Chapter 522 Misunderstanding
Jackson's face instantly turned cold and stern. He opened his eyes, frowned, and said coldly, "Get out!"
Star's face turned pale, her eyes reddened, and she said in a hurt and embarrassed tone, "I'm sorry, I'll leave right now!"
She spun to leave in a hurry but clumsily hit her head on the door frame.
The documents slipped from her grasp, and she promptly crouched to gather them, tears rolling down her cheeks.
Lillian naturally heard the sounds coming from the other end of the phone.
Star's voice was indeed recognizable.
Lillian then recalled Star mentioning at the airport that she had been with Jackson for two months.
It turned out that Star had been arranged to work at Star Group, right by Jackson's side.
Jackson was very good at separating personal and professional matters. In the past, Lyra had arranged for Lillian to work as a secretary in the CEO's office at Star Group to help improve their relationship.
Jackson's demeanor changed to severity upon seeing her; he later harshly reprimanded her in his office.
If it weren't for Lyra's insistence, Lillian would have been kicked out of Star Group by Jackson on the spot.
But Star? Star hadn't even gone to school for years, yet now she was working in Jackson's office at Star Group. One could only imagine Star's background.
Lillian was grateful she didn't fall for Jackson's lies, avoiding the trap he set to win her back.
She let out a cold laugh and said, "It seems Mr. Frane doesn't have time to discuss with me right now."
Jackson listened to her mocking tone, his temple veins slightly bulging, but before he could explain, Lillian had already hung up the phone.
Meanwhile, Star was crying as she picked up the documents, her forehead swollen from the bump, looking very pitiful.
She thought Jackson would come over to help her, giving her a chance to speak for the Price family.
Without solid evidence, she couldn't believe Jackson could be so indifferent.
However, Jackson sat behind his desk, showing no intention of getting up.
His cold, piercing gaze made Star feel incredibly uneasy.
In the end, Star didn't dare to do anything else. She gathered the documents, wiped her tears, and pushed the door open to leave—the Frane House.
Since Lillian and Jackson disagreed on the divorce terms, Lillian feared the divorce wouldn't go through and felt extremely frustrated.
But as she was about to go upstairs, Noah came over and said, "Mrs. Frane, Mr. Frane just called. He said you can refuse everything else, but the child support of two million dollars per month is non-negotiable, and you can also choose an property you like."
"Mr. Frane said he couldn't let his child live with a financially struggling mother without a place to stay. If you agree, I will immediately amend the agreement."
Lillian stopped in her tracks and nodded without hesitation. "Okay."
Noah, relieved to hear her agreement, quickly said, "Please wait a moment, Mrs. Frane. I will draft the agreement right away."
As Noah turned, he was drenched in sweat. As a lawyer, he'd never seen someone so desperate to give away property to his ex-wife.
Noah was very efficient. In less than ten minutes, he brought the new agreement to Lillian.
Lillian signed it, and Noah left with the agreement.
The next day, Terry came to pick up Lillian. As Lillian got into the car, Terry explained, "Mrs. Frane, Mr. Frane has been away for almost a week, accumulating a lot of urgent work. He stayed up all night working and had an unexpected meeting this morning..."
Lillian interrupted him, "You don't need to report Mr. Frane's schedule to me. I only care if I can see him at the State Court later."
"Mr. Frane has already left the company, Mrs. Frane. Don't worry."
Lillian nodded, "Please call me Ms. Young, thank you."
Terry met Lillian's calm and determined gaze and nervously said, "Alright, Ms. Young."
When Lillian arrived at the State Court, Jackson was already there.
