Chapter 204 Is $100,000 More Important or Me?
"I've signed, but Donovan hasn't signed, so we can't divorce," Chloe said, staring at Barbara.
"Don't worry, we have ways," Barbara said with a smile. "Will you sign?"
"I will." Chloe just wanted to go home quickly, and she felt that even if she signed, Donovan would never sign.
But if he did sign, she would have no choice.
It must be fate between them.
Chloe quickly wrote "Chloe" on the divorce agreement and then hurried out of the warehouse.
She felt that protecting herself was more important, and she didn't want Barbara to detain her for too long. The longer it took, the more disadvantageous it would be for Barbara.
Chloe felt a bit soft-hearted toward Barbara.
She knew Barbara would definitely use this divorce agreement to her advantage. She wanted to take the initiative, go back early to gain the upper hand, and also prevent Donovan from calling the police.
But when Chloe arrived at the Blake family, Paisley was sitting in her living room.
She held the divorce agreement signed by Chloe.
"Donovan, your little wife wants to divorce you. This divorce agreement was found by Barbara when she went to see Amelia tonight, and Chloe signed it herself. Perhaps Chloe felt she couldn't say it to you in person, so she wrote this divorce agreement and didn't know when to give it to you," Paisley lied.
Recently, Paisley had been closely monitoring Donovan's family and knew that Brayden had visited the Blake family last night.
The message she wanted to convey to Donovan was that Brayden had visited the Blake family, Chloe was tempted, and she wanted a divorce.
Paisley was indeed using the divorce agreement signed by Chloe to find Donovan and ruin the relationship between the two.
Donovan might sign in a fit of anger, not listening to Chloe's explanations, and then Chloe wouldn't be able to explain.
And tonight, Barbara didn't actually go see her mother, but...
But when she thought of her uncle's illness, her heart softened.
They probably knew Chloe would soften and were sure she wouldn't mention the kidnapping.
Chloe's own kindness was being taken advantage of.
If she told Donovan about Barbara's kidnapping, Donovan would inevitably get angry and call the police. Kidnapping is punishable by law. Her uncle has only Barbara, and he relies on her for his old age.
"Did you write this?" Donovan asked, holding up the paper.
His expression was cold.
"Yes." Chloe quickly thought about how to respond.
Now that Paisley had the upper hand, Chloe was very on the back foot. Words that were easy to say before were now hard to utter.
"Why?"
"Jacob... Jacob is getting engaged. Karen asked him for a hundred thousand dollars. I know Karen isn't targeting my mom, she's targeting you. She blames me for dragging you down. I thought if I divorced you, my brother wouldn't have such fantasies," Chloe said. "So, I wrote the divorce agreement."
Paisley frowned tightly, not expecting this turn of events.
Barbara didn't even know about Jacob asking for money!
"Afraid of dragging me down, so you want a divorce?" Donovan's expression softened.
"Yes. Our family is too much of a burden for you," Chloe said.
Amelia once said not to tell Donovan about Jacob's engagement.
She never imagined she would be forced by Barbara to reveal it.
Moreover, it seemed that doing this was much better than directly asking Donovan for money.
How great Chloe was, to the point that she even put "divorce" into practice to avoid dragging Donovan down!
How could Donovan not be moved?
Even though she didn't want this to happen and didn't want to deceive Donovan's feelings, it had already happened.
"A hundred thousand dollars, is that a lot?" he asked, sitting on the sofa, one leg crossed over the other.
"For me, it's a lot," Chloe said, squeezing her palm.
"What's more important, a hundred thousand dollars or me?" he asked, staring at Chloe.
"Of course it's..." Chloe raised her hand and pointed at Donovan. "You!"
A smile seemed to spread across Donovan's face. He touched his chin and said, "If I'm important, why would you give me up for a hundred thousand dollars?"
"That's not something I should take," Chloe said.
Paisley's face had already turned pale, not expecting...
"In that case, shouldn't you ask Jacob?" Paisley thought that Chloe must have made this up. She definitely wouldn't reveal Barbara's kidnapping, so she came up with this excuse. Besides, Chloe and Jacob had always been at odds, and Jacob definitely wouldn't help Chloe.
