Chapter 160
He was hoping Alexander would dump Charlotte. He wanted to see her become an abandoned woman, crying in regret, and tasting endless hardship and misery in life.
But if Charlotte left Alexander and immediately married into another top wealthy family, still living a glamorous life, it would be better to keep her by Alexander's side, continuing to let them order her around and mock her.
After all, he hated Charlotte so much now that only her suffering would make him feel good.
So if Charlotte really wanted a divorce, he absolutely couldn't let her get what she wanted.
He even planned to convince Alexander to drag it out, at least for two years, and during that time find an excuse to force Charlotte back to the Forbes Family to continue doing housework, and endure their sarcasm and ridicule. Just thinking about it felt great!
By then, Jordan, who was just chasing novelty, would definitely get tired of Charlotte and look for other women.
At that point, he would convince Alexander to dump Charlotte, making sure her plan failed completely!
Just thinking about how miserable Charlotte would be made him happier!
'Charlotte, you want to fight me? Better check your capabilities first!'
Calvin got more and more excited thinking about it!
He suddenly grabbed Sabrina's hand and said, "I want to discuss something with you."
Sabrina hid the disgust in her eyes and firmly pulled her hand back. "What is it?"
Calvin was completely absorbed in his own thoughts and didn't notice Sabrina's attitude toward him at all.
He even leaned closer and whispered his plan to her.
Sabrina's face showed resistance at first, but gradually became intrigued.
Although Calvin wasn't very reliable in getting things done and had too hot a temper, when it came to scheming against people, he was quite thorough.
Even if Alexander divorced Charlotte now, Sabrina still had to focus on her career and find a chance to claim her illness had recovered. So for the time being, she definitely couldn't marry Alexander.
Rather than letting Cynthia, that sharp-tongued woman, push other women onto Alexander, it would be better to let Charlotte continue holding the title of Mrs. Forbes for now. When the time was right, they could convince Alexander to divorce her, and then Sabrina could naturally take her place.
There was another reason—she didn't want to see Charlotte end up with Jordan at all.
In her view, Charlotte, with only her looks and being divorced with a child, didn't deserve any of River City's elite men, not even the divorced ones.
A woman like Charlotte, with only beauty but divorced and having had a child, should only remarry those low-class men who beat their wives and used foul language.
When Alexander returned to the car, he clearly sensed something odd in the atmosphere.
Sure enough, as soon as the door closed, Calvin came up to him with a serious expression.
Suddenly smelling an unpleasant odor, Alexander couldn't help but press his nose. "Calvin, let's take you home to change clothes first, then send Sabrina back to the hospital."
Calvin replied, "Okay."
He hated Charlotte even more now.
If not for her, how would he have been laughed at by so many people? And how would Alexander look down on him?
Calvin instructed the driver to go to a downtown apartment he owned nearby.
After going home to shower and change, he rushed to the Forbes Group and went up to the CEO's office with Sabrina.
Without even taking a sip of coffee, he couldn't wait to speak. "Alexander, have you noticed that Charlotte seems really determined to divorce you this time?"
Alexander, just lifting his cup, paused slightly.
Sabrina took the opportunity to chime in. "Calvin's right, I've also noticed Charlotte has changed a lot recently. She never dared to speak loudly to you before, but now she dares to talk back to you."
Alexander silently thought to himself, 'Talk back? She called me a jerk this morning!'
Then Calvin leaned in mysteriously. "From what I've observed, she must have found another man, which is why she suddenly changed her mind and really wants to divorce you."
"Didn't I tell you? When Charlotte came to see me this morning, she ran into Jordan in the hallway. They were making eyes at each other—something was definitely off! Oh, and a few days ago someone told me they saw Charlotte having dinner with Jordan."
Sabrina seemed to suddenly realize. "No wonder Jordan's attitude toward Charlotte was so different at Maurice's birthday party. Also, when Jordan was treating me before, he was always cold and sarcastic. I felt so wronged. Now thinking about it, he was trying to stand up for Charlotte."
Calvin angrily slapped his thigh. "She hasn't even officially divorced Alexander yet, and she's already flirting with other men? That's too much!"
As he spoke, he turned to Alexander. "Alexander, it's easy to get married but hard to get divorced these days. You absolutely can't let that bitch Charlotte off easy! If she wants a divorce, we'll drag it out. Even if she files for divorce in court, we can still delay her for a while. Drag it out until she's desperate, and maybe she'll agree to leave with nothing. That way, you'd even save the hundred million you promised her. By that time, Jordan will probably have lost patience and found another woman. But when that happens, you can't be soft-hearted. You must dump her hard! Let her know the consequences of betraying you!"
Calvin hung around with a bunch of playboys, and Patrick himself was quite the womanizer, so he'd learned all kinds of divorce tactics from a young age.
Wealthy divorces never ended amicably.
In bad cases, they'd become bitter enemies.
Some even continued to drag each other down and target each other years after divorce.
Therefore, Calvin had heard of or personally witnessed many bizarre divorce incidents.
Upper-class people would stop at nothing to gain advantage in divorce, even coming up with underhanded schemes to grab assets.
He remembered a self-made CEO who, to please his mistress, schemed to transfer assets and then sued through the court, taking half of his wife's personal property.
He still vividly remembered the despair in that wife's eyes.
So when it came to dirty tricks, Calvin was particularly skilled.
Calvin continued proudly, "Also, Owen's custody is in your hands, right? If she insists on divorce, make her pay child support Given your current investment in Owen, make her pay two million a month. Let's see if she still dares to be arrogant."
Sabrina glanced at Alexander, who had been silent, and suddenly asked, "But what if the man she remarries is willing to pay that money for her?"
Calvin burst out laughing. "Sabrina, you're overestimating Charlotte too much. What rich man would marry a divorced woman and then be willing to pay a huge sum every month to her ex-husband to raise his child?"
Sabrina seemed to think seriously. "Seems like there really isn't one. But treating Charlotte this way doesn't seem quite right, does it? After all, she's Owen's biological mother."
Calvin dismissed it. "She's already stopped caring about Owen before the divorce is even official, and you're still thinking of her?"
Sabrina pouted. "Alexander, don't listen to Calvin's nonsense."
Alexander, who had been silent, now rubbed his cup thoughtfully.
Sabrina noticed this, and a subtle smile curved her lips.
