Chapter 650

It wasn’t an outrageous amount, but for covering their living expenses, it was more than enough.

The moment Sasha heard that, she blew up like a firecracker.

“What did you just say?! Two million? Rachel, are you joking with me? You’re trying to buy me out with only two million? Do you even know how much it costs to raise a kid these days? You didn’t calculate a damn thing!”

Sasha had already done her math before. With her plan, she could get at least five million out of Jim, and that was the low end. Now, Rachel was chopping it down to two million.

“I’ve already done the numbers. It’s plenty, so stop trying to haggle.”

Rachel didn’t care what Sasha said.

But to Sasha, two million was nothing. If she couldn’t get what she wanted, she’d rather gamble and risk it all. Maybe she’d hit the jackpot later.

Her expression hardened. She dropped the act.

“Rachel, if that’s all you’re offering, then there’s nothing left to talk about.”

Rachel frowned. She had underestimated Sasha’s greed. She thought two million would be more than enough, but if Sasha kept pushing this fight, it would only make things worse for everyone.

That was when Gerald finally seemed to catch on. His expression darkened with rage.

“Sasha, you venomous woman! Has our family treated you so badly? And now, you want to strip us of everything we’ve got? You’re nothing but a vulture!”

Sasha sneered, no longer pretending.

“Too much? When I married into this family, I had nothing. I begged Jim to marry me, but he insisted on mourning his wife for three whole years. Do you know what I went through in those years? Do you know how many people looked down on me? Even the maids treated me like dirt!”

She had hated those years, living under everyone’s judgment.

If it hadn’t been for her good fortune in getting pregnant and delivering the baby within the first year, she didn’t even want to imagine what her future would’ve looked like.

Gerald snorted. “And whose fault is that? You knew his wife had just passed, and you still forced your way in. That’s the price you pay.”

Sasha fumed. “Don’t you dare pin it all on me! You think it was just me chasing him? He wasn’t some saint, either!”

Gerald’s face turned red with fury. He pushed himself up with his cane, voice shaking.

“Shut your mouth! You don’t get to talk about him like that! And you think you’ll get a single dime of this family’s money? Dream on!”

Sasha threw her head back and laughed. “Gerald, do you still think this is the old days? Let me spell it out for you. Even if Jim divorces me, I’m legally entitled to a share of his money.”

Rachel could tell the situation had spiraled. Gerald wasn’t able to control Sasha anymore; she was completely unhinged.

At that moment, Jerry came over after taking a call.

“Rachel, the person we hired just arrived.”

Rachel’s tense expression finally eased into a smile.

“Bring him in.”
