Chapter 590 Agree to Get Divorce
Immediately, Forbos reached out to grab the check and said greedily, "No, no, no. 20 million is enough."
However, before he could land his hand on the cheque, Evelyn took a step backward and avoided his hand.
For a moment, Forbos was stunned.
Then, he heard Evelyn said word by word, "If you want the money, I'll give it to you, but you must promise me one condition."
Immediately, Forbos frowned in displeasure.
"Nonsense, I am your father. What do you mean I have to agree to your condition in order to get money from you?"
Hearing that, Evelyn almost laughed out of anger.
Last time at the bar, he was just about to gang up with an outsider to bully her. Now, he was calling himself her dad?
She really didn't know how was he such a thick skin!
Without wanting to talk nonsense with him, she said directly, "After you get the money, you have to get a divorce with my mother. Otherwise, I rather burn the money than to give you a penny."
When Forbos heard her words, he was stunned.
In fact, a few years ago, Evelyn's mother had already proposed a divorce to Forbos.
But at that time, Forbos was not willing to do it, so the court could only suggest for the two to handle it in private. In the end, because he was still unwilling to do it, the divorce was not successful.
In the following years, her mother made a fuss about it a few more times, but Forbos did not agree every time.
However, Evelyn knew that if she wanted to get her mother and herself away from this unscrupulous man, them getting a divorce was the only way.
But for a rogue like Forbos, he knew that she was famous now, so she could be his living cash cow.
As long as he remained married to her mother, he would have control over Evelyn too, so how could he agree to divorce so easily?
Therefore, she could only come up with a tempting way to force him to divorce.
As expected, when he heard her words, his face darkened immediately.
Looking at her coldly, he said with a sneer, "You wish. I've been married to your mother for more than a decade, and I didn't agree to a divorce a few years ago, but you are telling me to get a divorce now? Ha, do you think I'm stupid or you're stupid?"
But Evelyn already knew that he would say that, so she was in no hurry, as she put the cheque away slowly.
Then, she said in a flat tone, "Since you say so, then there is nothing I can do. Anyway, if you don't get a divorce, you can't get the money. I know you have many ways, so do give it a try and see if I will compromise with you out of fear."
She had had enough!
She had enough of living in the dark and spending her days in fear.
Thus, she had thought about it clearly.
Since her mother's surgery was very hopeful now, and as long as the news from Clarissa was true, her mother should be able to undergo surgery soon.
By that time, Forbos might really expose her past, or use his identity as her adopted father to frame her.
And he might ruin her reputation.
But she would let him be!
By that time, she could take her mother abroad, or find a remote place to hide and live. Even if she left the spotlight, she and her mother could still live well.
Meanwhile, Forbos saw that she seemed to have made up her mind about getting the divorce for her mother, so he panicked all of a sudden.
"Evelyn! You can't do this. I'm your adopted father anyway. How could you force your adopted father and mother to get a divorce?"
But Evelyn said coldly, "I gave you a choice, but you didn't choose it yourself."
After a pause, she continued. "It's getting late. Mr. Canyon, you should go, or I really have to call the security."
As she was speaking, Forbos's face turning pale. He stared at Evelyn angrily, as if he wanted to dig out a piece of flesh from her.
"Y—You don't have to threaten me. Let me tell you, if you really push me, I will really expose you to the media. By then, you won't be able to earn a penny. How are you going to take care of your mother..."
With no patience to listen to him anymore, she took out her mobile phone directly and was ready to dial the property management number.
What kind of property management was this? She had paid so much on the property management fee every month, but was it all a free investment?
Why did they let everyone in?
In fact, she still didn't understand how Forbos found her residence and sneaked in.
In the meantime, Forbos realized that she was serious, and he didn't want to lose everything just like that.
So he rushed forward and grabbed Evelyn's mobile phone, then said repeatedly, "Okay, okay! I promise you!"
When Evelyn heard that, her eyebrows twitched.
Turning around, she looked at him in disbelief.
"Are you sure?"
Gritting his teeth, Forbos thought of the debt he owed some time ago, and at that moment, his addiction that made him uncomfortable was relapsing again.
If he didn't do anything else, he would die!
Therefore, he nodded without hesitation.
"Yes, I'm sure, but the price needs to be doubled!"
Hearing that, Evelyn frowned. "You want 40 million?"
"No! I want 50 million!"
Gasping for air, when he mentioned the number, his eyes were bloodshot red, and even his smile became ferocious.
"As a famous celebrity, you will make at least tens of millions a year. I have raised you for more than ten years, but I am only requesting a year's worth of your income. It is not too much, right?"
Hearing that, Evelyn looked at him coldly.
Fifty million?
Wow! He really did have the guts to say that.
However, if 50 million could buy her mother's safety, it was worth it.
With this thought in mind, she gritted her teeth and agreed.
"Okay! 50 million then. But you have to go through the divorce formalities with my mom as soon as possible. After you finish the procedures, I will give you the money."
But Forbos was a smart person.
In just a second, he found a loophole in Evelyn's words.
Immediately, he shook his head and said seriously, "No, who knows if you will cheat? After I get divorced, what happens if you don't pay me the money?"
With a frown, Evelyn looked at him in disgust.
"Do you think that everyone is as shameless as you?"
Hearing that, Forbos choked on her words.
However, at this moment, he couldn't be bothered to get angry.
Rolling his eyes, he suddenly suggested. "How about this, you can give me some of the money first so I will be rest assured knowing that you won't break your promise. Then, I shall go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with you to sign the papers. Anyway, to get through the formalities, you have to wait until tomorrow, right? Now give me some of it first."
Hearing his suggestion, Evelyn sneered. "Forbos, you're really shameless."
But even so, in order to get rid of him, she took out a credit card from her purse and tossed it to him.
"There is a sum of money here. You can take it first. Tomorrow, as long as you come to sign the papers, the money will be yours."
Picking up the credit card, Forbos gulped and was not even paying attention to what Evelyn was saying.
He stared at the card and asked, "How much is in it?"
Upon hearing that question, Evelyn hated him so much that she said impatiently, "Two hundred thousand."
Immediately, Forbos's eyes widened in shock.
"What? Two hundred thousand? Are you trying to send me off with two hundred thousand?"
Looking at him coldly, Evelyn took a step back vigilantly.
