Chapter 178
Alexander caught up with her: "Charlotte, we've been together for seven whole years. Don't you understand? You're exactly the kind of wife I need."
"As for Sabrina, I just take care of her like a little sister. Besides, she's so outstanding, she's not meant to be trapped in family life."
Charlotte felt a wave of disgust: "Alexander, just shut up."
Alexander: "Charlotte!"
But Charlotte cut in to remind him: "Oh, and remember to transfer that hundred million today, or don't expect Oliver to treat Sabrina tomorrow!"
Before Alexander could respond.
Charlotte couldn't be bothered to look at him anymore and walked straight out of the room.
At that moment, a staff member behind them who was tidying up slammed some documents heavily on the table: "What a mess! This should've been thrown out ages ago!"
Charlotte had already walked out of the courthouse quickly.
Seeing Charlotte appear, Jenna immediately rushed up nervously: "Charlotte, is it all done?"
Charlotte pulled out the divorce certificate and waved it in front of her, even her tone carrying a cheerful lilt: "All done!"
Calvin, standing nearby, couldn't stand seeing them happy and made a snide remark: "Tsk, seeing your friend get dumped and you're this happy?"
In front of Calvin, Jenna wasn't about to back down.
She stepped forward, put her hands on her hips, and stared at Calvin with a cold laugh: "You're talking about yourself, aren't you?"
"After all, the one who's been hoping your good friend would get divorced all along is you. Those who know think you're Alexander's good friend, those who don't might think you've been deliberately provoking them to divorce with bad intentions."
"Oh right, you've never had a girlfriend, have you?"
"Alexander does have that pretty-boy look. You don't have a thing for him, do you?"
Jenna shouted dramatically, her eyes rolling mischievously over Calvin.
Calvin's head heated up, and with a low roar, he lunged forward!
After all, Alexander was divorced now and had nothing to do with Charlotte anymore. So forget Jenna - even Charlotte, he didn't need to hold back anymore.
Charlotte quickly pulled Jenna back.
At the same time, a man's cool, detached voice sounded behind her: "Calvin, stop."
Seeing Alexander appear, Calvin reluctantly stopped but pointed at Jenna viciously: "Alexander, do you know what this old woman just said? She accused me of liking you. I have to teach her a lesson today no matter what!"
Alexander looked at him with disgust and disdain: "Is hitting women something to be proud of?"
Calvin felt like someone had dumped a bucket of cold water over his head and finally calmed down.
Because he realized quite a few people had gathered around, pointing at him with undisguised contempt on their faces.
Some had even pulled out their phones and were filming them.
After all, this was the courthouse entrance, and with such a commotion, it was hard not to attract attention.
Calvin finally settled down completely.
Sabrina had long since stood far away, eager to distance herself from Calvin.
As for Alexander, watching his deflated friend, disappointment flashed in his eyes. How had he never noticed before that Calvin was so crude and boorish, even wanting to hit a woman in public?
While he was troubled, his phone suddenly rang.
After the call, a dark look flashed in his eyes.
He stepped forward, looking somewhat helplessly at the guarded Charlotte: "Mom just called. Owen has a fever again and keeps calling for mommy. Why don't you go see him?"
Charlotte's face was indifferent: "With so many people taking care of him, I don't need to go."
A dark shadow crossed Alexander's eyes: "Now that we're divorced, you won't even acknowledge your own son?"
Charlotte raised her eyebrows: "If you want me to continue taking care of him, you can transfer custody to me. That way, I'll definitely take good care of him without you having to worry about a thing."
Alexander said nothing more, just looked at her deeply before turning to leave.
At that moment, Jenna seemed to remember something important and hurriedly pushed Charlotte: "Charlotte, did you get that hundred million?"
Charlotte paused, then deliberately said loudly toward Alexander's retreating back: "Don't worry, Mr. Forbes is a big CEO - how could he short me that little bit of money?"
Jenna knowingly blinked and also said loudly: "You can't easily trust what men say!"
Charlotte drew out her words: "You're right. After all, he can casually spend a hundred million on another woman—"
Before she finished, her phone received a message: [Bank deposit received, one hundred million yuan.]
"Got the money!" Charlotte showed the message to Jenna proudly.
"Wow!" Jenna excitedly hugged Charlotte tight, "We're rich!"
"Once the studio gets going, it'll be perfect!"
"I don't care, you have to treat me to a really good meal!"
Charlotte laughed and hugged her back: "Okay, let's go now! Big feast!"
Hearing their cheers, Calvin and Sabrina couldn't hold it in anymore and turned to glare at them.
Sabrina's eyes were nearly red.
Why!
That bitch Charlotte, who couldn't compare to her in anything, still managed to get so much from Alexander?
The previous bills of over two hundred million, plus the hundred million divorce settlement - Charlotte had easily become a multi-millionaire!
And herself, having just emptied her wallet to buy that twenty-million-plus bracelet, now had only a few hundred thousand in cash besides a pile of luxury goods.
Seeing how busy Alexander had been lately, he probably hadn't thought about paying her back that twenty-plus million.
What to do?
No, she had to find a way to get more money from the Forbes Group!
Beside her, Calvin's gaze was even colder than Sabrina's.
"Sabrina, just wait,"
"Charlotte hurt Alexander so badly this time, she won't have any good days ahead."
