Ashley slapped her mother-in-law’s hand aside with a slap. She sneered. “If you want to live in my house, beg me!” With that, she raised her chin and walked back to the booth proudly in her high heels. As soon as she returned, she saw Alex and Amelia watching the show. Amelia even applauded her. “Aunt Ashley is so cool!”
Ashley: ‘
“Let’s go.” She put away her laptop and said with a gloomy expression, “My good mood has been ruined!”
Alex stood up and easily picked Amelia up.
Seeing that she was about to leave, her husband seemed to feel too embarrassed and immediately said fiercely, “Okay, very well! Ashley, if you leave this door today, believe it or not, I’ll divorce you immediately!”
Ashley didn’t even look back. She just picked up her laptop bag and left.
Ashley’s husband: “… l’ He was really embarrassed. He could only puff himself up and pretend to be unyielding as he left.
Ashley’s mother-in-law was so angry that her high blood pressure was about to flare up. She shouted, “Divorce! You have to get a divorce!”
Ashley’s husband was very annoyed. “It’s Ashley who’s been earning money all these years. If divorce her, what can I get?”
Ashley’s mother-in-law said, “I’ve already consulted a lawyer. If it’s the common income between husband and wife, whether it’s the money she earns or the money you earn, it’s the common property of husband and wife.” She grinned proudly. “So even if you don’t earn a single cent after you get married, she’ll get half of the money she earns! This is the law!” So no matter whether Ashley buys a villa or sells a house, she has to split half of the money!
Ashley’s husband was pleasantly surprised. “Really? Are you sure that’s what happens?”
Her mother-in-law said, “Of course!”
Ashley’s husband immediately heaved a sigh of relief. This was great. When they were arguing, he had only said that the divorce was to scare Ashley. He did not dare to really get a divorce. After all, he was indeed in the wrong all these years. He did not earn a single cent. He was afraid that he would not get a single cent from the divorce, but now…
Ashley’s husband sneered. “I’ll sue for a divorce now. Let’s see what Ashley will do then! Let’s see how she begs me!” When Ashley came over and knelt down to beg him, he would remarry her.
Amelia and the other two walked on the street outside. Amelia asked curiously, “Auntie Ashley, are you getting a divorce too?” She could not understand why adults liked divorce so much.
She shook her head. “I’m not getting a divorce.” She had also asked her lawyer before. If they got a divorce, half of the money she earned would be shared as the husband and wife’s assets. In other words, no matter what the real situation of their family was, as long as it was assets during the marriage, the husband and wife would enjoy it together.
This rule was very infuriating!
Amelia couldn’t figure it out anymore. “Auntie Ashley, aren’t you afraid that your husband will divorce you?”
She sneered. “Firstly, he doesn’t dare. Secondly, even if he really dares to get a divorce, I’m not afraid.” That family was unwilling to let go of her. After all, her husband was useless. Without her, he could only ask for money from the butler. Moreover, her mother-in-law knew her son’s character. How could she be willing to spend money on her son? In addition, even if they really got a
divorce in the end, she was not afraid!
When they arrived at the intersection of the square, Alex and Amelia were about to go back. Amelia waved goodbye to Ashley. “Goodbye, Aunt Ashley. Good luck!”
Ashley nodded heavily. “Best of luck!”
As soon as she returned home, she received a call from a lawyer. He said that his client was going to sue for divorce and asked to discuss the distribution of the couple’s joint assets.
“There’s no room for discussion.” She looked at herself in the mirror and gave herself red lips. She looked beautiful and valiant.
The opposing lawyer said, “It’s like this. I also heard from your husband about your family’s income during your marriage. Madam Ashley, I have to remind you that although you’ve been earning money after marriage, your husband still has the right to split half of your assets, including the villa you just bought.”
Ashley’s red lips curled up as she said slowly, “Then did my husband tell you that the money I earned all these years was my mother’s account? We’ve been married for three years. Who said that I was the one who earned money? How can a woman like me be so capable? All these years, it was my parents who helped me and gave me money to spend. The money my parents gave me shouldn’t be considered a joint property of husband and wife, right? My husband wants a divorce, right? Alright, I’ll go over now..”
