Sherman and Billy didn't have children, so they didn't have to think about child custody. Now the only issue was the distribution of their property.
After graduating from college, Sherman married Billy and became the young lady of the Day family. She hadn't worked all these years, so she didn't have money.
When they were in hot love, the vows and sweet words were nice and made them happy.
In college, Billy put his strong arm around her shoulders, narrowed his eyes, and said to Sherman,' Honey, you don't need to work after we get married. Working is not only tiring but also interferes with our happy life. You can stay in the apartment. I will earn money for you!"
She didn't feel the embarrassment clearly until they divorced. During the four years of marriage, she didn't have any money except for what he gave her!
"Mrs. Day can get three percent of the shares in Mr. Day's name." The lawyer said. Mr. Day now had six percent of the company's shares, while his father had forty percent of the company's shares.
If his father retired, those shares would of course be transferred to Mr. Day. His father would retire at the beginning of the next month.
Since they divorced at this time, Mrs. Day would only get three percent of the shares. People in the company knew that his father would retire, but of course Mrs. Day didn't know that.
But three percent of the Day Group's shares was enough for a woman to live a happy life.
If Sherman didn't have these shares, she would be penniless. She would have a problem living her daily life.
Reality was not like fairy tales. In a fairy tale, one could proudly throw away the check and left. But in the reality, one could get nowhere without money, especially in today's materialistic society. She was not the virtuous kind of person, but an ordinary person.
"I got it." Sherman nodded and asked directly, "Where should I sign?"
