Ian didn't speak, but he decided one thing deep down: he wants to be strong, to protect his sister, mother and grandmother!
Monday came around.
Violette met with Elijah's attorney.
After the divorce papers were painlessly signed and done, the lawyer told Violette, "Ms. Dennis, that building you want to buy, got the contract right here."
Violette froze for a moment: "He asked you to handle this for me?"
The lawyer simply nodded, taking the contract out of his briefcase and handing it to her. "You might want to look, specifically at the price."
Violette took the contract, flipped it open, and went straight to the price.
Two hundred million!
This is the original purchase price for Elijah.
He was taking a hit if he was selling it to Violette for that price!
"What's he up to?" Violette was puzzled.
The lawyer explained, "I guess, maybe because you two were once married, he's decided to sell it to you at cost."
"I don't need his charity. I heard the building's market price is around 500 million." Violette said, "I don't want him to lose money. I can give him 600 million."
The lawyer: "I need to tell Mr. Bourne this."
Violette: "No need. Just change the price on the contract. We can sign it ourselves. He and I have no ties now. He's a businessman, always counting the pennies. He won't blame you."
The lawyer pondered for a moment, then nodded. "I'll get in touch once I've updated the contract."
Violette: "Sounds good."
Angela International Institute.
In this castle-like skyscraper, a tragedy was playing out.
"Stop crying! If you keep crying, I'm going to lose it!"
