trying to fool? The Alvarez family is so rich. How could you possibly not put together five million dollars? Do you think I believe you? I don’t care! If you can’t get me the money in five days, you can say goodbye to my mother for good!”
